Just seen a post on here about size of portions for young kids.
AIBU in thinking that if the kid eats it all is it really a problem?
Also what if the kid doesn't eat much during the day but eats at dinner time? Then is a larger than normal portion still not acceptable?
For example my little boy is 18months. Breakfast he'll have 1 weetabix. Lunch time he wont touch much apart from maybe half a banana and a yogurt. But at dinner time hes got his appetite back so he'll have for example - 3 fish fingers a potato waffle and a handful of veg/salad. I thought this was fine, but I've just read this is the portion size someone gives their 5yo??? I understand that kids have different appetites but now I'm thinking I'm over feeding him come dinner time?
AIBU and over feeding the poor kid? or am I just making up for wasted food at lunch time?
Anyone in a similar boat? or can give me examples of portion sizes they give/gave their toddlers?
ps. he never wastes dinner either
