My lovely 5 year old DD has always been a very good eater ever since she was weaned.
The last couple of months, I have come downstairs to find my fridge and cupboards raided. All of this is being eaten before I wake up in the mornings.
Yesterday, her morning raid consisted of:
6x small petits filos yoghurts, 1x dairylea dunker, 1x apple and 1x satsuma.
This morning, she ate 6x more small yogurts, 1x packet of wotsits and 3x plain tortilla wraps
We always make sure we have filling, healthy meals during the day, but the words ”im still hungry still come out after finishing her meals and when we put her to bed!
In reception class last year, she was weighed and measured and it later came back to us that she is overweight. This wasn’t a surprise to us, as she has always been ahead of ages in clothes for her age. and her dad and I aren’t the slimmest of people!
So my main question is, would any see this as a cause for concern and to contact the gp? Is there anything we could change?
