Tea time - how much do i give to 18mths old?

[biglips]

as i give her 2 fish fingers, 2 smiley potato faces and mixed vegs (cubes carrots, peas and runner beans)

(thats what she is having now)

[Scrumpty]

Carry on giving her this, but have some extra on standby!
If you give her too much on her plate, it could put her off, but obviously you want to know that you're giving her enough.
Or, instead of standby, give her raw veg, or fruit to choose from when she has finished, then you will know she is eating healthily, but also that she has had plenty!!
Hope this helps.

I think if it's normal (haha) food then they will stop eating when they've had enough, but they may be a bit greedy when it comes to lovely puds etc so I would only give them a small amount of that sort of thing

i remembered looking on here and its down to my fist size is how big DD's stomach is - is that true?

i usually do give her a yoghurt or fruits for her afters

She will tell you if she wants more. Does she scoff it all and look for more or does she slow down and struggle to finish it?

[starlover]

does she seem happy enough after it?
I usually know when Linus wants more because he whinges for it! lol

its depends what the tea as she is mad on fish and pasta and vegs but other she just eat abit..
