I have a very porky 21 month old DS. He has always been 98th percentile. My dds were also quite strapping but slimmed off by school age so it must be a family thing. However DS hardly thinks of anything but food. He spends much of the day dragging me to the fridge shouting till I give him a snack (yogurt or cheese string for preference). He then tucks into hearty meals and if its his favourite (pasta) will happily eat an adult portion.
Is he hungry? A friend said little boys sometimes need to eat often so maybe I should cut back at meals and go with it. Anyone any experience of this?
Cheers!
