How much does your 15MO eat?

My DS is 15mo, he eats a big breakfast of ready brek and then toast most mornings, has a mid morning snack of fruit and baby crispy type things, then lunch, usually something like cheesey mash, beans, fish fingers, lasagne, pasta wit veggies, and another snack in the afternoon. He always wants milk when I get home from work which means after a feed he's full and tired by tea time and I can't get him to eat anything in the evening. I wanted to know if he is eating enough or I should try to change his meal times - what do you think?

My youngest is 15 months and still has four milk feeds a day on top of his food, so if he wants milk I would let him have it.
I think that sounds like a good amount of food. My son eats probably the same amount, but will always cry for his milk.

Okay that's good to know! DS has feed in morning, when I get in from work, before bed and through the night as well which makes me think maybe it's not filling him up.

my 16 month old has a bottle.of milk about half 6 then either toast or croissant with philadelphia or cereal at 8 then fruit and veg to snack on between half 9/10 then nap then something like macaroni or pasta type dish for lunch between 12/1 sometimes a sandwich then any snacks he has which are usually again fruit or veg and yoghurt then dinner at about 4 once we get home from school pick.up which is whatever family are having so stew lasagne etc then about 6 he'll have some supper which are usually finger foods chicken, ham, veg crisp type.things and cheese and a bottle of milk for bed at 7 however he drinks a lot of water throughout the day and sometimes baby juice. my health visitor told me to cut back to 1 bottle of milk a day as he should be getting his vitamins and nutrients from food but he likes a bottle morning and night and it doesnt do him any harm. every baby is different and all have different appetites so whatever works for your little one is fine x

My DS will sometimes feed in the night too, though I think it's for comfort.
