DS is 2 and a half and loves his food. MIL is constantly commenting on how much he eats and how ‘good’ he is. He does have days where he rejects his lunch/tea for something else but is generally good. The constant comments such as ‘wow eating again’ and ‘having more?’ Are
starting to make me paranoid that I’m giving him too much.
A general day looks like this:
Breakfast: weetabix x2, shreddies, shredded wheat, porridge, cornflakes
Mid morning snack: banana, orange, cereal bar, half a slice of toast
Lunch: homemade soup & toast, pasta w veggies, omelette , scrambled eggs, fish fingers w waffle & veg, sandwich fruit & yoghurt
Afternoon snack: biscuit, carrot/cucumber sticks, something we baked in the morning
Dinner: whatever we’re having
Does this sound too much? He certainly looks healthy and is a very active boy. He eats until he’s full and we never push for more. My gut tells me it’s fine but I’m interested in other thoughts!
