So I have ds who has just turned one. He's always been a good eater in terms of solids and is still breastfeeding just in the morning, when he gets home from nursery and last thing at night. He goes to nursery during the day and I've noticed that he's eating a lot. For example this morning he had a bowl of porridge, Blueberries and a banana for his breakfast. Because he was dropped off early they obviously tried him with the breakfast the other babies had and he then ate an entire bowl of wheatabix. He will eat all his snack (usually toast, cheese and a few types of fruit) and will eat his main lunch meal (think casserole or stew etc) but has started to always take a second portion. He'll have something for his afternoon snack like custard fruit and a piece of veda and then at home he'll eat all his dinner which would be again some type of stew or curry etc and sometimes will take a bit of watermelon or other fruit after.
Should I be worrying that he's eating too much? He's not overweight and has generally always tracked along the 50th centile for weight and his clothes etc fit as they should. Do I just count my blessings and trust his appetite and let him eat what he wants? On the very rare occasion he will refuse food when he's finished it just doesn't happen too often!
