12m eating

[Answers4hubby]

Is it normal for a 12m old to eat a crumpet, cheese, a banana, 2 nectarines and some grapes just for breakfast? Am I over feeding? (Sometimes she will eat more!)

Yes. DS is 18 months and since about 10 months has regular days where she is unfillable. It isn't unusual for breakfast to be a whole na and, a Weetabix with milk and the. A crumpet, and then be asking for more food an hour later.

You can't over feed at this age - especially if they're feeding themselves and you're not offering fry ups and Haribo

My 12 month old eats more than me, if they are feeding themselves a third of what you have given them will not end up in their stomachs but elsewhere! And as pp has said it's not a fry up or haribo :)

that amount of fruit in one sitting is not ideal imo but it certainly doesn't amount to over eating especially as most of it is probably on the floor

as long as they are active then I wouldn't worry about a healthy appetite. dd is now 19 months and has gone off pretty much everything except tinned macaroni cheese cold out of the fridge gip but she will eat a whole single portion tin in one sitting and then have pudding or yoghurt or fruit or both

Hope so. DS will sometimes eat loads, other days not so much. I think you should just feed them to their hunger as long as they are active and it's not crap.
