My 18 month old seems to want to eat all day. I'm not sure if it's always hunger, or just habit/boredom. Luckily it's all (mostly) healthy. She just constantly takes my hand and leads me to the kitchen saying 'more'.. all day!
6 oz bottle of milk
Bowl of weetabix
Bowl of branflakes
Slice of toast
Strawberries & blackberries
Another 6oz bottle at nap time
Pasta, chicken and veg
2 small yoghurts
Chicken soup & crackers
More berries (she loves those!)
Driving to collect DH, she'll have a snack in the car like crackers/cheese
Then bottle before bed

Mine used to eat anything and everything they could get their hands on the cheeky so and sos

Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted she's got such a great appetite. It's just that she seems to get annoyed if she's not constantly got something to eat. Even at baby playgroup all she kept doing was going over to the snack corner to the tea ladies, rather than playing Grin

If she's not ill or overweight, I wouldn't worry.

I wouldnt worry. Babies usually know their limit. Mines eats great one day then grazes the next.

At 18 months, shell likely need the bit extra for all the running around they do!!

My daughter is still like this and she is now 6! She is skinny as anything though so obviously needs the energy!

The food sounds fine but at 18 months she should be having milk in a cup not a bottle.

I don’t like little ones eating in the car because you can’t see if they are choking.

Maybe try her with more protein in the morning? I have a very hungry 14 month old girl and I now give her an egg or even a handful of prawns or some sardines from a tin(!) along with her usual cereal / toast / fruit in the morning. She wolfs it and I think it’s good to get some protein in early in the day to keep them going. She seems pretty settled until lunch then.
