I'm really, really hungry! Are all toddlers like this or am I starving my child?

And then you give her food and she doesn't eat more than half, and within an hour shes asking for biscuits and is 'really really hungry' again.
OR, am I starving her?
for example, today she had

bowl of cereal (mix of cheerios, mini weetabix and mini shredded wheats)
glass of 50/50 oj and water
slice toast with marmite

3 smarties (poo on the potty!)
gingerbread man

Lunch was
cheese and pickle roll, satsuma, 10 grapes
pack of no-salt crisps

Tea
Fritatta with 1 egg, loads of cheese, courgette and cherry tomatoes, slice of toast,a plum and a small bowl of fromage frais

I could hear her whinging over the monitor and when she saw me she satrted crying saying she was really, really hungry, she had some of her water and is quiet now (although not asleep!)

Is that okay? she has unceasing cups of water as well....

I gave her extra snacks today (dry cereal, (ick) yoghurt raisins, oat biscuit, breadstick and a glass of milk) and she STILL ate a huge bowl of pasta with pesto and cream cheese (and nicked a hadnful of mine...) and polished off another glass of milk before bed.

She did try the 'I'm hungry' thing a few times, I offered grapes, satsuma or cheese, which she took quite happily, so I reckon she probably was hungry

Bad Mummy!
