Eating too much?

Athena0809

So over Xmas DS got a stomach bug, I posted a question here about it, pedi said it would take a while, fine, but his stools are all over the place, loose stools put to 5x a day!

Anyhow, I have noticed that he is eating a lot, and I mean a lot! I wonder if it's related to his GI health not being back to normal, or he is just a growing boy. But it's noticeable for someone who used to eat like a bird. Since I had not cooked dinner tonight, DH who was on night duty while I went to school, fed him whatever, he made him a kale and cheese omelet, then he had two servings of my apple/pear sauce, a whole banana and a mum-mum! Typically he would be fine with just the egg! and I could write another long paragraph listing what he ate during the day!

Am I being crazy? If he is eating that much is because he's hungry, right?

My guess is it's preparation for a growth spurt or just a hungry phase. DD also usually eats like a bird but then she'll have a few days about once a month or so where she's a bottomless pit and eats almost constantly.

He could be going through a growth spurt or that is his new appetite.  My daugher eats a lot.
