constantly hungry

Cathyr1003

Anyone elses LO want to be constantly eating something?? I feel like i am feeding DS all the time.  Ever since we stopped bottles during the day he wants to eat all the time.  He eats 3  meals but he wants to snack all through the day.  Anyone else? On another note - since taking away daytime bottles (he still gets a bottle first thing am & bedtime) he is super clingy and whiney.  I think he is starting to even throw tantrums.  I feel like I am getting into a bad habit of feeding him to calm him down.  fyi:He weighs 23 lbs/40%.  TIA!

I do snacks. He doesn't have a morning bottle just breakfast around 7:30am with a sippy of milk. Around 9:30am I'll give him something to munch on like fruit or yogurt drops. Then at 11:30am he has his lunch and sippy of milk and goes for a nap around 12. When he gets up I give him snack around 3pm. Dinner at 6pm. Then a bottle before bed. So I'm guessing eating during the day is normal. His snacks aren't huge, but like a box of raisins or something.

We give snacks. Usually fruit. I have a paper from a pedi that says toddlers should have 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. Their bellies are little and can only hold so much so they get hungry more often.
