Eating too much

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
Do you think kids at this age will overeat? My son never seems to turn his head. I'll give him a handful of puffs/cereal, 1/3 jar of cubed apples or carrots, a jar of 6 oz stage 3 dinner, and a few ritz crackers or a teething biscuit. Then maybe within the hour he's wanting to try what we are eating for dinner. He never is not interested in eating.  We feed him breakfast, then a snack, lunch, snack, and dinner. Snack could mean bottle or fruit/veggies and crackers.

    Is he always like this or is it a recent occurrence.  Around 11 months to a year my DS ate like a grown man.  He would eat a whole grilled cheese sandwich, diced apples, raisins and dried blueberries, and a yogurt just for lunch.  It was the amount of food an adult would eat.

    He has definitely slowed down on his food intake now.  I think it's perfectly normal for them to want to try new foods as well.  Think about it this way- even if you ate a large supper an hour before, you'd probably want a taste of a dessert if one was offered or you saw someone eating one.

    If he really jumps up in the percentile chart at his 12 month appt, it may be something to talk about.  In that case you may want to give him more fruit and less crackers or teething biscuits.  Also, make sure he is getting plenty of "exercise."  I'm not sure if your LO is walking yet, but DS loves going to open gym and playing on all of the equipment.

    Awwwwwww Amy your son is ADORABLE. He has cute cheeks like my son! Thanks for all that info! DS is in daycare and gets tons of exercise/playtime. He's doing everything but walking unassisted. At his 9 mo. wellcheck it showed his height is slowing significantly to 60th percentile and his weight is steady at the 55th.

    DD typically doesn't overeat, she will turn her head or push away the spoon if I'm feeding her, or start throwing food on the floor when she's full. Last week she did overeat (I just thought she was really hungry) and ended up spitting up a bunch, but she usually doesn't do that.
