Would you let you dc eat...

This is random, I know.

Suppose your dd LOVED apples. You currently have an entire bushel of her favorite apples. She's wants to eat a massive amount of apples everyday (like 4-6 apples daily) but she's still eating her regular food as well.

Is there any reason to NOT let a kid eat that many apples? This has been going on for about 2-3 weeks. FWIW, it doesn't seem to affect her system too much other than turning her into a stinky fart girl. ;-)

    As long as she isn't sick and it's not sending her running to the bathroom (like my childhood Granny Smith obsession) I think it should be ok. I love apples.

    Don't apples have a lot of fiber?  I don't see a problem with it.

    no bc they would OD and never eat apples again.  I do the same thing with foods.  There is a whole host of things I won't eat now b/c I overdid it.  Including spinach pie and chocolate cheesecake :(  (although spinach pie is coming back slowly)

    I'd limit a little bit due to GI issues. Offer cooked apples - it cuts down on the gas :)

    My DS is like that with apples.  Most fruit, actually.  I don't tend to limit it unless he isn't eating anything else.

    Hey belle! long time no see! To answer the ? though, I would allow my DS to choose an Apple during the times when fruits were offered, ( ie, could have 1 at bfast, then snack, etc), but could not have them in addition or in between. I would be too worried he's Eating to eat and not Eating due to hunger, which would lead to tummy ache. mine sometimes doesn't know when to stop.
