Seriously, my 11 mo old eats an appalling amount of food. I watch and think, "Wow, I'd be full by now." I'm not necessarily worried, just kind of baffled. I'm not sure where he puts it all...
For example, tonight he ate mum mums in the car on the way home. Then he ate some shredded chicken and cheese (maybe less made it into his mouth than I thought), a few peas, puffs, a container of applesauce, part of a graham cracker and a container of yobaby yogurt. Then he had a few ounces of formula before he fell asleep.
This was was after eating all day at day care. I don't have the sheet in front of me (he eats from their menu) but it included yogurt, a pancake, part of a piece of pizza, peas and carrots, graham crackers....more than I ate today I'm pretty sure.
That's a lot, right?
Re: Anyone surprised by how much LO eats??
My daughter eats a lot--especially because she is really little too! She isn't fond of finger foods, but daily she eats about 28 oz of formula, a tiny bowl of cheerios, yogurt, oatmeal and 2-3 jars of food. She also snacks on other things during the day. Today she had toast and a few bites of a waffle as well.
I am amazed because she is tiny--so who knows where the food goes
Yep! Sometimes I wonder if she is eating too much, but she seem sto know when she's done, so I try not to worry about it.
She gets 28 oz of formula a day plus...
8 a.m.- 1/2 piece of toast, 1/2 banana
12 p.m.- 3 oz meat, 2 oz veggie, 2 oz of fruit or a few crackers
4 p.m.- Cheerios, yogurt melts
5:30 p.m.- 3 oz meat, 2 oz veggies, 2 oz of something else (veggie, fruit, rice, pasta etc...)
Those servings are what I offer her. She doesn't eat everything I put in front of her. Like the PP said, once she starts throwing it on the floor, I know she is done.

beta @ 5w0d = 12,026! u/s 4/22/14 @ 8w1d it's twins!
This is our schedule:
6 am nurse
8am 3oz of oatmeal with fruit
9-10am 5 oz of BM from sippy
12pm nurse
12:30pm normally 1/2 pb sandwich, 1/4 fruit, and some cheese cubes or yogurt
2-3pm 5 oz of BM from sippy and 1/2 cup of snacks (yogurt melts, puffs, raisins, etc)
5pm nurse
6pm probably a cups worth of whatever we are having plus cottage cheese
7:30pm nurse
around 3-4 am nurse
I think it is an insane amount of food but she is extremely active. If we are having something that she really likes then she tends to put away more than me.

Chase ate for breakfast today:
7 TBSP of oatmeal mixed with apple carrot juice and a 1/2 container of prunes
whole container of blueberry yogurt
1/2 a stage 3 jar of fruit
whole scrambled egg
piece of cheese
2 mini pancakes
some watermelon
1/2 sippy of milk.
And that was just breakfast....
He cat eat an entire chicken leg, half a sweet potatoe (could probably eat the entire thing but I only give half) and half a jar of puree. It's insane. AND he would eat more if I let him!
