eating too much?

So DD eats all the time!  We feel very blessed to have such a great eater and count our blessings with it!  However, I'm starting to feel like she's eating all.the.time. She eats great at meals, so you would think she wouldn't be too hungry in between meals, but she is. She snacks quite a bit...fruit, veggies, crackers, cheese, etc. Anyone elses LO do this?  I'm not complaining, that's for sure, but I'm not sure snacking is the best, but like I said she eats a lot at meals, so I feel like she's getting enough there.  Just wanted to run it by some of you ladies. Thank you!!

Re: eating too much?

  • If she's eating well at meal time I wouldn't worry. How many snacks a day does she have?

  • D is the same way. I'm so thankful our daycare provides breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day, or else I'd be selling my car to feed that kid. He eats pretty much non-stop all day long. Even the daycare girls have remarked on it. They don't even bother mentioning how he's eaten anymore, unless he eats less than 2 servings of his lunch, and then it's to tell us how "little" he ate!

     The funny thing is, He's only like, 30th percentile. He's compact, and not fat, but a solid little guy. There's barely any pudge on him, considering how often he's shoving food in his face. I wouldn't worry about it, unless she's eating so much she pukes frequently.

  • DD is the same.  Never thought I would miss formula but when I spend all day feeding her I really miss the 3 meals and bottles.

  • Thank you, ladies!  Sounds like others are just the same!  She has never puked and has always been between the 40th and 50th percentile for weight. Just wanted to make sure she wasn't the only one. Thanks again!  And like I said, I'm counting our blessings she does eat so well.  Have a great rest of the weekend, everyone!

  • See my post below. Lol DS is a pretty big boy.  He's like 95% in height and 75% in weight.  And he's lost much of his baby chub in the past few months with the exception of his cheeks. I think since they are constantly on the go now, on top of growing like weeds, some of them just tend to eat a lot.  As pps mentioned, I would worry unless she vomits.
