16 month old suddenly wants to eat ALL day!?
Answer:
right before a growth spurt my children want to do nothing but eat until the belly is full... then they sleep.
from the description you give, it sounds like she is hungry... not over eating. all healthy options. remember the size of a stomach is their fist... go look at hers... doesn't fit much... also remember until recently she did not "burn" as much.. she needs to eat more for the energy and the growing.. as long as they asre healthy foods, let her eat. keep a list for a day or two of amounts etc. if concerned and bring it to your next dr appointment for her.
I think that it sounds prefectly reasonable for a toddler though
Sounds like what happened with my son.
I even called the doctor.
They said he was going through a GROWTH SPURT and (haha) would eat us out of house and home.
It lasted for a few weeks, and went back to his regular schedule.
Sounds like she's hitting a growth spurt. Keep up with the healthy snack options. Some kids become grazers at this age; both of my children sure did!
Yes. She is probably going through a growth spurt and needs the extra food right now. I would give it to her. They say a toddler will only eat if they are hungry. It should settle back into a routine within a few weeks. Good luck
Sounds like a growth spurt. She'll probably go back to her "normal" eating soon. Be careful about the bananas, they (and cheese) can cause constipation.
Yes, my son does this in cycles every few months. It is associated with growth spurts, and he usually sleeps at least an hour more during the day or at night. Although his eating spurts are a little more pronounced than other kids', they usually end after a couple of weeks. If it continues for more than that, or if you notice an unusual level of weight gain, just call the phone nurse at the pediatrician's office.
Start buying larger clothes, she's hit a growth spurt.
If you are really concearned about her caloric intake, give her some fruit but also switch it up with non starch veggies too. Green pepper slices, cucumbers, blanched broccoli, and lettuce leaves were some of my daughters favs.
I think thats normal sometimes they want to eat everything they see and there are days that they would only eat half of their meal. I don't think you should worry if she only eats fruits. if she is eating too much fat food like pizza,chips or things she don't suppose to eat, then you should giver her carrots, broccoli or oranges. my daughter sometimes is like that she would eat 3 or 4 oranges or 2 apples in a row, sometimes she only eats half of her meal. sometimes she would drink lots of milk, other days with one cup is enough.
Sounds to me that you have a typical 16 month old on your hands..(I raised 5 and have a granson) .Let her nibble as long as its healthy,,,and offer water or juice also.By this time next week you will be wondering why she does not want to eat...Children go through growing spurts and she most likely is in one...
oh yeah, lol. Just before growing spurts kids will pack it in for a few days straight. My kids will eat like crazy for a week or so, then a few days later they are up another clothing size, lol. It sounds like she's wanting decent foods so I wouldn't worry too much for now.
i have the same problem with my daughter she wants to do nothing but eat. she will eat her food she will want to eat other people food, then she would want something else. what you have to know is when it is enough. I'll stop giving her food she will cry fall out on the floor and everything else. what I'm i trying to say is rather it's fruit or regular food enough is enough.a child can't be that hungry all the time. stop feeding her everytime she thinks that she is hungry.
