How much food is too much food for 10 month old?

Question

My daughter just ate a whole slice of ham and 2 egg yolks, some Cheerios and two strawberries then came at me to nurse! Are we supposed to just let them eat and not worry about how much they’re getting at this age? Or put limits on the amount they eat? And if we’re not putting limits on things, what age should we start if we’re supposed to? She’s a chunky girl, but she’s sitting at around 70-75% for weight for her age. I know she’ll be walking soon and she’ll probably lean out, but won’t her food intake increase then too? 😰

Answer

Just feed her if she’s hungry. I have a CHUNK but she only eats two jars of baby food a day (hates solid food) and nurses. I wouldn’t worry about her weight or how much she’s eats.

Look at those arm rolls 🤣

Answer

Just keep feeding her! She’s growing!

Answer

I don’t limit my little one. She will eat a ton of food one time and hardly anything the next so I just let her regulate herself. She ate solids from 7/8 months and nursed until she was 16 months as well.

Answer

I wouldn’t limit how much she’s eating, I would just make sure she’s eating the right things. You can talk to your pediatrician or even a nutritionist to make sure what she’s eating is good for her. Her percentile isn’t high. And at that age they’re growing like weeds so the calories aren’t an issue.

Answer

Unless your pediatrician says otherwise keep letting them eat how much they want. They are growing everyday all the time so they need what they need.

Answer

let your child decide when she or he is full they will stop once they are full enough

Answer

I've always allowed my daughter to eat as much as she wants or needs. I've never understood moms overthinking that. She's a baby. Babies are consistently growing and need those nutrients. As long as you're not giving her junk food, it's more than okay to let her eat.
