1.5 year old breakfast -- enough food?!

Question

He uses those little bowls. But I practically fill it up with oatmeal that he finishes. And then I give him another bowl of plain Cheerios. That's a good amount of food for a meal, right? He definitely has my very high metabolism and his weight is like 3-5 percentile. But he eats a lot... (pictured is the size of the bowl to scale)

Answer

That’s actually a lot for a toddler his age. My girls ate/eat very little as toddlers with my youngest only eating small amounts throughout the day. My pediatricians actually say it’s more unusual for toddlers to eat a lot. You shouldn’t be concerned at all! LOL

Answer

Our pedi said at one year old a serving size is the size of a tablespoon (so a meal would be a tablespoon of meat, tablespoon of veggies, tablespoon of starch).  I’m not sure about 1.5 years but I would guess that’s plenty

Answer

Sounds like my son. We sometimes do oatmeal in the morning and I add peanut butter in with it. Or we’ll do a whole pbj sandwich with fruit on the side. Either one he’ll eat pretty good and he’ll eat the whole container of fruit if I’m turn back to make coffee. He just turned 2.

Answer

Maybe he needs something w more protein so he gets more full? It sounds like a lot of food.

Answer

I would feed him a bigger bowl of oatmeal and maybe put some fruits in it. My daughter ate a full size bowl of oatmeal and fruit when she was that age.

Answer

Just feed him til he’s full. Kids know when to stop. Much better than we do.
