El's can put alot of fruit away, blueberries, grapes, apple.....and I do limit it and try to vary his snacks and incorporate fruit into meals as too much neat gives him horrendous nappies!!! Strawberries in readybrek is a current hit!

I give Bun as much fruit as he wants LOL. He eats tons! He's always been a fruit monster.

Our son absolutely loves his fruit! And would also finish a whole tub of blueberries if we let him! We do have to restrict him so he doesn't eat a whole tub, but I don't think it can be "bad" as such, just the natural sugars I guess - but they have so much goodness in them that I want to keep encouraging him to eat his fruit. I would hate it if he turned out refusing to eat any fruit!

I wouldn't worry tbh. It's good that she likes fruit. Jessica likes fruit too, especially blueberries, and like your LO, she would eat the whole punnet if I let her! After blueberries though, her nappies are a funny green/black colour....eww!

I worry this too. Gracie has fruit sometimes with every meal. I've cut out on dairy to see if she has an allergy and the only thing I can think to give her for a pudd is fruit! xx

my LO loves fruit and would eat it all day long given the chance. hes always had very lose poos so i have to limit how much i give him simply for the fact he ends up with diarrhea if he has too much fruit. i hate having to limit it as his diet isnt the best so the fruit is our saving grace.

his grandma likes to spoil him with treats when she sees him but to counter act that she then stuffs him with fruit and wonders why he gets diarrhea lol.

Bun has been on a fruit mission today! 1/2pint of blueberries, 1/2 mini-watermelon, 1 banana, bowl of applesauce, and a fruit smoothie and it's only noon!
