Always hungry??

[Elli21]

I just dont get it
My son is 16 months old and he is always hungry...this morning he got up at 5, hes had a few bits of dry cereal (thats the way he likes it) and then a banana, and hes still going back and forth to the fridge bringing stuff out...
I dont think he can be hungry!
But hes like it all the time -- always wanting more! I dont know, maybe hes going through a growth spurt, or just enjoys winding me up by going in the fridge every minute. Or maybe its something else?
Anyone know what this could be?

Could just be the way he is?!! is he really active?

nicole was and still is like this, eating constantly and my only reasoning for it is that she is so active and needs extra food to keep going.

You could always try him with toast and butter. That way if he is eating alot, he's not going to get fat on it. But as Lorrilou's said, if he's active he needs to feed his energy. It feels like Mikey never stops eating too.

Yeah hes always running around and playing etc...hes not still for very long. But im worried that if i let him eat as much as he wants to it will become a habit .. ya know?
