Just been having a read of 'what your toddler ate today' and now I'm wondering if my lo consumes too much.

Today he has eaten
breakfast - 1 weetabix, bit of crumpet, 2 strawberries
snack - small banana, raisins
lunch - chicken and mango sandwich, he ate about 1/3 slice of breads worth. And 1/3 sausage roll (lunch from Greggs today!), and small yoghurt
snack - 8 blueberries, 1 dried apricot, 4oz cows milk
tea - small portion spag bol, cherry toms, 1/4 slice bread n butter, yoghurt
bed - 10oz bottle
in the night - he has about 5-6oz milk

Thoughts?

I have tried giving him weetabix or porridge about an hour before bed but he still wants all that milk. It seems a lot to me.
 
That doesn't seem too much at all. My eldest was eating a lot more than that at that age - plus he was also having around 30oz of cows milk too.
My youngest eats a lot less than that but she really doesn't have much of an appetite.

It all seems pretty good stuff to me so if your lo isn't starting to put on an excessive amount of weight then just leave it. I wouldn't worry too much about the milk either. Its possible he's thirsty rather than hungry which is why he refuses the snack before bed.
 
Sounds fine to me! If he is healthy and happy then i would definitely stick with what ur doing and its not too much at all =)
