I am not sure what is going on as he is eating for England at the moment and has been for about a week! I thought he was playing catch up as he had a sickness bug and barely ate for about a week but that was 2 weeks ago.

Today's food:

B (7am)- cereal, strawberries and a little pot of yogurt (he has just started to ask for yogurt instead of milk in the morning so I have gone with it).
S (9am)- Little box of yogurt raisins
S (10:30am)- bag of banana flavour Ella's Kitchen biscuits and a pot of grapes.
S (11:15am)- bag of mini cheddars, a carrot and orange Ella's Kitchen bar, 1/2 a satsuma
L (12:30pm)- ham sandwich, blueberries, yogurt tube, and because he asked for more food he also had a squeezy fruit.
S (4pm)- Urban Fruit Strawberries and 2 mini bread sticks.
D (5:45pm)- chicken noodle stir fry and a squeezy yogurt.
He then had a beaker of milk before bed.

That is so much food, more than I have eaten today! He normally has cereal and fruit for breakfast, a mid morning snack of fruit and something savoury, lunch will be a sandwich/potato, some fruit and a savoury thing, afternoon snack will be fruit and something savoury then dinner will be whatever I have made that day and then he has a beaker of milk before bed. I don't even mention food to him, he just asks for it, then goes to the cupboard and gets a bowl. He also stops eating when he has had enough. Could it be a massive growth spurt?

Grace does this sometimes...eats more than I do! It worries me a little because I think she is a bit overweight due to being slow to get 'moving' (crawled at 15 months and walked at 23 months)... but, in reality, it must be a growth spurt. Growth spurts can come around times of 'mental' development too- when the brain is making lots of new connections... so the last thing I want to do is deprive her. I just try to make sure I'm offering her a healthy diet. Grace's ravenous periods tend to last 3 or 4 days. She'll also have 3 to 4 days in a row of barely eating anything at all sometimes. I just tend to go with the flow!

Yesterday...

Breakfast: Half a pitta bread with marmite; grapes
Lunch: Tomato and basil soup with wholemeal bread and butter; natural yogurt
Snack: Some of her chocolate Easter bunny!
Dinner: Cheese and onion pasty with baked beans; apple, pear, raisin and cinnamon puree

I've been worrying about Aggies food intake for a while now, she was 10 weeks prem and had milk allergies aswell as silent reflux and GERD so food has always been an issue, she started refusing bottles at 8 month old but this was too early due to her corrected age so that's when the battle began, 12 months ago, now she is 18month old, 9months corrected, just started cruising and I am in a fully fledged battle with food, she will only eat, beans, spaghetti hoops, jam sandwiches and custard creams, I was naughty the other day and I had some fish and chips, a very rare treat and I gave her some chips ( I know, bad mummy) but she ate every single one I gave her!! So here's my question, looking at what your babies are eating, Aggie is only meeting maybe a quarter of that a day so should I give her other foods such as chips and things? I've been trying to steer her away from fatty stuff but I seriously need my little girl to gain some weight, she's tall and bony! Could do with some sort of supplement shake or something to fatten her up lol, she's always so cranky because she's hungry but won't eat what I give her, any advice would be great!

If you're worried about 'junk' food you could make your own? Homemade chips, burgers, fish fingers. That way you know exactly what is going in her food. My boy loves homemade chips, even though I don't do them regularly x
