He eats whatever I put in his mouth. Once in a while, he'll spit out something that has a weird texture (like cauliflower) but for the most part he'll eat 90% of what I put in front of him. He's a big porker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85985 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:40:45 +0000 Red 85985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was a great eater until about 2 months ago. She's still not a bad eater, but she's a bit pickier with what she likes to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85975 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:27:51 +0000 Sha 85975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine is very similar to Mrs. Wagon's....he used to be an amazing eater and sometimes still is but he is going through a picky/independent phase where he wants more control of things, so sometimes he rejects foods we know he likes, or insists on not getting into his highchair, or feeding himself. but when he's on his a-game his eating abilities are quite amazing - we went to brazilian bbq once and he ate more than all of the adults at the table - it was pretty impressive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85974 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:22:42 +0000 anewme 85974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha! Mt champion eater nephew is a horrible sleeper too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85831 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:06:18 +0000 LivsMama 85831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liv is a champion eater. We havent put anything in front of her that she hasnt eaten and loved - except purees. Ever since we went to BLW, she eats anything and everything. Makes it easy on us! Last night for dinner she had baked chicken (no skin,) quinoa patties (SO GOOD if you want the recipe!,) steamed baby carrots, beets, and broccoli. For dessert she had some baked apple and peach with cinnamon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85821 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:59:32 +0000 chopsuey 85821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's a GREAT eater SOMETIMES. I think she just knows what she likes. I nurse her a lot so she definitely eats better when she's hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85816 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:54:17 +0000 looch 85816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a champion eater. The amount of food my son puts away is astounding. </p> <p>He's 14 months, and I haven't done anything special. He's a crap sleeper, maybe that is why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85805 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:36:49 +0000 Lozza 85805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Yeah, I'm jealous of Charlie's lunch too!<br /> By most standards, LO is a good eater, but it doesn't mean that we don't still get frustrated when he refuses stuff that he normally likes just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85799 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:32:45 +0000 Andrea 85799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my LO is a good eater. She went through a brief phase when she was picky but for the most part she eats everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85782 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:22:59 +0000 Rubies 85782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Based on the bento pictures of Charlie's lunch, *I* would love to eat his food! So fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85766 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:11:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 85766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie is a bad eater. it stresses my mom out so much every time she visits because she can't believe what a bad eater he is. the reason it's hard is because he'll refuse foods that he likes regularly.</p> <p>there are a couple kids in charlie's daycare who are great eaters. they love to eat his lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85759 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 10:02:45 +0000 heffalump 85759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's a pretty good eater. I don't give her too much yet though, she's only 7 months old. She'll have an ice cube's size food (My ice cube tray makes pretty big cubes though) for breakfast and dinner. She'll usually eat it all no problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85735 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 09:29:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 85735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RJ used to be an amazing eater. And apparently at daycare he's still a great eater. When we feed him foods we know he likes, he'll eat a ton. But we usually have to feed him-- if he is left to his own devices and he's not that into it, he barely eats at all. But then sometimes he stuffs his face-- last night it was towards the end of his meal and he had a plate full of cold pasta left, and we turned our backs and when we turned back towards him, he had stuffed probably about 1/2 cup of pasta into his mouth all at once and was chewing for like 10 minutes straight. Haha. </p> <p>He did go through about a 2 month picky phase where he just lived on yogurt, cheese, and scrambled eggs. I thought I was going to go nuts because he used to eat EVERYTHING. We used to go to b.good (a local "healthy" burger place) and he would eat turkey burger, sweet potato fries, and the whole wheat bun... and now all he will eat there is a hot dog. </p> <p>But I can't complain... he eats a TON if we give him the right things and present it in the right way. Some nights when I make pasta and turkey meatballs, he'll eat a plate the same size as mine! 2 meatballs and tons of pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-actually-have-a-greater-eater#post-85733 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 09:17:52 +0000 anewme 85733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All this gripe about babies who are terrible eaters! But are there actually any champion eaters in the house!! I thought these<br /> Great eaters were a myth until my nephew started<br /> Solids. I could watch him eat all day because he is such a great eater! But it makes me sad when I see him and my LO together cause she is such a bad eater! This girl just kills me! </p>
