She doesn't eat a lot. I'm happy if she takes a few bites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676487 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:31:24 +0000 californiadreams 1676487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we always give until he stops....or we run out of food. usually it's the former :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676479 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:29:53 +0000 Smurfette 1676479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just give her food till she starts playing with it, picks her plate up. She usually signs more if she wants more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676475 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:27:56 +0000 Pepper 1676475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Glad to help ;)</p> <p>He eats SO much at times... I just worry about overfeeding him to the point of a stomach ache! But it sounds like it's fine to let him keep eating until he's bored. Usually he'll start playing with his food, and I'll end mealtime... but sometimes (like tonight) he just keeps eating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676366 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:33:34 +0000 Bookish 1676366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: Your food threads have been helpful! :grin: </p> <p>So, we basically feed her until she starts throwing food or raising her arms to be taken out of the high chair. Some days that's just a puree and some puffs, other days (like today), it's a puree, yogurt melts, cheerios, and two strawberries. She's pretty good about letting us know when she's done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676363 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:32:53 +0000 .twist. 1676363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man. we are having the same problem! I am following this thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676362 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:32:40 +0000 Applesandbananas 1676362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I follow his cues. Sometimes he eats a huge lunch and small dinner, other days he's really finicky. I keep feeding him until he refuses and his weight gain is fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676361 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:32:30 +0000 Raindrop 1676361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally feed LO till he stops eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676360 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:31:37 +0000 hilsy85 1676360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, I gave food until he was no longer eating, or until he was eating kind of halfheartedly/playing around with it. If he finished something, I would give him more. </p> <p>We rarely have that problem these days :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-portion-size-for-your-lo#post-1676357 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:29:50 +0000 Pepper 1676357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please excuse all of my food related threads recently. I feel so clueless now that he's almost a toddler!</p> <p>I am currently very lucky, because LO eats everything I put in front of him. He cleans his tray every night, though I realize that may change in the coming months! His eagerness to eat makes me wonder if I'm not feeding him enough? Do you feed your toddler until they're no longer interested in eating? Or, do you have a set portion size that you give them for each meal? </p>
