And he still has a ton of food on his plate/bowl. *Sigh* Feeding a toddler is a lot of work when they eat on their own. Takes forever so it's so hard for me to tell if he's full or not b/c he will play around and then eat some more and then play and then eat, etc... I know, I'm not much help... :\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98564 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:29:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 98564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We feel his belly. For real. If it's round and hard we're like "ok! he's full!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98559 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:20:35 +0000 Andrea 98559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now she talks so will tell me she is done. Before that, she'll usually start throwing food on the floor so then I knew (finger foods). And before finger foods, she always just ate everything until it was gone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98558 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:17:46 +0000 cupcakemama 98558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lips will be clamped shut and LO's head will turn away when the food/spoon comes near. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98404 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:36:59 +0000 pelikila 98404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son will push it away or start feeding it to the dogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98387 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:26:56 +0000 teaberry 98387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now she's old enough to say "no" when I ask if she wants any more food. A couple of months ago, I'd know she was full when she started generously offering her daddy or me bites of her food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98383 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:24:02 +0000 Maysprout 98383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she starts trying to feed the dogs more than feed herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98345 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:53:51 +0000 banana 98345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I would too if it wasn't MY LO! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98344 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:53:42 +0000 heffalump 98344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: @chopsuey119: It's probably comfort nursing. They get to snuggle and cuddle, much more fun than solids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98330 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:46:48 +0000 chopsuey 98330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Weird how they always want milk after, huh? M is the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98327 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:46:04 +0000 Rubies 98327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be full for solids but will want to nurse. If she doesn't want solids anymore, she'll just whine, squirm, or purse her lips. But I *know* she's hungry so moments later I will nurse her and she'll gulp my (her?) milk for 15-20 minutes. When she's full on milk, she'll just unlatch and look around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98326 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:45:46 +0000 regberadaisy 98326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana:<br /> For some reason I find that really cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98324 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:44:10 +0000 banana 98324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'll close his lips really tight when I try to put food in his mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-your-lo-is-full#post-98320 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:39:07 +0000 heffalump 98320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's her bottle she'll bite it.
