When giving your LO a snack, how much do you give them? I am trying to figure out what is a good amount, without over doing it. I don't worry as much with say cucumbers or strawberries, but more goldfish or pretzels.

If I'm giving crackers I'll give maybe 3 or 4 small ones and then a small handful of sultanas to go along. If we are out I will buy him a slice of banana bread and I don't worry if he eats the whole thing. He's 16 months and eats fairly large meals for his age plus 2 snacks a day.

This is why I love prepackaged servings. More expensive and environmentally wasteful, so I try not to use those at home, but she would just keep asking.

I'll do one of their small bowls and that's it. If they want more they have to have fruit or wait until the next meal time.

@Boogs: we have the take n toss bowls, are they similar in size to that?
-
With things like Goldish I start with 2 tablespoons or 3-4 of something bigger like chips or pretzels.

@Bao: Exactly those!

@Boogs: cool, thank you!
