a portion size is approximatley the size of a fist... so your portion size would be your fist and his portion size would be the size of his fist...]]> Sun, 06 Feb 2011 01:45:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37886&PID=1260137&title=toddler-feeding#1260137 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37886&PID=1260000&title=toddler-feeding#1260000 Author: NovMum

At his age he'll eat when he's hungry, some days that'll seem like heaps others not much at all... If you just make sure its good food then he'll be fine ]]> Sat, 05 Feb 2011 20:05:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37886&PID=1260000&title=toddler-feeding#1260000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37886&PID=1259995&title=toddler-feeding#1259995 Author: MamaT

I cant help with the milk question, but as far as solids go I just let DS let me know what he does and doesn't like and if hes still hungry or had enough. We have always done BLW weaning though, which seems to make you s lot more relaxed when it comes to Food.
As far as eating heaps one day and not much the next, I would say that is completely normal. DS is the same and I know myself some days i'll eat heaps and others im not hungry at all.
I guess what im trying to say is to trust your son.

There's heaps of information (probably too much) on feeding your baby under 1years.
After that it seems like, all they say is less milk, more solids and you're on your own.

How much milk for a 18mth old?
Currenlty he gets 100ml after breakfast & lunch, 200ml after dinner.

How big a portion should I give him?
Sometimes he eats a HUGE meal, other times he just picks. I never know if I'm giving him too much or if it just makes up for the days he doesn't eat much.

I'm overweight and have never had a grip on portion control in my own life and I'm worried I'll get it wrong with him. He's not verbal enough yet to actually tell me if he's hungry or full or eating because he likes it.
