I have one year old twins, and I just worry that they are eating too much. They eat three meals a day. Breakfast @ 9 am, nap @ 11 - 12:30, Lunch @ 1 pm, nap @ 3 - 4:30, and Dinner @ 5 pm. I know a lot of people feed their kids three meals and a snack in between, but mine sleep right through the time for a snack. I want to make sure they get enough to eat, so i put a variety of different "finger" foods on their trays and let them go to town. My problem is, they dont stop eating, or at least i have never seen them turn down food. Even when i was feeding them jars of baby food (one stage three jar each), they didnt turn away from the spoon. My son would get upset when i would scrape the jar, because he knew it was empty. I dont give them too much to eat, but how much is enough?
Example meal : 2 Tbs of green beans, 2 Tbs of carrots. 3 Tbs of cheerios, 2 Tbs of cheese stuffed pasta, 3 Tbs of yogurt, and 4 oz milk. The veggies and grains vary every meal, is that enough?
