I think my daughter is eating to much?

edited September 2012 in Babies Health
Okay so I'm not sure if this is normal or if I'm just being paranoid, but I think my 13 month daughter might be wanting to eat to much. Every time she see's me or anyone else eating she wants in! It's forcing me to eat super healthy that way she can share the healthy foods with me. Anyone else's kid always want to eat?

    My 12 month old is like that. As soon as he sees someone eating he starts squealing like a little pig! Lol I think it's like one of the main pleasures in his little life...but idk if that's ok or not. All of my kids are a healthy weight though..so I think it's just a phase. Plus, eating grown up food at that age is new & exciting. :)
  • @Wilsomom LOL! Glad my child is not the only one! My daughter is at a healthy weight too but still concerns me. Hopefully it's a growing phase or something.
  • As long as she's eating healthy I would say let her enjoy! :)

  • They are exploring and learning their environment, they are super curious; plus our food is so much yummier than theirs. My LO lets me know when my food is yucky, lol.

  • My daughter is 12 mo. And the same way. She loves food. How much milk does ur lo drink? I've been concerned that my daughter isn't drinking enough milk.
  • @Mama_Kat @MRZ_JACKSON @GATORBOB @BLESSEDTXMOM Glad I'm not alone ladies!!

    @MIJITA That's good! Sometimes I think whole milk yogurt and fruit is so gross and I pray she thinks it's yucky but she doesn't. I still have to eat it because I know it's good for her and she likes whatever I eat.

    @Emy her pediatrician wants me to give her 12ounces a day. 6 in the morning and 6 at night.
  • @emy my daughters pedi said 16-24oz of milk a day.
    She was a little fat baby her 1yr appt, so we are on 2%, but she isn't walking yet either. She likes to try everything, but had specific things she will just eat and eat if we let her. We make sure at least she eats healthy, even if we don't. I think her weight came from the formula though.
  • My 10m is exactly the same! Doesnt matter what it is she loves it all spicy sour sweet WHATEVER. Drives me crazy tho haha sometimes I just dont want to share haha :p
  • My 14.5 month old is a little vulture when he sees me eating. even if hes already eaten he will freak out if he doesnt get any of what im eating. lol but I wouldn't worry..if she's running around, she's burning calories, and needs calories for energy...so she might just want a snack when she see's you eating.
  • My 12 month old is the same! Haha I have to keep him at 16oz of milk a day cause he want to eat everything :D
  • Welcome to the days of eatting ho-hos in the closet and icecream in the bathroom.
  • Thanks @stillsuprised & @monkey_girl my daughter drinks about 16 oz per day so I won't worry. Its hard to go from every 4 hours to 2 or 3 times a day lol, I follow her around trying to get her to drink milk lol.
  • Lol @steph_due_101611 very true I stuff food in my mouth if I hear her coming.
