Son cant stop eating.....

Carmina_Piranha_3

It does seem to be mostly boys who have hollow legs - I dread to think what their bodies are doing to require so much fuel :eek:

My eldest has the appetite of a sparrow but my youngest eats much more than I do, especially before the age of 2. Eggs are his thing, he would eat them like Mr Strong if I let him :rolleyes:

He seems to know what his body needs, and he eats a lot just before doing something like growing, or changing. I can't explain it very well, but you know when they are toddlers they seem to do things all of a sudden, like thinking in a different way/asking questions/etc.

Maybe your son is going to start thinking in a more adult way, grow 6 inches or start puberty. eek!

Thing is, its costing me a fortune in food, it really is. Im doing a 'big shop' once a week, and then im still picking up 'bits' every day too....

Buy loads of cheap veg that he can munch on raw that'll take lots of chewing - carrots, turnip, celery.......

My DD (aged 11) is exactly the same, she's 5'8'' tall and stick thin, but can't sit still for 2 minutes and is constantly hungry despite having porridge for b'fast and 2 other good square meals a day. Her jaws are going all the time on raw veggies :rolleyes:.. you wouldn't beleive how much we get through!!
