My 13-month-old DS2 ALWAYS wants food. He normally gets:

brekky - 2 x weetbix, fruit puree on top, full cream milk
lunch - 1 x sandwhich (minus crus), tub yoghurt (normal size tub) or similar proportion of food
dinner - vegies and meat (mushed up cos that's how he likes it).
(also BF first thing in morning and last thing at night)

In meals between he'll usually have a jar of Heinz vanilla custard (he LOVES the stuff), fruit (watermelon or more fruit puree), cruskits or jatz biscuits. He can eat and eat and eat. In fact he eats twice the amount DS1 (33 months) does .

So (obviously) he eats well at his meal times, yet when he sees someone else with food he gets excited, screams, reaches out for it and puts up a real fuss - verging on a tanty. I joke that he's a "bottomless pit", but I'm really starting to wonder why he always wants more food, even after he's been well fed. If he's not in bed by the time we eat dinner, I even give him steamed carrot sticks, beans etc to keep him happy while we eat! At least he's getting his nutrients

He's tall and is around 11.5kg and is almost 13 months. But DS1 was never like this (he ate well at mealtimes and in between, but never threw a fit when DH and I had food).

My gut tells me it's normal and he's just a growing boy - but like today (after a solid lunch) he chucked a fair tanty when DS1 and I sat down to our lunch - 10 mins after DS2 had finished his. He wasn't at all happy (understatement ) until I put a piece of toast in his hand.

Other than his obsession with having food in his mouth, DS2 seems a healthy, normal little fella. Maybe I'm just reacting like this because DS1 is a mega fussy eater who will barely eat anything on some days!
