    I wouldn't worry, my DD is the same. She's having a nap now but by midday she'd eaten two pieces of toast with a glass of milk, a bowl of ravioli, 22 grapes (yes I counted ), a packet of mini rice crackers, calamari and chips, and a sandwich

    If I ate as much as Olivia and Rebecca I would be huge! I assume its pretty normal for growing bodies! If youre feeding them healthy food then it shouldn't matter

    Kell, Darcy eats more than me too. She's been really bad lately but I have noticed her pants are shorter (again ), so I'll put it down to that. But even regularly she eats a lot.

    Mine eat all day too - but more so when they are bored. When they are heavily involved in something, they will not ask for food for an hour or so...
    Maybe experiment...do an activity with her, take her outside, look at the flowers, play hide n seek etc...see in that time span if she asks for food ...more often than not i reckon its just coz they're bored.

    I have always thought DD1 would be at her happiest if I set up a las Vegas style buffet and just kept refreshing it all day.

    Ok so it sounds normal. I mean I know it's normal for them to graze alot, but she just eats and eats! And yes, when she's busy, she doesn't eat so much, but I can't occupy her all day! It's usually when I try to sit down myself, or when I'm feeding DS2 that she's asking for snacks. I will give her her meals, and then in between she will just constantly want more!

    LOL, Little Chicken, I actually thought to do something like that, well kind of! Just put a heap of food in a box for her to munch on all day so I didn't have to always be making stuff for her. I feel like all I do is prepare food!
