It probably seems like an odd question, as from what I have read from other parents, it seems like most toddlers are picky, and some go on hunger strikes. Our 23mo LO has never really been that picky, and never had a hunger strike. Some days with a low food intake, but nothing we have ever worried about. In the last few weeks he hasn't been as big of a fan of vegetables as he used to be, but he will still have some. My concern is that some mornings he has a huge breakfast (as in 2 pieces of toast plus some fruit, or an equivalent amount of cereal/oatmeal as what I am having plus fruit). So my concern is that he may be sometimes overeating for that meal. He isn't overweight (90th percentile for height, and just above the 75th for weight). I want him to be able follow his body cues, but I am also worried he will start to think it is normal to have such a large meal. He snacks throughout the day, with 2 other meals and 1 snack in his chair. We do tell him that if he is hungry enough to eat, he needs to eat 1 bite of everything offered, but other than that we don't push him to eat. If he only wants 1 bite, that is fine. So, would you/do you ever limit the amount of food they have?
