Fruit is very good for them and it is a great help on bowel movements. As long as they are eating other necessary foods then let them have all the fruit they want.
Although my DS eats lots of fruit I do have to watch it, too much leads to diarrhoea and left entirely to his own devices he would have eat too much fruit and not enough from the other food groups.  I believe in self regulating but I also believe we need to offer the right balance of foods too.

Tink sounds like your LO has a big appetite :)  Some times mine amazes me, I have to design his day to get protein into him as he is not a protein fan, then suddenly he eats almost an entire lamb shank in one sitting!!  Seriously there was about 2 bites and the bones left. We all watched in utter amazement.

lol yeah. Ever seen those boil in the bag lamb shanks in sauce/gravy?  We don't often have pre-prepared food here but it's one of DP's go-to meals if he is cooking and wants it to be a special meal.  I think it's the combo of very soft slow cooked lamb, plus sweet/salty gravy plus it being 'ready food' - there is something about ready food that kids just love isn't there.

I'd love to be able to cook a lamb shank as well as that!
