My 4-year old has an appetite bigger than her tummy can possibly hold. She eats more than me I kid you not. She can also eat more than her 2 sisters.
Here, she had just finished a bowl of fried vermicelli. But she told me that she still felt hungry!! So I made her a sandwich with granny’s homemade strawberry jam with half a slice of cheese. Then she gulped down a cup of fresh coconut water. During recess in school each day, she will wallop both the food that the pre-school provides as well as snacks that I pack for her. With such a ravenous and insatiable appetite, I hope she will not balloon up in just a few months. I still prefer her to be petite 🙂
Though happy to hear that Cassandra has a good appetite, I still feel that overeating at one go isn’t so ideal lest it’ll lead to indigestion. Children sometimes say things which they don’t mean. If an adult cannot stomach so much, neither can a toddler.
Mum, yea we know. My mil and I are now controlling her food intake as we do not want her to be obese, not to mention throw up as a result from overeating.
I will be very happy to see my kid having good appetite, and I don’t mind my kids to have some baby fat and chubby.
