Food, Food, Food

[Guest guest]

Anyone have an idea, going crazy here, is constantly demanding

food, he eats all his meals, clean plates and snacks constantly

througout the day, I just cannot fill him up, he is coming at me

constantly, he even cleans up everyone else's plate of leftovers, is

hanging around the cooker when I'm cooking sniffing the air.

Don't think yeast because no behaviours, no itchy bottom or spots and

no gloop, he does get extremely upset if I refuse him though, real

tears, definitely hungry but how can such a small person be this hungry

all of a sudden.

TIA

Hi Vicky

Sounds like he is growing Vicky.

The only thing to slow down his eating is to fill up on Protein

snacks.

Meats / fish etc..

They take much longer to digest than carbohydrates and keep blood

sugar stable for longer.

Some kids get anxious / irritable if they are hungry - blood sugar

low - but they cannot tell you . Like if you need a cigarette or a

cup of coffee.

or even prior to period when you HAVE to have chocolate or cheese.

Have plenty of cooked meats in like chicken / turkey and give him that

as snacks.

Try and give plenty of protein for breakfast.

Even if you have to give him Shepherds pie from the previous evening.

This will fill him up and a snack about 1030 should see him over until

lunch.
