I think it's the age, cause all my kids have done it. I let them graze as long as they are eating something that has some nutritional value....and if they are also eating regular meals with us.LaShaunnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009778742944881322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-42425371684897952772010-11-10T06:48:26.981-08:002010-11-10T06:48:26.981-08:00I'm still here, every day.

This just means that I read but don't often comment since the "old" hates the internet and other newfangled creations. <br /><br />As for the grazing, sometimes I indulge the "snack all day" requests w things like chicken and green beans for snack or fruit or a compromise meal (veggie stix with meat balls). Overall, I feel like he's not wasting away so a bout of grazing isn't the worst thing in the world.Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283580073759431574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-56746839148022407312010-11-09T16:52:41.263-08:002010-11-09T16:52:41.263-08:00Oh I'm here, dear Whimsy.

Just overwhelmed more than usual. <br /><br />And on the snack front: I used to have strong, strident views on snacking (when Z was a "verging on overweight" toddler according to the peds). Then I was told that my second (then) 12 month old was "dangerously underweight" and I should indulge any and all snacks. Whatev. I now let the girls eat reasonably healthy snacks when they're hungry, up to 1 hour before a meal.clueless but hopeful mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011524864788495788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-79042429270462350202010-11-09T13:50:34.332-08:002010-11-09T13:50:34.332-08:00I don't have any little ones, but I can defini...I don't have any little ones, but I can definitely NOT advise on the issues of snacking, because as I sit here reading your blog (as I do every day, even though I am a lousy commenter), I am chowing down on chips and salsa (albeit, Guiltless Gourmet chips and homemade salsa). So what do I know? But I do know that I am here reading you.

Like apples, oranges, carrots, etc... <br /><br />Then, cut off snack time about an hour or two before any meal time. If they say they are hungry, say "You'll have to wait for lunch."Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156363229916014514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-84772632983187018222010-11-09T11:09:03.822-08:002010-11-09T11:09:03.822-08:00The small ones are grazers.

All minutes. <br /><br />They settle into more normal patterns when they grow and can't be bothered to fix themselves breakfast. I think that's a much more grievous issue, really. <br /><br />In the meanwhile, cheese and strawberries.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560923893875596928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-12659113512047131122010-11-09T10:57:25.051-08:002010-11-09T10:57:25.051-08:00I still read every day!

A very good trait.<br /><br />I agree with Shelly, grazing isn't a big deal. Go with it, and either you'll get used to it (and it will become normal) or eventually she will go 'back' to normal.<br /><br />{{hugs}}Sara Hammondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01549281327688681048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-21648283042065634792010-11-09T10:15:36.952-08:002010-11-09T10:15:36.952-08:00I indulged the grazing.

I made sure she ate a good breakfast, had one snack before lunch, then from lunch on was a grazefest. I read somewhere that they need their big meals early in the day and not to be worried about a lack of interest in a proper dinner. It worked for us and though she's still a grazer, it's to a lesser degree and we have "real" meals now. Go with the flow, baby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
