Child’s Appetite

Healthy eating means eating a various foods (such as protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, and minerals) so that your child gets the nutrients for its normal growth. If your child regularly eats a wide variety of basic foods, he or she will be well-nourished. From birth until about 2 or 3 years old, children have an “internal hunger gauge” that signals how much food they need at a given time. Babies cry to let us know they’re hungry. When they’re full, they stop eating. Children continue this pattern as they grow—they eat as much or as little as their bodies need. But after the age of 2 or 3, this internal hunger gauge is also affected by other things. It is important to get your child to pay attention to the natural signs of hunger from his or her body.

It’s our concern to see our child eat very little at a meal. Children tend to eat the same number of calories every day if they are allowed to eat in response to their internal hunger gauge. One day a child may eat a big breakfast, a big lunch, and hardly any dinner. The next day this same child may eat very little at breakfast but may eat a lot at lunch and dinner.
