My 15mo dd is pretty much eating whatever we eat now. Well - yesterday she tried and now LOVES Raisinetes. I am just wondering - is she still in that baby mode where she will eat until she is content OR does she need to be stopped?? I cut her off from the Raisinettes after what I thought was enough - but all she did was holler like a banchee!

Just wondering...

Babies are smarted than we are in the eating department. They actually stop when they are full, lol! You are very lucky to have a child that doesn't limit herself to goldfish and pediasure. I say, let her go!

So I HAVE to share MORE of my Raisinettes! hee hee

I wonder when they actually 'learn' to over indulge. I let her eat till she is full with all the good healthy stuff - just not sure on the junk food.

Thanks for the input!

my 17 mo old son loves the yogurt covered raisins but i try not to let him eat too many because they come out looking the same as they did going in. i dont know if hes not chewing them good enough or if its one of those foods that doesnt digest good.

As hard as it is to believe even at that young an age they will eat until full and then stop. I just want to give you a heads up though I would be caustious of feeding a child of tha age Raisinettes if I was not watching them the whole time as they could choke.

I hear you! Noah will hit 15 months in about two weeks and he knows the "good" stuff too. He loves chocolate, ice cream, cookies . . . I really have to limit how much of that kind of stuff he eats because he'll eat it all day long. I haven't tried Raisinettes with him, though. I bet he'd love them.

You should just let her eat whatever she wants. LOL.. that's what I basically do with Bailey. Well... alright, maybe we spoil him too much, but I'm just happy he's eating, rather its just a cookie or snack, at least he's eating. There are days when he doesn't eat, then I get all worried and sad. Hahaha...

BTW, did you get my email???

Hi! Yes - I did and was just about to reply. Had new years company until late this afternoon. PP just went to bed so I am enjoying vegging in front of the computer and 'window' shopping on-line. ha!

Replying to your email now!
