Do babies know tat they are full? It seems tat my boy keep wanting to eat... i can cook a big portion of porridge n he can finish it all off.. 2 hrs plus later, he saw us eating or saw his biscuits, he cry n wanna eat again.. or after drinking his milk, 1 hr plus later, he can still eat biscuits.. he is not even 1 yr old yet... we r wondering if he ever feels full???

It's a happy problem :) They'll usually keep their mouths shut or just push food away if they're full, they don't starve or overfeed themselves! My son has a big appetite too, but it's great that they're eating well :)

Yes it's normal! they are growing! If aft porridge, 2hrs later, they need to snack! It's good that they are eating! But i would avoid giving them snack immediately aft porridge

Yes. Anyway porridge is not as filling as rice. Depending on how thick ur porridge is. The thinner it is the easier for him to be hungry

Btw at 1 yr old they are supposed to have 3 meals + 2 snacks which is like 5x a day of food

yes yes babies will know they are full! it's normal for them to keep eating. they are growing. let them eat!

My little girl has a huge appetite too. But she knows when she is full
