My 15mth old is CONSTANTLY crying for food and the minute i walk in the kitchen she starts dancing b/c she thinks that I am getting her food or drink and when she realizes I am not, she cries, and cries, and cries. We took her to her Dr. and we were told that she must just have a high metabolism and the Dr. finally ran tests to make us feel better. The first round of tests came back with one of her thyroid levels off when she fasted for the test. The second test came back normal but we were told to have her eat this time before the test. This child will eat, and eat, and eat. We limit her to what she has. She is not overweight by any means, but want to teach her to eat healthy and to learn to not overeat. When I say she over eat: tonight she ate 3 slices of Papa John's pizza, m&m's and a glass of milk. (Now we don't feed her like that always- just trying to show my husband she really will eat and not get full). She cried when we told her she had enough. When we sat down to eat, she was crying and begging for our food! Any suggestions on what we can do???? It's like all she thinks about is food!
