My daughter eats like she is starved to death! Seriously, she will eat a bowl of cereal with juice, then an hour later want something else. Today she has had a bowl of cereal, 6 oz cup of yogurt, a bowl of grapes, 2 cookies, and some celery with peanut butter on it! All before 9am when she got up at 6:30! She will probably tell me she is hungry again in a little while and she is only 37 lbs and 4ft tall.

My little one does this a lot too and it's like where are you putting it all? She mostly eats fruit though so I don't worry about it a whole lot.

That is the opposite of my daughter who never eats anything. They say though that they know when they are hungry so I guess either way works!

My step-son is the same way. Consitantly on the go go go and then eats all the time. I claim him to be my little hobbit eating meals in between meals! Sorry I like the Lord of The Rings and it is fitting!

If you're worried you could have your doctor check her out. 37 pounds sounds a little small for a child who is 4 ft. It could be her metabolism is really high; which will serve her well when she reaches puberty.

Little ones often eat more when they are going through a growth spurt, as the body needs more calories. Don't worry about it too much-just give her lots of healthy foods and she'll be fine.
