[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 468946, member: 11791"] Chaos - maybe he really IS starving... hard to believe, I know - but he's at a major growth point. He's a BOY, so you're going to see this more often than not, for the next 10 years (so they tell me!) Try this... keep some really healthy but boring stuff around... I usually aim for bananas and carrot sticks. Stuff high in food value, but only tastes good if you're hungry. Hungry within an hour of supper? You can have a banana, some carrot sticks or a glass of milk. (sometimes he gets all three!) My logic with this is... it doesn't "spoil" his supper - its all heathy stuff that just becomes part of supper. Guess what... 9 times out of 10, he takes the healthy stuff. Doesn't even grumble. THAT tells me that he is listening to his own body, and we want him to do that. 1 out of 10... he's stressed and wants extra carbs - in which case, what he really needs is something else (like attention). He's learning how to read his body that way, too. [/QUOTE]
