My baby is 18 months, and she recently started crying for food. It has nothing to do with hunger--it has to do with when she sees food she wants it. We can happily be playing, and the second I go into the kitchen to prepare a meal (whether she has eaten or not), she starts hysterical crying and will not stop until she gets to eat more. Suggestions?

You need to resist giving in to her unless you want an obese child. If she is eating decent meals already she doesn't need more. You can of course offer her some fruit or raw vegetables. They won't do too much harm.

Resist too many snacks between meals or otherwise your daughter won't eat her meals. I think the fresh fruit and vegie idea is a good one.
My son is going through some kind of growth spurt, and I swear he's eating us out of house and home. I try to always give my kids healthy snacks that will satisfy them. Good luck!

eating seems to be the natural thing for kids to do these days.I JUST LET MY KIDS EAT WHEN THEY LIKE BUT I ONLY GIVE THEM PORTIONS,NOT AS MUCH AS THEY WANT.
