I feel like all my 1yo does is eat!
Please tell me if I am over feeding DD.
6am: 7oz milk
7am: breakfast ( either yogurt, pancakes, frenchtoast or scrambled egg. Served with fruit)
10am: snack (cheese stick, hard boiled egg, fruit pouch) with 3.5 oz milk
12 pm: lunch (turkey and cheese with crackers, mac and cheese, yogurt and fruit, etc)
2pm: snack with 3.5 oz milk
5pm: dinner (protein with vegetable and starch)
6:30: 7 oz milk
She will go to her high chair and scream and then scarfs down the food and milk like she's starving!
Any advice/tips?
I've tried covsolidating or dropping the 2 mid day bottles and replace with food but she seems to need them.

IMO that's a ton of dairy. My ds is a grazer. He eats all day long. I see nothing wrong with it.
Unless your dd has an issue with weight ( and I would only worry if dr says it) then I would worry about how she eats.

My DD eats similarly. She too will go to her high chair and yell "numanum!" She's down to 2 bottles, morning and night, but she prob takes 18oz total, so not much less than your DD.

Thanks, that makes me feel better. She is in the 75% for weight so I will continue to follow her hunger cues since there's no weight issues. I'll cut down on some of the dairy too.
Maybe she's going through a growth spurt. She just started walking too so I guess that could contribute to her increased hunger.

Re: I feel like all my 1yo does is eat!
Our ped says no more then 20-24 oz of milk per day. We do 9oz in am and 9 in pm. Then breakfast equivalent to 1 waffle, fruit cup and half an egg. They split a grilled cheese for lunch. Split 3 chicken nuggets, veggies and about a 3rd box of Annie's Mac n cheese. They rarely snack Btwn meals. Sometimes they split a nutragrain bar. They just get water all day.
I think they eat more or less. It depends on if they are going through a growth spurt.

The ped also said something like a serving size being 2 tbsp. idk if she meant per item (meat, veg, carb) bc my kids split an adult size bowl of food equivalent to what I eat. Lol But they said as long as they are eating and it's good stuff and they aren't overweight and are growing properly, it's fine

This is similar to what DD does. Same for milk although she maybe eats a little more at meals. Rarely a snack and if anything it's a cereal bar in the morning or a tiny handful of pretzels or goldfish. She gets water throughout the day. I would try bulking up breakfast and lunch a little. DD can do a whole egg, half a waffle or slice of toast, and fruit. At lunch she'll do a whole pbj or half of a pbj with yogurt and fruit. Other days she does a whole open faced grilled cheese or a quesadilla with some fruit. I find that if DD snacks (especially in the afternoon) then she ends up eating much less at the next meal.
