How much does your one year old eat for breakfast?
(Or any meal). My 12 month old DD is quite the eater! I swear she eats as much as I do. She's been eating about 1/2 cup of regular oatmeal (which is more like a cup when cooked) mixed with some pureed fruit and 1/2 a banana (which she eats separately by herself). She'd eat the other half if I gave it to her. Yesterday, she ended up eating a whole pear along with oatmeal mixed with some milk.
She just finished this meal and she's looking for more! She BFs about 1-1 1/2 hours before breakfast.
Breakfast seems to be her biggest meal, but she's still a big eater for lunch and dinner.
Is this okay? I don't want to overfeed her, but I'm taking her cues.
She's a big baby. She's been in the 95th percentile for weight and 90th for height since birth.

Thanks. The puree mix I put in oatmeal has apples and other fruits in it, so I'm not sure if I should add additional fruit on top of that and the fruit she eats as FF. Today she had about 4 oz of that. I'm thinking maybe she needs more protein in this meal? She has a slight milk sensitivity and can't seem to handle yogurt or cheese, in addition to milk (gets a diaper rash if she has too much), so as per her doctor, I've only been doing milk with her (which she gets with lunch and late afternoon and BFs twice a day).

Re: How much does your one year old eat for breakfast?
As long as she's eating well-ballanced meals, I wouldn't worry. DD eats a lot but is also really, really active so it evens out. I try to give her options and take cues from her. Today for breakfast, she ate a whole bowl of fruit, half a mini bagel with some light cream cheese and a few slices of ham that my mom cooked.

My dd eats either 3 mini pancakes and a yogurt OR 3 french toast sticks and a yogurt OR a piece of whole grain toast with a yogurt. Thats basically her 3 meals that she eats for breakfast lol. Once in a while I can get her to eat some scrambled egg

Re: How much does your one year old eat for breakfast?
Sounds okay to me! My DD eats the same for breakfast - 1/2 cup (before cooking) of oatmeal with pureed fruit, plus more fresh fruit on the side or mixed in. And often enough she wants more afterward. It's always a big meal at our house. Lunch is sometimes big (depending on her mood and what's being served) and dinner is her smallest.
My DD is (and always has been) on the small side, but can really pack it in.

1 waffle and 1/2 banana
1 egg with a bowl applesauce
1 bowl of farina with applesauce
He makes it very clear when he is done, so I just feed him until he pushes the food away.
