2 year old portion sizes. I know this might sound totally stupid but i struggle with portion sizes…

I always give my children more than they can finish as some days they're ravenous, that way they decide if they've had enough. I think for a two year old it's not a lot x

Jace is 13 months and has this amount, sometimes he finishes it sometimes he doesn't but I would say to add more and see if your little one eats it or not, some kids just prefer smaller portions anyway so just try and see what happens x

I find it hard as hes so funny with his food atm even with this portion he ate 3 bits of pasta and thats it !!

Maybe try smaller portions and if he's hungry give him more.

He might think it's too much and be put off by it x

Maybe try a smaller plate? Children are a bit fussy sometimes my son would only eat from his divider plate that had everything separate.

Yeah i might try that thanks ladies xx

I would say it looks ok, my daughter is 3 and would probably eat this amount. Pasta is filling.

But she would rather less on her plate, if she has too much and is over faced she struggles, so i always just give her what I know she can manage, rather than too much and her have to leave it / give up with it x

That looks fine but mine would have garlic bread with that as well xxx

Depends to the child. My 3 year old wouldn't eat that amount but my 21 month old would probably eat it all and more xx

Depends on the child and how often they snack. My daughter is almost 3 and would eat slightly less than that but would have a veggie as a side or some garlic bread. On days she has snacked a lot, she just picks at her food and a lot gets wasted.

I've read somewhere that a portion size should be the same size as their fist.

I say it's about right x
