What's portion size should I be giving my 18month she's slightly above weight only just but only been.walk-in around 6 weeks. But she eats and eats and eats she loves her food

She doesn't have baby food she eats the same food us. She is starting to tell me when she's had enough but for things Sheffield loves like pasta or casserole she will just eat and eat and eat and still eat like something for afters like yogurt or custard

The link above indicates size of portions for a toddler under 3. You mentioned custard, a portion of custard would be 3-6 tablespoons.

I was quite surprised at what the recommended portion sizes were. I was expecting AJ to eat a lot more than the 'average' portion for some things and he was eating double portions of other things!
I played around with the tot it up calculator too, although I wouldn't take it to heart what it says we all know toddler can eat huge amounts one day/week and less the next.

Hope it helps.

P.s I wouldnt worry too much about her weight, she'll be running around in no time and weight gain starts to slow as they get older too. x
