Be responsive to your child, if they are a big eater then portions are going to be bigger within reason. All children are different and as long as they are thriving there is no point in comparing what they eat to another child, my boy goes through phases of hardly eating and then all of a sudden always hungry but he’s happy and healthy and that’s all that matters 😄

My son always eats quite a bit for brekkie (handful of fruit,rusk biscuit, small bowl of cereal/slice of toast) he'll then from half 11 onwards snack on his lunch whenever he fancies it (sandwich/pitta/or a homemade fish cake or pea cake, egg on toast that kind of main.).then a handful of fruit, handful of cucumber or pepper, a yogurt, mini cheddars or crackers...he's usually finished this by 2ish and then dinner will be around 4/5 depending if he's napped and it'll be a child's bowl size or a full child plate size of food, sometimes he'll eat it all sometimes he'll pick it, sometimes he'll have desert, sometimes have desert before dinner ..he definitely eats more than a handful per meal if that's what the hv meant but he is a big boy..not overweight but stocky and tall ang gets seriously hangry if it's not ready on time.

My daughter definitely eat mores than the size of my palm 🤣 especially if its pasta or chicken. She is good though in the fact she'll stop eating for a bit and then continue if still hungry, and she also tells us when shes finished

My child eats about 2x the size of my palm but she's a big eater. Everyone is different x
