I know each kid is an individual and amounts they eat in a day can vary. However, I just feel like my baby is always hungry bless him. He’s on the chubbier side which I’m not too concerned about but even if I’ve fed him a full meal the moment he notices anyone else eating or drinking he starts moving his mouth. It’s cute to an extent but I’m a little worried about the future and him appearing like a greedy baby. Does anyone else’s baby do the same?

That's so cute! Just load him up with veggies, he's not going to get too chubby on squash and broccoli. My boy eats a lot too. I just got him a shirt that says pass the snacks. 😀

I'd try now that he's 11 months you can give him 6oz of water daily now, don't quote me but he may also be able to do 8oz I'd just double check with pedi you can call them for that kind of question too 🥰 my daughter is also heavier I guess youd say, 90% for weight & now gaining height at 5 in a few days but she's active & not fat if that makes sense. I've had to watch what we eat etc. No snacks besides PM time if we are home so like 2 or 3pm snack is fine bc she eats breakfast great, lunch & dinner no issue

You control what foods your child has access to but not how much they eat. Trust your baby knows when they are hungry and provide access to a wide variety of nutritious whole foods.

My 10.5 month old just ate more than my nearly 3 year old for dinner and almost as much as my husband. Tons of pasta, corn on cob, oranges and strawberries. He just hammers it away. Like half an orange, several strawberries, 1-2 cups pasta, and 1/4 corn on cob. This is a stark contrast from my daughter who at the same age ate maybe one handful of pasta and one strawberry and one orange slice.

I've looked up online, each month my son turns the next age. Hes 11 months old, too.
I found with my country recommendations, 3 meals a day with 2 snacks a day, too. Around 2-3oz of water, so help them wash it down and for their milk, canada uses ml, so around 750ml of their milk a day. And then slowly introduce 3.25% cows milk, if they're not lactose intolerant, to slowly wean off their milk (whether it be breastmilk or formula, just to say)
My son eats a lot, too, so I kinda understand with my current experience and a lot of people are surprised with how much he likes to eat, too. So, snacks and looking into how much of the portions they need during their meals, too.

Moving his mouth I would say is just him copying the person eating not actually requesting more food.
