Breakfast
So am I wrong for being upset that my mother inlaw doesn't brush my daughters teeth. And she gives her whatever she wants.
I don't buy or make unhealthy food for her, but I feel like she's over eating, and it's not food it's the snacks that his mom always gives her.
He just told her yesterday that he stopped giving her everything when she asked if it's okay to say no.
But I think it's more so over doing it with milk because she's still learning hand sign with me, so she thinks the milk sign means that's what she always wants. She's only supposed to have 3 bottles for the day and breast milk at night. I think she's get more than that. And because milk isn't filling her up she wants food on top of that.
I normally give her breakfast around 9:30. And when lunchtime comes around, I give her a squeeze pouch and milk, and she's knocked out.
I feel like I'm being dramatic, but am I?

When I'm home, I only do fruits in the morning with hash browns. She is normally full after, and she eats what we eat for dinner. But with his mom, say my daughter wants food all day.
Oh, is there a chance she's feeding her differently than what you would normally give her? Also with the teeth brushing, I would bring it up if you haven't the importance of brushing her teeth. I'm the same way with my baby, I'd hate for her to have to deal with cavities!
How old is kiddo? Those cherry tomatoes are whole so she is like 4? I don't really understand, what hours of the day does MIL watch your kid? Why do you not know what she's eating? Ask MIL to record it if you want.

Do you think baby is truly still hungry? From the food I see on her tray, those are nutritious things but they're not very fully, the oranges and tomatos are fresh fruits but not much calories. The rice crackers are good "occupying snacks" but are empty calories, and the avocado has healthy fats but it may not be enough. Kids need high fat diets for proper development, if she's still eating or asking for it, she's probably still feeling hungry. When my baby is fully satisfied, she'll refuse to eat any more. Now some kids will keep eating but not typically. Protein is important too but not to be overdone. My baby eats food and is breastfed as well but I offer 3 meals a day and snacks in between. Toddlers graze all day but they need it!
