You see, I am not concerned with quantity. Let him eat however much he
wants. But I want him to eat during meals. Now if that's not a good
thing due to well established reasons, I could let him eat whenever he
wants, but it is not my preference.


It depends on how many meals. His little tummy is too small to just eat
3 times a day. Heck, many nutritionists tell us that WE would be better
off eating smaller amounts more frequently rather than 3 big meals a
day! But for a little one, 5 or 6 meals a day still makes sense: we
just call the extra meals "mid morning snack" and "mid afternoon snack"
and "bedtime snack" . . . (Elevensis, anyone?)
