you mean rice?

start from 1/5 bowl, 1/4, 1/3, now my son 5 yrs old 1/2 bowl of rice. Still have to add those dishes. In between, must have tea break like biscuits, bread, cereal.

Also have to estimate, if let's say dinner time is 6pm, don't give anything at 4:30pm onwards. This is my way of estimating the meal. So that lunch, dinner can eat more rice and dishes rather than those tit-bits.

My son currently 3yrs old, we gave him around 5 - 6 adult spoons of rice (maybe little more than 1/2 a bowl) before adding ingredients. After adding ingredients, comes near to 1 bowl.
Usually after lunch, he will take nap fm 1pm to 5pm, then will be his dinner. We'll give him some biscult around 8pm and then follow by milk before he sleep for the night around 10pm.
