Endless Hunger

Kieran wants food all the time. He grunts in between spoonfuls because apparently he cannot wait 2 seconds between bites. We introduced some chicken the other day - we were hoping that some added protein might help Kieran feel full. Durban kicked it into high gear. He was always willing to take a baby biscuit or other baby food if it fell on the floor. However, when he smells the chicken, he really has no pride. He'll stoop to anything to get some. He licks the bib, Kieran's hands and is just waiting for the moment when we leave the baby food unattended.

I think that I read somewhere that endless hunger is sometimes a coping or defense mechanism in babies who perceive a great change as possibly life threatening. It could be that your little guy's hunger will subside as he settles in and sees that you will in fact always be there and will see to his needs.
