@smitnlit and @mommyof5kiddos, I'm curious to know what you ended up doing and how things are going now. We're in a similar situation right now with our 2yo daughter who we've adopted from foster care. She's a chubby 31 lbs at 25 months. We're easing into the Division of Responsibilities approach promoted by Ellyn Satter, in which we only provide food at structured meal / snack times and give our daughter as much as she wants. We're finding that our daughter will just keep eating huge amounts. I've read about number of similar situations in which the Satter approach doesn't really work. I'd love to hear from other foster / adoptive parents about what has worked for them.
