If it helps I have no idea how much the Munch eats! I do feed her 3 times a day and have done since she was 7 months, but by that I mean at my breakfast and lunchtime, and about an hour and a half before bed, I put her in the highchair and put food in front of her. I very rarely pay any attention to food going in so couldnt tell you if she eats it other than counting food on the floor afterwards, which I am never going to do! I just sit her there for half an hour ish and then we clean up. Hang in there, and as a good argument I once pointed out to that the quarter of pear she had eaten was the size of her forearm...that soon shut them up!
