Hi, i have a question about my little girl she is 2 years old and she hardly eats. what can i do?

Growing and gaining?: Toddlers are notorious for seeming to eat nothing, yet growing and gaining all the while! it's said that if a toddler is exposed to a reasonable variety of foods, they will self-select what they need. They often "graze, " or eat small amounts of food frequently. They may eat more of one food group than another in any given day. See your doctor if your toddler isn't gaining weight - or if losing.

Re-examine the issue: My expectation for feeding at that age is 3-5 good feeding days a month & the rest nibbling or grazing.There interest also shifts to carbohydrates to sustain activity rather than protein to sustain growth. Feed at the table & be sure appetizing food is always available in a for they could sample. As long as the growth rate & activity level are normal, relax.Think balanced week not balanced meal.

Have family meals &: Scheduled snacks at the table, model good eating habits, put a tbsp./ year of age of each healthy food on her plate & don't nudge. Limit milk & milk products to 16/21 oz./day & juice to 0-4 oz./day from an open-mouthed, 2-handled cup with meals. Avoid " grazing" & sipping on sugar-containing liquids ad-lib.
