Dr. Carla Enriquez answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Typical: It is typical for a two year old to eat inconsistently. If he drinks too much (particularly milk) he will not eat. Be sure to offer meals on a regular basis and limit fluid intake prior to a meal. Do not give snacks or other foods to "compensate" if he doesn't eat well at any given meal. Just go ahead to the next one.
