I wonder if you could spare some thoughts on the subject. My DD is two and some days she hardly eats anything. She has some good days when she is eating normally and its a joy, but that's like once or twice a week. Today is not a good day again, she had 6-7 spoonfuls of porridge in the morning, one fish finger and a bit of roast potatoe at lunch, few bites of pasta for dinner. Refused all snacks, even her favorite strawberries. Also she clears off all vegetables of her plate before eating. She has a 180ml of milk before bed.
Is this going to last forever , are there any tips and tricks to make her eat. She is a good weight and very happy and active girl. Wonder how she isn't underweight...

You should read 'My Child Won't Eat' it explains well how toddler appetites are very up & down. It helped me totally chill out about my ons eating habits.

I've read (don't ask me where) that it's what a child eats over the course of a week that's important rather than in a day, it evens out. this is an excellent site on the subject Grin
