Sudden fussy eater

My DD 18months has gone from being a good eater to suddenly refusing to eat her meal or only eating a tiny bit and then refusing any more. I used to give her a banana instead rather than send her to bed hungry but dp is worried that we will get a child who only eats bananas so we have started to not offer any alternative. She will ususally eat a good breakfast but get worse as the day goes on. Have tried changing ehr main meal from evening to lunchtime but didnt make any difference. Are we doing the right think or is she too young to understand? Is this typical of her age? Any suggestions how to handle this gratefully accepted.

For anyone thats interested I think she has got her appetite back. Yesterday she age a bowl of soup & loads of bread followed by a fromage frais and half a banana at lunchtime then in the evening she ate three helpings of spag bol, another fromage frais and the rest of the banana!!!
I will be interested to see what she is like over the next few days but guess it was just a phase and I wont worry about it next time it happens.
