When to worry about food?

DD is 17 months. She's always been a good eater - we did a mixture of BLW and spoonfeeding and she would try just about anything. However, in the last month or so she's started rejecting just about everything except fruit, yoghurt, melty puffs and bread (and sometimes she even rejects that). She also won't drink milk - she had a dairy allergy and although she's grown out of that and will have yoghurt and cheese etc she refuses milk. She still has a bottle of formula before bed but usually only around 5oz.

Apparently she eats well at nursery - pretty much everything they put in front of her, and that includes curries, stews etc. Stuff she'd never eat at home. So I feel like I must be doing something wrong. But they don't do anything different to me!

She really eats very little - and I'm very aware that almost everything she does eat is sweet. Help?

It's really common at this age. Both of mine went from eating everything to being very fussy at around 18 months ish, stuff previously enjoyed were all of a sudden completely rejected. I've always just offered the usual food and let them eat it or not eat it. If they totally rejected a meal I would give them some bread or cheese, maybe some fruit before bed. Ds is 5 now and eats normally (usual likes and dislikes but ok), dd is almost 4 and still fussy.
