16 month old eating less - movicol?

I'm sure this is fine, but DD is suddenly (now that she is walking) eating rather less than she did. She has days where she eats very well, but others where she really just messes with her food (e.g. lunch today - a couple of tomatoes, a bit of bread, a bite or 2 of pizza, lots and lots of blueberries). She's energetic and seems fine weight-wise (on 25th centile last time we checked). Just leave her to it? This seems also to have coincided with starting her on movicol for constipation - could there be a link? Perhaps she's just now eating slightly more calorie dense foods (crumpet with butter for breakfast)

Btw this probably isn't helped by the fact that we've been on the move a lot lately and her routine has been disrupted/not getting her normal diet

Sounds fine -- she ate a good deal more for lunch today than my 3yo did!

I suppose that it's individual for children just as it is for adults and you just have to go on what they are like generally! thanks
