16mo suddenly fussy eater

[sarahloula]

My 16 mo has always been a good eater and willing to try everything we put in front of her. However over the last week she has suddenly become very fussy, eating bits of this and that but refusing proper food at meal times. Food she previously loved she is now refusing. Any advice greatly appreciated. Is this normal or should I be worried?

I could be any number of things sarah and I wouldn't worry too much. I'd just keep serving her meals as normal and if she doesn't eat them just presume she's not hungry. Don't substitute for anything else to tempt her, as she'll end up refusing everything but her favourites .

That's good advice, she is certainly more aware of the things she really likes.
