is she getting enough??
my daughter is 22mths old and is what ithink a fantastic eater shes not fussy and loves vees, the thing i worry about is that although shes alwasy been a small eater she has a big breakky ( 3weetbix with half a cup sometimes a bit more stewed fruit on top and a peice of toast -just as one example) but the thing i worry about is that thats her best and biggest meal for he day, i offer her morn tea lunch arvo tea and dinner, she just picks and only has a few mouthfull, but in the morn wakes very hungry and gets upset fast is breakfast is not in front of her soon after shes up, am i offering food that she isnt liking, i try to offer new things and things i think she likes but she still eats near to nothing?? is this ok? will she be getting all the right nutrients that he needs from what shes picking at???
i also posted this in a food colum but it got no response so i thought id try it here, hopefully someone can shed me some light lol

re: Is she getting enough
Hi there,
Children go through different phases with eating, just like with anything really. What most people will tell you is that as long as she is happy, healthy and growing she is all good. Keep offering all the good healthy foods that you already are, don't make a fuss if stuff is left but praise her for the food that she has eaten.
Children don't starve themselves, she will eat when she is hungry and in any case we all should be the same and have our main meal in the morning. There is a reason why it is called Breakfast and I think that most of us forget this.
You are doing all the right things.
Hope this helps
