Feeding
Toddler's may be picky one day and they may gorge the next WHY? Growth during toddler years slows a bit compared to babies. Babies can grow up to 3 inches every 3 months while toddlers grow that much in a year. What to do...Stay calm...kids would rather graze all day than eat 3 full meals....offer 5 mini meals instead, using healthy foods. If they don't eat, don't panic or force feed. Try again at the next meal.
