16 month old refusing dinner

2017-10-24 19:06:59
Hi there I have a 16 month old little girl overall health is great no medical problems not on medication. Recently in the last 2 weeks she's been refusing to eat her lunch (sometimes) and dinner nearly ever night I was wondering if she can go back into baby food to see if she will eat that but unsure on what to do it's getting frustrating now.

Toddler age group is fussy eater. Force feeding to be avoided . If child is hungry he will demand food otherwise leave it . Just keep following your pediatrician for regularly growth monitoring just to ensure inspite of little food she is growing well.
