Feeding a Toddler

my daughter too 15 months old eat most of the stuff i give her breakfast early in the morning and then around 11 i give her milk or fruit and then her lunch eraly eveing or late afternoon she will ask for milk again and then in the evening she will have some snacks and then dinner in the night. she will get up in the night for milk and take it on her own and sleeps off. i ususal give her home cooked food or raw stuff except for her evening snacks. doc has ask me not to give her juices as it will have lot of calories if needed she asked me to give mydaughter fresh fruit juice. i am also not sure whether its okay or not the doc say she is just below the fatty kid catorgy. though she doesn't even have tummy. and her overall look no one will say she is fat.

My toddler has three meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and he will have one or two drinks between meals and most days he will have a snack between breakfast and lunch (usually a piece of fruit or a biscuit). It seems like you are offering your daughter plenty. My toddler is 20 months and will eat almost anything. Sometimes I will give him just a yoghurt at lunch time and just cereal in the morning but he likes a bit of variety at dinner time. Not too much though. I normally give him basically the same as the rest of us have. We tend to have 3 or 4 different things on a meal so I might give him 3 of the 4 things. I think more than that is too much (unless it's my mums Sunday dinner because she mashes up a few different kinds of veg with some potato and gravy). I try him with boneless fish like tuna and sometimes give him meat but he only seems to like processed meat so he doesn't have it very often! At 15 months, your toddler might be ready to start trying small pieces of fish and meat. They will have days when they "don't like" certain things which they liked before. It isn't that they don't like them, only that they don't really fancy that particular thing but they don't understand the difference, or at least, they can't express that. My 7 year old still changes his mind about what he likes! Just keep giving the foods. Most children will eat whatever is there if they are hungry. As for drinks, my toddler likes hot drinks and would drink tea all day, but I don't think that is something I would recommend introducing if your child prefers water! They still need plenty of milk at that age though so try and get her to have milk with her meals as she will get plenty of water between meals. I think I give my kids a good balance.
