At home, I feed her as healthy as I can. She loves fruit, cheese, yogurt, raisins, noodles with sauce, soup. My mom babysits her during the day while we are at work and I know she gives her a lot of junk food.

I need to talk to my doc about vitamins.  DS1 only regularly eats cheerios, fruit, and corn.  Somedays he likes meat, cheese, and other veggies, and other days he doesn't like any of it.
