DD will not eat meals. She'll have crackers, fruit but only after we try to give her lunch or dinner which is usually making her 2-3 things before we give in and give her crackers, apple ect..

I know he had oatmeal & bananas for breakfast because he was eating when I left. Otherwise I have no idea! I leave it in MIL's capable hands.

Normal toddler eating pattern is one good meal every three days and list of "bites" otherwise. Some may eat more traditional "meals", but as long as they're growing, healthy, and hitting milestones, a hit or miss eating pattern is fine.

YES!!! That is so Cam! Where did you hear that? Do you have a link so that I can take it in to the pediatrician, nutritioninst, endocronologist, gastro........sigh. I can't wait until he is a teenager and eating me out of house and home!

No link, sorry...I actually heard it from his gastro, pedi, and speech therapist (she does his eating stuff). Is he having growth issues or something else going on that worries them? or is it just a quantity issue?

Yep, DS always goes through stages of not eating! Many days he will just "graze".

You have no idea how much better this makes me feel!! I feel like DD hardly eats anything for dinner - I may get two or three bites into her and that's it. She eats the most during lunch and even then it's hit or miss.

Add me to the list! I get soooo frustrated, though I try not to show it. Owen has always been tall and super skinny so I tend to worry that he's not getting enough in him. Currently he is on a veggie strike AND won't eat meat of any kind. I can get him to eat crackers, fruit, and cheese *always* but I worry that it's just not well-rounded enough.

I wouldn't worry too much, but if it makes you feel better, you can buy a green food supplement (whole foods sells a yummy one) that you can add to milk, yogurt, water...tastes like fruit and gives all the nutrients of green foods. We see a holistic doc sometimes and she recommended it.
