My almost 3 year old is just starting to show an interest in food. She only weights 23 lbs and is very tiny. It has been hard to get her to eat so I have always only offered her healthy foods, no junk at all. Have always been so relieved whenever she ate that I have not put restrictions on when she eats.She snacks often during the day. I figure this grazing is better than not eating at all. At meal time she prefers to play with her food rather than eat it.She has lots of energy, seldom gets sick ,sleeps all night, one short nap in afternoon. Brain development is good and she seems to be on par with other kids her age so I try not to worry about the little eating she does.
