Remember that your child's eating habits will change constantly. Children should not go on diets. Instead, they should increase their activity level if they are overweight. Infants and toddlers up to age two need fat in their diets for developing nerve and brain tissues. They should be drinking whole milk.
Children go through normal changes and growth patterns that affect their eating habits.
These swings in behavior can explain many of the difficulties parents have at meal times. Learns to drink from a cup. May cut back to about 2 cups of milk daily. Learns to bring food to mouth with spoon. Likes to feed self but will likely need some help.
