A toddler's eating is erratic and unpredictable but viewed over several days his intake will meet his daily average needs. Therefore, don't worry if on some days he refuses to eat anything, it will be made up for elsewhere. Coping with picky, erratic eating can be exasperating even in light of your intellectual approach to it. To help deal with it, understand your role well and know you have carried it out the best you can. Your job is to offer a wide variety of wholesome foods in a non-pressured supportive setting, on a regular, predictable schedule.
