A. It's common for toddlers, especially active ones, to eat less food, as their growth rate slows down after the first year. At 1 year and 4 months, your daughter may be more interested in exploring her environment and playing than eating, which is typical for this age. While this can be concerning, as long as she is active, hydrated, and growing at a healthy rate, there’s usually no need to worry. To encourage her to eat more, try: Offering smaller, frequent meals instead of large ones. Variety in texture and flavor to keep her engaged (finger foods, soft fruits, vegetables, and small pieces of protein like chicken or tofu). Making meals fun, with shapes, colors, or mixing foods she enjoys. Minimizing distractions (like TV or toys) during mealtime to help her focus on eating. Modeling healthy eating habits by eating together as a family. If her weight or growth is falling behind, or if she seems lethargic or unwell, it would be best to consult a pediatrician for further evaluation.
