A. It’s common for toddlers to go through phases of picky eating, but it's important to offer a variety of foods to ensure they are getting proper nutrition. For your 18-month-old daughter, try offering small, bite-sized portions of different foods to make meals more fun and manageable. Some nutritious food options include: 1. Fruits: Offer soft, easy-to-eat fruits like mashed bananas, applesauce, or small pieces of soft fruit such as watermelon, avocado, or mango. 2. Vegetables: Steam or roast vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, and spinach. You can also try mashed vegetables or veggie sticks. 3. Proteins: Try giving her small portions of soft scrambled eggs, lentils, beans, cottage cheese, or soft cooked chicken or fish. 4. Whole Grains: Include whole grains such as oatmeal, whole wheat bread, or small pieces of whole grain pasta. 5. Snacks: Whole grain crackers, small pieces of cheese, or homemade muffins can be good snack options. Make meals visually appealing and try offering new foods alongside familiar favorites. Keep mealtimes relaxed and avoid pressure, as this can help create a positive association with food. It’s also essential to offer regular meals and snacks throughout the day. If she continues to have difficulty eating, or if you're concerned about her growth and development, consulting with a pediatrician or a nutritionist can provide additional guidance.
