POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. Well, the truth is between the ages of 1 and 5 years old, it's completely normal for a toddler's appetite to slow down. It may seem like your child doesn't eat enough, is never hungry, or won't eat unless you spoon-feed them yourself.It's common for toddlers to eat only very small amounts, to be fussy about what they eat, and to refuse to eat at all. There are a few reasons for this: Toddler appetites vary constantly because of growth spurts and variations in activity. Toddlers aren't growing as fast as babies, so they need less food.Try to eat with them as often as you can. Give small portions and praise your child for eating, even if they only eat a little. If your child rejects the food, do not force them to eat it. Just take the food away without saying anything.Limit mealtime distractions. ...Serve appropriate food portions. ...Don't schedule mealtimes too close to bedtime. ...Eliminate mealtime stress. ...Involve your child in food preparation.
