It's actually quite normal for a 1-year, 3-month-old to eat well during the day and not show interest in eating at night. At this age, many children start to get most of their calories during the day and may not need much food at night. Here are a few tips to support this transition:

1. Ensure a Balanced Daytime Diet: Offer a variety of foods during the day, including protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates, to keep her full and satisfied.

2. Offer a Filling Evening Meal: Try to give her a slightly more filling dinner with foods that digest slowly, like whole grains, protein, and vegetables, to keep her satisfied through the night.

3. Establish a Bedtime Routine: A regular bedtime routine can help her relax and get ready for sleep. This will help her rely less on nighttime feeding as a source of comfort.

4. Nighttime Feeding as Comfort: If she wakes up at night, she may just want comfort rather than food. You could try soothing her back to sleep without feeding if she's not showing signs of hunger.

5. Stay Consistent: It’s okay if she doesn’t eat at night as long as she's eating well in the day and growing well.

If she is growing well and shows no signs of discomfort, there's likely no need to worry. However, if you're still concerned, it’s always good to check with her pediatrician for additional guidance.
