Does your 1 year old
have full dinners every night? I usually try to cook dinner every night for us. But there are nights where all she will eat is a ton of peas. Or only a ton of potatoes. Is this bad when thats all she wants to have? Like last night for example I made a whole dinner and she pushed everything away except the mashed potatoes - so I let her eat whatever she wanted.
Sometimes all she will want is fruit for dinner .. I get worried that shes not getting enough variety but shes gaining weight well and is well above average in height and weight.

I wouldn't worry. My DD was the same way. As long as she had one full meal a day, like a good lunch it was fine!

Okay cool, thank you ... Her absolute favorite is breakfast. She will eat 2 eggs, whole wheat toast and some kind of fruit. But the rest of the day is hit or miss.

My dd is the same way too! The last 2-3 days she wont eat any meat. Just pasta or fruit. Thats it. So I let her have that for dinner or lunch. Last night she had carrots for dinner then banana.
My dd is great with breakfast as well. 1 Egg, whole wheat toast and yogurt or fruit.

DD is pretty good with breakfast and lunch so I try not to worry about dinner. I do offer just meat first, before the DH and I even sit down so she doesn't see what else there is. Then I'll offer veggies and starch after she hopefully has at least a few bites of meat. Some days she barely has anything or begs for yogurt or a pouch so I'll let her have that.

Re: Does your 1 year old
I just try to make sure she gets a variety of foods throughout the week. so even if all she wants the entire day is dairy then the next day i try to get in a mix of veggies and the next fruit and the next grains. I offer each category each day but if shes picky i just offer it the next day until she has some. i feel like you need to look at the entire week, not just the 1 day or the 1 meal...

My kids good on about 2 meals a day... She eats me out of house and home for breakfast. Pretty much skips lunch, but then will eat decently for dinner so I don't worry. For what I've heard, it's ok and is normal at this age.

Same here!!! Esp when we're trying to get him off the bottle, it throws everything off.

Mine usually does, but I remember hearing/reading a while back that toddlers really only need 2 full meals a day.

Re: Does your 1 year old
Totally varies from day to day. My 16 month old loves fruits and veggies, so those are a given, but unless pasta with butter is involved, everything else is hit or miss. She loves fresh avocado, so I end up giving her half an avocado almost every night. The other night, she had half an avocado and a cheese stick for dinner, and refused to eat pizza. Last night, she confused me and ate two meatballs, but barely touched the egg noodles.

Re: Does your 1 year old
My 16mo is like this. I stopped even making any sort of meat or chicken because she will not touch it. Usually she gets veggies and a pasta or quinoa/rice. I also try to give her some fruit. Apparently she eats meat and chicken and fish at daycare, so I'm not as worried about dinner.

Does your 1 year old
DS is a horrible dinner eater. I know he normally gets a snack at my ILs around 4pm so I am sure that contributes to it but he is getting increasingly picky at dinner time. Last night he had a few strawberries and milk. I try not to stress it too much because I know he eats well during the day at least.

DD eats best in the morning so that's when I give her the most variety.

Re: Does your 1 year old
depends on his mood. yesterday for lunch he would not have anything. He finally ate a yogurt. For dinner he gobbled up pasta w/ butter sauce and 2 meatballs. I try not to stress about it.
