She will eat if she is hungry. I know that's the generic answer, but I had the same problem with my now 2.5 year old at that age. She is still extremely picky but she will not starve herself. I saw somewhere that to look at a toddler's diet to look at what they eat that week and not that day. After I started doing that, I realized that she will follow a day of light eating with a day of heavy eating. That made me feel better. We also started giving her a gummy vitamin and on days that she didn't eat a lot, we would give her either a Pediasure or some milk with Ovaltine mixed in so that we knew she was getting some kind of nutrition every day.

Quoting emeraldangel2.0:it's normal for toddlers to not have a huge appetite. she'll eat when she's hungry, she's just busy processing all this new stuff she's learning. i had the same problem but now she's eating more.
I agree with the doodle. There's honestly no use stressing over it. I get so upset when my 16 mo won't eat but she's right, she will eat if she's hungry. She won't starve herself.

Will she eat apples dipped in peanut butter?

How about pastas? My 19 month old LOVES pasta, which is GREAT because you can mix in proteins like meat in the pasta sauces. They don't even know they're eating it!

That's great! Peanut butter isn't great to overdose on obviously but it's a much needed protein boost, especially with apples.
Again, don't worry about it, she'll eat when she needs to :)
my little girl does that all the time. remember her stomach is as big as her fist, they get full fast

I'm mostly worried because she will only take a few bites of food each meal, and then a few bites of all my food. I just feel like she's starving. :(
