Hun, I understand you offering her the foods you know she is going to eat, even if it's ships. My DS is now 2, and since birth to around 17-18 months he was an excellent eater. Then he went down hill fast, and he only had a handful of foods he ate/liked. Now his appetite has gone up ever so slightly, but he is still slightly underweight for his age/height (he is above average in height). He weighs 12.2 kg. So for the last 4 or so months, I have been giving his multivitamins and omega 3 to make up what he's not getting in his diet. I also suspect he's low in iron, we'll be having bloods for that soon as he hardly eats meat and green veggies. When he starts eating better, I will stop the vitamins. Try offering your DD more nutritious foods, like carrot sticks, celery sticks dipped in vegimite, crackers and cheese, cottage cheese and avocado mashed up on its own or on bread, lentils, pasta with mashed up veggies etc. My DS is currently obsessed with pizza shapes, I'm only giving him a couple a day as a treat (he'd eat half the box if he could ).
