I'm hoping this is a phase and not something else. She's 16 months as of yesterday, and she usually loves to eat. Lately I can't get her to eat more than a couple bites at breakfast, then she wants snacks (oranges, chex cereal, raisins, and cranberries) then she refuses lunch, her favorites use to be grilled cheese or pasta, nope not one bite now. She only wants crackers in the afternoon. Dinner is the same way. She drinks her milk and water just fine though. This is super frustrating!!!

Yep. Liv is 19 months and has done this for awhile. Some days she will eat a TON at her meals. Others she grazes all day and refuses meals. It's not often, but she does it occasionally. Se tends to do it when she's getting a tooth or isn't feeling well, but sometimes there is no reason. There's probably not a cause for concern as long as she IS eating. Just keep a wide range of snacks around for those days

Oh yeah, my daughter has always been very up and down. First with nursing, then with food. Some weeks she doesn't want much, others I can barely hand her food fast enough.

Yup this happens with my DDs all the time
It's really frustrating but just try to go with it! Around 15-16 months, my DDs' first molars were coming in, so that might be a factor too? Hope she eats better again soon!
