  Holdengirl says: I havent personally had a child fail to thrive - my kids eat anything lol - but a toddler will not let themselves starve, if they get hungry enough they will eat so just make sure you have healthy and filling foods available for them.

  Holdengirl says: How old are they? If they drink breast milk or formula they would be getting a big chunk of what they need from that.
  Maybe you could try muffins - banana/apple/carrot etc that way you can hide the fruit and veg in a treat.

  momi says: hi, have taken them to a gp/paedeatrician? they'll be able to tell you if they're healthy/meeting milestones, and will most likely have tips for getting them to eat.
