If your child insists on holding his own spoon--leaving her with spaghetti in her hair and smashed banana on her cheeks--congratulations! Self-feeding is an important developmental step for your toddler.

12/16/2011 01:29:56 AM Report Abusemy son is almost 15 months and is pretty active and hitting all milestones.He is a little tall for his age so he will look slimmer but when you pick him up you feel his weight he is solid and 24pounds.So all children grow at different rates you also have to remember their genetic make up. If the parents are slim/heavy alot of times the children are the same.
3/29/2011 04:38:02 PM Report AbuseMy 18 month old is 21 lbs. Skinny is okay, what would the extra meet on her bones do to benefit her? If she is happy, active, and hitting her milestones I would not be very concerned. My girl is such a picky eater and eats like a bird - so I feed high calorie foods like cheese, avacado, soup w/ homemade bone broth, etc. The bone broth is high in nutrients and most toddlers seem to LOVE soup! (you can look up "bone broth/stock" and see the benefits and the ease of making it).
