Answer 1

I wish you could give ME some hahaha...

My son is a very picky eater, and it seems like if we go out to eat where there are many other people eating, he does fine - but at home when it's just the three of us, it's almost like he's not interested because there's not enough people to watch.  

Answer 2

I agree with the other post reply. However maybe you could try to make meal times more interesting, re arrange creatively food on the plate, encourage independance, check at day care they may be feeding your toodler to much food close to dinner.  

Answer 3

I read in one of my baby books that it takes a child about fifteen days to become used to the taste of some foods.  I continued to use this idea with my son and he eats just about everything!  Even Soy Beans!  I would just keep trying the same foods with your daughter.  Best wishes!

Answer 4

Kids can be unpredictable eaters at this age. I wouldn't worry as long as she is growing and seems to have normal energy.  

Answer 5

She may be an emerging gourmet. I suggest chef lessons.

Answer 6

She may prefer to eat with a group of peers. It probably has nothing to do with what you cook, more of who shes eating with. I see this problem all of the time within my career (child care provider) and tell parents to try to eat together at the table with the child. At this age, children do more mimicking and are more comfortable with repetition and routine.It's much easier to get them to eat if everyone is doing it. Also, 15 month old's are picky with their food, ask her school about the things she eats well, then try serving those.
