My 18 month old daughter has been eating less in quantity and variety for some time. Is it possible to give her vitamins if so which ones?

Hello,

One of the first things you need to know is that feeding at this age can be very variable, from day to day, week to week and month to month. It is usually recommended to let the child listen to his or her hunger

Some strategies can be used to ensure that the child eats properly (including establishing a routine of 3 meals and 3 snacks, which also has the benefit of potentially decreasing reflux by decreasing the amount of food in the stomach at a time)

Finally, as far as vitamins are concerned, apart from vitamin D, they are very often not necessary. Your child seems to eat everything and even if they are in small quantities, the vitamins and minerals necessary for his or her proper development are present. Your doctor will help you during routine follow-ups to detect a deficiency if ever there is one
