Whole fat greek yogurt with a small bit of jelly mixed in. Maybe ate like 6 pretty big bites. Then a few bites of my DH's cereal. Other days: oatmeal with banana mashed in (sometimes raisin and cinnamon too), frozen waffle with butter/syrup or peanut butter or a scrambled egg. Fruit on the side if she's into it. Sometimes she's super hungry in the mornings and sometimes she eat 3 bites. It really just depends.

A cup of yogurt, a cup of flax granola, an apricot and a few strawberries. Orange juice mixed with water to drink recommended by his pediatrician to help absorb the iron in his vitamin since he was borderline low iron.

A waffle. He suddenly despises the yogurt and banana that normally accompany it.

I'm freaked out that I may not be feeding my toddler enough. He walked to daycare eating a peach. Once we got there I gave him a handful of cheerios. So cheerios and a peach.

My child only wants the same thing every morning: big bowl of Irish oatmeal (we stick in the rice cooker overnight) with banana mushed in. Cup of apple cider.

Oh! And a cheese stick that was requested after eating the above. How she only weighs 20 lbs is beyond me.
Really? That's not much food (unless she eats a lot more later in the day). My 2.5 year old is in a hungry phase. He ate the following:
5 oz milk, 1 scrambled egg plus a few pieces of my egg, 3 vegetable/fruit pouches, 1 piece of toast with a bit of almond butter. He tends to eat a ton at breakfast and lunch and skimp on dinner.
NP here. That's an insane amount, is he just high on the percentiles?
He's tall -- 90% I think at his 2 year old visit -- but about 50th percentile for weight. Extremely active, but they all are at this age. And, like I said, he packs in the calories early in the day and then eats very little at dinner. Also we only do one snack, in the morning, so he eats 4 times a day rather than 5 like some kids do.

A Nutrigrain bar, orange juice and gogurt. I despise breakfast, and so does my kid.

Can I ask what your ped's rationale was? I have never encountered this in practice (a child who doesn't eat falling off the growth chart and no concerns being raised...)
He eats dinner. We put him in front of the TV and shovel food into his mouth (but only pasta and rice because that's all he likes). We insisted that the doctor do blood work to see if anything is wrong. He was found to be anemic so we give him iron every day. The iron makes him constipated so we also give him laxatives. I was thinking of consulting a dietician but the inital consult is $300 out of pocket.
I think the doctor's rational is that he's always been small. He fell off the growth chart at 6 months but we were able to bring him back up by 9 months. It's dipped again and apparently that's his growth pattern.
PP, if I were you I'd call Birth to Three for a feeding evaluation. He might need feeding therapy.
We've been there and DS is doing much better. Pediatrician didn't know sh!t about feeding issues.
I heard feeding therapy is where they force-feed the child. Is that true?
