I didn't think my neice was going to make it past two. All she would eat was hot dogs, eggs and ketchup. I am sure he will grow out of it.

Toddlers are busy and don't like to take time to set down and eat. If he isn't losing weight, then he is eating enough. Quick finger foods are great snacks for toddlers. Fresh fruits like apple or orange slices are great choices. Try to avoid grapes d/t choking hazards. Baby carrots and dip are popular too because toddlers like to dip their foods. Dry cereal like Cheerios is a good snack also. Especially during summer, children often decrease their food intake. Fluids are very important so make sure your brother is drinking plenty of water while playing outside. Remember, toddlers have little stomachs and it doesn't take much to fill it up. If your brother is losing weight, your parents should take him to the doctor to see why. There are supplements like Pedia Sure that toddlers can drink to provide the nutrients they need.

He may not be hungry.
Make his plate small. Make his meals fun.
He'll eat when he's hungry.
