Small eatter

I try to buy healthier snacks and snack alternatives. My daughter loves fruit so it helps, but I also buy solely fruit snacks since they’re only 1 or 2 ingredients, tried Annie’s cheese crackers instead of cheezits, I get Stonyfield yogurt pouches with the fruit and veggies. Oh and she also likes the Kidfresh chicken nuggets with the puréed cauliflower. I don’t stress about what she eats anymore, but rather IF she eats. I’d lose all my hair if I continued to stress about what she ate.

I’ve also learned to just keep putting something in front of her and she’ll eventually pick it up

Fruit is usually not an issue. She loves it. Yogurt is not her thing and the stoneyfield has way more sugar than we like per serving(my health nut husband's one ask is that we watch sugar intake). But ill have to look into the kid fresh nuggets!

My little girl eats small too so I try to serve her the protein and nutrient rich foods first and give her fruit and puffs after (if I serve them with her other food she'll only eat the fruit or puffs). I sneak in healthy fats by tossing stuff in coconut oil. My girl loves edamame, toast, steamed broccoli or roasted veg dipped in hummus, beans, and shredded roast beef tossed in coconut oil. She loves these puffs as a snack or dessert: Baby Gourmet Organic Puffies Strawberry Beet, Organic Quinoa & Lentil puff Snacks - 42 g https://www.walmart.ca/ip/6000197432691

Smoothies are a good way to sneak in extra nutrition. You can make them at home and use berries and whole fruit, which are better for blood sugar because they have the fibre, plus you can add yogurt, nut butter, hemp seeds for protein, chia, spinach, kale, carrots, other vegetables; I have even been known to throw in lettuce a couple of times. I make one a day and split it into two reusable food pouches and we have one in the morning and one in the afternoon as a snack.

Mine is the same because she is breastfeeding quite frequently so I’m trying to reduce breastfeeding feeds so that she has a better appetite
