Anyone else’s toddler still not into food?

My daughter is almost 23 months and is not interested in food. She constantly wants milk and does not care about eating. I’ve spoken to gps and health visitors etc but they said to keep trying and she’s gaining weight so they’re not concerned. She’s always been quite low in weight and her centile is around 25th which has improved from her being 9th but I still really worry about her and feel like I’m failing

My daughter has been like this. She’s 27 months end of this month and is a boob barnacle if she gets her way. I don’t mind as I know breastmilk provides a tonne of nutrients. She does eat, just not very much. But she is getting better so hopefully your little one will be the same.

Partner doesn't make food for the kids.

I feel like I'm carrying all the labor of feeding our child. Baby daddy doesn't understand the struggle. If it were up to him my kid would probably starve or at least be malnutritioned. It's like it doesn't even cross his mind.

95th percentile for weight

My son is in the 95th percentile for weight. He’s 26lbs and idk what that means. His pediatrician really didn’t touch base on it other than to tell me his in the 95th percentile. Do I need to cut back on how much he eats? Like I’m at a loss here.

Note he doesn’t eat bad foods all that much. His diet consists of LOTS of berries, proteins that range from breakfast sausage, to chicken, steak, pork. He has a several servings of veggies a day as well.

The only time he eats “bad” is two times a week we have either pancakes or French toast (home made on both) and snacks he’ll have anything from organic gold fish, to more fruit, to pretzels, to a fruit/veggie pouch, to cheese stick, etc. once a week we have pizza night where I take all the topping off the pizza and give them to him along with a side of some sort of fruit.

I’m just freaking out as my daughter was the complete opposite as my son. He eats 3 meals a day and about 2-3 snacks a day and has milk in the morning.

Send all your tips and or comforting words if you also have a 95th percentile baby.
