Her weight is just under the 25th percentile for her age which is normal. It is frustrating when your child loses interest in food. To ‘broaden her tastes’ is to engage her in the kitchen more. Children love to be a part of making food. Have her help you with preparation of food and setting the table. Hopefully this will increase her interest in other types of food. Help her make milkshakes (ice cream, fresh fruit or frozen fruit, and milk blended) which will provide additional calories, protein, and vitamins and minerals. Recommend giving her the milkshakes at meals and snacks instead of milk. The most important thing is to RELAX. You do not want mealtimes to be a battle of the wits between your child and you. Remember meals need to be joyous for you and him. Do not force a child to eat and give them the foods they like. Slowly introduce new foods, and if she does not want it, do not make a fuss over it. Let it go and enjoy the meal. Hoped that helped you.
