Ava only takes 3-5 bites of whatever we feed her whether it's baby food or table food. After 3-5 bites she gets upset and refuses it. Is this normal?? I feel like she should be eating more of it. She drinks 24-30 oz. a day.
Thanks

is she at a normal weight?
how often does she eat?

i think its pretty normal if all her health goals are being met.
you have to remember the average toddlers stomach is the size of their little fist.

Her weight is fine. She's 7 1/2 months and weighs 21 lbs. She eats every 3 hours.

I think it's normal, since she's still drinking all that (not that it's a lot, but if I remember correctly that's right what .adriana's pediatrician wanted her drinking a day)

I'm sure once she's a bit older and realizes how much better table foods are she'll want more.

she could possible be teething.

Has she *always* been like this? Or is it just starting?

She use to eat good, then she wasn't. Yesterday and today she ate good. Maybe she just didn't like what I was giving her.
