If she is eating her meals...and really eats them!(alot of kids at that age don't so, some parents may offer their children more meals or snacks in a day. You...imo are teaching your daughter how to eat properly...3 meals a day is all a person needs. If she is growing and following her growth chart. Stick with what you are doing!
 
I asked a question earlier today and mentioned that my little one eats 3 meal per day and one person stressed that a one year old should be eating more meals than that.....soooooooo having said that I am now worrying that my baby isn't eating enough.

She has four 6 oz. cups of whole milk per day and 3 well rounded meals (all the food groups).

Please tell me if this is wrong and if she should be eating more. She never acts real hungry or into her meals like she's starving or anything... she does eat but not like a ton.

Also...she is not really into snacks in between meals. Sometimes she will have a bite or two of a cracker or a couple bites of yogurt but usually she will turn her head....no she is not skinny and she does gain weight.
Oh what a relief to hear all this! Thanks ladies....I was seriously concerned... I'm just a worry wort I guess...lol
