Isn't picky eating normal?It's true that picky eating can be developmentally appropriate for toddlers.

If your child eliminates an entire category of food, has less than 20 foods in their diet, has rigid behaviors around foods (prefers only certain brands or food prepared in a specific way), or if eating becomes stressful for you and your child, it is worthwhile to consult with a feeding specialist.
