am I feeding her right?

My DD is almost 13 months old and she doesn't eat much.
I mean she eats frequently, but not large amounts.

For breakfast she had one scrambled egg, half a banana, and a cup of juice.

For lunch she had a piece of grilled chicken with Cesar dressing, a piece of whole wheat toast, and a cup of milk.

And for dinner she's having pasta with steamed veggies.

She snacks in between like; puffs, yogurt, grapes, crackers, ect.

Am I feeding her enough? She's just so small and I worry a bit.

Thats plenty. You have to keep in mind her stomach is the size of a walnut at best.

Sounds great to me.

Sometimes my dd hardly eats anything. Other days she eats heaps.

When they are little they should eat smaller amounts more often

sounds good and healthy to me! (I have an 11 month old)

I never even though about this.
Maybe that's why she eats a little bit but is hungry an hour later, lol.

Yes you are   that's how my 18 month old DD is lol.

Toddlers will eat when they are hungry. Besides they don't really need a lot of food for their body size.

I let DS eat what he wants and when. I do try to make him eat regular meals as well but he is free to snack as he is hungry. Yesterday he at 1 cup of cereal, a spoonful of beans, 4oz of cheese, 1/2 ravioli, 2 pieces of salad and a few pieces of candy throughout the day. So far today he has had about 1/2 cup of cereal but it is getting to be lunchtime so he may eat more.

Liquid wise I offer milk or water and he usually has about 6 cups or so a day.

I try to feed her healthy foods but she does love French fries and ice cream. Lol
My SO says she doesn't eat a lot because I feed her nasty food but he was raised on fast food and I don't want DD to only eat chicken nuggets and Pizza

Oh DD loves meat.

That is exactly my DH as well. Junk food in moderation is ok but not 3 meals a day. DS will choose fruit over junk food 90% of the time though when I give him the choice so I know I am doing something right with him

I was scared to give DD pb  
She snatched a reesse cup out of My hand when she was like 10 months old and crammed it in her mouth before I could even react. Haha
I still haven't given her any since that but on Christmas MIL was feeding her peanut butter balls when I was upstairs

well, if she survived, she's fine. lol I don't like to give it unless it's in something because its so easy to choke on.. its sticky. if you give them a sandwich, it'll be bread and pb all up on the roof of their mouth.. ugh.. I just can't do it. I think my oldest was 2 before I started giving him sandwiches.. now he lives on them lol
