Hello Irish, still a good news that your toddler is eating veggies  Important to note po to possibly be mindful of the amount of formula milk we are providing, lalo na kung bottle-fed si baby – kasi baka dun na sya nabubusog and mamiss out nya yung ibang nutrients. Being picky eater is quite common among toddlers so it is important to provide options, and provide a variety of food paonti-onti para lumawak din yung tastes options nila and they will be willing to try more types of food.
