18-month-old baby feeding schedule? I wanted to get your opinion before going to the doctor.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

At 18 months, babies are usually fed with three main meals and two snacks per day. Portions are small — roughly a handful (the size of your fist) is generally enough. Food refusal at this age is very common; most of the time it's not about hunger but about seeking independence. Around 500–600 ml of cow's milk daily (full-fat, no more than 2 glasses per day) or breast milk forms a balanced foundation. Putting a small plate of the same food in front of him at the table and offering it without pushing but consistently usually works. If his weight gain is on track and his overall energy is good, skipping one meal is not cause for concern. But if there's appetite loss lasting more than two weeks or a plateau in weight gain, I'd recommend talking to your pediatrician.
