Eating/Feeding 3 Year Old Not Eating My daughter will be turning three in three more months. For the past week, her appetite just isn't there.

But lately, whenever he gets the chance, he is very rough with his little brother (to the point we have to be with them all the time, just in case). Most have told us that it is be (... more on Rough with Little Brother)
