I have recently been seeing toddlers between 1 and 2 years of age who have
fallen off the curve from 6-9 months of age who were soley breast fed until
one year.  They are now below the 5th percentile and have picky eating
habits.  Many will not drink whole milk and some will not takeregular foods
well at all.  I am stuck.  I don't feel I have the right to ask these moms
to stop breatfeeding (which is usually 3-4 times/day)nor do I feel they
should have to,  but how do I get them to eat better?

Thank you in advance
