I have a 22 month old little girl, I've been noticing a pattern with her that when she sees found she immeadiately seems to want to throw up. It is really starting to worry me. Apart from doing that, she does want to eat, in the morning she'll have a slice of toast with butter or maybe a yogurt. But thru out the day she really does not want to eat. It really worries me. She should be eating. Is this something normal, do you have any recommendations. Thank you.

You have a challenging problem. I think the most important question in her case is whether or not she is thriving and gaining weight. If she is not thriving, you will need to have her checked by her doctor. Food issues can be a source of real frustration for parents of toddlers.
