  Hi Tracy! Thankyou for your question and it is fabulous to hear that you are still breastfeeding! Although breastmilk is great and important for a 2 year old, it would be difficult to determine if this is filling her nutritional needs without assessing her diet further. I spoke to one of our Registered Dietitians who suggested that you use the Nutri-eStep tool specific for the 18-35 month old to guide you. I have attached a link to the Nutri-eStep tool for you. Once completed, it will summarize the nutritional areas in which your child is doing well, as well as the areas which could use improvement. It will also provide you with some suggestions on how to overcome these challenges. If you prefer, you can speak to one of our dietitians by calling Health Connections at 905-546-3550. ~ Jennifer www.nutritionscreen.ca
