my 17 month old won't eat much, what can I do?

He isnt too picky, he will eat anything, but he will only take a couple bites then refuses Ii, thats if he eats any of it at all. I know children won't starve themselves, but I want to make sure he is well nourished. Could I try those children's ensure drinks? Or does anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks in advance

    Give him vitamins and allow him to eat fresh fruits when he wants.

    You are right, children will not starve themselves. I have been without an appetite at times and no harm done, haven't you?

    There will be a time when you child is in about 8th grade when he will eat everything in sight. Trust me, I have two sons.
