Food striking toddler...to give snacks or not to give snacks?

As I recall, young toddlers tastes change and when they do they can get kind of stuck on one thing for awhile. I'd give her the Cheerios and keep offering the normal foods at mealtimes. As long as she's eating healthy otherwise, then I wouldn't make it into a battle. With my daughter, I'd usually offer her options, like Do you want a banana or an apple? That way she was still eating good food AND felt like she had some control over the decision (which is always part of the equation). Hope that helps and good luck.
