Yes, a drop in appetite after the first birthday is quite common and often temporary. Toddlers become more selective and may have days where they eat very little. The best approach is to avoid force-feeding or using screens for distraction, as this can create negative mealtime associations. Offer healthy, age-appropriate options, involve them in family meals, and trust that they will eat when hungry. If you are concerned about weight gain or overall health, consult your pediatrician for reassurance.
