My 16-month-old is mostly on solids. He poops daily but sometimes seems a bit uncomfortable (I think he could drink more water). He’s also doing surprisingly well with the potty.

When our nanny is here, she asks what to feed him. I’ll give general guidance, but she seems to prefer when I prep everything myself (e.g., fruit + omelette). For context, he likes yogurt, teething crackers, quesadillas, triscuits, etc.

A couple things I’ve noticed:

-He always seems hungrier on the days she’s here.

-She insists on giving him 2% milk, which he doesn’t like.

-She refused to read him a book he was interested in while feeding him because it was “too much going on at once”

This week:

- I suggested rice and chicken → she said rice can worsen constipation, so I changed it → he didn’t eat it.

-Next day I made bean tacos → she said he only ate the tortilla. This morning I gave him the same tacos → he ate everything.

I’m starting to feel like she’s either overcorrecting based on her own opinions or not getting him to eat the same way I do. How would yall address it?
