Hi!
Not that I know anything about 2 year olds (my baby is 5 months old) but I would say that it would be worth checking your daughter's iron level, especially if she is not eating much. Look at her fingernails and pull out the skin under her eye a little to take a look. If she is getting enough iron they should be dark pink. Generally pale skin is a sign as is pale lips. I think the main sign is fatigue though, and it sounds like she doesn't have that! Talk to your doctor or public health nurse about it. And good luck with everything! I hope you start getting some sleep!!
