If you are afraid of confrontation, then just bring it to the mom's attention in a friendly manner. Say "*** is still hungry even after eating all the food that you bring for her, so I'll need you to provide some more food for her." Then just say something like, " I'm sure you don't want **** to be hungry during the day so here are some suggestions of food that will fill her up better." You could print out the information on this link and give it to her: http://www.babycenter.ca/a9149/solid...4-to-36-months. It doesn't matter that she is a nurse. She obviously doesn't know any better and should be given the information.
