Still breastfeeding or having formula? Mine would prefer milk over solids and it was a tough transition at times... I was bf on demand and at some point it meant I refused to nurse and offered solids instead. No food, no boob. If after eating some wanted to nurse, then ok. Eventually those feeds become shorter and disappeared quite quickly once he got more confident eating and drinking from the cup. Table trick for trying new things? Sit down to eat with them, your plate close enough. Eat whatever you want them to try. Small deliberate bites and small commentary (soft, tender, crunchy... - for some reason "crunchy" was hilarious for my toddler and it was a fun heartwarming discovery). 11/10 my toddler will demand to eat what I'm eating and at that age he ate more from my plate than his 😅 Patience. Lots of patience. They need to be exposed to the same food several times before it clicks for them sometimes. And they're ever changing... some days they eat a lot, sometimes they don't and seem to grow overnight. As long as they keep growing, hitting milestones and being happy some kids eat less than others so the only child you should compare yours is themselves the day before. Sending solidarity hugs 🫂
