Baby not eating properly
My one year old is not eating solids properly.. we want to keep her more on solids and less on milk but despite giving proper variety of solids multiple times she still needs milk to complete the diet . She cries till she's not given milk even after having food . Can this be something psychological ? And she is refusing cow milk and only likes formula. It's getting difficult to wean her off bottles. We want to keep her less on bottles and start sippy cups and spoon bowl feeds.
