Doesn't Like eat anything
My daughter is 1 year old but she doesn't eat or drink anything except water, she doesn't drink milk, she doesn't eat any fruits or pulses, whenever she feels hungry, just want to drink breast milk. Till now I used to forcefully feed her everything by making her liquid and forcefully put it in her mouth. But now my daughter is growing up slowly, now it is very difficult to feed her anything, now she vomits if I feed more forcefully. I am very upset please do some help doctor how will she start eat anything.

Don't feed forcefully. She will not eat anything if you force it. They want independence in food at this age. Give her finger foods which he herself can eat. Whenever she is hungry offer her food. Don't offer breast feeding everytime. Stat away from her for few hours and let someone else offer food when she is hungry. What is her weight? This is a temporary phase
