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.

Fussy/Picky eaters
Fussy eating or picky eating or having trouble to start solids is a part of children's development. Its a way of exploring their environment and asserting their independence. and its also because children's appetite go up and down depending upon their growth and activeness. Few tips like eat variety of food, make meal time a happy and fun activity, start in small proportions, never do force feeding,ignore if fussyness is out of control as giving lot of attention increases it.

Yes this is psychological and usually most of the babies have it. do not worry it will go with time. first feed the solid food and then if baby demands give milk. it is good to be on spoon and bowl feed but it takes time.
