Don't worry. Babies go through these phases of eating less. Continue breastfeeding till 2 years of age. Offer a variety of home cooked foods. You can search for recipes on internet. Avoid biscuits and maida and packaged foods as they cause stomach issues. Also they may have colours and additives which are harmful to babies. She will eat what's needed for her growth. So no need to worry. If she is irritable, meet a pediatrician

Hi,
Reduce breast feeding and increase complementary feeds.
Children are pussy eaters.
Change the menu and try different recipes that look colourful too.
