Issue in feeding solids to baby

Question

Asked for Female, 31 Years

I am having several issues regd my 22 months old daughter - after trying for months and giving variety of food choices still she refuses solids . Takes few bites from each meal and leaves the rest - asks for formula milk every hour even during night sleep she asks for milk once or twice - trouble sleeping on her own . We have to pat her to sleep everytime even when she's too tired . -otherwise she's very intelligent and can grap things quickly but whn it comes to food she can't let go off her bottle and accept solids. We are trying for months but she's adamant. Her weight and height are okay and otherwise milestones are fine. Please guide how to approach these problems. Thanks

It's all about how we make the child eat solid food at all cost. To ease our pressure we start giving bottle milk and for babies it becomes habit. Make sure that what ever tantrums child do give solid food other wise growth will slow down
