Ok,challenges in feeding under five are mainly behavioral problems which are demanding modification of parent / caregivers behavior . You can’t change overnite but need guidance for a few days to modify your self . No baby needs a bottle and 2 yr is surely an age to eat with latori spoon normal food. Give him something interesting to eat rather than getting into arguments & struggle by being authoritative & punishments. First convince yourself that by not giving him that bottle milk you are not depriving him of nutrition even if he doesn’t eat anything else . This will break the cycle , after few days of tantrums he will understand that food cannot be used to seek attention. Give him security by being loving in your actions & not being harsh in your language .enough for today . Every day counseling for a few days can make a change!

It's normal toddler behavior but you need to put efforts for changing it. It will be a gradual process for a child.You yourself need motivation and hence councelling helps. You have done great job till now. Just need few changes which can be done in gradual manner. Consult Pediatrician for proper councelling coz it helps in moving forward.
