My DD is refusing all food except yoghurt, banana and maybe a little toasted crumpet. She may be teething (won't let me look), and usually feeds okay, but she is quite skinny and can't really afford to lose any weight (still under 20lb) I have cut down her morning milk, and cut out her 3pm milk in an effort to make her eat more. But she cries the minute a spoon with food is near her, unless it contains yoghurt, refuses to feed herself (have tried many finger food, most ends up on floor, especially vegetables). The thing is, I realise she probably can't reason she won't get yoghurt unless she eats savoury food, but do I assume this is a very long phase, and let her live on yoghurt and fruit, or should I persist with savoury food and exclude yoghurt, hoping she will forget about it? Very much at the end of my tether, but know I must not make meal times a battlefield, which they are at the moment.
All help gratefully received!

Do I give in and just feed my 13 month old yoghurt all the time?
