8 month old decreased appetite

My DD has been refusing breakfast everything she liked before oats, weetabix so I do give her a bottle instead. Lunch time is a struggle but she will eat her fruit and yoghurt. Dinner time another struggle but she does eat. Finger food snacks which she eats by her self and she’s happy esp sweet potato chips. I’m exhausted after each feed now and the mess involved. From eating 3 meals and 3 bottles to 2 meals and 2 bottles.

is anyone else gone through this as well ? And can share any ideas? I’m exhausted

Teething?

How's weight gain? Still following her curve? Nappy output still normal?

I wouldn't worry if those are all ok. Otherwise I'd take the pressure off at meal times, offer but if it isn't accepted then ok don't push it. Meal times at 8m old should be about exploring food, tastes and textures in a safe and positive environment, it should be enjoyable for you and baby. Mess aside, obvs 😂

she’s currently not teething, from what I can see. That’s why I’m baffled ..

i haven’t had her weighed in a about a month. I think I’ll go again this week. Yes she was still on her curve. Nappy output 2 soiled nappies however wet nappy’s not as much. I think I’ll make an appointment with the GP just to make sure she’s okay.
I am noticing she is preferring to eat on her own. I’ll try carrots and brocolli and see how that goes.
