Baby won't eat

Hi I need help !?

My one year old baby will not eat a full meal; she will happily eat apples and chips and other chocolate stuff. But will not eat a full meal or won't have baby food.
I have tried reducing the number of bottles I give her but that hasn't worked.

Is there anything anyone can suggest that might work?
Thank you Smile

What do you mean by a full meal?

Does she have regular, relatively set mealtimes?
Do you all eat together at the table?
How often and when are you giving her apples and chips and chocolate?
How many bottles a day?

Crazy suggestion @KadySingh but maybe instead of reducing the formula (that she needs), eliminate crisps and chocolate (that she doesn't need).

Junk food, even baby junk food, is highly palatable. How do you expect her to accept a carrot, when the alternative is a packet of crips?

Increase the variety . She accepts apple, offer a peat as well. Go a few days without the junk, and offer oven roasted veggies, baby pasta with a lovely sauce, or similar foods.
Have her near you watching you during food prep.
