15 month old eating issues

[GiddyTealHelper]

Hi mums!

Worried/concerned dad here - our lo is 15 months old and has recently developed a complete aversion to cooked food or whole foods not in a snack package bit of background she transitioned to solids at 8 months old and up until now she loved it absolutely warfed down home cooked meals and fruit no issues as well as snacking fast forward to now all she will eat is weetabix yogurt, oat/fruit bars and fruit pouches she won’t touch fruit or home cooked meals at all.

She recently had a cold that she’s still getting over a week later - it’s our first so we’re extremely worried about her intake we’re looking for any advice? We’ve taken her to a doctor and keep getting told this is normal.

thank you in advance!

Ok so here are my two questions to help to establish what’s going on.

Firstly, how much milk does she have and which kind?

Secondly, what happens if she refuses a meal?

She has roughly 18oz of big blue milk a day ( two 9oz bottles - big blue milk is by arla and is cows milk fortified with vitamins she needs)

if she doesn’t eat a meal we give her 10 minutes to see if she’ll pick at it by herself then swap it out for something she will eat ie weetabix she still has a bit of stuffy nose maybe that’s it?

It could be the stuffy nose, especially since f this behaviour is new.

It does sound as though she’s having a fair bit over the recommended amount of milk each day though? Could dropping one of the bottles be an option?

Also I would stop the alternatives. DC are very good at regulating how much they eat. Some will eat loirs some days only to appear to live on fresh air on other days. By giving alternatives you’re just teaching her that if she isn’t keen on the look of something she can wait and something much more acceptable will be offered.
