My 16 month old was ebf til 6months, then BLW. She never drank milk from a bottle/cup, and completely refused spoon feeding. She really ate almost nothing however. She was just under the 75th centile until she was 10 months. She started nursery at 10.5months, started eating a little at mealtimes and got bug after bug until she was around 13months. Had her weighed at 12/14 months and she dropped a little between 10 and 12 months (about 200g), and at 14 months had gained that back. As a result she had dropped to just above the 25th centile line. I weighed her again today and she is still the same weight (9.3kg, placing her just on the 25th centile).
She eats tiny portions, limited variety (usually no breakfast, a small lunch and dinner, mostly plain carbs). She breastfeeds at bedtime, once during night, but would happily breastfeed all day if I allowed her. She is running around and seems fairly happy, but I'm concerned at her lack of growth. She is mostly still fitting into 9-12month clothes, which she was also fitting into at 7 months! HV not worried as she hasn't crossed 2 centiles (yet) but seems like it's inevitable at this stage.
Has anyone got any advice? I try to get as many cals into meals and snacks as possible but I just can't force her to eat.
