Food issues?

[lady12]

My almost 9mo eats solids, don't get me wrong but definitely prefers milk. Always wanting a bottle. Has around 7oz every 3-5 hours. Not much of an eater, eats a couple bites then done. Finishes "pouches" from the store often if given. But again, just prefers milk. Does this seem like something I should try and ween her from so many bottles to help? Or is this an instance where "fed is best". She's very healthy just picky. Going on 10 months here in no time I wasn't sure..

‘food before one is just for fun’ - cringe but true. Nutritionally they get all they need from milk and food is about learning and development. It’s a bit like walking.. you don’t expect them to run overnight it takes months of practice figuring it out before they can confidently do it. Relax.. keep offering and it’ll all be grand!

Wow! This is probably one of the best tips I've heard yet. Thank you so much for this. Such a peace of mind! When you put it that way, I couldn't agree more.

@lady12 you’re welcome! Parents put so much unnecessary pressure on themselves - you’re obviously doing a good job asking in the first place! 😊
