Focus more on solids: Feed solid food first before presenting liquids or breastfeeding. Remember portion size for solids is 1-2 tablespoons (1 tablespoon per year). ISolid foods should include finger foods and pureed food. Focus less on giving large volumes of liquid. Weight is still within normal limits for age.
