A member asked:

My 18 month old daughter will not eat any food at all,just drinks her formula all day. when given any little food,cries until she vomits the little she has eaten. by little i mean pea sized food?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Make it her idea: I would make sure she feeds only with you while you eat, with foods available in front of you both that she can easily ask for and consume. I would plan to gradually reduce the amount of formula you prepare by an ounce or 2/day so change is gradual. As she watches others enjoy food & has a gradual urge to eat more she may break this cycle. The formula is taking away her need.
