My 18months old daughter is not eating only drinking formula.what can i do to get her to eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basics: The best way to get them to eat is through modeling. Offer to feed her primarily at meal times when others are there enjoying the offering. Make sure at least some items are in a form she can sample. Cut the formula back to 16-20 oz total/d with water for the rest. Hunger/access should help her decide to sample foods. It takes a week or so but she won't starve.
