Almost 14 months and barely eating solids—please tell me this gets better
My baby is almost 14 months old, and she’s never been a great eater. She was formula-fed, and we’re actually still having a really hard time transitioning her to whole milk, so she’s still drinking about 15 oz of formula a day.
The bigger issue is solids. She eats almost nothing besides yogurt and baby snacks like puffs or melts. If she takes 3 bites of a cheese quesadilla, that’s considered a really good meal. We’ve tried so many different foods, but she usually refuses them or barely takes a bite.
The only reassuring thing is that she’s growing well—she’s around the 70th percentile for both weight and height—so her pediatrician isn’t overly concerned. But I am. This honestly keeps me up at night because I worry she’s not getting enough nutrition or that I’m doing something wrong.
Has anyone else gone through this? What helped your toddler start eating? Did it get better with time, or is there something I should be doing differently? I’d really appreciate any advice or success stories.
