My LO 19months used to eat food like egg, porridge, bread, cookies but now she refuses to eat and only wants to drink milk. She drinks milk 5x a day. I tried to encourage her to eat together during mealtime and let her use her utensils but she will only eat 1 or 2 spoon and then play with the food. Kindly advice me. I feel so stress whenever i try to feel feed her. I’m worried that she’s not getting enough nutrients. I still continue to give her vitamins. #Needadvice #firsttimemom

I totally understand how stressful this can feel, mama. Around this age, many toddlers go through picky eating phases and suddenly prefer milk because it feels familiar and comforting. My child also had a phase where milk was all they wanted, and mealtimes became so exhausting for me emotionally. One thing that helped was slowly reducing milk intake instead of stopping suddenly. Sometimes when they drink milk too often, they simply don’t feel hungry enough for solids. You can try offering food first before milk and spacing the milk feeds out a little more gradually. Also, try not to pressure her too much during meals. Toddlers can sense our stress, and it can make them resist eating even more. Some days they really survive on just a few bites, and surprisingly, that can still be normal. Continue offering different foods without forcing, and let her explore even if she only plays with the food for now. Eating together as a family, keeping mealtime relaxed, and offering small portions helped a lot for us too. Sometimes changing the presentation like finger foods, fun shapes, or letting them self-feed more can encourage interest again. Since she’s still drinking milk and taking vitamins, try not to panic too much. But if this continues for a long time, or if you notice weight loss, low energy, or developmental concerns, it may be good to check with a pediatrician just for reassurance. You’re doing your best, and many moms go through this stage too ❤️
