A. It's not uncommon for toddlers to go through phases where they are picky eaters and prefer milk over solid food. At 1 year and 5 months, your child should ideally be transitioning to a more varied diet, but many toddlers go through a stage where they reject certain foods or show a preference for milk. Here are some suggestions to encourage your daughter to eat solid foods: Try different textures: Sometimes, toddlers prefer certain textures (like mashed, soft, or finger foods) over others. Experiment with different food forms to see what she likes. Make food fun: Make the food colorful and visually appealing. You can use cookie cutters to shape fruits, veggies, and sandwiches into fun shapes or arrange food in playful patterns. Offer small portions: Large portions can be overwhelming for toddlers. Start with small amounts and allow her to ask for more if she wants. Lead by example: Eat together as a family. Children are more likely to try food when they see others eating and enjoying it. Consistency: Offer a variety of foods, even if she rejects them at first. It might take multiple attempts before she develops a liking for a new food. Limit milk intake: If she is filling up on milk, try to reduce the amount of milk she gets throughout the day so she may feel more hungry at meal times. Snack options: Offer healthy snacks like fruit slices, crackers with cheese, or small vegetable sticks between meals. If her food refusal continues for a prolonged period or if she shows signs of weight loss or nutritional deficiency, it's important to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
