A. yes...Stop breastfeeding slowly and try to increase the solids for the baby. My baby is also 1 year 4 months but he doesn't eat food... although I weaned off breast feeding 3 months ago...He runs away seeing the food... but in your case...they take the backup of breast milk and avoid the outside food... So try to slowly reduce the number of times your feeding and increase the quantity of solids...

A. U Need to completely quit breastfeeding that is how your child is going to accept proper food that you are giving to the child you know you should just be giving regular traditional home cooked food to the child that’s the best thing to be given to the child as of now
