It is common for toddlers around 22 months to go through phases where their eating habits fluctuate, especially as they become more interested in exploring the world around them rather than focusing on eating. However, if your baby is only taking a few bites and preferring to breastfeed, it's important to ensure that he is getting a balanced diet to support his growth.
You can try offering smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than large meals. Encourage him to explore different textures and tastes, and make mealtimes fun and stress-free. Try involving him in meal prep or offering food in creative ways, like finger foods, to make eating more appealing. You can also try to introduce new foods slowly and avoid pressuring him to eat, as this may make him more resistant.
If he continues to show little interest in solid foods and is solely relying on breast milk, or if you are concerned about his growth and nutrition, it would be a good idea to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues or get more tailored advice.
