A. After age 1, a child might continue regularly drinking a moderate amount of breast milk. As a result, breast milk will continue to be a source of nutrients for him or her. Other children, however, might use solid foods to meet their nutritional needs and want only small amounts of breast milk.It's very possible a toddler won't eat because they just aren't hungry as often as you expect them to be. If your toddler won't eat foods he once liked, try serving them in new ways, but also remind yourself that it's normal for toddlers to go through phases of loving and not loving foods.When your baby is old enough, allow him/her to eat the food by himself/herself, and avoid force-feeding. You can also introduce finger foods to your baby. Ensure that the baby handles his/her food independently and encourage him to eat the food.If you want to see your baby guzzling down his/her food, then offer a variety of healthy food choices. Try to be creative with whatever you cook for your baby. Experiment with colourful vegetables and fruits; children are attracted to colour, and they will eat foods that look attractive.Don’t threaten your baby by saying things like “No playing with your toys if your plate is not clean”. This only creates a power struggle, and your baby won’t respond positively.Once you switch to solids, ensure you introduce textures slowly. Do not feed your baby foods with big pieces; he won’t be able to chomp them down. Start with purees or opt for soups. If you have already introduced soups and purees and your baby is still not ready to eat other cooked solid foods, you may temporarily switch back to the soups and re-introduce other solids one by one after a while. https://parenting.firstcry.com/articles/baby-not-eating-reasons-and-feeding-tips/
