Mine is 22 months, still very dependent on breastmilk. She is very very picky when it comes to “table foods” doesn’t matter how often I offer, she will typically push an entire plate of food onto the ground. She finds a few things she’ll take bites out of. I just remind myself, when she’s ready, she’ll be ready. Right now, textures and tastes are all very different and sometimes, they just aren’t quite ready for it all.

Feed what you can. Do not cut back on her main source of food. My kids took til 13 or 14 months to be crazy about actual food. Babe is growing, in a leap. You will notice good and bad changes to sleep and eating habits.

Cut back on the milk and snacks. He will eat when hungry.

Her back teeth, not molars, are probably coming in. Kids get molars at various times. 2, 6 and 12 mostly. But other teeth coming can be painful. If she’s drinking, it’s probably her gums. Try cold foods. Freeze some fruit for her. See if she nubs on it. Maybe some sugar free ice cream after lunch. Avoid crackers or snacks that are hard, like the puffs. If it is her teeth, soft and cold may make her feel better.
Try to keep a schedule for a few wks:
Breakfast, small snack, lunch, small snack, dinner, small snack, bed. If she doesn’t eat more within a week and stops drinking, see her Dr. :two_hearts::two_hearts:
Also, expect eating, sleeping and moods to change as she hits certain ages. So, now, 2-4, 6 when the molars come in. It’s usually quick, a week, may be 2, but she’ll eat, sleep and behavior differently. It’s totally normal. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

My oldest went through the same thing and I mixed up baby oatmeal, baby food fruit, and formula. Made it kinda runny and gave it in a bottle. Poked holes in the nipple to make it flow easier.

Talk to their pediatrician first of all, dont ask strangers for medical advice on the internet. We don’t know your childs situation, history, etc.
