Mel replied. Try various fruits. Maybe she doesn' t like the texture rather than the fruit itself. Give her well mashed fruit. You can also give her fruit juice. Some children don' t like apples, but will lap up apple juice. Some children have strange tastes. E.g. my son likes grapes, oranges and citrus fruits compared to sweet ones. Give her some bits of skinned, chopped grapes or a bit of orange / mosambi (all membrane removed). If she still won' t take it, try using it in some breakfast recipes. But, don' t worry. You can get most vitamins and minerals in veggies.
About BF, 1 year is ideal, but you can carry on for as long as you both like. Now, that she' s one, you can give her larger meals and don' t breastfeed immediately after. Slowly, whenever she has a meal properly, discontinue one session of BF. Carry on for a week with one less BF session. NExt week, reduce 2 and so on. But, if once in a while, she rebounds and wants to be breastfed, it' s ok. As long as you' re back where you left off in a day or two. Make the weaning process slow since she is a fussy eater.
