Meera replied. Hi....don't lose heart...and have immense patience...I have a similar problem too...a very fussy 13 month old.
try this...it has started working for my lil one...
I put her food..like chapati pieces/Idli/dosa ..dal rice etc on my plate and pretend i am eating as well...she got interested and comes and takes mouth fulls by herself.
Another thing i discovered is that she likes fresh yoghurt..and so i serve small portions of it with every meal...I think it helps the food go down...try to cut down commercial baby food...and try introducing stuff like grated boiled potato...with a spot of butter...pureed tomato carrot palak etc...the colour of these are interesting to the kid.
Also finger food like bread-cream...potato cut into fingers and cooked...and small bite sized stuff...leave 2-3 pieces on a small plate(I use the same plate always)in a place where she plays...and slowly the kid picks up each piece...moves around and eats it.if there R other children in the family try eating in company.

So good luck...i know how you feel...esp. when other kids do not fuss. sha replied. I think these will help her eat. First of all, cut down on her milk intake. Then slowly try to feed her little quantity of solid food. try to find out what she is interested in eating. eat ur food infront of her. if she likes to eat on her own, try some finger foods. Let her be on formula, for some more time. u can start whole milk by mixing formula half and whole milk half, and slowly incease the quantity of whole milk. do not force her to eat food, for it will make her more adamant. see what she is interested in, like if she likes to play with toys, make her play and feed her. think this will help.
