Mom replied. Hey P, I've also same problem with my kid. I've 16 months baby. But, I take upto 30 mins only. If she didn't eat that time then I skip her lunch or whatever it is. And I am also trying to feed her for a long interval. However we do, she doesn't take fullfledged meal. But, try for her. Let her be hungry, then u can feed her. If it not worksm drop this idea. And onemorething, it depends on her milk also. If she likes to drink milk, u may stop to give in the morning and give breakfast andthen give milk. But I don't have any idea for my baby.
Pls reply me whether it works or not.
Bye.
