My 18th month old dotter is super fussy and picky when it comes to food. She will like to self feed at the most ten spoons then stops. (small bb spoons) and play with the food. She had nv seriously finished a bowl of porridge or anything before. I tried cooking with new methods and even "upgrade" my ingredients to what I see she might like. Just not working. She is on bm and im weaning her off with goat milk. I heard that bm had no iron, so I'm quite scare that she will be deprived of it, plus the fact that she hates food. Worried mum.
