Hi. This is my first post ont his board. My daughter is 12 months old and has recently become a very fussy eater. She will only eat those triangles of Laughing Cow cheese. I can put it on pasta, bread.. anything really, and she will pick it off or lick it off... leaving everything else on her plate. NOthing else can get in her mouth. She still has between 3 and 4 bottles a day of 240 ml each. Nothing comes between her and her milk ( unlike her mother!! ) I have tried cutting down her milk to get her to eat more of other things, but it doesn't work. Certainly not going to starve her to force her = any other ideas.... or is this just a phase and go with the flow.
Please help

Hi, I would say this is a phase.
As long as she's healthy she will be ok.
She certainly won't starve. Just keep offering her different kinds of food.
My boy is 2.5 and somedays will only eat 2 slices of toast and/or a handful of grapes.

When I was that age, my mother could only get me to eat cream crackers and jam, all the while.  It is just a phase.
