    I dont have a lot of advice. I think everyone has given some good points. Just thinking of you and hope this stage passes quickly for you

    Hopefully it runs its course soon.
    One thing with DS I found worked was to go out - he was always too distracted to feed if there were interesting things to see and do, and would much rather run around and eat on the go. So yeah, a playdate or park trip maybe?
    He also didn't seem to make that switch over to eating more than drinking till 15 months or so.

    ETA - just another thought. Have you taken her to a gp just to check there's nothing else going on?

    my DD at 15 months still breastfeeds more than eating. Yesterday I think she ate an orange and a banana and one piece of pasta all day

    I too wanted to cut back on breastfeeds in favour of food (we want to ttc) but then I realised, she probably knows what she needs better than I do, so we're just running with it.

    Its tiring isn't it? But at least I can still eat huge portions and heaps of chocolate without it showing

    Breastfeeding is a wonderful gift to your bub. You're such a great mummy!!!!
