Annabelles eating habits - UK

This was on her 1st birthday

Annabelle was born on November 17th 2006. She is generally a happy baby, but has her moments. She is funny most of the time, with the things she does.

When Annabelle was born she kept being sick after her bottles. I started her solids at around 8 weeks old with the paediatricians say so. She then, after about 3 months, started being sick after her solids as well :(.

She now doesn't eat very well.

I am having trouble with feeding now she is 16 months old.

For breakfast she will only eat rusks in a liquid form with a few small lumps, for dinner either a chocolate spread sandwich, sausage roll or nothing. Depends whether she's in an eating mood or not. For tea she will only have smash granules with spaghetti mixed in.

I'm trying to expand her fussy eating, but nothing's working.

She used to eat anything - even curries. If I was having one she would have a couple of mouthfuls but not anymore.

She sometimes feeds herself a little bit which is a really cute thing.

She's hooked on juice - she has approximately 10 bottles a day which I am doing well on cutting down. About a month ago she was on about 15 bottles a day.

Annabelle is still on 3 bottles of milk a day.
