Any advice would be appreciated please.

Hey
My little one is also 20 months. She’s exactly the same, I spoke to a dietitian recently who advised me to cut down the amount of breast milk I give her, I have done and I’m seeing a slight improvement with her meal intake. She said it may not happen straight away but eventually she will eat more because she no longer has as much milk to fill her.

do you any advice on how to cut down on BF because my little one is doesn’t show any sign of giving it up any time soon! 😫

My daughter is the same age she’s been a nightmare at meal times lately aswell I few other mums have told me the same not sure if it’s just the weather, but I’m going to be mentioning it to my hv aswell it’s not nice when they keep refusing but they will let us know when there hungry mine is the same she looks healthy and havnt lost any weight, but yes I’d speak to the hv, and this it might just be a phase hope this helps good luck 🫶🏽

My daughter is the same (20m) She’s only tiny but literally eats minimal sometimes so I feel like I need to constantly ply her with milk bc I’m worried she’s not getting enough nutrients etc or can’t possibly feel full on so little. It’s a tricky cycle! X

Definitely a phase. I remember being warned from 18 months the fussy eating starts. We’ve gone through the same and it feels like every meal is a waste, I’m just waiting for the day he will start eating normally again

My little one only has it through the night from being about 15 months old. I literally just stopped offering it her as much. Through the night she has milk to get her to sleep and then when she wakes rather than offer her boob again I have been giving her water in a baby bottle and cuddle her back to sleep. I don’t know if it’s the correct way to do it but it’s worked for us. Just start dropping one feed at a time. I know it’s really tricky

Good luck mama xx

We're still BF and I always try to make sure there's a long enough gap between meals/snacks.

So in the morning he has his breakfast, then breastmilk as a snack around 2 hours before lunch, then another snack and breastmilk 2 hours before dinner, and then breastmilk before bed.

If he asks for it too close to a meal, I just say "But you've got dinner soon." He's not happy about it but does accept it now.

We're in the same boat, some days we might be lucky and he'll eat a full meal and other days he'll survive the whole day of breast milk and some crackers. Toddlers can be a nightmare but the fact we're still breastfeeding at least for me outs me at ease because I know he's still getting something and unless he starts losing weight etc I wouldn't worry too much about it

Same boat (21m). From what I understand it’s completely normal for this stage. They eat what they need. So you’ll find one day they’ll eat loads then the next barely anything. Obviously just keep an eye on their weight and if it dips too much then contact those who need to know x
