My baby is 8 months old and she only feels satisfied when she having milk and not with her solids.
I feel like I’m failing! Any advice?

My son is the same way, but at 8 months solids aren’t for pure nutritional purposes. They’re for texture and experimentation. Milk will be their main source of nutrition and all until at least 12 months

Food at this age is for exploration of textures, introduction of allergens and for practicing skills like: hand-eye coordination, chewing, swallowing, and depth perception. It is also for supplementing nutrients that they do not get from breast milk (if EBF) like iron.
Milk is still their main source of nutrients until 1 year.
At 8 months they're only on 1 or 2 meals a day. Don't let your dr stress you out. A lot go off outdated standards and a lot don't have children of their own so they just spout textbook standards.
My dr was like that and we'll see how she's changed when she gets back from mat leave next year (our kids are exactly 1 year apart).

Some babies don’t even start solids until 9 months. Food before one is for fun and exploring. Their main nutrition comes from milk the first year of their life
