Should I be concerned?

My baby just turned 7 months and she “ doesn’t eat” that much, some times she just don’t eat solids a day here or there. She still breastfed on demand. Shws interested in food, but just don’t want it… she’s not hungry?

I have the same issue with mine. She takes the tiniest amount of whatever I give her but then she refuses the rest. She nurses on demand and she will oftentimes request to nurse after being offered solids.

Milk is their main source of nutrition till 1. Keep trying but don’t stress if she doesn’t eat much. Food is for fun at that age

As above, milk is their main form of nutrition till 1 anyway. Solids at that age is more about letting them explore different tastes and textures and start to the learn the coordination needed for eating. I'd continue to offer her little somethings on the days she doesn't seem too hungry because even picking food up and maybe sucking on it or handling it is all part of the journey. My 15m old still has days like this where he seems to want the comfort of nursing over eating his meals

That's normal. Different babies pick up an interest in solids at a different rate. 7 months is still young. As long as she is trying bits here and there she is still doing great!
