@BabyBoecksMom: How old is she now?

My LO didn't have reflux, but MSPI and we did have issues with solids. She literally wouldn't open her mouth at all for solids until 7 months and even after she started opening her mouth, she would just do a lot of tasting but no real eating.

Even up till a year old, she just wasn't really in to solids, although I followed the rough "schedule" our pediatrician recommended. Like when she said we should be at 2 meals, I started offering 2 meals a day even though LO wasn't really eating enough to call either session a "meal". When our ped said we should be at 3 meals, I offered 3 times a day.

LO was bottle fed with pumped breast milk, so I dropped bottles a little slower than "recommended". Many of my fellow bottle feeding mom friends were down to 2 bottles (actually straw cups) a day by 1 year, and my LO was still at 4 because she wasn't eating.

At 13 months, I cut down to 2 bottles (morning and night) and 1 straw cup of milk (that she rarely drinks) during the day and she suddenly turned into an eating machine.

Now we have days where she eats all day long and can't seem to get enough. I've seen her eat an entire bratwurst herself, plus 2 vegetable sides, plus some bread. And she's 14 months. Crazy town, considering at 12 months I could hardly get her to eat at all.
