My little boy just about eats. He is way too busy to sit down for a meal let alone eat healthy.
How can I encourage better eating and how much is the norm for a baby this age to eat?
Thank you

Is he drinking bottles instead to get his calories or is he losing weight?

I had a child who basically only wanted bottles until he was 20 months old, then started little by little eating more food.

Most by 17 months are eating mostly food and having maybe two bottles a day (mine like a bottle before nap time and at bedtime, drink themselves to sleep). But everyone develops at their own rate, as long as he's gaining weight, I would try not to worry.

It's just a little comforting. He does take bottles. He used to eat so nicely until 11 months.
