Does anyone here have a picky eater? Around 9-10 months my daughter started rejecting her bottles and only wanting solid foods. Around 11-11.5 months she flipped a switch and is now much more into bottles and milk than she is food. before each meal I wonder if she’s going to eat it or not. Half the time she eats it half the time she puts her head down and shuts her mouth and I know she doesn’t want it.
Should I cut back on her milk or should I just let her do her thing and let her decide what she wants and doesn’t want? Is anyone experiencing something similar?

Yes ma'am. Cut back to 12 oz of milk a day give more water and juice don't force her to eat she will eat if hungry if your really worried take her to the Dr and get her pediasure for nutrients.

Ok. She does drink pediasure. Maybe too much of it? She drinks about 16-20oz a day and i’d say half or a little more than half is pediasure

There are days when my son eats everything in sight, then some days where I'm lucky if I can get a few grapes and a cup of milk in him. I just let him decide now. It's too much of a fight, and I can't force feed him. Now that he's older I can give him choices and let him decide, but if he doesn't eat it he doesn't get punished. He just has to wait to the next snack/meal time for another choice. Yesterday he asked for a kiwi, an apple, and an orange. He took maybe two bites of each and then asked for something else. We told him no, that he had all those choices he already asked for, and had to eat at least one before he got anything else.
Kids are tough. I believe it was his doctor who said that theor bodies know what they need. Some days they need more food/energy (growth spurt, active, whatever) and eat more, other days they may not need as much energy so they eat less.
