I've been following Little One's cues in regards to feeding for the first year. She was nursed on demand and showed no interest in solids until about 10 months- until she could self feed small chunks of whatever we were eating.
Once she started eating solids she was very interested. I figured once we hit a year that I would start to up her solid intake. For awhile she seemed to want to eat everything and there wasn't a fruit/veggie she wouldn't eat.
She spent the better part of an afternoon with my mother in law where she gorged on cheerios
and goldfish crackers
Now she isn't satisfied unless she is eating some sort of carby-starchy food. Also she is still nursing 8-10 times a day/night. I thought for sure that would at least start to drop off after she turned a year.
So she eats a pretty good breakfast. Usually a whole banana, some yogurt with wheat germ mixed in and sometimes she'll have a little bit of homemade toast with tahini butter.
She used to love cheese- so much that I couldn't cut it up fast enough for her. Now she doesn't want to have anything to do with it.
I feel like all she wants to do is nurse, eat bananas, avocados and that's pretty much it. Lunches and suppers are so hard. She won't eat meat. She used to love cooked carrots but now she ignores them. I've tried black beans and tofu and cooking veggies in stock for added flavor. One day she likes raspberries and the next day she cries if I put them in front of her.
This is all so frustrating and confusing!!!
I absolutely am not looking to wean her but I'm starting to get sore and very tired of nursing as much as I did the day I brought her home from the hospital. Plus it doesn't help that my husband's family thinks it's gross that she's till BFing and I feel weird still needing to nurse her every time I leave the houes for more than an hour.
She's my first and I just have no idea what I am doing or what I should be doing.
She also nurses every 2 hours through the night and now that she's got a few teeth I'm worried about cavities forming.
Any help?

Looking on the bright side.
Even not, I now it's so good for him and I should be happy that he loves my milk.
