Hello, it is ok if your 7 year old daughter feeds on semi-solid food during the day and takes mothers milk only at night. Give her a healthy diet with mashed fruits & vegetables, rice & dal. You can give her formula milk also. Please consult your child doctor for the best brand of formula milk like cerelac, lactogen etc.

Breastfeeding should be continued till 2 years age though in decreased frequency as compared to first 6 months. During weaning babies show likes or dislikes for various food. If you want to continue breastfeeding offer her breastfeed sometimes in a day. Don't force the child as they are already stressed to accept new tastes and food daily. Offer her if she refuse its fine, try again next time. Add milk and milk products in her diet if she is not taking breastmilk at all. You can use various formulas available for more than 6 months babies. Avoid cows milk till 1 year age.
