This happens in some children initially. You can use innovative ways to cook various vegetables and staple food. Also introduce fruits. Make it a playful activity to divert the attention. You can also use some flavoured cereals. Its a temporary phase. Do not force feed. Divert the attention from breast feeding and teach the baby to sit with family during lunch and dinner. Children learn by imitating others.

Do not give breast feeding for 3 hours prior to feeding solid food. Encourage her to eat on har own. Do not force feed her.
