Baby formula

My son is almost 11 months old and he will not take his formula anymore.  He has a couple sips after breakfast lunch and dinner or not at all.  He also hardly eats breakfast or lunch anymore either. I am concerned he his not getting all the nutrient and vitamins he needs.  Is there anything I can do?

His weight is just below the 25th percentile for his age, which is good. Since he is almost a year old, let him eat all the foods you eat now (cut-up in small pieces) and finger foods. He may make a mess but he will be learning how to eat regular food. Give him a spoon to try to use too. Suggest switching to milk for the bottle and see if he will accept it then, if not then try a ‘sippy cup’. Suggest giving him your own milkshakes (milk, ice cream, and fruit-if accepted- blended) instead of milk for additional calories and protein. If you are concerned, then give him chewable children daily multi-vitamins.
