13 month old does not want to eat food just his bottle, suggestions?!?

Most pediatricians recommend beginning to wean your baby off the bottle at 10 months because they no longer get the all the nutrients they need from formula and the sugars in the milk can rot their developing teeth. If your baby is filling up on milk then he won't be as willing to take his baby food or fruit; however, if he is congested he probably has some drainage in his stomach that may be making him feel icky. Also, he may be unable to breathe through his nose while he is trying to eat. I would definitely recommend taking him to the doctor for some meds if you haven't already and speaking with the doctor or a nutritionist about his daily intake of different foods.
