On the solid foods thing- with a one year old, I'm just barely getting into offering them a few times a day. If we are out and about and busy or if I frankly just don't feel like dealing with the mess, I don't even give them solids. Of course, that means nursing many times a day, but I really prefer that to cleaning food out of hair three times a day, and they get more calories and nutrition that way anyway. It's a slow transition, but by 18 months or so, they are eating way more solids.

Are you feeling trapped because you feel like you'll be held hostage by her emotions? It would be really good to start identifying why you feel that way and working through it, now. She's becoming a toddler who is going to have a lot of BIG feelings about a lot of things very soon. That's ok. You just need to be bigger than her big feelings. You can learn to reflect her feelings and be compassionate to her without getting wrapped up in her angst.
