Hello,
I think you should have been introducing the food to her gradually by the age of 6 months. Try to introduce food gradually from fruit juices to fruit and vegetable porridge
Also include some types of grains. Initially, don't feed her at night.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
