Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

The most important thing to know in this situation is what is her weight? If she is growing well, then she is getting enough food, even if it doesn't seem like it to you. At 6 months, she may still prefer formula or breast milk to solid foods. She will also have growth spurts and growth slow downs that might change her appetite and cause her to have days of eating more or less. Please get her weight and see if it is OK in comparison to her last check.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker, Pediatrician
