I agree with cc980024..milk should not be the only source of food. Maybe can try out to cook different types of food for her to entice her. food is always trial and error. Kids may like it today..and hate it tomorrow and vice-versa.

I think it's perfectly normal...during that age. My son is 20 months and he's active..sometimes i wonder where he gets his energy from and there are times that he refuses to eat. I don't force him to eat if he's in those "I'm not going to eat anything" phase today. As long as I know he is still active and do eat here and there (like fruits, yoghurt, bread) and of coz his milk..it should be ok. His weight is about 10kg.

Somehow, i noticed that he likes eating what we eat, so if I would give him whatever we eat.. not just porridge (btw my son hates porridge). Maybe you can try that too? Give your daughter food that you eat..of coz just cut or mashed it up

Out of curiosity..though i know we are asians..and we tend to just follow what our parents fed us when we were babies..but..do you ever divert from giving just porridge to your toddlers?

Frankly, i think it's rather jelak...though you can play with the contents but still ..base is porridge.
