I have a  1 year old who doesn't eat much.

She takes a little bit of this and that.

Eg. breakfast. I made banana and blueberry pancake. She takes a few small bites. Eats 1/4 banana. Some orange juice, some milk. Done.

This is the same throughout the day.

Can't think of what to cook for her meals anymore.  Doesn't like porridge. Loves bread and likes noodles. She can eat plain bread or bread dipped with cream cheese or unsalted peanut butter every day!

If the food is new, she takes a lot, but if you repeat it again within 1-2 weeks, she won't eat much anymore. An example was she was happily devouring pear last week, bought more over the weekend and she refused to open her mouth to even taste it.

Was eating quite well at 8 months. Then started teething and it's been going downhill from there. Still drinks some formula milk, though.

Still very active, doesn't sleep much for a 1 year old. She sleeps about 11 hrs a day vs an average of 14 hours (from online stats).

On one hand, I'm worried about her nutrition, while on the other, she seems to be growing and putting on weight (median range for her age) and very active.

Anyone else experienced something like this with a picky eater?

Teething? Try different texture?

Think so. Only texture left is pureeing everything again.

Doctor suggested to let her get really, really hungry and she'll eat anything.

Agree with your doctor. When baby turn 1year old she doesn’t like to eat porridge because is not pureed. So I puréed her chicken but not her porridge. She eat. Maybe you can try but don’t use this method for too long later she doesn’t chew her food.
