  I am also worried about it because he will be one soon! and that I know of, you are suppose to give them whole milk an food! once they are 1 year old. Any advise or anything would help. I've already asked his pedi but he just tells me to keep trying on giving him food which DUh obviously. Thanks again ladies!

  I wouldn't worry about it yet. As long as he is nursing/getting enough formula bottles, he is getting the nutrition he needs. Just keep offering. My 9 month old eats what we eat also. I recommend the book Baby Led Weaning by Rapley & Murkett. It will give ideas on what to feed. My boys love cheerios, gerber puffs, veggie straws, apples, grapes (quartered), blueberries,strawberries, green beans, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, any kind of cracker, toast with peanut butter, etc. They don't eat too much meat unless I give that to them first with no other options on their plates.

  But don't I need to stop feeding him formula once he is 1 year old and give him whole milk and solids?

  Absolutely not! Age 1 is the earliest a baby should stop formula. Most take much longer to wean.

  Exactly what @Pearlvirus said. You can START weaning around 1 if you wanted but there is no set rule. If he still isn't eating many solids, then he still needs formula or some other formula/toddler replacement.

  Keep trying, and of course you don't have to stop formula at 1. we still give my 17 month old a bottle at night, but mainly because he is refusing vegetables.
