14 month old still not eating solids

Hi mamas… as the title says, my almost 14 month old is still living off of formula. He literally won’t even touch most foods. He enjoyed chicken nuggets for like a week and now throws them on the floor without even trying it. As he does with most foods. Picks it up and immediately on the floor. I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m scared of just cutting out formula because I don’t want him to starve. Everyone says he won’t, but he literally has no interest in food. I need help, I’m at a loss

Mine is extremely picky as well, just work with what they like and expand off of it. Ex my little liked elbow noodles with spaghetti sauce. I slowly added stuff and changed it so now we can do my dairy free hamburger helper (baby has dairy allergy). I worked off that to be okay with cut up lasagna noodles, next goal is to be okay with cut up spaghetti noodles. I also blend or finely dice veg and add it in, slowly leaving the pieces bigger and bigger

If I decrease milk intake (baby is off formula for awhile now) He will eat more solids. Right now we’re doing 3 6oz bottles a day. The rest is solids. We’re still feeding him mostly because he throws food on the floor. Our pediatrician said to lower milk intake at his 12 month appointment

My twins hated "baby food" bit loved small pieces of real food and now put down a lot food, they didn't like me chopping things too fine. The tearing of meat is part of the attraction to eating.

Like cooked broccoli but give them the whole floret. Same with shrimp and chicken tenders. The diced pieces they would throw in the floor but whole food, especially if I ate with them would make them interested

If you need some tips for solids , these instagrams for some guidance

Also maybe try doing some research on Baby lead weaning to see if anything may help with your feeds
