What food can I add formula to?

My 9month old had gone off of his milk and drinks in general. I'm trying to think of ways I can put his formula milk into foods so that he still is getting some but I can't think of anything else apart from eggs, avocado and weetabix to add it to. Has anyone got any suggestions? My LB has done BLW

How to get more protein

Confused by BLW

I've just started BLW. I'm giving him big strips to hold and eat accompanied by some homemade puree of the same veg. But I'm just a bit confused how they're supposed to eat the actual veg when they have no teeth and don't know how to chew. Isn't it dangerous if they break off a huge chunk of cauliflower and accident...

Snacks

I sometimes worry if our 16 month old is getting enough to eat at mealtimes. He is happy to sit in the highchair for a good while and eats reasonably well. I usually start with a small portion of pasta or whatever and add to it if he seems to enjoy it. Then he'll have something else on the side like bread/garlic bre...

Solids

Is it okay if I haven’t really started solids yet? I know most have done it already at this age. I tried two spoonfuls of purées & my son had no interest. He hated them. He is exclusively breastfeeding, so I haven’t been giving him anything other than milk after the failed purées.
