"She is a healthy child and weight is OK"

So this is not really a nutritional 'problem' then?  Especially if she will
eat finger foods, even if selectively.

Seems to me a real shame if she is made to wean when the bf may be an
important (the only?) form of relationship which she responds to....mothers
of autistic children go through a lot of grief because they can't *connect*
with their kids....here, bf is that connection.
