Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Your little angel is grown up enough to understand the taste of other food items including oil, salt, sugar, spices etc. She also knows that you will give her spicy and tasty food if she forces you away from breast fed milk. Let me tell you, now breast milk is not that necessary for her, if she is getting nutrients from other sources. You can reduce the breast milk frequency to once daily.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
