Sick 11 month old and change in eating

Dd has a cold (no fever thankfully). She doesn't want to eat table food but will eat a little baby food so the past two days that's what I've been giving her. She still takes all of her bottles (I've actually had to increase them bc she cries when she's done). Is there anything wrong with doing this until she feels better? I obvi can't force her to eat so figure this is an ok option
Is there anything I should try to give her or will the formula be enough nourishment for a few days?

will she eat ANY table food?
I'm no expert but IMO - I think it's fine. it's not like she's not getting ANY nourishment. sometimes when we don't feel good, we don't feel like eating - I'm sure it's the same for our LO's.
dd was sick when she was 10 months and not on table food yet but her bottles were way off. and now at 14.5 months she's teething pretty bad and there were 2 days that I swear she ate almost nothing except her 2 bottles of milk. I did give her an extra couple of ounces because she cried when the bottle was gone and I knew she had to be hungry, not having eaten dinner.
at 14.5 months dd still eats pouches of veggies... and I think it's fine. if she'll eat baby food, so be it. at 11 months they're new to table food still so maybe she just isn't up to the "effort" of chewing etc.
if she has any favorites, I'd give her those - that way if she won't eat them, you know she's really just not in the mood. or you can try smaller easier things for her to snack on: yogart, cheese, fruit, cheerios. I wouldn't worry much

ITA with MrsKelly. The important thing is that she's still drinking her bottles. And it's great that she's eating the baby food. When we're sick, we don't always feel like eating either, right? I know it's natural to worry, but she'll be ok! Hope she feels better soon.

It's fine and a good thing she is drinking bottles!
My ds is sick and his appetite hasn't been great. He's not loving anything. I am offering him mostly bottles bx I want him to stay hydrated.
