My 8mth old ds has been on 2 small meals for a few weeks now.I didn`t introduce solids until 26 weeks because of the strong family history of allergies, astma and eczema. He was doing fine on 2 home cooked meals a day.Usually steamed veg at lunchtime and fruit for tea.We had to stick with dairy free, gluten free and wheat free because his sister has so many severe allergies. He is now refusing nearly all solid food and quite happy solely breastfeeding.He has got into the habit also of feeding 2 hourly overnight.I know hes not going hungry because he cries at night as if hes never been fed, but falls back to sleep within 5 mins of latching on.He has plenty of wet nappies and is gaining weight.I do worry though that he is missing out on iron ect ?
Has anyone had a baby who is happy to just breast feed at this age? Should i persist more with the solids ?
Would appreciate any advice.
