DS is 7mo. He started on baby rice around 22wks, then progressed to veg & fruit purees. He was really keen at first, but now isn't that interested and my HV is telling me I should be giving him more food, proteins etc. I can barely get him to eat a couple of spoons at each meal these days. I'm still BF and he hasn't yet dropped the night feeds (which I'm working on) so I'm concerned that he's getting too much milk and that's why he's not interested in food.
I know he still mainly needs milk till 12mo, so don't need to drop the milk too drastically, but I'm really reluctant to drop his milk feeds in the day as I'm worried he'll just up the already exhausting night feeds.
BF: - 7am, 9.30, 12.30, 6.30, betw. 9 - 10.30pm, then a couple at night e.g. 12.30, 3.30am.
I offer meals 8.30am, 12pm, 4pm. I do offer a variety of fruit and veg, have tried chicken casserole purees, (have AK recipe books!) baby rice, rusks, yogurt etc. etc. he has gagged and vomited when i've offered finger foods, so I'm sticking to the mashed stuff for now.
I'd be really grateful if anybody could offer advice on increasing his interest in food, whilst ensuring he still gets his milk. should I go back to two meals a day instead of three? if so which one do I drop??? Which milk feeds should i try and drop? Any thoughts on changing the timings of BF / meals? TIA
