Did anyone's bf baby only start eating food properly after 12months?

[bumbleweed]

I need reassurance please.

Dd is 11 months and is not much interested in food, but still bf's every 3 hours at least day and night.

I have read kellymom which says some babies dont take to solids until after 12 months and just keep offering.

She is healthy and happy but I would obviously prefer if she didnt feed quite as much at night.

I asked HV for advice and she told me I am breastfeeding too much and that there is no nutritional value in breastmilk for her anymore and I am hindering her development if I dont night-wean her.

Has anyone else had baby who was late taking to solids but got there in the end?

lilymolly, sounds like your dd is doing okay if she enjoys her finger foods - she will be developing her eating skills and hand-eye coordination and will become much more familiar with textures and appearances of foods than a baby purely puree fed.

yes interesting that she enjoys her formula just as much as my dd likes boob - good luck and yes, try to chill out, as will I

the first 2 babies i have heard of in RL who were like this were both ff.
