When do solids become more important than breastmilk?

[RomanCandles]

If a fully breastfed baby is only intermittently interested in solids, but happily feeds several times a day (and night!) when do you start getting concerned?

Ds2 (13m) is obviously getting all the calories he needs, but is he getting all the nutrients if he doesn't eat much by way of solids?

ds2 and ds3 were both like this, it wasnt till about 18mths that they got properly interested in food and then made the transition to mainly solids rather than bmilk.

if he seems happy and healthy i would worry too much, i just kept offering a wide range of food, made sure they sat at the table with us at meal times etc and they both gradually decided that they would eat.

if you are really worried you could give vitamin drops? but i reckoned that as i have a good healthy diet myself that my breastmilk should therefore contain what they needed hth

there were some links on the thread about extended bfeeding which showed the nutrient content, vitamins etc, and bmilk provided a large proportion of these even up until age two
