DS 14mo eating enough?

[GimbleInTheWabe]

Hello. Would love some advice and/.or reassurance about DS' food intake please.

Today DS has had
Breakfast: 3 2" fingers of toast with butter and peanut butter
Lunch: handful of peas and sweet corn with other little bits of veg in like shredded cabbage (it was one of these layered veg pot things from the Sainsbury's veg aisle, I think made for stir frys) with glass noodles.
Dinner:a tiny bit of rice, maybe 4 cubes of chicken goujon, 1 entire baby corn, he gave 2 long stem broccolis a good chewing.
Snack: box of raisins and an advent calendar chocolate (). One banana.
And water too if course.

He is still breastfed and feeds probably 8-10 times a day (still feeds before his 2 day naps) and once during the night.

Is this enough? He's really not a hungry baby tbh. He throws soooooo much of it on the floor and doesn't have a lot at patience for meal times.

He is 10kg 5oz which puts him on the 50th% and he is very very active. He's walking and climbing pretty much every waking moment and doesn't stay in the same place for more than 30 seconds!

I don't know whether I'm just comparing him to other babies who just seem to eat everything and anything. He is quite particular and there's lots of things he won't eat. He used to also eat more fruit but now will only eat bananas. I am worried that I am setting him up to be a picky eater. I don't fuss at mealtimes and I keep them relaxed and fun but he just doesn't seem bothered about food no matter what I offer him, with the exception of his one true love: pasta!!

I read this as 14yo so when i got to the bit about still being breastfed i had to go back and reread!!!
Sounds alright to me. As long as hes putting on weight and has energy id be lead by him.
Maybe offer a yogurt as a pudding type thing at lunch time?

dont worry or compare.you can only go on other for guidance.as every baby is horribly similar and horribly different to comparing will lead you to despair too often hun!
keep going with it.keep offering him everything.and if he likes pasta give more pasta.its ok. you know pasta can come in many forms.in the tins.with sauce.plain.in lasagne.so introduce him new bits with that.so "ooo do you no what mummy likes with her pasta.this mince.or mix in some of his corn and peas in a pasta bake.
those tortilini with a veggie sauce on top.
slowly introduce new things.and make them exciting.
hes at the picky eater stage.dont worry.dont make the meals an emotional battle either because this is where is associations are forming.just go with it.
vary the setting too.picnics.in front ot favourite tv show.when your eating that can be shared offer him one.
play games.my turn you turn.plate in the middle and id pick one and she'd pick one.(pretening of course she took the good one)
and don't put the face at the advent choc.there IS NOTHING wrong with this.

Thank you both for your reassurance and advice. Scary to think that one day I will have a 14yo @Mumtoboy123 

Thanks as well for the good ideas @kateandme. I think I'll offer him pasta in different forms as you say and hopefully he'll take to it. I have been really careful to not fuss at mealtimes so if he says he's done then I follow his lead, because as you say I don't want to create a pattern or atmosphere.

Hopefully he'll just move out of this phase and get his zest for food back. DP and I love all types of cuisine and cooking so I think I just got nervous st the thought of having a child that only wanted plain pasta haha. But my DPs mum informs me that DP only ate pasta and pesto for years and he now eats all sorts and is a fabulous cook so I guess it's not so bad anyway!

My brother we all fall down to the point my parents took him to the GP because he wouldn't eat and they did have to be firm I'm not saying don't do that because they need to see the boundaries to feel safe kids need to see the walls and parameters We give to them and that takes a lot of guts to be that firm. but it's snowing a difference between that emotional battle I'm just saying listen I'm a parent eat this shit now lol.
so of course don't back down but just Know when it's going to destroy your relationships or him by pushing I guess. my parents did the whole right we're splitting the plate in half you have to eat that before you leave the table sometimes it works sometimes it didn't Full stop. But he's now in his 20s and he eats everything he's a strapping lad he's a physio for a major football team and he's amazing he's my hero so here's To the fussy stage and fingers crossed your boy just comes out of it too.
