Quantity of solids at 10 months?

Thread title sounds like a shit Bond film, apologies...

10 month old ds is still breastfeeding lots of times a day and although he'll happily taste a few mouthfuls of most things he isn't putting away much in the way of quantity at any meal time. My first was hoovering up all food from the beginning so this one is making me a bit anxious - how normal is it for them to be properly eating only a small amount at this age?

It doesn't seem to be a texture thing as he'll get a similar amount in no matter if it's baby food, family food, etc. It's not affected by how recently he's been breastfed. He's just not really putting away much food. He's a very big boy, following the 95th centile but I'd just like to see food starting to play a bigger part (and breastfeeding less so...).

Any anecdotal experience that this is ok?

My daughter is 10 months and eats:

1 piece of toast, scrambled eggs and baked beans for breakfast.

Lunch is at nursery so some sort of meat+potato+veg and then fruit puree.

Afternoon snack

Dinner is whatever we are eating, tonight she had fajitas, last night was a kids meal from frankie and benny's

Wow, that's absolutely loads compared to DS. His big brother was a great eater from day one so it's worrying me that he's nowhere near as interested in eating large amounts.

It depends if your child is a hobbit or not!
My dd is almost 10 months and yesterday had a croissant, banana, donut, scrambled eggs, beans, jam on toast, rice cakes and a sausage dinner with a HUGE array of veg.
This is pretty normal whereas my niece at that age would eat a slice of toast and a banana all day most of the time.
