Hi all
I was hoping for some reassurance as although this is DS2, I'm in a different situation than I was with DS1!
I'm back to work in just over a week's time when DC2 will be just over 11 months. He is BF, doesn't take a bottle (though trying him again later) and has never had formula (not formula bashing at all, DS1 was fully FF by 8 months, but it seems pointless to introduce for a few weeks til he can drink cows milk).
We introduced solids about 5.5 months. Mostly finger food, but will eat certain things off a spoon (e.g. yoghurt, mashed potato, beans, cereal etc). He's taken well to solids in terms of variety and will eat/try most things, but quantity eaten varies a lot, some meals he'll eat loads and others not so much. He still has quite a few BFs (demanded), so morning, evening, mid morning and mid afternoon and through the night for comfort (thats another issue...). The mid morning and mid afternoon ones he has solid snacks too, but still usually wants a quick feed, sometimes to sleep. Nursery are going to give him a sippy cup of EBM (til aged one as they won't give cows milk before) with his snacks. On his taster sessions he's sipped at this but not drank any great quantity. My parents also have him on my other working days and he'll have some cows milk in a sippy cup then. He also sips at water throughout the day but does spit some of it back out. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that he won't starve in my absence 
. He's in the middle of his 4 top teeth coming through which is clearly making eating more difficult for him and has occasionally requested extra BFs in the day whilst this has been going on. Anyone got any experience to share that might make me feel a bit less nervous about it all? I went back to work earlier with DS1 and his eating was up and down until probably about 18 months, but now he eats tonnes and is on the 98th centile so worrying about it at the time was clearly pointless!
