DS started on solids about 10 days ago, aged 6 months and a couple of days. It's going brilliantly - he loves food and is getting far more into his tummy and much less on the floor than I'd have imagined.
I was all set to take it nice and slowly, but the thing is, he eats everything I put in front of him (well, apart from broccoli, but hey ). It's still mostly fruit and veg, but he also loves toast, yoghurt and cheese.
For example, yesterday for lunch he had two slices of toast and butter with avocado on top, followed by a whole banana. And this was immediately after a bf! I have been giving him a bit of fruit about 4pm too, but didn't yesterday as I assumed he'd be full, but he then had two bfs in quick succession around 4pm, so I think he missed it.
He is a big boy - 98th centile - and was exc bf till 6mo and still bf on demand. I haven't really noticed him dropping feeds; in fact, he's now slipped in an extra one about an hour after the first one of the day, which makes me wonder if I ought to start him on some breakfast too.
I was very confident when exc bf that he was only taking as much as he needed and was meant to be a big baby; that was one of the attractions of BLW too. But could he be eating too much? I think he'd happily scoff three meals a day already if I put it in front of him...
