Stressed Out!

[marie7]

So my son has just had 4 teeth coming through at the same time... sometimes i think hes going great guns with food and other times not... although
he was never enjoying or getting in to food much anyway but now it just seems to have gone back to the beginning... he's 9 months now and im worried! i feel like he doesnt eat much at all... ive stopped offering spoon stuff as it just stresses him and myself out and i dont want him to hate food because i keep trying to shove a spoon in his face... i have gone to all BLS except a yogurt for afternoon snack which he sometimes eats as long as he knows its yogurt on the spoon...
so i spose im asking how much should i be offering?? im doing BLS for breakfast lunch and dinner now just putting stuff in front of him hoping he will eat it but he just plays with it alot. i know bls is about that but its hard when all the 'advice' im getting is 'thats nowhere near enough food for him' but what am i soposed to do?? i cant shove food down his throat right!!!
oh and im still breastfeeding on demand and he still has upwards of 8 -10 feeds a day including night feeds which i also get critisism about?? i feel like i cant stop offering him boob if he's not eating anything else??? but he does drink water though!
sorry for long rant! been a long few weeks with his teeth and im just feeling lost!!

hi looks like noone responded before now so i just thought i would say that my DD is just 12 months and has only just started trying food, and is a whopping 12kg. as long as you are breastfeeding on demand and your babe is happy, healthy and output is good you have nothing to worry about. 8-10 BF a day sounds completely normal, I'd say my DD is having about that much - i find it better not to count tho!
