I'm just not sure what I should do here. DS2 is 8.5 months and has been baby led weaned since 5.5 months. He absolutely loves his food and would keep eating if I kept giving him food. The issue I have is that he's not a fan of his breast milk. He will take 5 mins, if I'm lucky, then refuse any more. Mainly in the mornings. He has his last breastfeed before bed around 7.30pm (which is generally a good feed), and wakes up around 6/6.30am. He will have a good BF if he falls asleep at the breast, which I allow him to do as I can be sure he's getting enough milk that way.
The question I have is when he doesn't take his breastfeed should I still give him his solids after? I have tried to skip lunch in hope that he takes his afternoon feed better, which seemed to help a little but not a whole lot.
Some mornings I will express & put around 100mls of EBM on his cereal so I know he is getting enough milk but I don't want to have to do this every morning.
I know that they take what they want etc etc.... But I also know that food is just for fun under the age of 1.
