Food is a bit hit and miss with my 10 mo DS ....he takes forever to finish his food! I think he's more of a grazer than a 3 solid meals kind of kid. If we wake up in time for breakfast then he'll usually have a corn thin/half a piece of toast with vegemite or weetbix or porridge with fruit and ebm....sometimes he eats it all sometimes not. The morning is probably the easiest time to get him to eat.

Lunchtime I'll cut up some fruit and just leave the plate on the floor for him to grab at his leisure, most of the time he'll just tip in on the floor but it does get eaten eventually. Sometimes he'll have some yoghurt or a sandwich too.

Dinnertime I try and get some meat into him as he's a tiny little guy. He'll just have what we're eating or a slightly modified version, often just nibbling off my plate. If we have spag bol I'll give him the pasta to munch and then mash some vegies into the bolognese. Or last night we had chops with vegies and mash so I cut up some of the meat for him to chew and some bits of broccoli then spoon fed the mash. He didn't really manage with the meat so I ended up chopping it up and putting it in the mash and he ate a little like that and can have the rest for lunch today. Again some nights he'll eat everything I give him others nothing it all. It can be frustrating sometimes, especially when I've gone through the effort of making him something special.

Sometimes I wonder if I should be trying to get him eat more especially when I hear of other babies his age having 3 solid meals and snacks! But he seems quite happy and since he's started eating meat has put on 2 kgs, still tiny but it's nice to see a bit of chub on him! He still has at least 4 BFs a day, maybe 2 little ones at night and snacks throughout the early morning when we're still in bed. So at least I know he's getting plenty of milk. When he starts dropping feeds then I'll start pushing the food a bit more. He has maybe half a sippy cup of water each day, maybe a bit more if it's hot.
