Firstly sorry if I sound like a broken record but can feel myself starting to get stressed about the amount of solids (or not) that my 10.5 month old is eating. He used to really good at solids but this has changed of late - originally thought was just teething - and am starting to get a little stressed out that he just isn't having enough or that it is something that I am doing wrong.

He currently has BF in the morning and is having a bottle after his lunch and then another after dinner before he goes to bed. If I feel that his morning BF wasn't that great I am offering him a top up before he goes for his morning nap - sometimes he takes sometimes he doesn't.

Breakfast is definitely his best meal of the day but lunch and tea are very small. Previously when I last posted it was just his tea that was hit and miss. I might be wrong but I do think that his night waking which has started again is becuase he is hungry as he is not having enough during the day.

I had been offering him either Rafferty's pouches or else food I had cooked myself but recently he will only take a small amount from the spoon so I am now trying to get him to take more finger food but this is where we are struggling. He doesn't seem to have a problem with trying to pick up the food and put into his mouth but then seems to just gum and then spit out. Any suggestions on what I can offer or do would be great. Am currently trying veggies, small pieces of chicken, cheeze, pasta. I have had very little success with him taking fruit. He will eat toast, cruskits, little cream cheese sandwiches.

I keep telling myself that he won't let himself go hungry but old habit die hard. We had big big issues when he was born with regards to him breast feeding and really don't want to go back into that space of worrying the whole time about how much he is eating. I know he is healthy now but can't help worrying that if he doesn't eat more he won't remain healthy. Stupidly paranoid I know.

Would love some advice any ideas on what to do (if anything).

Thanks in advance

BTW he treats the entire thing as a game and just laughs when I tell him he must eat more for Mummy!
