Would just like some reassurance

Nah, you're doing great Ryn.

By the time he NEEDS solids, DS will be used to tastes and textures and be able to satisfy his own appetites because eating will be a normal thing, but until then i really wouldn't stress. Smee was 7months old (1st November last year ) when she had her last BF and it was AT LEAST 3 months from then that she was reliably wanting solids 3-4 times a day. Lots of babies have days or even weeks when they only want milk (i'd have felt a hell of a lot less worried about it if it'd been BM too!). In fact it's only really been since she was one that i have tried to eoncourage food if she's not eating much (which was when i stopped using formula and switched her to cow juice). Even now there are days when she eats next to nothing and days (like today) when she eats her breakfast then mugs me for mine too!

By the time it comes to TT, stopping BFing and all the disciplining (when he's 3 and REALLY knows how to kick off) you're gonna be SO good at ignoring your mum

Hi Ryn

I have been reading some of your posts and I think you're doing a really good job with DS. I think you're doing the right thing in regards to the feeding. When my
DD is old enough I plan to do exactly the same thing that you're doing. No offense, but I think that your mother's advice is completely outdated. I know its easier said than done, but please don't listen to her. Don't doubt yourself. You are in the right.
