DS is 8 months old now and has been on solids for a few months now but he only has one meal a day and sometimes a few chomps at something I'm eating, he's not interested in having more right now BUT I've had a few people tell me, mainly women in their 50's about how he's old enough now to be on 3 meals a day. He's been in the 95th percentile for weight pretty much from day dot so I figure he's not starving and he's never been sick and is always full of energy so I don't think he's unhealth. Mainly I get told after I say he still wakes up once or twice a night and takes about half a bottle before he goes back to sleep. It's always "Oh if he had more solids he would sleep better, he'd have a full tummy, you're doing this to yourself" It's gotten to the point where they buy me baby food for him even though they know I prefer to make his myself and it just sits in the cupboard unused . Should he be on 3 proper meals a day or is it okay to keep letting him have a proper dinner and some snacking until he wants more?
