Not sure if this is a growth spurt or not, it seems to be going on permanently (started around 2 wks ago at 9.5months).
He's never been much of a milk drinker (silent reflux) but recently has taken larger quantities of milk (maybe reflux improving, maybe growth spurt?) and he is totally DESPERATE for his solids meals. When he's at a meal he eats as though he's been starved all week.
He's had 3 meals per day since 6 months and I've introduced snacks recently at the 11.30 and 3.30 milks but he is still clamouring for solids meals.
He self feeds and I always let him eat until he is full. Is it a growth spurt or is it a small tummy but a big food need? Or maybe he wants solids more frequently to help his silent reflux? So far he is still taking a good amount of solids at meals times, but I suppose I'm a bit worried that we could end up grazing throughout the day rather than having decent meals.
He's a smallish boy, between 9th and 25th centile, no chubbiness at all, and has had steady weight since birth.
any thoughts?
