Hi. I'm not sure if this should be posted on the breastfeeding post or here, but I'll try here. My daughter just turned 10 months old. I think that she eats a lot of solids, and I'm wondering if that's making her BF less and if that's bad for her. She'll eat two big bowls of rice with veggies and sometimes chicken for breakfast and lunch, and can eat two jars of fruit with rice cereal for dinner or breakfast (amounting to two big bowls). I don't usually feed her because she tends to be distracted when I feed her. When I do feed her she'll eat a bunch if a give her little pieces of what I'm eating, but not much out of her bowl. My husband, babysitter, etc. get her to eat a lot by playing with her. I'm worried that she's going to develop habits of eating even when not hungry. She now only breastfeeds for very short intervals (this has been going on for 2 months) and will only feed a lot at night. She wakes up twice a night to nurse which I let her do because I'm worried she's not getting enough breastmilk. She also has at least 3 big poops per day, which makes me think that she doesn't need to eat that much, but what do I know? I've read that they still get most of their nutrition from milk at this point. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Marica's mom
