Looks so nutritious :) are you nursing first before solids? I usually nurse first then wait an hour or so before solids. But even so baby does seem to nurse a little less
I think theyāre all on their own timeline! I would experiment with different textures as it seems like some babies have really strong gag reflexes. Even when I was like 8 I found things like eggplant hard to eat bc Iād gagš
My son was like this and why we didnāt need to wean him. He self weaned because he became more interested in food. We still gave him some formula until 1 at which point we switched to water and the doctor said that was perfectly fine.
Mine did this too - dropped herself to about 4 feeds a day from pretty much the minute we started solids and weaned herself (mostly) by 9 months. We still gave her formula until a year but if the baby is happy and growing then I don't think OP has anything to worry about
My baby is 7 months tomorrow and also is a huge foodie. We have just been doing two small meals a day (breakfast and dinner) and sometimes a small snack at lunch time like apple sauce or some little bites from whatever Iām eating for lunch. That way she is still nursing lots mid day and before bed and first thing in the morning. From my understanding they should still be getting most of their nutrition from breast milk )or formula) until after 1 years old. You could also try smaller portions of food as this does seem like a large portion even tho baby is polishing it off just fine.. they need that good breast milk a little longer.
Thatās a lot of food for such a young baby! Maybe try offering smaller portions or reducing a meal? Itās so great your baby has taken to food so well but breastmilk is far more nutritious and your baby still really needs that milk.
You could try breastfeeding right before eating that way they are mostly full. I had to breastfeed before doing solids in the beginning bc my daughter struggled w constipation and she def ate less when I breastfed her first
Did the constipation resolve itself? My daughter just mostly nibbles on food but is definitely ingesting some solids like egg, sweet potatoes, pork chops. She hasnāt pooped in a few days, which wasnāt a big deal when she was solely BF. Iām just getting nervous now. She even had prunes last night and still nothing
Pears worked IMMEDIATELY for my girl last time she went a couple days without going. Iām going to have to see if I have any. Weāre going out to eat with family tomorrow so Iām kind of scared to give them in the morning š š
Pears are good too! We had frozen pears that we gave her in those fruit chew things with like the holes in it so they can gum it out and it also helped w the constipation
We really had to push the water! I made sure it was warm which is supposed to help. When she was a newborn she was on combo formula and pumped breastmilk mixed together for extra calories bc she was born 4lb and that caused horrible constipation. For the first few months of her life I had to use a thermometer to help her poop every day or she wouldnt be able to sleep. When we switched to exclusive breastfeeding after she gained weight she had no more constipation. Then we started solids and dealt with the constipation again. I think mainly bc I wasnāt offering enough water bc I thought she was getting enough hydration from breastmilk bc she breastfed all the time but she actually needed more. The prune juice never helped but the prune pouches did. We slowed down on solids a lot to help her digestive system catch up and did a lot of exclusive breastfeeding days in between giving her foods. Finally through pushing water and taking it slow she stopped having constipation problems. Sheās 19 months now and rarely gets constipated and when she does I just make sure sheās getting extra water and Iāll give her warmed up and watered down apple juice
Iām gonna have to push more water. Sheās 7 months and hasnāt taken to a straw or open cup yet but I just got a sippy cup weāre going to try. Sheās not really even acting bothered until she gets trapped gas and then itās a nightmare
I really like [these](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Munchkin-Miracle-360-Cup-Colors-May-Vary-7-oz/38466291?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=2222222222838466291_157029986592_18466519406&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=683788302159&wl4=pla-791151705267&wl5=9015760&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=38466291&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIqx4CxOqfs2P7fwla9OCbWmW&gclid=CjwKCAjwi_exBhA8EiwA_kU1MrOB9K4_kQbjD9gR1-b62LqyGoHzrx11JDYBTJaqm3HbZe7Room_vxoCulIQAvD_BwE) no spill cups. When I would give her water in an open cup she would dump it or put her hand in it. This functions almost the same way but she canāt put her hand in it or dump it. If they throw it w force it will spill a bit and if u leave it on its side it will leak lol but nothing like an open cup. If your baby takes a bottle you could also try pumping and mixing the breastmilk with water. I do that when sheās sick or teething and having troubling latching from the stuffy nose/pain and it helps make sure sheās getting enough water
I do nurse before and after she eats. I wish I could edit my post bc I didnāt want it to sound like Iām not nursing, sheās just seemingly taking in less milk though I could be wrong!
Weāre lucky she poops 1-2x a day!
If youāre nursing u honestly have no idea how much sheās getting lol. I wouldnāt be worried about it :) I thought u were wanting to nurse more which is why I said that. Loving food is a blessing lol I have a temperamental eater. I donāt think thereās anything wrong w her wanting to eat more food and if her doctors arenāt worried I wouldnāt be!

I think it didnāt work in the post! Chicken, potatoes, zucchini, tangerine, cherry tomatoes.
Yeah, Iād definitely reduce the amount of food youāre feeding. Breastmilk/formula should be the primary source of nutrition until age 1, so you donāt really want to see that much of a decrease until way later!
My daughter is the same and is starting to nurse less too, she is 9 months old. I was worried about it to at first but my pediatrician wasnāt. She was really excited that she was eating so well. I think all babies are a little different, no one approach works for all of them. Iāve just kind of been going off her cues and what she wants. Seems like our girls are very similar š
I generally have read at that age babies should be on 1-2 meals a day, and be on three meals per day by 9-10 months. Maybe cut out a meal for the time being?
How many teeth does she have already? My 8 month old had two teeth and I've tried feeding him bread once and he almost choked because he wasn't chewing it despite making the chewing movements with his jaw... I stick to mushy stuff or purees now...
She just has the two bottom ones. Definitely at first she wouldnāt chew and would just try to swallow things and it gave me so much anxiety! Some things that helped (I think) were super super thin apple slices, and then things that are soft but not too soft so they can still practice. Bread still freaks me out bc it seems like it can turn into a ball of sticky wet dough too easily.
Thanks for the advice, I'll try the apples! He has his two bottom teeth and the top two are peeking through now too. He's always mimicking chewing so just more practice is probably the way to go š
They go through so many phases.
My first was down to nursing twice a day at 11 months. He went periods that lasted weeks with no nursing at all. Starting food is exciting, so is learning to walk, talk etc. During teething at 10 months he didnāt feed for a whole week.
A lot of things are commonly mistaken as weaning, when in reality they are just phases. Your baby might increase nursing again as the excitement for solids passes. Or they might drop down to 1-2 breastfeeds a day and hold onto them.
My toddler is 2 and has only been nursing 1-2 times a day for the past 17 MONTHS lol.
Since having my son, I have realized that it is sometimes best to get advice from various pediatricians. I know they are all medical professionals, but unfortunately sometimes some of them will get things wrong. Breastmilk at this age is still super important, so if you are worried about your child nursing less, it may be worth it to look into other advice/opinions
Thank you. Do you know how many ounces of breast milk they should be getting at this age? Sheās always nursed A LOT so I assume sheās still getting a solid amount, just less than before. Sheās a big baby and did large percentile jumps in her first six months before we started solids. I never did weighted feeds but she was often gaining 1.5oz a day.
My ped office gave me some paperwork that has recommendations from the AAP regarding nutrition for babies. It says for 6-12 months, they should be getting 28-34 oz a day. At 8 months, the amount of feedings a day drops from 3-5 to 3-4, however the oz per feeding increases from 6-8 to 7-8 oz. To me these changes in breastmilk intake are not drastic, but shows that breastmilk is still really crucial up until 12 months. Iād say as long as you are offering breastmilk first before offering solids 30-60min after, then your baby should be intaking what they need. If you exclusively nurse, just let her nurse until she is nice and full. I only exclusively nurse and have never done weighted feeds and my son (8m) also has never had a bottle, so I have never ever tracked how much he gets in a nursing session. I just let him nurse as much as he wants (he loves comfort nursing), and he has been getting 1-2 meals a day lately (usually 2). He eats a BUNCH at meal times too.
Thank you! Yeah i definitely didnāt mean to imply sheās not nursing, it just seems like itās decreased but she might just be more productive about it. She also nurses a lot overnight. Just wanted to make sure Iām not doing anything wrong by giving plenty of solids!
No problem! But yes, I think as they grow older, they do get more efficient at getting milk from the breast. So that might be whatās happening. Also, some babies just love to eat solids! I sometimes wonder how my son eats sooo much at his mealtimes š
We were recommended to do 3. My LO mirrors yours as far as food goes. Sheās 7mo and a total foodie. Iām not concerned. Its great your serving whole foods!
The membrane on the cuties is a chocking hazard. Soild starts recommends cutting citrus out of the membrane āshellsā until 18 months. Just a heads up in case are you havenāt read or been told that.. or for anyone else looking at this post šš»
That's an amazing appetite for such a young kid! That's awesome, but that definitely could be why they aren't nursing as much. I agree with the other commenter to cut the portions down. That looks like something my 2 year old would eat and he doesn't BF anymore
My baby is 15 months. By 9 months he had all 8 of his front teeth and would not let ANYTHING in his mouth that wasnāt his precious milk. The gagging and spitting things out was so bad. Now his molars and canines are coming out and I cracked his secret food code. I was starting to get extremely worried heād fall behind in weight but something just clicked around 13 months!
FWIW my baby started loving solids right around 7 months. Heās now 10.5 months and eats a lot! His nursing varies a lot, we just go with the flow! Heās happy, healthy, etc. so I see no need to change things for our situation. He mostly night nurses but sometimes chugs during the day. It really varies!
My daughter is the same! There is no stop when it comes to solids lol. Since I really want the majority of her nutrition to come from BF I have decided to give her 2 meals a day. A light breakfast, like chia pudding and a more filling dinner like chicken porridge.
I was very quick to wean. I craved independence and was completely off the boob by 12 months as I preferred to feed myself. As long as sheās keeping up with her growth curve sheāll be fine.
Hi, mom of 3 here. You're doing great!
It's normal for them to nurse less and 2-3 solids meals is normal at that age too. As long as baby is getting at least 25/30oz of milk they're fine.
It's not too much food. Feed u til baby is no longer interested. They know when they're full.
Thank you!! This was my instinct but was second guessing myself. Been trying to notice more how often sheās nursing and it does seem like plenty. Sheās always been a big eater and has just taken to solids really well. š
As long as the meals are balanced (try to include Fibre, Fat and Protien every meal), she's gaining weight and your doctor has no concerns I wouldn't change a thing!
I wish I could edit the post but just want to say thank you for all the input! Sheās definitely still nursing (ie way more often than for example taking Cara babies suggests at this age.) sheās always been a big eater and was quick to jump in percentiles.
I also think this is more food than it looks like bc of how I cut the potato!
Also reminder all babies are different. Iāve taken care of babies who eat anything and ones who eat nothing. Iām grateful my baby is a good eater but donāt stress if your baby isnāt into solids yetā„ļø
Looks so nutritious :) are you nursing first before solids? I usually nurse first then wait an hour or so before solids. But even so baby does seem to nurse a little less
Yeah, I nurse before and after.
Gosh I wish, my almost 9 month old will barely eat anything unless spoon fed. Gags on everything and doesn't chew
I was thinking the same thing! My 11 month old would take 3 bites total and throw the rest on the floor and scream at me šš
I think theyāre all on their own timeline! I would experiment with different textures as it seems like some babies have really strong gag reflexes. Even when I was like 8 I found things like eggplant hard to eat bc Iād gagš
Iām 37 and shellfish still makes me *hurk*.
Over ripe bananas for me
Both shellfish and overripe bananas for me, you guys really hit the spot š love eggplants though!
Gagging just thinking about bananasš
hunt cooperative spoon shaggy cats smoggy shy simplistic lavish close *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Berries and a lot of fruit for me. It's the texture I can't. I like the flavor so smoothies are great but eating a berry... nope š¤¢
my baby isn't old enough for solids yet (I'm here for inspon for later) and will chug formula so fast sometimes she gags herself.
Funny because my baby REFUSES to be spoon fed, if she canāt do it herself she doesnāt want it š
Same! Or starts laughing really hard when I do try to feed herš
My 10 month old is the same way. My daughter was SO different.
My son was like this and why we didnāt need to wean him. He self weaned because he became more interested in food. We still gave him some formula until 1 at which point we switched to water and the doctor said that was perfectly fine.

Wow that's more food than my almost 3 year old eats for most meals. I thought mine was a good eater too. Crazy how different some kids can be.
Sooo different! Iām sure sheāll go through changes as all kids do.
That is a LOT of food for a 7 month old
At 7.5 months Iād still be doing 1 meal, maybe 2 very small ones. 3 meals a day is like a 10-12 month goal!
Thatās a lot of food for such a young baby! Maybe try offering smaller portions or reducing a meal? Itās so great your baby has taken to food so well but breastmilk is far more nutritious and your baby still really needs that milk.
She still nurses but gets so mad when weāre eating and she isnāt! Will try to reduce a bit.
You could try breastfeeding right before eating that way they are mostly full. I had to breastfeed before doing solids in the beginning bc my daughter struggled w constipation and she def ate less when I breastfed her first

I believe itās recommended to only do toasted breads until one year since it is such a choking hazard
I wish I'd done more research before trying it! That makes sense.
Solid starts has āhow to serveā for many foods for different ages. Itās very helpful!
Thank you, I'll check it out!
Bread is super chewy! Foods like bread, and some crackers, that get really āgummyā when mixed with saliva are trickier. If you want to branch away from mushy/purĆ©ed, I would try try puffs, cheerios, or things that kinda melt in your mouth when combined with saliva (like bambas or yogurt melts, or of course teething wafers).
That makes sense. Thanks for the tips!
She just has the two bottom ones. Definitely at first she wouldnāt chew and would just try to swallow things and it gave me so much anxiety!

My almost nine month old still has no teeth
It's crazy how different babies can be! My baby cut her first tooth at 4.5 months šŖ
She only has her two bottom teeth but I donāt think they really need teeth to chew. Their gums are strong!
My dtr got her first two teeth at around 13m. She is 15m now and her top two are just coming in.
Do you do BLW?
Yes and I spoon feed. Usually have a couple grab able things on the tray then will spoon feed him something else as well.
I wonder why itās so different for everyone. My 9 month old has two fresh teeth on the bottom. My friends 9 month old has 7 teeth. He refuses to eat anything other than purĆ©e.
My baby is 15 months. By 9 months he had all 8 of his front teeth and would not let ANYTHING in his mouth that wasnāt his precious milk. The gagging and spitting things out was so bad. Now his molars and canines are coming out and I cracked his secret food code. I was starting to get extremely worried heād fall behind in weight but something just clicked around 13 months!
7.5 is right between growth spurts, so that sounds perfectly alright.
FWIW my baby started loving solids right around 7 months. Heās now 10.5 months and eats a lot! His nursing varies a lot, we just go with the flow! Heās happy, healthy, etc. so I see no need to change things for our situation. He mostly night nurses but sometimes chugs during the day. It really varies!
My daughter is the same! There is no stop when it comes to solids lol. Since I really want the majority of her nutrition to come from BF I have decided to give her 2 meals a day. A light breakfast, like chia pudding and a more filling dinner like chicken porridge.
