too much food?
My son is 9 months and when I feed him, he clears his tray and could keep eating if you gave him more. My mom babysat for a few hours last night and fed him what I suggested but because he kept eating she gave him more and more food. She said he was really hungry but I think he just likes to eat. He was too full to breastfeed after that and even later that night he didn't feed well. I obviously will not be repeating that scenario but I am curious how much a 9 month old should be eating in ounces a day. I know he doesn't need any food technically but since he loves eating food as much as he loves breastfeeding, and as long as it doesn't interfere with breastfeeding...what's the rule of thumb amount wise?
Also I haven't read anything about BLS but my son eats his food on his own except for runny food like applesauce or yogurt. If he is doing so well eating food at this point, does this mean he should wean soon? I intended to breastfeed -even with my low supply- to about a year and a half, even if its just a few times a day.
