Just wants solids

[Miracle babe]

Has anyone else found that once their little sweetheart has got a taste for solids then nothing else will do
I suppose I could take it as a compliment but all Rowan wants is mums home cooking, he positively looks at me with utter disgust if I bring out a bottle. He'd rather be noshing on a t bone steak, he even smiles and laughs if I mention bacon butties (he's not even tasted meat yet by the way )
I've worked out he has between 25-30 oz milk a day, is this ok as I thought milk should still be his main diet.
Here's his general day -
7am - 5oz milk
10 am - 6oz milk
12.30pm - Solids usually butternut squash, parsnip etc thickened with some porridge (its better than baby rice)
4pm - Banana puree or some fruit like papaya, mango etc
6.30 - 6-8oz
11pm - 8oz

Does this sound ok.? I'm really worried, I've even tried holding back on a solid feed and offering milk instead but all hell broke loose and he got so cross and upset I gave in.

Go Rowan!

Stanley's still not bothered about food and will choose milk every time, I'm struggling to get him interested at all

Milk is still the primary source of nutrition at his age and it sounds like he's getting plenty. I remember reading that a baby should have roughly 1.5oz each lb in weight (but don't quote me on that)

The food's just about introducing tastes for now.

Wow thanks Minxy that means Rowan should be having around 24oz a day. Thats really put my mind at rest.
