should i introduce snacks?

[LISAMJS]

hi DS is 5.5 mo. He is on 3 meals a day but for some reason not eating as much at the mo he is dribbling loads so I expect he is teething. Should I start to introduce the odd snack throughout the day like a piece of banana? Also does anyone know of any good websites which have details on the best way to wean a baby and foods to introduce at different stages at all? Thanks xx

At 5 1/2 months milk is still his main source of nutrition so I'd not worry tbh. So long as he is still having his milk feeds I'd say he was getting enough. Food contains far less calories etc than milk and is really not something his body relies on to run at this age.

Babies go through phases and some days or weeks won't eat as much. I'd not worry overly about it.
