Hi! LO is just over 8 months and we started solids, baby led weaning style, at 6 months. I really want to nurse for 1 year and so I've been following kellymom'ssuggestion of 1 meal at six months, 2 from 7-9, 3 after that. I know every baby is different but how many meals do you give your 8 month old (or did your 8 month old)? Mine seems ok not doing a third meal but when we are out to eat I offer food, even if its a third meal for te day and he seems to love it so I'm considering adding it in. Also,would love to hear how you plan out food for te day (dairy+fruit for breakfast, protein and veg for lunch, etc?). When did you start offering snacks in addition and what kind? Thank you!

I fed my baby three meals starting at 7 months - because she seemed to want it. She'd fuss midday without a lunch. She also nursed like CRAZY, and still does at 13 months. I'd go ahead and let them eat as many solids as they want - I personally think that a fully breastfed baby is very unlikely to wean fully to solids before a year. And if they do, it's probably the right nutrition choice for them anyway.
