My LO (8 months) seems to need more milk than ever now that she is mobile. Just wondering when solids will start to become more important. Right now she doesn't eat much.

This depends so much on your individual LO. I have a friend who BFs and her LO started going crazy on the solids and nursing way, way less by as early as 8 months (when they don't recommend cutting down milk that early)--but her LO wanted real food and not milk and she's perfectly healthy.
My LO is the opposite--still prefers milk over solids and when she has a growth spurt she drinks more BM as opposed to eating more foods and she 11 months.

Around 8 months she started eating more, but still nursed a TON. Now at ten months she really eats a lot, and only nurses 4 times during the day.

Around 9 months I noticed a significant decrease in both my output and my DD's appetite for milk.

I kind of forced it on Xander, but I cut out a feed around 9 months (it was a dream feed anyway), so he ended up getting less milk then.
By 10 months, I think we were on 3 meals a day, but he was still drinking a ton. It wasn't until 12 months when we took away his bottles that he really started drinking less and eating more!

We're almost at 10 months, and she seems to be nursing less on days when I make sure she eats a full three meals (and sometimes a snack). I've had to make a conscious effort to drop a feed during the day- she would much rather nurse 24/7 than eat.

9 months. He went from taking 6/7oz bottle per feeding to 4oz.

Maybe around 9-10 months? I only noticed because my supply dropped while pumping.

9-12 months, we started gradually introducing the option for her to eat proper foods at mealtime, but I would usually "top her off" after. Then as she actually ate more, she needed less topping off.

LO started eating more at 9 months, but still has not decreased nursing/breast milk bottles at 10 months. Introducing table food really helped.

About 14-15 months but I didn't push solids and I'm happy to continue nursing so solid intake isn't a huge issue for us.
