Ok, I was trying not to worry about this until I read the thread about how long a baby can be exclusively BF. DS has never really been interested in solids much, unless it's a potato chip (healthy kind only). I don't think he has a texture issue, as he will eat at least something in each texture category. But most days he will only eat the occasional soy chip, piece of apple or grape, or maybe a chunk of a green food bar. I would say that probably 90% of his nutrition is still BM. He's rather small framed, but seems healthy and happy. My biggest concern, in addition to worrying that he's getting enough to eat and that I have "done" this to him somehow, is that I'm just exhausted all the time. I want him to eat other foods, but I don't want him to wean until he's ready. But how do I encourage him to eat other foods if he just isn't interested? I offer him everything I am eating, and I buy fun toddler foods, but he just isn't having it. I also have tried serving food in every different way, in the highchair, on a booster seat, sitting on the kitchen floor - you name it! I need to slow down with the nursing for my own sanity. Most of my friends, even the more AP ones, say I should withhold BM and he'll get hungry enough, but this doesn't seem right to me. Any advice would be appreciated.
