My 7 month old acts like that alot of times. FIrst of all, he has a strong preference for bieng nursed to sleep wiht me laying in bed with him. Second, he is highly distractable, especially if dd is in the room. it is a MUST for him to see what she is doing. And also sometimes he does get frustrated when I am having a low day. He also has a side preference and while he will take the left side half the time, the other times when i really need him to take it, I have to get creative with positions for him to do so. Like laying on my right side and feeding him with the top breast. Or sometimes, but not really often he will eat sitting in my lap rather than laying. He also likes to have frequent snacks. The only time he really tanks up is when he is going to sleep.
As for how often, mine still nurses pretty often, but I am going very slowly with foods for him due to food allergies. He eats three days a week at the sitters while I work. And that is only because he does not take a bottle too well. The only food he really gets is applesauce. Pretty easy on the tummy. I think every child is different. Unless the change is sudden and drastic or he is unconsolable, he is most likely doing well.
