My son is 6 months old now and he is still breastfeeding every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. I started giving him two solid meal, sometimes one only depends on if he cranky in the morning or not - when he is fussy and fuyy, he hasno patience to take solid food, do I just have to teach him to teach solid or should I just give him the breast???
So sometimes he only finish half the portion, he is not fll enough then I end up giving him the breast.
Any suggestions?

Hello Mermaidivy, I think the best is option two, let him eat half the portion and them give him the bre..st. My first son just wanted to bre..st feed, and I allowed it to him, because it was easier to my to pacify him. (He doesn´t like too many vegetables now,. nor fruits, even shamefully he doesn´t recognize between some fruit names)
With my second son... I regreted and changed the way I fed the first. I let my children be hungry. He cried a lot, poor baby, but I fed him very well with his solid meals. As he was hungry he ate almost everything, and then to pamper him, I gave him the br..ast. He eats now quite well all kind of vegetables, he love them even raw. And he loves many kinds of fruits too.
I hope this can help you. Blessings!... Dainy

Now he has a new problem - he closes his mouth tight when I feed him(see my other discussion)

Have you tried to feed him a bit of baby cereal in the mornings? I know mine use to fill up pretty good with the baby cereal. If you are not try that and see because it is sort of heavy and filling. Since he is growing he is requiring more, you can also try some puree potatoes and sweet potatoes, those are bit heavier and filling also.

I wonder if it is because he is a big size baby so he just needs to eat more. I give him carrot + mushy rice(real rice) in the evening and sometimes before noon and he still wants to eat every 3 hours so I think he has a very good appetitie.
