BF vs Solids

My almost 10 month old still seems to really prefer BF over eating solids.  He will "snack" on solids 3-4 times a day but still isn't eating a whole lot of food during these times.  He continues to grow well (>100% for height and 90-something for weight) and his blood tests at his 9month physical came back ok.  Is this something I should be worried about?  Should I be encouraging him to eat solids more and BF less?  What have your experiences been?  TIA!

    If he wants BM let him. BM should continue to be the primary source of nutrition till a year. My daughter didn't really pick up on solids till just over a year and even at 15 months still prefers milk over solids. (I have a peanut). He will increase solids when he wants too. Continue to offer BM/nursing before meals at 10 months.

    Ok good.  I'm glad to hear that there's nothing wrong with how we're doing things and how he's eating.  Thanks!

    Sounds fine to me! DS is 11 months and solids didn't really "click" until last week or so. He was spacing his nursing sessions 3 hrs and biting/refusing to nurse before then. Now he gets breakfast, lunch, snack, and then dinner. He still nurses 6/7x a day. I always offer boob before food :)
