BM or water for solids?

When we first started cereal, I used BM. Now, we're mixing fruits/veggies with cereal... I've still been using BM, but I'm having a hard time keeping up with him. I'm an ounce or two short every day (but have a decent freezer stash)...

I'm thinking about just using water to thin the food down if it needs to be, but DH wants to keep using BM so that it's more nutritious. We make our own food, and I've been using BM for that as well, but may switch to water there also... WWYD?

    We mix with water. His intake of milk didn't change for the first month, we just added in solid food, so he didn't need the extra calories of the BM. I also hated mixing something with BM and then he wouldn't like it, or wouldn't finish it, and I'd end up wasting it. Unless you're cutting back on his milk, I think it's fine to mix with water if he'll eat it that way.
