he is not very interested in anything other then breast milk, straight from
the source. Will eventually take some EBM. NOt very interested in the
range of solids, such as rice cereal, fruit, veg, whatever. will put a
cruskit in his mouth but is still a bit little for this i think.

so, any thoughts? i want him to be taking in a bit more external food.
ideally i want to wean him off me now but i wont go into that her, not the
forum for that i know!

Have you tried actual table food instead of the purees? Some babies don't
care for purees and want to go straight to the table. Also, it's not unusual
for seven month olds to not be so interested in solid foods still.

Ok, but you are weaning him to formula, right? If you wean before one year
he will need formula. I think you should talk to your pediatrician about
this.

hmmmm, will try some more table foods. he does have 8 teeth! my first son
was interested in solid food the minute he saw it, i think i was spoiled!

Well, then as long as he's getting enough whether it is formula or
breastmilk, I wouldn't worry about the solids for now. It's still a bit on
the early side. Both my kids could have cared less until about 9 months.

My first son was like that. We just continued to offer every day and he ate
when he was ready which was around 10mos. It was stressful because he went
to the sitter and wouldn't eat anything or take bottles but he wasn't going
to change his mind ;-) He grew, gained, and developed perfectly fine with
nursing alone. He might have started a little earlier but he was sick for a
long spell at 9mos but I don't believe there is anything to do other then
offer food and try various foods (table foods, purees, hot, cold, different
flavors etc.).

Sorry for sticking my nose in, but he is just starting solids, right?
To avoid certain types of reactions, it is best to continue breast
milk for at least 3 to 4 months after introducing foods containing
gluten. The reactions are not frequent, but when they occur they
are serious.

And I've never heard of breastfeeding preventing allergic reaction to
gluten.
