Still not eating much?
Anyone else's babes still not eating very much?
My little boy is super enthusiastic about food, if you're eating he needs some but he will just bite it and spit it out 90% of the time
He will eat purees and Weetabix and they say he eats at nursery but from what I've seen at home I don't believe it.
I'm concerned that breast milk alone isn't going to be enough for him much longer, he's always been a small baby 2nd percentile from birth.
Is this something that I should be speaking to someone about? Health visitor? Gp?
(Pic of the trail of cucumber he left across my kitchen floor for reference)

@Tamsine is that because he's doing similar, not eating much?
@Hannah We found out after doing a 2 week food diary that he'll try a bit of everything and enjoy but, especially proteins, a lot ends up on the floor
You could try dropping a feed and replacing it with food, or giving him food before a feed instead of afterwards so he’s hungrier. But it is best to speak to the health visitor to at least weigh him and make sure he’s still gaining weight x
