pureed feeds to soilds switch over, age 1 year

My son is 1yr old his birthday was on the 3rd Jan, we have started to give him pure food when he was 6months old but now he is refusing the pure food and wants to eat from our food which means solid food. My problem is than now I cant measure if he is getting enough food...
> His diet is based on:
> breakfast : 4 spoolfull rice cereal with hot water, at around 11.00 banana and orage
> At around 1/2.00- usually 1 cup of pure vegetables mixed with fish / chicken or meat, but as i told you above he is refusing this type of food
> at around 3.00 he drink breast milk
> at around 4.30 he takes a cup of yogurt
> and at around 7 - again pure food ( when he get it)
> and then he drinks breast milk to sleep
> this is his diet, do you think that he is doing well by eating these goods and what about the portion of his solid food?

read infant feeding articles at http://infantfeeding.blogspot.com
you need to taper milk further, promote him eating dietary solids but see to it that he wont take nut or particles that can cause choking. feed him easy to chew and easy to swallow, overcooked solids mixed ro mashed with potatoes, fish, chicken etc
offer feeds 6-8 times a day, if he is growing well with good weight and milestones.. its likely that you are giving enough. no need to measure things, just see to it that he doesnt remain hungry.
