Baby nurses a lot but eats little solid food—is milk spoiling appetite?
⚡ Short answer: Yes, nursing right before meals can satisfy hunger; try solids 45-60 minutes after nursing; if weight gain is good, focus on variety not portion size.

My 10-month-old eats very little solid food but wants to nurse 6-7 times daily. Is milk killing his appetite for food?

Frequent nursing is very normal—at 10 months, breast milk is still the main nutrition and appetite fluctuates seasonally. Yes, nursing right before solids can fill baby up. Something you can try: offer solids 45-60 minutes after nursing, when baby is slightly hungry but not cranky from hunger. You could also let baby grab from your plate occasionally—seeing you eating often sparks interest. If weight gain looks good on the chart, focus on variety over portion size. This phase is temporary; trust the pattern.
