Solids and Milk Feeds

ok, so I looked back on topic for the last 6 months and couldn't really find what I ws after, so what the hey, just start up a new one. heres the LATEST drama (ha ha seems like I lurch from one to the other..)
#1
Jake eats 3 good feeds a day, but, but not too keen on his meat and veg at night, would rather have fruit than veg or meat and veg etc. Should I be bothered?
#2
Wont B/f before a meal, just wants solids. Some times I give him a bottle, sometimes I just persevere, but it is sooooo hard. At the mo, the only B/F he is having is his middle of the night one, makes me sad!
is this normal? (plunket nurse said sometimes they go off b/f when teething?0
So how much bottle should I give him/ how much milk should he be drinking at this age? At the mo He has 2 240ml bottles (at care) and his B/f at 4.30am and I am giving him water as well. Should he be having more??
Thanks in advance!!

He's nearly 10kgs (about 9.7 or 9.8 with nappy and top on at plunket the other day)so he's not starving! I'd really like to keep feedinghim, but I really don't know how many times a day they are "meant" to feed if they are on 3 solid feeds a day?
I wondered if he is hungary and thats why hes waking but to be honest I think he is either lazy (dosent want to wait for let down) and not worried or just taking bottle if I offer it cos he can? I dunno *shakes head*
Sleeping still BAD but not as bad as it was...

I can't remember what jake ate honestly. We just went with the flow I think. I stopped breastfeeding at 4 months, so we had Jake on formula. I'm pretty sure he was having a bottle in the morning and night, and one or two during the day. He was a hungry wee lad so ate quite a bit. Jake loved his veges, but even now, is not so keen on meat all the time - he varies day to day.

james is still having 5 bottles a day one reduced and 1 and half soild feeds a day but he started late on soilds (6)months so sorry i no help

oooh just went back and read something you said Jacobsmum..... about him either being lazy or something..

you might find that he has become accustomed to getting milk very easily from the bottles... therefore does get lazy and impateient cos it's a heck of alot more work and longer to wait for let down. Ayja does the same when i've been on placement and she's had heaps of bottles. (Family is pressuring me to stop B/fing... we'll see how well she goes while i'm on placement.. alot of changing routines but she did well last time)

When Jake was teething with his molars he would only eat veges. He adored KFC potato and gravy. Probably not very good for him, but as it was the only thing he'd eat i figured oh well.
