Bottle or food

I was told milk until 12 months as that's their main nutritional source food is just for fun learning ect

Milk is still the main source of food until at least 12 months. I usually give my little one milk then 30 minutes later some solids. 😊

I do solids first.
This is what the raising children website says:

By around 9 months, babies have generally developed enough chewing and swallowing skills to move from having milk before solids to having milk after solids.
Here are signs that your baby is getting enough nutrition from both solids and breastmilk or formula during this time. Your baby:
has plenty of wet nappies – at least 6-8 wet cloth nappies or 5 very wet disposables in 24 hours
is alert and mostly happy after and between feeds
is gaining weight at about the right rate – your child and family health nurse will weigh your baby at your regular check-ups.
