How do I know if my nearly 1 year old is getting enough solids?

Okay I know the answer I'll probably get is "trust your baby she will eat what she wants" but I am so unsure about solids still....breastfeeding I got DOWN. So easy! She knows when she is hungry and when she is full and I don't gotta prepare anything and I know by pees on a daily basis if she is getting enough. SO EASY for me! But with solids sometimes she'll eat real good and literally attack me for everything I eat all day long, then other times it's like PULLING TEETH to get her to open her dang mouth and eat! Ever since her ear infection she has been refusing solids, now that it is gone and she is better she is still only eating a little bit of solids and with turn her head or whine or just not open her mouth, and if she eats it herself she loses interest quick and just smashes it into her hair or some shit lol

So any tips on how I will know she is eating a good amount of solids would be appreciated, and also has anyone else's (almost) 1 year old done this and mostly survived off of breastmilk at this age? Personal experience would be great to hear from!

Well I got my daughter on a schedule and when it's time for breakfast/lunch/dinner I ask her if she's hungry and ready for whichever. If she's hungry she'll walk to her high chair. I literally leave it up to her but she's been doing good even if she skips. Also if she does skip I'll give her snacks 30mins-1hr later. Sometimes she prefers her snacks to a meal.

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page

solid foods Ok. I'm going to preface this by saying... I know that they recommend 6 months to start solids, because of open gut and whatnot. I've done my research so I know why to wait. But... My baby will be 6 months on the 30th. She can sit on her own, she does chewing motions with her mouth, while we are eating, can bring things to her mouth, can grab with her hands. She's literally showing all the signs of readiness and interest. Will it hurt my baby if I go ahead and start her on avacado or sweet potato, or is it best to wait the 2 weeks more?

I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

baby not satisfied with breastmilk

baby not satisfied with breastmilk My baby just hit 6mo. Just finished her growth spurt and my supply is perfect. I even have a slight over supply. However the past week or so she is not satisfied with her night feedings before bedtime. She's acting as if she's not getting enough or as though she needs something heavier to hold her over. But I'm positive I'm making enough milk. She gets solids about 1-2 hours before bedtime. I don't know what to do. If it makes a difference she weighs 14 pounds and always screaming for me to share whatever I'm eating.
