I don't agree that he is nearing one so it's ok to not worry. He needs the breastmilk WAY more than food until he is one. I'm not a fan of doing any food till one and am a big fan of extended breastfeeding and if need be formula.
His brain is very rapidly growing. He doesn't need much carb so stay away from more than ahalf slice of bread or a couple of ccrackers. Usually when the shun the bottle it is because they are filling up on cereal and fruit. His full serving of meat and veg should take about ten bites average and just a few minutes to feed. It's a VERY small amount of food for a reason.
bottle first then food
