Baby prefers solids - worried about supply

Starting Solids

So my recently turned 8 mo loves to eat his meals! He has three meals a day and he gladly eats all of them. Problem is that now he nurses way less than what he used to before solids.

We introduced solids two months ago but it’s only been a month since he’s been eating proper three filling meals a day. Whenever I want to nurse him before or after his meals he drinks a little and then gets distracted to whatever’s going on in the room and pops off. The only time where he drinks a lot is before bedtime and some naps and during the night where he mostly stays latched on to me throughout the night since we cosleep (although not as much as before).

I’m worried this will lower my supply as my body will recognize that baby doesn’t need milk as much! Anyone else been through this and did your supply suffer? And any tips?
