My daugther is super tiny. In only the 4 percentile range for height and weight. I haven't feed her much solids until like a week ago. She get rice cereal and fruit in the morning and veggies and rice cereal at night. She is a super pig when it comes to that. She also gets cheerios or something like that sometimes in the afternoon. I bring this up because my dr said that he felt I should feed her more solids but if it was my philosiphy and she continued to be proportionite then it was ok.

I started giving her more solids because she is down to about 3-4 feedings in a 24 hour period, sometimes 5 times. She gets a feeding at about 7-730, then gets up for the morning between 8-9, she gets her fruit/cereal, then 2 hours later she gets a nap. She naps for an hour and then nurses when she gets up. Sometimes she'll get cheerios or something like that. Then 2-3 hours later she gets another nap. Thats usualy about 1-2 pm. She naps for another hour or so. Then again at about 4-5. Then she gets her dinner at about 6 and sometimes nurses after that. Then she wakes up between 1-2 and nurses.

But she doesn't nurse very long. Only about 10 minutes or so. I was worried about that so I pumped one day to see how much I could get. I got 4 oz from just one side. But lately since she's only been eating 3-4 times a day I've noticed that my breasts feel. . . . deflated I guess. Im so used to them getting so full. Is that just because my body has adjusted to my milk supply? Do you guys think she's getting enough breast milk in a 24 hour period. I nursed all 3 but I went back to school when Ian was only 3 weeks old and he started not wanting to nurse and wanted only formula. I pushed it as long as I could but finally gave up at 3 months. Aidan nursed until 6 1/2 months, when the same thing started happening like what is with Kiara. On top of that he would stop biting me. We were going to Iowa for 2 weeks, so I just gave up and put him on formula. But now I'm wondering if maybe I should have pushed it. I really really want to nurse for at least a year if not longer. I definetly don't want to put her on formula right now. I hate the stinky stuff! Do you think she is ok. Oh and she is super tiny like I said. She will be 8 months old on March 1st and at 6 mo 3 wks she only weighed 13 lbs 11 oz and was 24 1/2 inches long. And is in the 4th percentile. I know it doesn't mean a whole lot, but I'm worried aoubt her not really gaining weight. And don't want to be pushed into formula. I want to know that she's ok , and Im not doing the wrong thing and not let the dr mislead me.
