I occasionally give DD more solids but usually just give her more BM.

I would probably give her more. My chunker eats an entire jar at each sitting. 

AND... your new siggy is so adorable!

awwww.....thanks  

i BF (she empties me!) about an hour before i give her solids and she gets cranky when it is gone--she keeps leaning forward with her mouth open and fusses once she realizes i am not giving her anymore.  and it is only in the evening not in the morning.

Just a question... If you pump how much do you get? How much do you give in a bottle?

i gave up pumping.....she refused the bottle and we tried for 3 weeks straight and all it did was stress P, DH and myself out so i gave up. 

the pedi said her weight was fine at her 6 month appt. 2 weeks ago.  do you think maybe she isn't getting enough from me?

I'm sure she is getting enough from you! I just wanted to compare how much you get when you pump because I feel like I was getting wrapped up in how much EPers get which is way more than I get. You know Friend, I just worry

I always feed DD until she refuses. Babies self-regulate, so she'll turn her head or spit it out when she's full.

My doctor keeps telling me if she wants more, give her more.  At this point, she eats at least 2 jars at lunch time, and at least 3 jars at dinner time.  There have been points where she eats more.  Plus, at night, she gets an 8 oz bottle usually about an hour or so later.  She also snacks all day long between bottles.

even when i did pump, i never got nearly as much as the EPers say they could get.  so i have no idea how many oz she gets, my pedi had just said we would go by her weight and as long as she had enough wet/dirty diapers etc........

and don't you worry!!  Kane looks like he is a healthy well fed boy!

Thank you so much for posting!   I thought I had the only kid who wasn't "dainty" and didnt push away after 3 bites.

Posting about this now....

Just follow her lead. She'll let you know when she's done.

Sometimes DD will eat 6 oz of food and sometimes (like tonight), she'll just have a bite or two.
