Amount of BM, formula, solids 9mos

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I am a little worried that DD is reducing the amount of BM/Formula too much in favor of solids.  For forever it seemed like she was barely eating any solids and in the last couple weeks she is eating a lot more.  I EP and supplement with formula.  We changed from Similac advance to Gerber Good Start Gentle because we think the Similac was causing constipation.  The Good Start seems to have helped with the constipation but she doesn't seem to like it as much so I think that may be exacerbating things.

 Here is her eating schedule for yesterday

7:00am 6 oz breast milk

8:35 .75 oz apple blueberry, 2 oz prune, water 

11:10 3oz formula

1:35 3oz formula

5:30 1.5oz prune juice diluted with water, 5oz prune (she had a couple firm poops so I was afraid she was getting constipated.)

6:00 3oz breast milk

Normally, her "dinner" wouldn't have been so close to her last bottle but that's just the way the day  went.  Also, I have more breast milk today so I can see if she eats more when I give her breast milk for the 2nd feeding.  

 Does this seem like not enough BM/formula?

    My little guy has never been big on drinking his bottles so eats a lot of solids.  He only drinks about 18oz formula and has 3 "meals" a day usually 12-15 oz total of purees.

    Our pediatrician told us to feed 20-24 oz a day of formula up from 7-10 months and from there no less than 16 oz. You LO seems to be eating less than this, however, as a whole, her food intake seems to be very small anyway. My LO seems to also have a s
