Not only the equalizing of one's lack with another's surplus, but also the relief you're experiencing from the oppression of pumping and mastitis.<br /><br />I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure that 540 ounces is more than I produced in my 6.5 months of pumping.

Our ped had me start her on solids at 4 months because she was at the 5th percentile (though I didn't have much extra milk to feed her). We started avocados and sweet potatoes and bananas at first. She initially sucked off my finger and quickly adjusted to eating from a spoon. The weight gain took off like crazy and she's been growing like a weed ever since. Maybe consider checking with your ped about introducing solids a little earlier to see if they'll help?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805727250430361509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-91464999137912273772013-03-20T23:45:50.741-04:002013-03-20T23:45:50.741-04:00Posts like this make me cry ...
