I can't believe how time flies.

Here are her stats:

Weight: 14lb 12oz (80th percentile)..... Megan at 4 months was 14lb 6oz (it was the one month that she was a little on the chubby side)

Height 24 1/2 " (70th percentile).....same as Megan at 4 months.

She has decided that she only really likes to breastfeed during the night (still waking up 2 times) and first thing in the morning.....occasionally I can get her a bit of BF in the afternoon.....so unfortunately I think we are almost done there.....I don't think that I have much milk left. I am taking pills to increase my milk supply, but don't think that they are working for me as well as they did with Megan

We started Rachel on some cereal today...so it wasn't very much, but still hard to believe that she is already ready for food.

Congrats Rachel!! 4 months and cereal what a treat. I hope the milk supply comes up more have you tried pumping after she eats?

Wow, so big! She is beautiful. How did she grow so fast?! No advice on the breastfeeding, just feeling your pain.

Way to Grow Rachel! :D

Sorry about the decrease in milk supply. Sorry I don't have any advice.

Sounds like she's doing great! I'll post a thread with my little oinker's stats too!

Wow... time does fly! She's growing so good!!! Yeah, I agree the best advice is to pump after she nurses or at least every 3 hours if she won't nurse to keep up your supply if you are interested. Good luck!!!

What a cutie pie!! GL keeping up your supply. I agree with pumping it will stop you from drying up...she may change her mind yet!
