Thanks ladies. I haven't been able to read your replies until now, appreciate all your feed back. perhaps I will talk to Mom about solids, the old me would do that, but I get so tired of parents thinking they have all the answers these days, ha ha seems every time I make a suggestion they have a better alternative, "my doctor said this" or "the books I read say this"....I guess I have become a little more of a "mind my own business and just do as they do" kind of provider these days, even if it does negetively affect my days....just so shocking that this baby at 5 months eats a 5-6 oz bottle every 1.5 to 2 hours or she screams bloody murder. will ask Mom if I can suppliment with rice cereal in between.
