It was a honor to meet you last April!!! Great advice, as usual!! Her pediatrican wanted to start her on solids (at the time she had just turned four months); rice cereal was the recommendation. At birth she weighted 6lbs 13 oz at four months she was 11 lbs 13.5oz. I understand that on average babies double their birth weight by four months...she missed it by that 11oz, and that's based on an "average." Plus she has tons of wet/poopy diapers daily, is very alert, exceeding milestones and is overall a very healthy happy baby. I remembering the teachings from your "Feeding Baby Green," speaking to my mother and following my instinct - she is still going strong on exclusive breast milk. When she does demand to eat solids, it will be exclusively organic. Her pediatrican even suggested supplementing with formula. Red flags went up. I think it is time to find another pediatrican!
Thanks, Mrs. Abdul-Hakeem
