Apparently this is what I'm supposed to do to encourage P to eat more solids! Yep... that's basically what our Pedi told us today since P is still low on the percentiles. UGH!

It's so frustrating! She's had good growth since her last visit, moving up in % a good bit in her weight and head circumference, but for our pedi it's still not enough and he's suggesting ftt if she doesn't start eating more solids and gaining more. (she's already at the suggested 2 1/2 times her birthweight by 1 year)

I sit her with me for all meals and attempt to feed her whatever I'm eating AND some happy baby happy tot purees... she just spits everything out and swallows MAAAYBE 1 out of every 10 bites. She's meeting her milestones and is lively and VERY active, but apparently that's not enough and our pedi wants me to nurse her less often because "She'll eat the solids if she's hungry enough".

And to think... this visit actually went better than the last! Blegh... sometimes I miss the city and having more options when it comes to providers. So glad I don't have to worry about it for another 3 months!

ETA: I would LOVE a new pedi! Unfortunately in our very medicalized community we have very few options for non-intervening doctors and ours is the most bf supporting non-pushy pedi in the area. =(
