oh, I would not have him talk to her, just don't let her know when the next appointment is!! LOL You might hurt her feelings. I think Cuyler dropped down to -2% at about 6 months, right now I think he is about 22%, he is very active, always has been. Don't know how any of my kids got so big, I threw up the whole time!! Cuyler would not eat baby food, watermelon was his first food, the ped had a fit, breast milk and water, she wanted to know where he got his protein! We switched dr. and they assured me he was a healthy child. With busy kids I find you need to feed them more, as soon as they are a little food, they are off and running again, life is too exciting to eat! Sounds like she is doing really well. Let her nurse a little longer a couple times a day, the milk at the end is suppose to have more fat! You are doing great, keep at it. ml ----- Original Message ----- From: "megan kerns" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "bfing" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2004 2:43 PM Subject: [bfing] Re: penelope at six months
