solids and breastfeeding

[allysmom]

I am worried that my 9 month old daughter is not getting enough milk.  Let me mention that she doesn't sleep and we are going to try EASY and PU/PD.  A "normal" day for us is:

awake at 6 or earlier--nurse
cereal and fruit around 8-9am, nurse
lunch around 12-1pm--solids, then nurse
possibly fruit around 3 if she seems hungry
dinner at 5pm, solids then nurse
cereal at 8pm(she's usually still awake and seems hungry), then nursed
Sleep 9-5, wakes up several timnes but is not fed

She usually falls asleep at the breast or has to be rocked to sleep.  She is on a basic 4hr schedule with regards to solids, but should I be nursing her in between meals?  The other reason that I am concerned is when I pump while she is at the sitter, I am not producing much milk.   I know that the amount of milk would lessen when she was on solids, but this seems extreme.  Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!

I'll just share my schedule, my son is nearly 8 months old.

6am Bf and back to sleep for an hour
7am wake
8am Breakfast of cereal (5 tablespoons) followed by some pureed fruit
10/11am Bf
12 noon Lunch of a jar of fruit (150ml)
3/4pm Bf
6pm Supper 125ml casserole with a cube of lentils plus 3 teaspoons of fruit
7pm Bf and bed

I don't know if that is of any help at all.

My schedule was (and really still is) much more like Schae's.  I tend to do milk before solids before breakfast, and day milks are her "snacks" midmorning and midafternoon (with some extra fruit if needed), then milk before bed.

If you're concerned, you could try spacing the milk farther from the solids - an hour or so after, depending on naps, etc.
