Caroline's 6-month Stats

Height: 27.25 inches -- 90th percentile.
Head Circumference: 17 inches -- 50-75th percentile.
Weight: 13 lbs. 14.6 oz. 14th percentile. Yikes.

It seems we're starving her. Actually, the doctor said that breastfed infants tend to slow down on the weight gain after about 4 months (which I've read, too) and that Caroline is "very active", with the gross motor skills of a 9-month old. This means that she probably burns more calories than the average 6-month old child. So, no cause for alarm, but, of course, I am alarmed.

Our goal is to have her up to 17 pounds by 9 months. We're planning to add some formula into her daily diet this week. I'm hoping this will give me a chance to re-build our milk stores for her in the freezer. Also hoping that the formula will add a few extra calories to her day so she'll pack on the pounds faster.
