She still has about 1200 oz in the freezer if I do decide to wean soon.  She has started solids and is doing well except for some constipation, but I guess as long as things are going well, we'll keep going!
As a sidenote, we're changing peds. She went in for her 6-mo well baby visit today, and the ped pushed again for me to switch her to formula. I just don't get it. She weighs 17.2 lbs and is 28 inches long at 6 mos... obviously, her growth is excellent. She nurses well, and I'm willing to continue BFing. So why would I switch her to formula?? This has been a problem at EVERY appt so far.

our pedi did the exact same thing with dd! every single visit, switch to formula now, blah blah blah we switched, and it has been much better since
