I'm so glad that I found this group of breastfeeding mothers! I was worried about the effects that this WOL would have on milk production, so I really appreciate the advice to stick with the 40-50 range.

On another note, my son, Alex, is also starting slowly with solids. He's eating dinner every night and a couple of lunches throughout the week, otherwise, he's exclusively breastfed. My concern with this is his iron intake. His ped. also said that breastmilk is all they need in the first year, but I've read that their reserves of iron are depleted after the age of 6 months. Is this a concern the you have as well?
