She only wants to eat solids.....

What am I supposed to do now???

When I went back to work 8 weeks ago she would barely eat solids. I had to drive out and feed her every day at lunch. She started taking solids pretty well within a couple of weeks, but still BFed at lunch. (She refused a bottle completely until 2 days ago) I also BFed her immediately after work, before bed, and before I left for work in the mornings.

Within the last week, she's started refusing to BF at lunch, and then in the last 2 days she's refusing to eat after work as well. She only wants to eat solids now. Then my mom finally got her to take about 2oz out of a bottle on Wednesday, so we're hoping that we can start giving her that. Right now I'm pumping 3-4 times a day at work, to build up a supply so she can have as much as she wants from a bottle.

But she's only 6.5 months old - and on the young side of that. She's too young for so much solids during the day isn't she??

We were already having problems because she stopped growing the first 6 weeks I was at work due to not eating enough. I don't know what to do anymore!
