Is it my milk? Supply? Help!!!

I second the WHO charts. Both my kids have declined on the conventional charts. First didn't double her birthweight til 7 months, second has just gone 9 months and still hasn't. But on the WHO charts, designed for normal breastfed babies, they're both pretty much okay. If you're worried about supply, then feed feed feed. Keep offering it, especially through the night, if she asks.

It's worth noting that around this time your supply may go through a "settling down" phase, where it's so perfectly attuned to your baby's needs that you breasts feel softer and it's hard to express. Fear not, the milk is still there. But your production has become much more efficient.

Thanks girls, I will definitely check out the WHO charts. And thanks for the xx

Barb- thanks I am proud of myself for breast feeding, it's been hard but we've done it! She has 2-3 solid meals a day- anything and everything. She's not having cereals yet, but she hates it so she probably won't anytime soon. I'm trying to shove protein in her as much as possible.
She does have a bit of cradle cap but that's it. No family allergies apart from my latex allergy, and her brother's suspected allergy to amoxil.
On a good note I managed to squeeze a few drops of milk out of lefty this morning!!! She's sick ATM (blocked nose and cough) so trying to get her onto the left side is even more challenging than it normally is.
Ill just keep persevering...or as dory says 'just keep swimming. Just keep swimming'

By this age she can have 3 meals and 2 snacks. protein in good - and she can have a good dollop of fat or oil with that - butter, olive oil etc. If no cow milk allergy, she can have yogurt, cheese, custard etc. And if no egg allergy in the family she can have egg. By cereal I mean things like rice, barley, oats, lentils (well, not too many lentils - could be a bit too much fibre) There are often good in stews and casseroles. The slow cooker is often a boon. Babies want food that tastes good too!
You are doing great - as you say keep at it.
