She's very little still and bm should still be her main food. I would definitely keep bfing her in the morning and I'd be sure to give her a bf before every solid meal at this age. Milk is her most important source of nutrients until she is one, solid foods won't give her nutritionally what she needs the way bm will.
DS#2 is 5 months old and 100% demand fed which I am enjoying immensely.
Sometimes he has a set number of solid feeds in the day and other times he is more of a snacker. Some nights he sleeps long blocks and only needs 1-2 feeds and other nights he is awake every two hours and feeds as if he is starving to death. I know all of this is normal!!
MIL spend the night with us last night and today she commented on how often DS#2 feeds and although I smiled, nodded, and tried to let it go in one ear and out the other, it still did my head in.
So I am glad to have the reminder that demand feeding is fine and that my son knows when he NEEDS booby, whether for nutritional need or emotional need.
