Breast milk consumption at 4 months

Sadly TTC didn't work for me but I have a question for breast feeding/pumping moms...I am babysitting for teen parents of my kids. Their daughter just turned 4 months old and is healthy...beautiful rolly polly little gal. Mom provides me with frozen breast milk. The baby just screams like she is starving for me with a 5 oz. bottle. Dr. had us add 1 tablespoon of rice cereal which helped for a while. I offer her a pacifier, try to distract her with play, attention ect. Do you think she is getting enough? Mom has taken on more hrs. and is having trouble keeping up and I don't think she eats healthy herself. But, like I said baby is growing and appears well.

His daily intake hasn't really changed between 2 1/2 months and now.
I agree with all of the advice you've gotten and hopefully you can steer these young parents in the right direction!
We used to start babies on cereal at 2 months. Now it's 5-6 months (if at all). I don't think there's real concern at 4 months. Not current thinking but ... not necessarily bad thinking.
Oh good, I'm glad it's not just ours eating that much! I was starting to think mom was making skim milk or something.
