I have to accept it.  I have to accept that s is a squirt and that at the rate that she is going she will be a squirt.  She and g are dissimilar again in that way.  To this day, she rarely eats more than 4 oz of food at a sitting.  More often her nanny would only feed her 2 oz and about an hour later would feed her the second 2 oz.
g at this point ate 4 oz a sitting and drank 8 oz at a time.  s have at times drank 7 but we are surprised by that since it is so rare.  A side effect of so little food means that she wakes up more often at night to eat.
I guess I grew in the school of thought that the happy eater is a happy child.  This was further reinforced by little g who never had a problem eating.  I thought I could just let go since it seems that I was the only person who had issue with this.  The ped does not seem concerned.
I recognize that it is probably more my issue than it is hers.  I think I will still have to move her towards having 5 meals a day instead of 10 but I just have to accept that will take time.
