hi girls - back and happy again

Had nutritionist appt yesterday for Zander, and she poo-poo'ed what the MCHn said to me the other day too about Zander and his iron levels etc. She said she was confident that even with sucking all the food that he is he would be abosrbing some, and even got out the breastfeeding growth charts to plot him on, not the blue book formula fed bub ones - she was on the ball .

Re BLS she advised strongly against me trying to go back to rice cereal and puree stuff cos he has moved on from that (never was there LOL) and just to continue doing what I am doing - especially cos I have offered him a wide range of things in accordance with whatever our family was eaten. Only thing I have to remember is the meat component like slow cooker stuff and chops with handles and drumsticks with the needle bone taken out etc - so I left feeling very light and happy again about his food.

Then last night he ate a tablespoon of my soup again, then chomped some sprial pasta with grated cheese - not much went down but he was happy chewing, then he had 2 tspns of yoghurt - so something has gone in.

He is so happy to do the whole finger food thing - BUT he will be going into child care 2 days a week from August and I spoke to them today about his eating - they have centre policy not to give babies under 1 the toddler food - so I am hoping he has worked up his intake by then - will have to see, and as for b/f - he doesnt take a bottle at all so will have to think about that too i spose.

It's so hard sometimes hey!

I made those corn and sr flour and cheese mini muffins - I liked em and Zander sucked on them if nothing else LOL.
