Neptune: We have a high chair that reclines slightly but haven't used that, I have been using her bouncer so she is not quite sitting upright but still sitting up enough to eat.
Back from Mothers Group and weigh in, Tara is now 6.455kg's and 62 cm long. She is now more than double her birth weight (by .055grams) and is above average in weight & height and way above average in head size... I keep telling DH I am not going to put headbands on or ribbons in her hair as it will just make her head look even bigger and I was right she has lots of brains in there
God BG, Adam will probably be that weight at 5 months!!!!
No-body has been more shocked than me Marcellus However, in Adam's defence, he was huge at birth 4.47kg and was off the percentile charts, but now he is in the 90th percentile, so believe it or not, I think he is slowing down!!
E was a dainty poppet til she started solids at 6 months - actually, until the reflux started to settle around 7 months - now she is putting weight on at a great rate - i'm happy - she is a lovely littlle chubba bubba, ave height, 75th percentile weight - and massive head (just like mummy and daddy!)
she loves her solids - but refuses mush! will have yogurt but refuses mashed veg at all. i think i'd get shot down in flames if i tried rice cereal or food from a jar! love that she is little miss independent though - today we all had toasted sandwiches for lunch - makes it so easy that we all eat the same...
is hot here today - migth put her chubby little butt in the pool later i think
Geez Neptune, Adam is one huge bubba... You must have the strongest biceps carrying him around.
I was just wrapped that Tara has put on some more weight as the MCHN has been a bit critical of me as she was only having 3 bottles a day, but what I could I do I can't force her to have more than she wants. Although she seemed happier today when I told her that Tara is now having a small bottle after she has her solids (although she then won't have a full bottle later on, so she still has the same quantity).
BG: I've been trying Tara on the pre made stuff to see how she went with all the new flavours. I didn't want to purchase a whole heap of stuff to find out she wasn't ready, although I gave her Rafferty's Garden Pear, Banana and Mango today (first time) and she scoffed about 50mls in no time so obviously she likes that one. I'm going to give it a couple more weeks then start trying with the potato, pumpkin and sweet potato. How cool though that E will eat what you have, it must be so much easier to plan meals when you don't have to do seperate meals for her and then you and DH.
Now working out the percentiles, Weight: 75th, Height: 75th, Head: 90th, yep that's one big scone...
