Bec - I was flicking through Kaz Cooke's "Kid-Wrangling" book and reading the chapter on solids. I thought what she said might be of consolation to you (and proof that the MCHN you saw was completely out of line!) -
So, there you go! Not having started Eliza on solids yet is not about to ruin her nutrition nor is it going to harm her development in any way. How could it when the formula is still meant to be her main source of nutrition?In those first few weeks of trying mushes, don't think of the food as sustenance or keeping your child alive....Some kids....may hold out longer than 6 months. At this point, you are conducting fun experiments in taste - not nutrition.... and, remember, the first few weeks of "eating" is just experimenting and up to the age of 1 year, the real nutrition is still coming from the breast or formula milk.
Sarah - sorry to hear that Zander's teeth are giving him (and you) hell. The poor little munchkin! Sounds like you have a full-on week ahead of you. Bring on Sunday!!
Welcome to Stormi & Mackenzie and Brookey & Maya. Yay for hitting that 3 month mark. I bet it has gone quick!
Feeling ick today. AF arrived yesterday with a vengence!! I guess it was bound to happen properly soon. ](*,)
