MT - Big
hun! I wouldnt feel pressured into starting him on solids. As you say we are the experts with our babies, we know them best.
Hoping you get a good gain at weigh in, if not you can have some of K's extra kilos if ya want
Pixie - Agree with you about all the confusion re: solids. I still question myself as to whether I should have K on solids or not. The nurse told me last time I saw her before xmas the same thing; to wait until K was 6 months because of him being big but I was finding he was getting to the 2hr mark and getting grizzly hence my decision to give it a go. I didnt want to keep pumping formula into him as there was a few days last week where he was drinking 1200ml for the day which to me is just wayyy too much considering he averages 200-250g gains per week when he drinks 900-1000ml a day. I guess I am paranoid about his weight, I dont want him to be an obese child that gets teased in school.
Rach - yay for Eli sitting up. Kye has progressed to being able to sit up now by himself and pick up his blocks and put them to his mouth which I thought was quite clever. You can see him really thinking about it though, I guess them having to learn to balance must be weird for them.
Anywaysto everyone else - I gotta run, K is screaming for me to get him out of the jumperoo
I'll try and get back on later to do more personals
ETA: K is also having broken sleeps. He's usually in bed by 8pm and sleeps through till 5ish but lately he has been finding it hard to go to sleep. Usually have to get up to him about 8:30pm and 9:30pm. Have trialled a few different things the past few nights to try and figure out what is causing him to wake up, when he woke up at 930pm I gave him water instead of milk and he gulped it down so conclusion he's dehydrated (even though he drinks like 150-200ml of water during the day LOL) Tonight if he does the same thing I'll do the same thing and see if he manages to last the night. Slept through until 4:10am this morning after having the water.
