Squid:that whole thing with ebay is BS, they cant do that!! especially as you already tried to pay fpr it!! id be so mad!! hope you sort it put and get what you paid for.

MM:hope everything gets sorted with the move, so stressfull till you sort it all out i bet!

Sash: i tried G with a bit of solids and she wasnt interested, so i cant speak from experience, but sounds like he is enjoying his food!! like squid said, il just follow DDs lead, i dont think there is a set amount to give or a time frame to do it in, aslong as he is happy and you are comfortable and confident with what your doing it doesnt matter.
I can understand what your saying about him gaining weight (it sounds like hes a big boy, but long too!) bet as soon as he starts crawling/walking etc any baby weight will probably just fall off!!

We have the MIL up from sydney for a few days, i get on really well with her which is great....but it always happens that Gs routine aways goes totally to pot when she comes to stay, wont go down to sleep, cries etc, drives me cray, especially when she has been so easy the last few days, now is driving me crazy, up at 3am, wont sleep till 5am and only for half an hour, then wont go back down till about 11am.
We are going to get a proper car seat for her tomorrow , get her out of this capsual, she screams so bad every time she is in it!! Any tips for a good one that can stay rear-facing for a while, she is 7kgs now.

hi to all.
