Hi y'all, another depressing day at work....the uni is in a bit of trouble finacially etc, esp our department, and we had a farewell for another person today, the 7th in 5 weeks. Its getting mighty lonely there...oh well.

Hope the needles went OK Cass, and Kaitlyn's not too much out of sorts.

How really awful for you Jo. I read so often about how much all these sorts of behaviours really make an impact on the bubs, and I see it often at the shopping centre (good ol' western burbs, hey Fletch!!). Not sure what your group structure is like, but if you have speakers or discussions, perhaps you can subtly introduce a general group chat about it? If its not directly aimed at her or really confrontational, might just be some food for thought for her. Makes me so sad..... I always feel bad when I have to walk away from something like that, but I agree, you cant really interfere.

You legend Fletch! Nerves of steel! I get done in the last 15 secs all the time too, even if I try and be there. Wonder if we're ever bidding against each other!! OUr mum's group had to exchange ebay id's so we werent doing just that. I do lots of my ebaying after the boys are in bed too

Soph, on the solids / milk thing, I usually give milk first (all that stuff about it being their main nutrition etc). We go bf at 530, rice cereal and fruit at 7am; veges within 30 mins of lunch bf (usually around 1130); veges straight after dinner bf (around 6pm). Having said how much James eats a couple of days ago, today he's hardly had any veges! Got right into the fruit and yoghurt though.

All these bubs loving being on their tums has me a little worried - James hates it and gets tired really quickly, he's not pushing right up like other bubs his age (and way behind Legend Lucie and Zippy Zane). Not even rolling very much. Hmmm.

Btter go...DH just came in and said "you talk to them more than you talk to me"....better make him a cuppa!!

BTW, has anyone tried their bubs with either custard (I've found some powder without added sugar) or porridge / oats?

have a good night everyone, hope its cooler for sleeping Jo; its been raining here this evening so its all cool and freah...sorry

Georgie
