hi all,

happy 6 months ella, i knew there was another 3rd of august.

Scone, Xavier only has about that much ebm too during the day. I too think they save up for when mum is there, but I've also read that breast fed babies don't generally behave the same as ff babies when they have a bottle.

Molly, I think Xavier is just a big tease and makes me think he is going to move Probably stubborn like his mum and will do the opposite to what we think. My milk seems to go up and down like a yo yo, however expressing for me is probably impacting on that.

Ali, I've herd that cruskits can be handy to chew on as the pretty much disolve, do they have milk in them, might be an alternative??

Liz, welcome to you and your bubba. I've been around since conception. This is a great place and I feel truley blessed that I found it when I did, the amount of support and friendliness you find here is amazing.

Sara, according to MIl DH crawled once, across the room, stood up and promptly started walking, all at 9 months. Both of Nathans brother and sister walked at 9 months also. So you could be right.

RE solids, at the moment the stance I am taking is that I offer the meal regularly but don't fuss if he doesn't want it. FYI he hates zuchini, but fav vegie so far seems to be pumpkin 'cause it's sweet, and he is a big fan of fruit. I have been making my own food, but I keep an eye on what's available at the supermarket just in case, and in the fridge section near the yogurt there are these fresh pureed vegies, that are very similar price to the jars.

we haven't had our 6 month needles yet, because I'm working now, and there is only 1 night session each month here, so not this week but the next he wil get his needles. I am however taking an afternoon off next friday to see mchn so will have some stats. But he is roughly 8kg's and 68cm tall.

of, well we gotta go out,

Catch you all later
