RE: Changes in Bubs on solids.

My little girls has been on solids for about a week or so. We've done the rice cereal, althgouh now she has had apple, pumpkim, carrot and zuccini the plain cereal is a definate no go - to plain I am sure. So far so good. She nearly crash tackles me when she sees the bowl and spoon.

She has still been sleeping through although I might say her days sleeps have been slightly shorter maybe a hour in the morning and still two int he afternoon, with some days 45min nap in the afternoon too, but not always.

Interested to hear what everyone else is going through though.

Just one thing on the sippy cups. Should I be trying her with it with just water? Does any one give their bub formula in it? My little bub does hold her bottle quite well and has been doing for some months.

Hope everyone has a good night!

Hi all,
Jus- Good to see you back on here. You sound a bit cheerier, hoping Ella is being 'good' for you I'm here if you need me Wow- going out for dinner how exciting, good on you guys We managed to go a movie tonight- my best friend came and babysat. It was great.
Michelle- The sleep deprivation gets you every time. to you too.
Buzzie- No real change here with the solids. A few more poos than before (we were only getting one every three or four days) but that's it. I'm keeping it as more of a 'play' thing at the moment, just to let him try new tastes and textures, and less of a nutrition thing ykwim?
kts- they recommend trying a sippy cup from 6 months for orthodontic reasons, and speech therapists recommend trying them from 4 months. I'm pretty sure you can do formula in them too (but I'm definately no expert on that).
Work again for me tomorrow. Guilty as a feel about leaving Ty, it is nice to be out in the real world for a few hours... I used to come home to escape, these days I leave it... who knew being a mum would be so hard and ultimately very lonely? Although I've made a stack of new firends too. I actually ran into a girl who I went to school with the other day and stood talking to her about our babies for a good half hour... more words spoken than in the four years we were at school together. Go figure.
Night all.

just a quickie.. We decided to head to my sisters on Friday instead of Saturday just so we could camp for 2 nights We were going to stay in a cabin for the one night but went friday instead

Olivia seemed to enjoy her first camping trip.. Little disappointing as it was in a Van Park but it was camping all the same. We got a powered site so we had a heater on at night toasty...

My Nephews christening was on yesterday so thats why we were out that a way..

anyways. I think i have a upper resp infection as I am needing my asthma meds every 1-2 hours for the first time in over a year.. so off to the Drs tomorrow..

boys are getting better. Jacob and Isaac have thier up and down moments and Ethan is ok but is starting to complain of a sore ear now..

oh and Olivia has her pead appointment on Thursday, we were able to get her in when Isaacs appointment was thankfully as she is heavily booked and it would have been a few more weeks

anyways.. night night ladies and babies...

Hi all, I've found my way back in here finally! Sounds like lots of you have been unwell , I've had DH home sick for half of last week and Kyla has still got this awful cough hanging on. Gabe has also been a bit out of sorts too.
Otherwise, not much has happened here, no teeth, no solids, just boobie for my boy at the moment. Although, I am finding it more and more difficult to feed him - he is so distracted by EVERYTHING, he is such a sticky beak, plus he wont feed in public if its a bit noisy.
Trish- Gabe hasn't started on solids yet. I have let him have a taste of a few things a while ago, but thought he seemed a bit irritable afterward so decided to hold off a bit. I tried to look at the link you posted but couldn't get in? How are you going hun?
Lauren- It was great to meet you and Asher today and the BB center
