I am super happy atm i have both kids asleep

Anyway thanks Alicia & Liz will have a squiz at the bumbo's.

Haroula - it does sound like a lot of food for this age but if you think she needs it and as long as she is still getting her milk quota.then trust yourself.

Nic - Sounds like Olivia's not too bothered, maybe try the finger food i think thats what im going to do with Vicky. Well done with the housework i've got 1 load of washing out & have washed the brekkie dishes and that'll do until DP gets home.

kts64s - good on you for giving your little girl at great start in life...having kids was the best thing we did for our own diets.

Trish - if Vicky's anything like her mum she'll talk under water , and im like you i think i need to start popping Vicky into her cot for sleeps instead of letting her sleep on me...i might even get stuff done

I was just reading up a bit more on the BLS and I think next week I will offer a stick of carrot.. cooked obviously I won't put it in her mouth but on the high chair tray and let her play with it. Well either carrot or apple.. Avacado is a possibilty too.. My friends daughter ate avacado for her first food and made a lovely mess but really enjoyed it.. she just lay her on the floor with an ava in front of her and she just gummed it and licked it

hi ladies..

yep, she's fantastic... has 3 sleeps during the day and sleep from 8pm-6ish am! straight... the only time she gets upset is when i deny her food! haha... she just polished off for lunch about 120ml of vegies and about 50ml of fruit... mind you i had to stop.. and now sleeping like an angel!! when she wakes up she's have her milk..

I think that if i had to force her to eat or she was gagging i wouldn't have given her so much... i just go by her queues..! if she wants it, she eats.. if not she doesn't! finger food is a great idea too... she has some fruit like that.. loves it! and i put some things in the mess feeder, she loves that too and cracks it when i take it away to fill it up again! LOL hehehe funny girl!

Just a quicky, for those that missed Lauren's tv appearance. Here is a link to it

Hey Trish - I was just wrapping kayla for a sleep, and wondered if you wrap Abbey at all? Do you think she might be waking cold at night?

I wrapped Tallon until he was about 7 or 8 months, I'll probably wrap Kayla longer than that coz it's kind of a sleep queue for her, and I know that she's toasty warm during winter. I know she can go to sleep without being wrapped, coz I've put her down while I get dressed or something and she goes off to sleep LOL. but yeah, I keep wrapping her to keep her warm and stop her rolling through the night.

Just a thought

hey nic i thought carrot sticks are 'supposed' to be given at 1yrs old incase they bite a chunk off and choke?? or is that raw carrot?

[Liz]

Lauren, that'd be raw carrot. Softened (cooked) carrot would be fine But I reckon teething rusks are as bad as raw carrot.. DS used to bite off chunks from them.
