Tarkine- we do home made, have some jars that friend gave me but will use them if I need. Pears and apples I was doing myself but going to use jars for that cause just mixing them with cereal. Vegies I steam until really really soft and mash them with a fork, I then freeze them in ice cube trays and once frozen put into sandwhich bag. My freezer then is full different cubes that I just pick whatever to mix and heat that day. I also offer some finger foods outside meals just to get practice in.
AJP- ooh I love my wii, been so slack lately tho, for awhile I was doing wii fit everynight then Emilys sleep went to crap and was too tired, I really need to get back into it. How is Sophie?
Kaz- Did you get some pics? Its cute watching them isn't it.
-
Kaz - I think I'm going to have to get off my butt and start making my own banana and custard. Just wish that Alex would go into the cot for his daytime sleeps (and when I do put him down sleep for more than 10minutes) - makes doing anything around the house tricky.
AJP - Wii's are fun - enjoy.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Pinny!
Tarkine - I make my own food. I just steam and blend with a stick blender. With fresh food like banana or avocado i just fork mash. Some of our combinations are: pumpkin, zucchini and broccoli; sweet potato and cauliflower; banana and natural yoghurt; avocado and banana; carrot and parsnip; spinach, zucchini and potato; apple and pear. I am also doing finger foods with miss J and she likes to feed herself banana, bread crusts, carrot sticks and zucchini sticks.
I don't freeze - I just make fresh every couple of days and Miss J generally eats the lot in that time :rolleyes: She is whinging now - I think she wants food :lol:
-
Nai- what brand yoghurt do you use? I'm looking for alternative to the kids ones cause Ash used to break out in huge rash from the flavoured kids ones, funnily vanilla was ok but the others must've had something funny for her in them.
-
well for the first time in 6 days sophie has a normal temp :dance: !!! she was still up mulitple times last night but hopefully tonight she'll go back to sleeping through!!
i have been working on ggetting millie to sleep with out been wrapped, she has one arm out and ive given her a blankie to use as a comforter, i have to wrap it up with her and leave some out, she likes to have it on her face.
nai millie just wont eat!! even finger food just gets squished in her hands :lol:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINNY!!! HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
ETA shell i get jalna for sophie or the organic one from aldi
-
Just quickly popping in!
Happy birthday Pinny!
Been very busy here so not much time to log on.
L has started having 1 meal a day (dinner) and so far has had pumpkin on its own and also mixed with broccoli. So far so good! We are doing the same Shell re steaming then mushing then filling the freezer cubes and then once frozen just chucking the blocks into a container so there is always food available - it just needs to be defrosted! At some stage today I will steam some more pumpkin and also cauliflower and might try the cauli tonight. We also give L sticks of raw carrot and celery to "gum" on just to get used to the flavour and it seems to be soothing too!
Kaz, don't worry - L still has no teeth, has never slept through, rarely rolls and still can't sit up either! He has only started on regular solids about 4 days ago and I am still feeding on demand, which is probably about every 2 hours and I also feed him to sleep!
Anyway, hi to everyone - hope all the sickies are recovering well :hug:
Will try and log in again soon xox
-
holly leon will move when he wants! believe me before you know he'll be running!
would you believe millie just rolled from back to tummy, just the once, and i swear she says mum :D
-
Shell - I just use Farmers Union natural European style yoghurt. I can't justify the money they ask for the baby yoghurts!
-
not to mention the added suger too nai :o
-
Oh yeah absolutely! I just add mashed banana or stewed pear to the yoghurt to make it sweeter for Miss J.
Does anyone else have this problem? Miss J has started pinching me while BF - with BOTH hands at once. It's great that she's getting so coordinated but it really really really hurts!!! She is pinching my bb right near the areola at the front and then with the other hand pinches the sking on my tricep. I'm almost in tears by the end of a feed it hurts so much and I think she has bruised my bb!
-
Nai- I have the biggest scratch mark all the way down my boob towards the nipple wher DD scratched me with the corner of her nail (it even bled!!!) and I get pinched alot and it hurts! Thanks for your tip about firefox. It worked ;)
Jols- Great to hear Soph is on the mend!! That is so cute M was saying mum! :)
Kaz & Holly- DD moves around sometimes but not often. I dont do nearly enough tummy time or sitting her up without support behind her. I should do more. No teeth here either.
Pinny- Happy birthday hun!! Hope you had a great day!
Cant remember who asked about food but I just buy those rafferty's pouches. D loves them and it saves me pureeing foods. I also buy the hars of pears and apples. We tried yoghurt today. I just put a few teaspoons in with the puree pear to make it a bit sweeter as natural yoghurt tastes gross to me! She loved it. One of my friends told me she puts banana on a paddle pop stick and sticks it in the freezer and gives it to her girls (7mths & 3yrs). I am going to remember that for hot days. DD also loves lvoes loves sucking on watermelon and mashing it with her hands.
Arrrrh!! DD crying, BBS
-
nai get pinched too, i have heaps of scrathes on my neck as well!! no matter how short her nails are they still hurt
ali you can get the tins of pie apple from the supermarket, they have nothing else added, and just puree them, just watch for the apple seeds!! easy and cheaper than jars!!
were finally having some success with food!! she wont let a spoon near her mouth and fruit was too slippery to hold so i baked some pototo and steamed some zuchinni and broccoli last night and she loved it!! i know she ate some broccoli cos i saw it this morning :sick:
-
AJP & Ali - yep she scratches me too :( I do remember DD1 doing this and it did pass but I can't remember it hurting this much! Maybe Miss J is stronger.
Yay on the solids AJP - Miss J loves some steamed vegie sticks to munch on. She will only have them after her spoon food though as she wants the food in quickly (mummy's girl :lol: ) I think I have a little piggy on my hands. She is eating a big bowl of baby cereal with fruit for breakfast, 2 courses for lunch and 2 courses for dinner - plus she still has about 5 BF a day! And she has finger food snacks as well. She is getting really chubby too although I'm sure it will come off once she starts moving. She is pretty happy just sitting at the moment and doesn't look like crawling any time soon.
I can see the bulges for her top teeth in her gums but they haven't come through yet - I think they will be here in a week or so though as they don't look too far off.
-
nai DD seems to get more enjoyment out of squeezing the crap out of finger food :lol: her top teeth are bulging too, we still have gummyness here!!
