HI girls. For those of you that give sandwiches, do you use margarine or butter as well? What stuff do you put on the sandwiches? I'm looking for ideas because we're off to the beach this weekend and I figured sandwiches were going to be sooo much easier to do than heated up vegies!!

As for cow's milk, the book I got from the hospital says we can use it in food/cooking, etc now as long as it's not their main drink so I don't think there's anything to worry about! Just think about what they had to do before formula came in for those who couldn't bf?? I've given milk in food a couple of times, but Bella's solids intake isn't all that big so I'm not using much.

She has only a couple of spoons of farex or half a weetbix (weetbix is softened with hot water and I add cow's milk) for breakfast (with almost a full bottle), a bottle at morning tea, vegies and some kind of meat and veg in a jar with another bottle, bottle for arvo tea, then meat/vegies for dinner and maybe a topup bottle before bed. The quantity of solids very small too, but she's still got those cute rolls on her legs and she's happy and healthy, so I'm not too concerned. I think the bottles are sustaining her!

She sits with us when we eat dinner and we give her stuff like broccoli, cheese or cruskits, or if we're having takeaway we have to give her hot chips or there's hell to pay!!! We're having a very boring bangers and mash tonight so will see how she goes with that!

Have a great day everyone!
