Hi Mary how are you going? I feel pretty sad when it comes to solids time because I just love the connection with bubs while breast feeding and when they start on solids because it signifys that they are growing up and becoming more independant from you. For me I feel like they don't need me so much and daddy comes into the picture a lot more to take over for feeds, and that feels a little sad because for the first 5-6 months you have them so close to you. I really start to notice it come around 9-10 months and when they are having fewer feeds - I also drop a cup size so that is also sad toohehe
Hope Addy you and hubby are doing well lets try and get together for a drink sometime
Hi Cherryblossum and Lunesoileil
Francis is between the 10th and the 25th percentile for weight - he is happy and healthy and I am no longer concerned anymore he was 6.35kg 3 weeks or so ago and I haven't weighed him since. He just rolled over yesterday he smiles and coos etc. He also lets me know when he is hungry. Over the past few weeks I have been working harder to bring my milk up and have started him on solids. He is doing fine I also think that maybe it is just in his genetic makeup to be that little bit smaller. My partner is 5ft 7 (170cm) and weighs 64kg (lighter than me
So I am happy just keep doing what I am doing because stressing and listening to negativity was making it worse for me. I even had someone mention the 2 Brisbane twins that were starved to death in the same line of conversation of my breastfeeding and Francis' weight gaining woes, so I have had enough of it. I am a good mum I know what I am doing and I would know if my little man was starving.
