Tasia.. oh yep totally they can have potato it on its own but just may be a little dry iykwim? Even can add a little water if need be. Pumpkin yeh i dont add anything as it kinda holds its moisture when cooked unlike potatoes. I just meant if you were to make it as you normally make mash potato dont use cows milk until theyre about 8 or 9 months i think it is, use either formula/breastmilk or water. A quick and easy way to do pumpkin is just to microwave it! Works a treat.. turns it nice and soft.
kel- yeah i know wat u mean. I perfer to add water to the potatoes only because i don't want him getting used to formula on foods. wat about broccoli, how do swe do that?
Yeh i think the only reason they suggest using formula at first is because thats what they are most use to. Makes them able to palet the new flavours and textures easier if they have formula. I dont think they will get dependant on forumula on food.. depends how you use it. Its really just a substitute for when youd normally use cows on your own foods like cereal and mash. But doesnt mean you have to do it that way, just suggestions. Broccoli holds alot of moisture still too. I would just over cook it until its nearly falling apart and then blend it in a blender until almost puree. Add a little water from the water you cook it in if you need to. Same with all other vegies.
Kel - I can't BELIEVE he is actually eating... I've changed my way of thinking and I think its working... so far so good anyway - he even ate some pizza last night (which isn't the healthiest, but it had pineapple on it.. lol)
kel- oh ok, when can we not add formula, if i decide to ad potatoes in with the formula, when can i not add in formula with the potatoes sorry about all the questions.
Pixie - Sounds like you've had a really bad week. I hope you can get your pictures back. I can't believe the people didn't give them back before they sold the place.
Kell - Those photos are so adorable. I think Jesse and Keira look so much alike. :P YAY! for your hair straightener. I need a new one. I haven't straightened my hair in so long. I really couldn't be bothered cause it's so long. I'm so lazy. Haha. No teeth breaking through yet but they're so right just under there. I feel them everyday to see if they've actually come through. Hehehe.
SW - I haven't seen the new huggies pictures. I can't wait to see it when/if you post it. Sounds.. interesting. Lol. Wooohooo at finally being able to cook dinner in the kitchen.
Tan - YAY Ash for her first swim. I'm hoping the weather is nice here next week and we can get out for a swim. It's been so hot and cold here. Good luck with the expressing.
Mel - I hope youre tooth ache gets better.
everyone else. I hope your bubbas aren't giving you too much trouble.
I'm so worn out. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Whingy, clingy boy. Far out. He won't even keep the dummy in his mouth. He just takes it out and holds it in his hand so he can whinge some more.
I wish I had the Baby Bjorn here so I could carry him instead of holding him but silly me left it in the car.

Anastasia - we didn't give it to him to drink before he was one - but a teeny tiny bit on weetbix is acceptable - apparently! I couldn't be bothered mixing up a tiny bit of formula for that amount of weetbix - felt like I was wasting far too much of it (ie mixing up 60ml or whatever for the little 10ml of liquid needed.. lol)
Tenny - whats wrong with it? I see 4 months, 4 weeks and 1 day?
ETA - anastasia - I think, from memory, when I was doing stuff for DS, I would just cook it and then puree it, I didn't need to add water or anything. For fruits and vegies. I didn't really get into the farex stuff cos he HATED it...
everyone else. I hope your bubbas aren't giving you too much trouble.
