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...
mel- Yeah i have been giving Jonathan just puree apple without formula, I might do the same with potatoes next week, see how he goes. Thanx for that sweety.
Kel- Thank-u
Tenny- I've been trying to up grade my ticker but everytime I do it, it says the photo is too large & i don't know how to shorten it hmm.
Anastasia - its likely that the file size of the pic is too large. If you don't have photo shop to resize the pic - when you are in the viewer program - see if it has the option to send by email - they usually downsize the pic for you - and then just save it as that size. If that makes sense? So since I don't have photoshop on the crappy laptop - this is what I do to resize my pics. Then I just save it from the attachment on an email to the desktop and rename it with a .jpg on the end of its name. Make sense?
Well I tried the potato on Izzy, she did well didn't eat it all but all good she started to gag in the end so stopped giving it to her. Will try again tomorrow. I didn't use formula in the potato just used my blender to puree it. I have put the remainder in my ice container and it's in the freezer.
Mel - I hope you feel better soon.
Tenny - you poor thing I know how you feel izzy since we have gotten back from Sydney has only been having 30 mins catnaps which I'm not happy about. I want her to sleep longer but I can't even resettle her
Well my little princess has stopped screaming and playing with her Minnie mouse so I think I'll fold the clothes.
Tasia.. you dont have to add formula with anything. I was just saying with mash potato (not sure how you make it) but when we're making it for us as a family we add milk to make it creamier. I just mean if you were to do the same with potato for bubs not to use cows milk, to use formula or water. Potato and farex/cereal is the only thing i add formula to. No other vegies. And I wouldnt add it to fruit as its likely to make it curdle. No worries hun about the questions.. if you dont ask youll never know
Yep i did the same as Mel with Jesse with cows on his cereal/potato from 8 months (same time you can start weetbix). Not to drink though.
Tenny.. Thanks hun. Yep i think Keira will be a little girl version of Jesse when shes older.. which will be very cute. I hear ya with the clinginess!!!!!!
Mez.. thats great she took the potato so well! for Izzy!
Ok.. Jesse's in bed.. Keira'a asleep on the floor. MIL will be around in about an hour or so i think so will go do a quick tidy and make a cuppa.
Didn't have days, had bloody cricket. I better go put Jonathan to sleep before i give him his bottle, as he's crying his lungs out. He just had puree apple.
OMG it is so hot!! Even after my late night I got up at 6am, fed Ashlea, showered, ate, got Jayden ready for day care and was in the car by 8.30am. At day care Jayden told me to stay and not to leave him...unusual but Ashlea was in the car and I had to go so I left. SIL called me at about 11am to say he had a temp (not sure what as her thermometer wasn't working) and he had just gone to sleep. I got over there about 1pm and he was awake on the couch and was hot as anything despite the cold washer on him. I gave him some Dymadon which seems to have dropped the temp a bit and is now asleep again. Poor bub, I feel horrible that I left him this morning when he asked me not too. I asked him if he felt sick this morning and he said yes (whether he did or not though ). I wanted to go swimming again this arve but think we'll be giving it a miss.
Sorry no personals, going to take his temp.
I think windows has some built it apps that will allow resizing of images. If you want to use something like photoshop but don't want to shell out the HUGE amount that it costs, download gimp. It is completely free, does what photoshop does, and absolutely ROCKS. You can run it on windows or mac (and Linux!!)
It is very simple to resize an image in gimp - just open the image, click the image menu, select "scale image" or "scale canvas", then input the size that you want to scale it down to. Also very simple to crop and do other things like that.
And I'm (mostly) always happy to provide tech support for Gimp if peeps are willing to wait for answers for the next time I have a chance to look at my email
