Kate, I was just about to say that I didn't really understand your bit about the URL either, and then i saw the refer to other post. And found out it was MY dumb question asking about it!!!!

As for resettling, sorry don't have any magic bullets for you. Pup is pretty much waking most nights for the past few months (after sleeping right through since 8 weeks old) but luckily he resettles and goes back to sleep after a booby feed. however, your comment about the screaming bit when laying her down...Pup is starting to do that too. Fortunatley it is short lived and I give him a toy to distract him as I leave the room. Once I'm out of the room, he settles fine and goes to sleep. This is the case for most naps and sleeps atm.

Brooke, yeah try the s'market for organic milk. In WA, most of the dairy farms are down mear Margaret River, but I dare say that if you spoke to the WA equivalent of the Victorian United Dairy Farmers (UDV) (I can try to find a number if you'd like??) they could let you know who in your state produces organic milk and then from there you might be able to hunt down a local distributor in Perth. Maybe also check out a gourmet deli if the s'markets can't help you.

Pup is still eating very well mashed foods. There is no way he will take anything lumpy off a spoon. So I cook up small batches of casseroles and stews and then puree them in the blender. I have a store of roughly mashed vegies that I try him on every now and then, but he always spits them out. Sigh. So for the moment, I am sticking with the blended, pureed or very well mashed foods. As for the types of foods, he'll eat just about anything, but I've found that if something is too tomatoey, then he is a bit iffy about it. I have been slack about giving him finger food vegies (steamed) at dinner time as it is just nother thing for me to cook up, and I already have his pureed gloop already done and just need to thaw. But I really should get onto it and let him feed himself. I think he will accept lumpy stuff if he can feed it himself. He eats toast at breaky (little fingers) and dry bikkies (and the occasional sweet one). i also have a recipe for baby muffins (less sugar) that I make up with various fruits and freeze. he eats these ok. Just lumpy stuff off a spoon - no way. I've given up buying the 7+ month old commercial baby food as it is just a waste of money. If I need to feed him baby food (Heinz etc) then he gets the 6 months old selection...about 4 different choices!!

Based on how ugly the cut on my arm is, it is surprisingly painless. DH reckons that goes to show how deep the cut is....it has gone past the nerve endings. Blurghhh.
