hello all
to answer some questions:
leaky boobs: yes, I still leak, but only at night when they are super full and not too much...
Food: Ally is still eating like there is no tomorrow... 4 meals a day - a cup at each meal.. it is out of control... I swear I spent a whole day just making her food... dinner is now lentils with mixed vegies... I'm yet to start cows milk, wheat or meat - as those things don't sit that well with me...
oh darn, Ally is up.. thought I would get to chat more.. back soon...
luv

at least I got to hear what your all doing!
Well, i am convinced Georgia is teething...she has developed this really strange cry...not her normal sounding cry..this 'pained' cry its really odd... and coupled with refusing her bottle and not sleeping longer than a couple of hours at a time at night..We are having a GREAT time!
Although, last night was okay.. here in Ballarat we have a chemist that sells teething mixture, which seemed to work well...I put her down at 7:30pm and she woke at 4:30 for a feed (which is normal for her) and up again at 6:30am...so not too bad.. fingers crossed that continues!
I have fully weaned from Breast feeding... well, Georgia only "breastfed" for 8 weeks...and then I have exclusively expressed for another 4 months...which was HARD, but worth it... I wish I could go for longer but I am getting Married in four weeks, so I decided leaky boobs in my wedding dress might not be such a good look!!
..anyway...she is now on solids... I started her quite early, as she just seemed to want to grab at what we were eating... so started at about four and a half months... I began by feeding her farex and boobie milk..and then introduced stewed apple...for a week, then added stewed pear... and then took out the apple, and added banana... for a week, then took out the pear...etc etc.. then I thought I should start vegies... of course I started with the sweetest pumpkin I could get (butternut) and added sweet potato...and now im onto broccoli...shes a champion too...eats STACKS... sometimes i wonder if I am feeding her too much... but she LOVES it.. and cries when the bowl is empty ...shes a funny little thing..!
I spoke to my mum about solids, and she said we all had yogurt at 6 months... so I asked the health nurse if she can have yogurt...and she said "if your mum said you had it with no worries, then YES!" so I started on baby Yogurt this week for a light lunch...again she loves it.. its her favorite, and the nurse said its very good for her....so now we are having 3 little meals a day!
My baby may turn into a little budda at this rate...
Hope you are all feeling a bit more rested.. and getting some sleep!
Last night i was feeling sick because i was so tired and i tried to get Charlotte down even with me but all she wanted to do was play, so i got up and gave her to tim and went back to bed, i woke up at 11:30 and she was asleep in the swing so i got her up and feed her and put her in her cot and she slept till 3:50am.
I hope she starts going to sleep a bit earlier, i don't think i can cope well with out much sleep and a toddler.
Well we are off to the phillip island today and then my sister is doing laps in v8 holdon down there.
its really odd... and coupled with refusing her bottle and not sleeping longer than a couple of hours at a time at night..We are having a GREAT time!
