So sorry to everyone who is having sleep issues. I guess we are still here too but they keep changing. I went to Oconnell family centre to do a day stay and they offered some good tips to me for helping with settling Dylan as I was rocking him to sleep now I am butt patting and doing the walk in and out of the room thing but not controlled crying. They also advised me to be using the same beddy byes routine for all sleeps ie book, nigh nighs, music, and into bed which is going well but Dylan still won't sleep for longer than 40 mins at a time during the day although I got him to sleep for almost two hours today in the middle of the day sleep which was amazing so I am hoping it will continue. Last night he went to sleep at 7.30ish then woke at 8.30, 12, 2 and I fed him, 4.45, 5.25and then he came into bed with us and then at 7.10 aaaggghhhh is it their age do you think cos everyone is going through this well in this little group anyway.
On the solids front Dylan is loving everything I give him except broccoli but he will eat it mixed with one of his fave orange rooot vegies. I started him on baby porridge on thursday morning mixed with formula and he loves this and today he has tried baby yoghurt which he pulled a face at but then opened his mouth for more. I am going to introduce a third meal either today or tomorrow which will be vegies mixed with rice cereal and will see how we go. So on the list of foods he has tried are rice cereal, pumpkin, apple, pear, sweet potato, potato, carrot, baby porridge and baby yoghurt. Next I am going to try him on peaches and then zucchini and some more greens and then cauliflower and then I am going to add cheese to vegies mmmmmm! Then I will introduce meat like chicken or something. Also I was thinking of starting him on rusks as he wanted my biscuit and my toast the last couple of days so I think he is ready for these.
Sorry for no personals everyone I am so busy with the house renos and going back and forth plus I am having my mothers group here tomorrow and have been busy cleaning like a mad woman.
