Babies Born July 2007 #11

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Its been a tough one, especially cause I am not over in NZ with Mum and Dad. But I will definately remember all the good times - he was such a funny guy

Well I tired Olivia with rice ceral after her 7am bottle and she spat it back out!! Maybe I should try it before her bottle? I don't know if I mixed it right, didn't look very tasty!! I was also told to start 4-6 months because after 6 months could be late for some babies, so I figure she will let us know if she is not ready. Will try her again before her next bottle.

I couldn't find the facebook group. Can someone invite me to it? Alisa Hardware is my name on facebook (and my real name LOL)

Hi flossie - I am not sure if I am correct, but I have heard that it can take up to 10 tries of the same food before bubs will take it.
I'm sure that because she has been so used to liquid for so long and never had anything solid that she could swallow in her mouth, that she just doesnt know what to do with it.
I am yet to try Lach on solids, I too am hoping to wait until 6 months of age. We have issues with constipation though and would like them resolved before starting solids.

Well, Lach slept for 5 hours in his cot last night!!! woot!
Its the first time ever!
he fell asleep on the floor in the lounge room on his belly, so I put him in his cot on his belly, and we didnt hear a peep from him tll 230am.It's so great knowing that I can have him int he cot and he will settle himself down. He slept the whole time without a dummy as well.
I am so proud. lol
So I'll be trying to put him in his cot every night from now on, and also during the day when I can
