Great advice Tracey! I think it is easy to forget that all babies are individual and can do various things that others cant. i had a girlfriend here the other day whose little girl is 3 weeks younger than T as she was so precise in how she picked things up whereas Tom just grabs for stuff, and when she layed on the floor she was really still, Tom looks like he is paddling on a surfboard - arms and legs everywhere. I was panicking that Tom didnt do the stuff she did, but realised in time it will happen (like the food thing!!).

Speaking of the food thing, my MCHN suggested that i give up trying food for Tom because he isnt ready.. But if i stop how will i know when he is ready? I thought he was showing all the classic signs before i started him. I am just going to keep trying i think. Oh, better go - someone sounds like he has worked his way up the cot to the baby monitor. Lots of heavy breathing coming through it!
