    First of all - YEY! autie just went to sleep on her own with me lying on the bed and pretending to go to sleep myself (and I almost did) That's a big deal for us, though I know normal for many of you.

    Mel, It does kind of sound a lot. Autie has about 3 cubes worth at 3 meals (vege or veg and meat at lunch) plus snacking on pieces of melon or broccoli occasionally and BF probably 6-8 times in 24hrs. Most times she will eat it all, though if she's tired she will clench her fists and growl at me to stop. They are all different but the stomach is the size of a fist generally (their own) and they say that even adults should eat that small amount, but more often. How active is he?

    Nicky, I can't wait for number two either but then sometimes I look at SIL who has 15m old and another on the way, and she's tired and sick and trying to deal with a daughter who's cranky and doesn't understand mum feels like crap and I think 'maybe i should wait just a little bit longer!"

    Megan, have a great night, I'm so jealous.

    August, how was your night out?

    I gave in and took Autie to the doc yesterday to get some cortisone cream for her eczema. She was scratching so much she was making herself bleed He was a nice chinese man and looked at Autie's rolls and said 'oh, so many skin fold. that look funny hey? you have those? no? I never see before little rolly. hahaha look amusing' LOL He cracked me up. I can't deny it, she does have caterpillar arms but it was funny to see him so amused by it.

    Hi all!!!
    Just popping in quck before we head off. Our first time away from daddy... adn its 5 days, so it's going to be weird.

    Mel - To me, that sounds alot of food young jack is eating. But you have been feeding him for a while right?? We are in week 4, having 3 solids meals a day ( at Lach's request lol), and each of them is quite large, approx 4 tablespoons worth. But If I don't give him that much, he isnt happy. Lach is only a bit over 7kgs, so he's not a big bubba, but now that these young boys are moving around alot, they really do require quite a bit of food don't they? Lach is still having at least 5 BF's a day... sometimes more, due to his teething. I actually read somewhere, that BF babies ARE able to regulate how much food they take in. But I guess just go with what you think is right. Mum's are always right when it comes to their own kiddies

    Hi Rebecca! Hope work's not wearing you out too much.

    ANyway, I have to go. Gotta meet my mum in 45 mins, and it takes me an hour to get to her house!
    Have a great weekend, and next week. Speak to you all thrusday or friday

    xxoo Nicky and Lach.

    Thanks ladies for you thoughts about the amount of food.

    Jack has been on solids for about 3 months now. And he is 10kg too, and moving around heaps. He does laps in his walker around the house, so from what you have all said how much your babies are eating and how much they weigh, I'm thinking it's not too much. He is just a big active boy, who needs his food
