Well it seems like there are a few mums and bubs with eating/sleeping issues. Hang in there everyone.

Rebecca ~ I was going to suggest what Raels said about mixing veg and apple, but perhaps try say 3 cube apple, 1 cube veg to start and then after a few days try 2 cubes of each etc. Has he tried zucchini? It?s a very similar colour to apple when it is pureed. What about potato? He probably recognises the bright orange veg. Also what about two bowls, one of apple, one of veg and alternate spoonfuls (starting with apple of course) so that he may not realise he is eating veg in between? You would probably want to feed him pretty quickly. Maybe give him a toy so that he is not looking at the food? You could also have a spoonful of veg with the tip dipped in apple so this is the first taste to touch his lips? Good on you for being persistent and trusting that you can do it. Start small and work your way up. Be gentle and patient and he will come around.

Jess ~ Sounds like you had HEAPS of fun at the playgroup and I'm glad you got a few things sorted at the doctors. You should make yourself up a big pot of vegie or chicken soup to eat throughout the week. I know it's hard to eat properly when you are only cooking for yourself, maybe a multivitamin might help give your immune system a boost too.

Mel ~ Hope you had fun at the races! What a bargain on the shoes!! When is your sisters wedding?

Nicky ~ I have not had Lucas weighed in a month but I'm waiting to see how much of a difference it's made too. He is on 3 solid feeds a day now and I can feel that it's making a big difference weight wise.

Megan ~ My Lucas (if we are home) has 2/3 naps. One usually before lunch, one at around 2pm and then a short one around 4.30pm, if I'm lucky, to get him through dinner up until bedtime. If he doesnt have that late nap then it's dinner, bottle and straight to bed early.

Hello to all the other mums and bubs

Lucas is well, such a happy cheeky little fellow. Everyone calls him the 'happy baby' as he always has a beautiful smile for everyone, even strangers when we are out shopping. He will make noises to get attention and then smile at them!!
We will have to teach this one early about stranger danger.

His bottom teeth are not far off, anyday now I'd say but it's hard to tell as they have not been giving him any trouble at all.

Have a great day,
