Jen the paed suggested solids because Mikayla wasnt drinking much milk (lactose intolerance & reflux) and wasn't putting on enough weight. He said there was no harm in starting solids early. Even Heinz are now making pureed food for 4month olds & same with farex rice cereal.

Deb I'd been thinking of adding pureed fruit to the farex but a friend gave me the pear & banana flavoured one so I decided against adding anything else to it. I tried the chicken & sweetcorn tonight and she loved it but will still only have a teaspoon or so. I cant believe Aiden is eating a whole jar full. Sounds like you've got a great eater on your hands How is he going with the Losec?? Mikayla hates it and spits it out. She was great when she first started taking it but now its really hard to get her to have much at all and the reflux is starting to become a problem again. Do you know whether it would be OK to mix it into her bottle??? Thats the only chance I have of her keeping any of it down

Awww Sarah how cute is it that Lewis has started to chuckle. I cant wait to hear that first laugh from bubs. I think she's getting close but as much as I try I still havent been able to make her giggle :P As long as Lewis is content & thriving on formula alone then I suppose theres no real reason to put him on solids. Mikayla is only drinking 120mls every 4 hours too - sometimes even as little as 70mls. At times she drinks so quickly that I think oh wow she starving she might have a little extra but as soon as she hits that 90-100ml mark she slows right down and basically spits it out when she's had the 120ml. I never would have thought to put her on solids if our paed hadnt suggested it.
