Thanks everyone for your info about solids.

Jazz wasn't interested in eating last night. I wanted to wait until we were having dinner so she could eat at the same time and start learning about family meal time. But she got too tired and all she wanted was a bottle. I might try giving her about 50ml of bottle to satisfy for a short time before I give her food coz I really want her to eat at the same time as us.

I didn't BF at all last night or this morning. I'm feeling fine, not really feeling full at all. I'll see how I go today. I may need to express later. I haven't BF since yesterday at 6am so it's been more than 24 hours and I'm doing fine. Maybe it's over now. (could be time to treat myself to some sexy bras. Matt said he wants to come with me when I go shopping for them and pick out something nice).

Hi danni - in all the info that i have read, regardless of whether you are going to start the mushed food or the harder stuff, you should give you baby a full feed first and then let them pick at the food.
This way they get to cntrol the milk and fluid they get.

MJ has a cold this morning, her uncle gave it to her and he feels sooo bad.
Was awake at midnight and again at 4am - took an hour at 4 to get her off.
She is sleeping now, got a health visit today so will get her weighed and measured.
Going to tell her about her hips and leg and see what she thinks

have a good one every one.

Trina - all ok?

Brn - how are you? havent heard from you in a while, your Mum and Dad back yet

Jazz's cough is getting even worse and she's dry reaching when she has a coughing fit! Her "voice" is sounding horse now too.

Her and Matt are off to the doctor again tomorrow.

Oh, and today I feel like I'm getting the cough too! (great!)

sj - hope appt goes well. what can or is there anything needed to be done for mj's hips?

trina - hope your feeling better

shell - lol so much for food going well. poopy didnt like his rice+lentils+tomato.
maybe cos he had pumpkin the last couple of days and this wasnt sweet.
thats why, i suppose, they say give vegies first then introduce fruits cos if they get use to sweet stuff they wont want blander stuff.
i just realised that i have training on the tues i come back and paed appt the tues after. which brings us into sept. does that mean i wont see you at all, cos you start work in sept, dont u.

danni - how's the feedign going.. hope you dont get sick eitehr. xoxo

he's also been restless today. kid woke up at 2am and finally went to sleep at 4.30. i was so tired and upset. i rang steve at 4.30(6.30 sydney time). each time i put he down, he'd wake up w a big smile. he ahd 2 bopb feeds aswell.

Do you mean BF? I haven't BF or expressed since 6am on 5th August. My work day is almost finished and I'm not feeling sore at all. When I get home I might just see if there is anything in there. I haven't leaked, my breastpads don't feel full when I change them. I really think my BF days are over (Until the next bub in a few years).

Jazz is having approx 4 hourly FF during the day so our family day care lady tells me and I've read in her daycare books that during the day she often has 2 sleeps for 1-2 hours each now. I do wonder if I mess up her daily routine during the weekends. It's hard to know now coz I only spend 2 full days with her a week so she's kind of used to doing things a certain way at day care. I don't mind that, I just have to get to know her daytime routine. It's really helpful that the family day care lady writes a detailed journal about her day.

It is so detailed that it goes like this:
8:40 - drank 200ml of bottle in 10mins then played on floor until 9:30. 9:45 changed wet nappy & put vicks on, 10:00, did leg, arm & head exercises, 11:00 fell asleep in my arms - put her in cot, woke at 1:00...etc
so I get a really, really good idea of what happens in the day. I wish they had time to be that detailed at the daycare centre.

Prama - oh bugger on the food I just pureed some sweet potato and put in the freezer thought I would make a start ready for DJ. I go back to work on 2 Sept so yeah I won't be going to Ness' classes when I go back, but Ness said once the weather gets warmer she will start up another class so I might join in on that one, providing it is a Monday or Wednesday.


Heading over to my sis-in-laws place tonight, Doni away in Wagga so she invited me over for dinner. DJ will be in heaven - lots of cuddles from his aunty, uncle and cousins.

Well better get organised coz he will wake up soon.
