Prama and Shell - you are meant to give them the full amount of feed and then let them tae what ever extra they want in solids.
Milk (whether FF or BM) is still meant to be the primary source of nutrients at the moment.
They should still be as content doing it this way round, it ensures that they get everything they need through the milk and then the soilids are extra iykwim
Skye - it must be so hard for you especially with Jaz. I agree, 'flogging' is not the answer, unfortunatly it is hard to get people (espec men) to see that just cos they were hit when they were kids, that its not the way to parent. Have you and Anth seen a councilor? Maybe an outsider sitting and talking with you both would help you work through some of the problems.
Trina so sorry
Men are very often completly unaware of what needs doing. My DH, although he works ridiculously hard, comes home and treats the house like his own personal dumping ground. Its very hard at times, so i totally sympathise on that side of things.
IT would suck to be isolated from friends, although since having MJ i have discovered that a few of my friends no longer have time for me as i cant (and dont want to) go out drinking at the pub I am actually a bit down about the frined situation as im 30 in a few weeks and the big party that i always thought i would have is not going to happen as my life has changed so much and people move on... oh well, i wouldnt swap MJ for the world.
Danni - glad that you can get in nice bras now - i will be in big ugly mat bras for ages
The osteo is doing wonders, although i think that she is doing too go of a job, MJ is now practicing getting up on all fours - ahhhhh im not ready for this!
Prama and Shell - i wish i lived closer - i would come for a road trip
In light of the topic of the day, maybe we sould all just meet up somewhere and have a big fat whinge
Humm i thonk i hear DH's car - he has been working so hard and its bloody freezing in the factory (no heating) so i had better go and see him... its been hard, he spends 30mins with MJ in the mornings and then gets home hours after she goes to bed.... anyway, not as bad as you Skye and trina, so sorry for that...
have a good night hope you all have a better night sleep - i will be glad when mJ rememebers how good it was to sleep right thru
arrrgh
somethings wrong.. i keep gettign token errors and lose my post
skye - i meant to say earlier, wish you were closer so i' could come and visit. xoxox
sj - it would be great to meet up, huh!
i feel awful.. poopy is so fussy with his bottle. ive been given him 2 BFs in the mornign then the next feed his solids with some formula in it. i should have given him his milk first.
i feel terrible. it's been 2 weeks. i hope it's not so bad. he seems to enjoy his solids more than milk. i just thot, that he would get more from it as he doesnt want to finish his 180ml most times. BF at 5-6am,7-8am, then he has his solids around 10am, then FF/BF around 1pm,4pm. and solids around 7pm then milk at 9-9.30pm before bed.
i feel so guilty for missing 2 milk feeds now..
Prama, dont worry, i am sure that there is no harm done...
You werent to know anyway.
Its only cos i have put off starting solids AND had an extra visit to the health nurse (cos of MJ's hips) that i knew... otherwise i would have done it the same way as you as i thought that was how it was done.
Maybe give him the soilds after the 8am feed and see how he goes, he may not want anything until later anyway. MJ has chnaged the timing of her feeds lately and i havent even started soilids (starting Sat) so its possible that he would have changed anyway.
Im sure he would have let you know if he was hungry anyway
Jo - forgot to say, great to hear from you, sorry you had a bad time for a while
We will have to find somewhere else to catch up ... soon ?
Hummm, i was just told after a feed, but maybe you could wait a bit, well the way that im going to do it, it would probably be about 10 mins between feed and steaming the veggies... i guess within 30mins.
Im going to the starting solids lecture Friday, i will ask for you then if it is better to wait a bit or feed straight away.
poopy is getting hopeless with his bottles, it's driving me and mum mad
mum said in our days, they were told to give solids first, else they wont take them.
knowing poopy's fussiness, we gave solids so at least he'd eat that.
will let you know what happens. !! where's your lecture?
so sorry
