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
