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?
Sorry Prama went to bed :P
Lecture is at the main CMH centre in our area - i assummed that every council funds something similar, but maybe not. We have 4 lectures that we can go along to through out our babies first coulpe of years, solidis, bringing them home, positive parenting and one other i think. Good i dea i reckon.
Well what was i saying last night about MJ sleeping through... she did it last night i am awake only cos my boobs are full, she is still asleep. Luucky i have the breathing monitor - i freaked out this morning thinking the worst reason why i hadnt heard her in the night...
I changed her bedding last night. popped her in a sleep suit (was given a 2nd hand one) and took some of the blankets away (i had so many layers on her they probably were heavy).. so that may have done the trick - either that or it was just a one off and i will be up aain tonight
Anyway, have a great day everyone..
Oh Prama - this is a silly question, but have you upped the size of the teat on the bottle lately??? Maybe its a flow thing - i know some of the girls in MG were having fussy babies at the bottle and it was cos they needed a faster flow - and poopy is almost 6mths, so he possibly needs the next size up????
Don't worry yourself Prama, honestly he would have probably dropped the feeds anyway, Summer isn't too interested in big bf very much anymore. It doesn't always fit for me to bf then feed solids straight after so i usually do it somewhere between feeds then bf her after, he is your little man so you know him best, plus you are putting milk in his food anyway it's all trial and error some babies don't want food straight after a bottle they are too full to fit it in so you could give him a little bit of bottle feed him solids then offer the rest of the bottle or feed an hour or two after a bottle whatever works. Like i have said before you can't do everything by the book so don't feel bad.
I can't remember what else i was going to say.......... I had better go get the girls out of bed
