thanks Jo and everyone on solids. it's so confusing.

I think Jo you arent replacing her bottle but feeding Caitlin in between?

This is what im doing.

he has a 5am feed sometimes (if he wakes up then) a 7, 8 am feed both BF and often falls asleep. when he wakes up, abt 10-11am i give him his meal, solids with about 30-60ml. he eats about the amt of the baby food that's in the jar, maybe more. then he has a sleep. the next feed abt 1pmish, he has 180ml. 4ish,5, i give him a bf, then an hr later solids with some formula 30-60ml.
Before bed he has a bottle and then in bed a BF.
He seems to enjoy his solids more than milk.
Re- teat, i've been using the peritalsic ones, some of them have variable flow. some are normal ones. it;s time to change teh normal ones. The LC recommended these for him over the Avent type ones.
i'm also goign to get a sippy cup.

I have an appointment w his GP on Monday, so will ask this. His excema is healing but has left whitish marks.. poor baby.

Skye - it's very confusing where you are at, at the moment.
Do you think Anth will change in that one month, if he's sincere, maybe you could try to give it ago, if you want. at least for a week. it's so hard for the kids..

shell - hornsby is good, there's a huge westfields there.

trina - oh hun, this is the alst thing you need. go get yourself checkout at the doctors'...
i'm going to go see a chiro when i get back, my body is so buggered.

danni - is jazz take anything for her phelgm, yellow sounds like an infection...

bron - yaay on the high chair

sj - im going to give poopy bread at around 7-8mths i think.

sorry not much personals, i think im getting a cold again it always happens when im about to fly back to Syd!!!

anyway, i have to gloat!!
Poopy's 6mths today!!! 0.5years!!!!! my baby's growing up so quick.
I'm gloating cos, although i've fiddled and farted and struggled with breastfeeding, I've made it to 6mths!! I know he gets formula as well but I never thought I'd ever get this far!!
I told steve I think I deserve a medal, and he said i deserve more than that. I feel so good about myself!
