With the solid feed i just realised how it sounded... I dont replace the MILK feed... The soid feed and top up are an in between her regular feed. Just thought if jayda was eating a whole tin may be cos the milk was being replaced with solids. Hope it didnt sound like i was saying replace the milk feed with just solid...

The rusks are fairly hard. They do break away but they take a while... DD has started chimping so she makes a big dent in them but i just turn them round if she makes them that sogy they break a buit... I mainly use them to keep her quiet while i have her in the highchair while i eat dinner or cook. That way i can keep a close eye on her... I have been using the chew sack thing more now as i like the fact that they cant choke... although DD sucks so hard on the netting that it has gaged her a bit so no more laying down and sucking on it. Only sitting in the chair or propped up now... DD has NEVER gone to anyone (except the 1st week or 2) only just started going to DP... Everyone is getting cranky but deep down i couldnt give a hoot... I love that she's a mummies girl... hehe

Bec i hear you on the cricket.. My BIL plays.... **YAWN** I already told DP basketball, football, soccer, anything but golf and cricket... DP already wants DS to get a motorbike... With childcare alot of places have a waiting list so best check round early. I'm starting up a little at home business witha friend... hopefully it'll be enough to keep me at home...
Also i have noticed if DD is well rested through out the day she is sleeping better at night also... you may be on to something...

well best be off DD is ready for bed... Gets cranky from 7 and wantss her bed...
