Hi All,

We got a bit of a fright this morning, woke up to Cameron talking, looked at my watch thought I'd read it wrong, checked the alarm clock - it said 8.05am. We all had slept in. Usually we are up between 6-7am, no later then 7.15am, so this has put our routine a little out of wack.

Well we did our first farex feeding today. Cameron seemed to like it, opening his mouth for the spoon everytime. It was hard to tell how much he had, as he wore alot of it, but I did see him swallowing. How long did everyone else wait to try it again? I was think of offering some more to him tomorrow morning if he is ok with it today. Would that be ok do you's think? Also how long do you's wait to put them to bed? Cameron was falling asleep in my arms almost straight after, so held him for about 10mins, then put him down.

Girl- my cousin's son is almost 3 years old.

Abb - let me know what your mchn thinks. I feel guilty having such a good sleeping baby - but it does make it hard to do enough feedings though.

I got Cameron weighed the other day. He is now 6.7kg and 64cm, so not a big boy, but still following the same percentile. I didn't think to ask about the feeds (it was rather busy at the baby clinic that day). With our 5 feeds, usually the 2nd one is not such a big feed, generally it'll be only the one side and not very long at that (and he tends to cry a little when I offer it anyway), so sometimes I wonder if that feed could be missed somedays, and the next feed would be brought forward a bit. Especially like today, as he woke late then fed at 8.30, we did the farex about 9.30, then by the time he wakes and has his next feed it will probably be about 12.30, so at that point, with half the day over he'll only have had 2 feeds, was thinking would probably do another about 3.30-4pm, then will still have to wake him about 7-8 for another feed. I think I might have to start setting an alarm again to wake up earlier (about 6-6.30) just so we can try to get in that extra feed. There just arn't enough hours in the day for feeding, sleeping, playing and now solids.

Better go get some housework done.

Bye for now,
