As I said to you on MSN sara, CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS

Leanne - hope Katy settles down for you.

OMG everyone I have some news.

My boy got to 3 hours between bottles and was very hungry and upset. So Mum and I gave him some banana and pear farex and omg he ate the whole lot with no fuss. I have tried this some time ago and I won't go there but had a hell of a time, esp with farex, liked other foods but went off them quite easily too, fussy kid. But anyway I put 70-80ml of milk in it so that gives you and idea of the serving size - it was huge. And I also put a bit of apple juice (that was already diluted) into some water to wash it all down and he drank that too, totally amazing. Then gave him his bottle and he drank 70ml, so that was a total of 140ml including what I used in the farex. I could put the rest down the tube of his 120ml bottle but I gather I won't push it. He has done so well, all the feeding hassles we have had and we have (I hope) finally turned the corner. I was meant to start solids yesterday with the help of a speech therapist but then she had to cancel and I said to Wade I am not waiting another week, we need to start, then we are a day closer to no continuous feeds overnite. Yay, one happy mummer, you just don't realise how good this makes me feel. We have been thru so much.

Now to tackle the nite time sleeping, one step at a time I guess.

Oh and I forgot to say the other day, we took Lachlan to Santa and got a photo and he smiled first time, he is such a clever boy, my friends bub got so many photo's cause she just wouldn't smile. It was just a shame he had a tube hangin out of his nose.
