the most milk ethan has had in one go is 240mls. that was just before he started solids.. then with the introduction of solids, he went back down to 180mls. how is milo going with the formula now, rach? i agree with carrie about settling him on the bottle before going onto solids.. if he's anything like ethan, he'll be so unfamilar with the routine he won't take to anything.

carrie - 4 bottles of 240mls sounds like kyla is doing really well! does she drink that much everyday? i have a friend who's bub was 4 weeks premmie and she has a terrible time getting him to drink.

ethan had a really big dinner last night (he just kept opening up for more!)... and then he kept waking during the night. mum thinks it might be because he ate too much and had an upset tummy. so this leads me to wonder how much is too much? i heard from somewhere that he'll just push it away himself when he's had enough?

and also something else i wondered about going solid... i bought a jar of heinz baby food that was labeled 6months+, but the chunks inside were pretty big! are all of your bubs' still eating pureed stuff? i'm a bit worried to start on the chunky stuff in case it gets stuck in his throat.
