Rachael - Nick once gave Alex two 200ml bottles one after the other, when I went out. He said he was hungry. Sometimes he has 200ml when he gets up from a sleep and another 100 before going back to bed. About the solids - I'd say give it another go.

I bought some fruit in a jar labelled 7-9 months and it was as runny as the 4month one. The fruit and vege meals I make are not as runny as the jar ones, not lumpy, but thicker. Also, Alex just wont open his mouth when he's had enough.
