tara- good to hear you're feeling better about sleep and solids. Its funny - you just want your baby to be like everyone elses....but they are so different. I think that when i wonder why Ella's not crawling or standing up by herself. I think - am I not teaching her properly?
Kim - just checked your galllery. No pics yet! We want to see how cute Chelsea was.
Gigi - we went forwards and backwards too with solids. Yesterday she had 2 baby spoons of breakfast and today she had 5 cubes! Everyday and every week is different for us. When she's teething (like now) she loves chewing on things rather than the fork mashed foods. So she prefers toast, bread with avocado or chopped dried figs or sultanas.
Well I'm suppose to be at work today but I'm at home sick. I had the most horrendous weekend throwing up. I havent had any solids since Saturday night which disappeared after an hour. Today I've just managed to stand up and walk. Luckily my MIL is here today to take care of Ella. I can barely pick her up. I think its gastro - its been lurking around the last few weeks. And now its struck. I got a call from work to see if i was really sick! - dont you love it.
Ann that is so rude! i cant believe work would ring you!!!! i'd tell them to stick it. you must feel like a trusted employee! i'd go in and start licking all their food and make them sick and then ring them in the middle of the night......too far?
yeah they always do that. it was the same when i was preggers. but the work is easy and they pay well... but maybe one or two licks of their butter wouldnt hurt
Just wondering if anyone else has trouble with poo-ey stains? evie's nappy exploded and i soaked everything in HomeBrand napisan for a day and have just washed them and they're stained.
Thanks ladies, will do!
I just spent half an hour standing next to the cot with evie holding my hand and me shhh'ing. so hopefully she'll be happy enough to have a good sleep.
I find that no matter how tight i tuck her in she still rolls over, everytime i go in during the night she's on all fours, like she sleeps on her belly then wakes up and doesnt realise whats going on
I dont think any of you ladies FF do you?? But might still have some ideas of what i can do/give instead.
Today at FDC Chelsea has had 2 full bottle in total (400ml out of possible 880ml), ate her yoghurt, fruit and vegies. But i cant get her to drink milk???? When she got home i gave her some juice and toast but i think played with it more then ate any.
I tried pieces of fruit on Saturday and she played with them. What else can i give her....i want her to eat foods that will fill her up. I dunno how to give her filling foods (like meats and pasta etc like she is supposed to be eatting cos im so silly).
HELP...... things have gone down hill in a day and im stressing!
wake up - Bottle 200ml
hour later - yoghurt or baby porriage and fruit pureed a little
lunch - vegies and pasta/meat or a sandwich with tuna and cheese
hour later - Bottle 200ml
dinner - Vegies and yoghurt
then bottle like 10 mins after 200ml
sometimes through the day i will give her some fruit as "finger food" and she has her water throughout the day in sippy cup
im looking into diferent things i can give her too she has had lasgane and spagetti before but didnt really like them!
maybe u could grab a baby/toddler recipe book or look online, i have been meaning to but cant really be bothered atm to tell the truth!!
How do you give her the vegies and pasta and stuff Blanche??
Just whole or mashed a bit or wat?? Im so damn clueless its not funny....
Chelsea doesnt know how to 1. hold a sippy cup and 2. drink from one...ive been trying but getting no where.....arghhhh im so useless....ill say it to the day i die.. wish she could live on milk for live cos i hate giving solids cos i have no idea what im doing!
kim i but the very small star pasta brand DIVELLA STELLINE 74 from safeway, saves having to mush big pasta up, sophie last night had that with spag bol that i had frozen into cubes for her from the previous nights dinner, sophie is lucky to have 1 tbs of brekky, 1 whole avocado for lunch with tuna and 3 cubes for tea, she then had approx 2 cubes of custard and fruit for dessert,
going to check out your pics now!!
WOW gorgeous pic kim~

Dont worry Kim, now I feel useless cos there is no way evie is eating anything that everyone else seems to be eating! she might have had a teaspoon or two of yogurt this morning, i might try some toast with avocado for lunch tho...by the way what does FF stand for? Force feed? What do you mean by that?
are you guys paranoid about baby choking? i really am and i think thats really limiting what i'm willing to try her on. like she loves sausage (actually she's happy to try anything) but i always pull it out of her mouth because she cant chew it up and i'm worried she'll choke
Night started off good for us slept from 615 til 1015 then was up every 2 hours plus took DH and I an hour and a half to get her back to sleep.
I am so over thinking. i have had enough with trying to work out what works and what doesnt. i'm trying to remind myself that she's a happy baby and thats what matters
We drank 180ml of a bottle this morning....better then nothing.....will have some yoghurt at 1040 and try a sandwich or something later....thank god i have my health check up tmrw...ill prob burst into tears when i ask what to do....
I worry bout giving Chelsea stuff to Tara cos she cant chew... but i spose they will never learn to eat or swallow if we dont try!! Craig freaks when i give bread
jols I love the piccie of sophie, she looks gorgeous... Isnt this age so much fun (well apart from the sleeping, feeding, getting sick stuff lol) they play with you now. I love it. Makes up for all the ick stuff
