Hey Belinda - LOL about the milk. Sometimes they are little piggies! I often get asked if Caden is formula fed cos he is so chubby, not that I think that should make a difference, unless I was feeding him too higher concentrate? He seems to chub up, then have a length-spurt, then looks alot slimmer for a while. He has consistently been 75% height and 75% weight, however recently he went up to 90% height, but same weight. He hasn't grown in length since then though, but his weight is now 9.2 kg so am thinking he has dropped back to 75% again. (numbers numbers, my kindom for numbers)

As for solids, I gave some to Caden when he was 4 months old just to see how he went cos he was fussy after the boob sometimes. Maybe once or twice since really knuckling down at 6 months. I have increased his intake now after chatting to Ngala, as I don't think I was giving him enough because he always ate the whole amount! Last night I challenged myself to find the "bottom" of the "bottomless pit" that is Caden's tummy. It equaled to pretty much 250 mls of solids, or 2.5 jars full. I gave him pumpkin and sweet potato (about 6 ice cubes I think) then some apple (a jar) then some rice cereal! By the time I got to the rice cereal he had slowed down considerably and eventually stopped. I normally would have given him HALF that amount, LOL. He still woke up at 3 am for a feed, but at least he had a fuller tummy for bed and wasn't as irritable.

As for teeth - Caden is def like this when teething. He is off his food a bit more and harder to settle. (immuz combined with teething make for a VERY unsettled bubba). Sounds like things are moving for sure.

Hoody - likewise, Caden never got rozy cheeks, but did get a spot of NR. I hope it doesn't get worse for Molly like before! Maybe apply lashings of Bepanthen as a pre-emptive strike and cross fingers.

As for us - one top tooth, coming and going (I think the gum must heal over for a bit or swell up, thus hiding newly cut tooth?) and one still right there under the surface. I wish I could wring that tooth-fairies neck for taking her darn time!

Lots of rolling onto tummy which is great. He does this weird tummy shuffle thing that I guess is a pre-cursor to crawling as he tries to reach a toy. Great at sitting but even though he can sit without me touching him, he likes me right there otherwise he topples over. I am his security-mumma or something.

Heaps more settled now after immuz and those teeth!

Have a great week everyone!
