    hj - I will probably try apple or pear next but I was thinking I might cook and puree some pumpkin to freeze for when I go back to work. I find it kind of confusing as to how much to feed Olive. I started off with a teaspoon then have slowly built it up so last night she ate about a tablespoon. Mum said to keep her on rice cereal for a couple of weeks then introduce one new food every few days and build up the amounts slowly. How much is B eating?

    Maybe there is something wrong with Jorda.. she sleeps sooo much during the day and then sleeps sooo much at night time.. all night.. mm I just wish Ben was like that when he was little.


    Off for a run and the gym again!

    Hi Girls,

    Hollye - I lost 2.3 kg this week, can you add it to the list please.

    I am not starting Lara on solids until 6 months but it is interesting to read what you girls are giving your bubs. Cant believe how quick our little ones are growing.

    Lara sleeps approx 9pm until approx 7 am - 9am overnight and then after her first bottle she goes straight back to sleep until around lunch time, then is up for a few hrs, then has an afternoon sleep around 2:30pm for an hour or so then is up until bedtime, sometime she might have a few cat naps in between her afternoon sleep and bedtime.

    She still doesnt have any teeth, I keep checking everyday but I don't think she'll get any anytime soon, DD1 got her first tooth at 7 months but once she got her 1st her others came so quickly after, lucky she never had any real problems teething.

    Has anyone done water aerobics before? Is it really hard? I am interested in going. I am really unfit though and will be shame if it is a real struggle.

    I get my implanon removed next Monday so I guess its back to the pill for me.

    hj - Olive is still only having one 'feed' of solids per day. I have been giving it to her at around 5:30pm. How about B?

    Hollye - oh no, I hope Mia isn't going through the same stage as Olive and B.

    Leigh - congrats on the weight loss. Is yours purely due to diet or have you been exercising more too?

    Olive is generally a good sleeper(has had a few bad nights of late) and is so much happier after a good nights sleep. She has been down since 6:30 so am hoping she sleeps better tonight after a huge play, solids, a bath and a big feed of bm. Olive has no set times for feeds. I still just feed her when she is hungry which is generally every 3-5hrs but sometimes she just snacks. She always goes back to sleep after her first morning feed for a couple of hours though and generally doesn't go longer then 2hrs without a sleep in the day. I want to get her into a better routine but I don't see how and would rather follow her lead.
