Hi ladies,
Had a pretty crappy day all round. I got a call from the hospital today and it turns out that Olive has salmonella poisoning! We are absolutly mortified. They think and we think it is from our chooks. They are pretty much free range and even though DH wipes his feet and takes off his boots we think that it has somehow gotten into the house and as Olive is so mobile now she has picked it up off the floor as she likes to lick the floor boards ATM as she getting around. We are on notice to go to hospital if she gets worse or doesn't improve. It's hard though cause she is whingy etc to us but other people probably just think that it's normal baby behaviour. She also spewed for the first time tonight. I'm worried but hopefully she will get better without intervention. She is pretty happy really for a baby who is obviously sick, poor thing.

hj - all the nsw health websites state that babies shouldn't really have meat until 8mths so I personally will stick to this recommendation especially concidering that Olive isn't even 6mths yet. Wheat isn't recommended until 12mths as it can lead to allergies and celiacs disease or wheat intolerance but apparently it is ok in small amounts around 8-9mths. Obviously it's a personal choice but it might be worth doing some reading, I find the whole thing very confusing.
How's the new house?

didi - sorry to hear about Jorda, do you ahve a date for the MRI?
