    PP - Mia goes to bes at 8pm every night, roll over feed at 11. see if i dont she does still sleep right through till 7am but from about 3 its tossing and turning etc. So 11 is when i usually go to bed and she hardly wakes for it and goes straight back down.

    re solids - i have a feeling Mia will be on them about 5-5.5 months. she tries and grabs my food now the little piggy.

    I'm most probably won't start solids until around 6mths as I did with Cody and even then he wasn't ready and started more like 7.5mths.

    Hollye when you move up here I'll help with Mia if you need it .

    Big to everyone who's AF has decided to return.

    hugs xoxo

    oh nice hollye!

    SO any news on the brissy front?

    Well i tried something new with ashley tonight. (from the tv show today lol).
    We did our usual bedtime routine. Then i turned off the light and sat in the chair silently next to her bed, She climbed off once and i put her back telling her it is bed time. And in less then 10 minutes asleep!!!!!

    No screaming, no crying nothing!

    wow i hope it wasnt a fluke and actually will work each night. 10 minutes is better than 1.5 hrs screaming.

    Anyhow solids, yep ethan isnt really interested. DH let him suck the juice from a grape the other night lol!!! I am a big fan of child lead feeding. so will probably do that with him. Did it with ashley too - let her lead on the chewing front. ie giving her a 1/2 banana rather than mushing it etc.

    oh PP that's fabulous, I'm so happy for you!

    Teru - thanks for the offer, must admit I hate doing our books, but I'm trying to get more organised... ... at the moment it's not even in a good enough state to get someone else to do it (which I toyed with last quarter...) one day I'll be more sorted, but until then

    don't think we'll start solids till 6 months... X is showing no signs of being interested at all. I haven't yet started looking at BLS, but I'm very intrigued and plan to look into it more. We're doing a dream feed tonight - X was fussy today, feeding more frequently (then spewing it up lol), so given his last feed was 5.20pm! I love dream feeds when they work - they're just so adorable.

    Sorry to hear AF is here for you Belfie & Sami. Wow, I wonder when I'll get her??? BJ is nearing 6months. Though I'm ovulating again. I need to wear a thin pad. Gross. I don't know if you remember but I was complaining a while back of how I woke up in the middle of the night with wet jarmies. Well the last couple of days I've been very wet down there. Sorry TMI... It's alot thinner then EWCM, but I'm guessing that's what it is. AF didn't show last time this happened so I hope she doesn't show this time either.

    RE: Starting solids... I went to a talk at the clinic about starting solids & I told the lady (I guess shes a MCHN) that I didn't want to start solids till BJ is 6 months, in accordance to the WHO recommendation. And she said that you should start as soon as the baby is showing the 'signs' otherwise you could be delaying their speech & development & that recommendation is cause there are countries out there that don't have quality food therefore bubs would be best only on BM till 6mths, but here in Aus our food is a very high standard so best not to delay it if bubs is ready. Interesting.

    SAMI How is Z? Do you think he's teething early? I think BJ is. These uncontrolable bouts of crying, or should I say screaming... He wakes up screaming & is really hard to re settle. My sister thinks that teeth grow while sleeping. What do you think?

    HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

    Morning All, and Thanks re V.

    Georgi - When I spoke to you re ewcm, I ended up getting it and got AF TWL. I must say what a terrible AF it was too.

    Belfie, Sami - Me too!!!! Got AF yesterday too, second time for me so looks like 29day cycle here too. I am expecting AF to be bad like last time...

    PP - Thats great news about Ashley, so glad she slept without any dramas last night.

    I hope all you girls have a great Valentines day today, DH and I dont buy each other anything except exchange cards and go out for a nice dinner together. Have done this every year and we are heading upto 18yrs married. Where does the time go...
