alz - about solids. i have started thinking about it for a few reasons...

1) james used to sleep through without night feeds and now needs a 10pm dreamfeed and a 2 or 3am feed... then a 5.30am feed. midwife seems to think baby cereal will help.

2) he was a big boy at birth and has a big appetite. he seems like he can handle it.

3) his father was started on solids at 3 months and I suspect he might genetically just want to eat more.

mo - those easy suits... i wrote to bonds and had a huge whinge. every mother i know has had difficulty with them. the cuteness factor is all that's keeping them selling as far as i can see. bonds claimed that their 'research' suggested that mums love it. hah! right. my research doesn't show that. my easysuits are stuffed under the change table in disgust.

as for the nappies... he used to make it through the night but now i just change him every time i go to feed him overnight. i'm pretty sure the bigger appetite means the old nappy schedule just won't work out. he never used to feed at night, so that is probably why.

we're trying the rice cereal at the next feed. *crosses fingers*
