    Hi everyone

    I also found that the No Cry Sleep Solution was great for reassuring me that what i was doing wasn't the wrong thing, seeing everyone I speak to seems to think it is!

    Tahlia is still having 2 meals a day, she kind of went backwards a bit with the solids when she was sick, so I am trying to build up on the quantities at the moment. For those BF bubs out there who are eating any type of baby cereal/porridge, what do you mix it with? Boiled water, breast milk or full cream milk?

    Rebecca - for freezing baby food, I just use ice cube trays and then when the food is frozen, I put it into labelled snaplock bags

    Trish - hope K's rash clears up for you soon. Have you changed the stuff you use in the bath for him, or what you wash his clothes with? Way to go on the clapping... I'm trying to teach Tahlia 'all gone' at the moment when you put your hands out to the side when her food is gone, but she hasnt got it yet

    Mo - glad to hear you mum has settled in well. Dont ever feel bad about expressing yourself to us, thats what we are hear for!

    Happy belated 8 months to Kieran, Tahlia, Logan, and Happy 9 months to Myles.

    Hope everyone is well. I am improving (slowly), if only I could get rid of this rotten headache and stuffed up nose. Panadol is doing nothing!

    trish - it's very curious about k's skin. you never know. i'll say this - james had the squishy poos again the day i gave him a rafferty's packet, and he also had avocado that day. when he had cheese, he just looooooved it, but was a fartbag who was impossible to settle. no more dairy till 12 months methinks.

    he's like a science project, i just put stuff in front of him and watch what happens. he even guzzled a couple of strawberries because i am a bit naughty. i know they're highly reactive but... it seemed ok... *cower*

    i hope you work out what's making K patchy!

    Thanks Viv! I stopped giving him the Rafferty's porridge since the weekend and his rash hasn't flared up since, interesting... I wonder what could be in it that would cause a reaction like that? I haven't tried dairy yet, now your making me scared!

    Kellie - I don't put anything but water in K's bath. Even Joel still only gets washed with water, I have sensitive skin so assume my boys will too. I've been using the same washing powder since K was born, it's the Aldi Trimat Sensitive one, so I don't think he's reacting to it? Who knows?! Re: porridge, I was putting just cool boiled water in K's before I stopped giving it to him. He really liked it. K is on three meals a day, I was a bit slack recently with not giving him lunch some days, but he didn't put on as much weight this time at his last check so I thought I'd beef him up! (Not that he needs it)

    Trish and Viv - was it the Raffertys Multigrain baby breakfast that you were using? I've been giving that to Tahlia mixed with pureed apple and pear

    Viv - what do you mix the porridge with?

    We just use regular oats now to make big kids porridge! Didn't have much luck with any of those 'first' cereals. I make the porridge with water and a little full cream milk Kellie. According to my 'resources' Boiled full cream milk is ok from 8 months. So i cook with the milk, don't add it cold.

    I have been hanging to give her strawbs, they look so juicy and yummo, and an easy snack.

    As i type, the guni was having some nappy off time, she just stood holding the furniture and layed a log on the floor!!!!!!!! Better go tend to that. Lucky it's not carpet.

    Ange - what a lovely mess to clean up... not!

    i've got the baby porridge with apple (i think its the bellamys one), so might make it up with some heated full cream milk and some boiled water then.

    Trish - congrats on the 2000th post!
