Erin, Emily must be loving her food. You've been a bit more adventorous than me though. So far Ashlyn has had banana, cauliflower, yogurt pancakes, pasta(plain and with sauce) and avacado. I don't know if she's actually swallowing any but she's having fun. That poor bloke with his leg, would have been pretty awful.

Pam, I was hoping to be able to hold Ashlyn off with the food for a while but she seems to know what she wants. I wish she wasn't too interested yet. Ashlyn isn't too hungry first thing in the morning either, but then she still eats 2 - 3 times at night!

Mel, I wasn't expressing to much either. It took me a week to get enought for Ashlyn to have a bottle. But I found the more I did the easier it was. I see you have your eye on that gorgeous night nappy on auction. Good luck getting it.

Lauren, Yay on fully bfing. That's fantastic. I'd never heard that cauliflower can give them wind. Not sure it matters though because she didn't swallow any.

Jo, don't stress if the sandman is too bulky. You can reduce the boosting or just wait till Xavier is a bit bigger. The fitted and wool covers are better at night because they are breathable. The pockets aren't, but if you are still changing nappies at night it souldn't matter. Depends how much they wet at night too. Both my girls are heavy wetters so the BBH just never lasted.

Well Ashlyn has her first cold. Must be the time for it. She had a temp last night but seems happier today. I have been using one of the nose sucker things to keep her nose clear so she can eat. Other wise nothing much else going on. She can either push up on her arms of get her knees under her, but not at the same time, so I don't think she'll be crawling anytime soon. I've started preparing the house though.
