Anna, the bubs do go through an unsettled period around 3 -4 months. It's good that food helped Riley for Adele, but most mums find that food doesn't fix it, as it's really not solids that they need. In fact it can make it worse as for many bubs at that age their digestive system isn't ready. It's entirely up to you, but I personally wouldn't try food yet. Like the 6 weeks growth spurt, this fussy period usually passes. Jack went through it but didn't even want solids at 6 months. He was at least 8 months before he'd take even a teaspoon of solids and has really only started eating well in the last month (at 22 months). The signs that a bub is ready are losing the tongue-thrust reflex, getting teeth and showing interest in food, although showing interest in food alone is not enough. The other two signs are more important. At the very least I would test the tongue-thrust reflex before trying food. If their instinct is to push food out of their months then I take that as a good sign that they are not ready for food.

Rikki, sorry I forgot to say before, how awful for you to have lost that bracelet. I really hope it turns up for you. Any chance your insurance will cover it if it doesn't turn up?

I hope all the unsettled bubs settle soon.

Tom is going through it too, and is definitely starting the teething signs too. At least Jack is being really good and sleeps well even though he is teething.

Time to go and make Jack's lunch.
