wtg hayley on the uni parking! i can only imagine how hard it would be schlepping a bub and pram etc around uni! good on you and great they are taking action. i also want the ikea chair i think but not going to syd for another month so that may be leaving it too late i think! i am also looking at the stokke tripp trapp - other end of the scale on the $$ front but i ama sucker and i love the look of it LOL! (plus i just got my bonus from last yr so i figure noah may deserve something splurgy lol). however heaps of my friends have the ikea one and cant spk highly enough of it. lets just say for now his swing is getting VERY dirty!!!
re the solids, and i am no expert, noah still feeds about 3 hrly during the day (piggy piggy) - and as milk is the most important for them til 12 months i am cerful that the solids do not reduce his milk appetite. so yes def still give the milk feeds. for me, i do the solids about half way thru the cycle - so if he has a milk feed at say 7am, i feed him his solids at about 8.30am or 9am and then the milk feed later when he seems hungry, say 10am. does that make sense? i do the same in the afternoon but i am not especially scientific about it all! so far it is going well for us.
sherie - the easter hat parade sounds cute. you will have to post some piccies.
