Glad all my fellow yeti-women are coming out of the woodwork again!
Noni - mmmm toast n vegemite, she's a happy little Aussie!We're not quite up to introducing wheat yet, bummer cos I'd love to give E some rusks. We're doing oats, and mango for the next couple of days, then some more veggies (sweet potato and potato), then she'll be 7 mo and I'll try some wheat. I've just been reading about SM-33 so I think we'll give that a go for her teeth, (I've never believed that bonjella works, based on my own experiences with it and wizzy teeth).
Jazmum & Cally, I hear you on the crazy nights, my sister kept telling me E had wind while we were there (on account of all the night time crying) but I'm not convinced. I still think it's teeth, combined with possibly some separation anxiety because Daddy suddenly disappeared for a week each time. At least I know it's not the food since she was like this before we started the solids. There was even controlled crying talk at our house last night (really it's beyond a joke now) but she's too little yet. I'm hoping she'll pop some teeth then go back to sleeping like she did with only 1 or 2 get ups every night (I can handle that alone)...if it gets closer to DH going away and she's still like this then it will have to be controlled crying or the sleep clinic, or I just won't cope. DH was practically delirious yesterday, he's been staying up and letting me sleep because I was sooo tired (he's like an automaton like that) but now it has taken its toll on him too.
Clare, meant to say re the cheese - perhaps try leila on yoghurt first for a couple of weeks, if she gets the rash with that you will know it's a dairy thing, and you can wait a month or two and then try again. The thing with cheese is, it's quite high in tasty food chemicals (amines) so the rash could be from that, instead.
Thanks all for your ergo comments, have convinced DH it's the way to go - now just shopping around for a MD bargain.
Gracie, I should've known you'd be in the thick of the batchelor watchers (I only ever watched the one with the tennis guy and thought it was Hee-larious)! I've not been watching much telly lately except for Doc Martin, Life Begins and *of course* Big Love...just saw two episodes I'd missed from the first series, man they were soooo good! Agree with the platinum, not sure it would help me be an effective single mother though LOL I'd be too tempted to stay at home all day everyday watching telly.
