I would be hovering too! If they are happy for their babies to eat Bertie Beetles for breakfast well that's their issue bit they need to respect your choices for your babies grrrr it makes me cranky too when other 'well meaning' people decide to override you.
We haven't started solids here yet, she watches avidly hen we eat but I don't want to offer just yet. I sort of want her 100% well before adding anything else to the mix ITMS. She looks like she wants wants to eat when we eat, but if she got hold of a clump of dog poo that would go straight in her mouth too lol so it could be just that she wants what we have food or not.

The Amby hasn't made any difference to G's sleeps so I don't think we'll be buying one. She has slept in it a couple of times but not for any longer than usual so no point spending the extra money. I however would love an adult sized one for myself
