Kezzabird- BLS is baby led solids. I haven't read too much about it yet but basically I think it's giving them solids as finger food, so letting them feed themselves and choose what they want to eat.
I thought it meant baby lead solids but got confused when you said about doing a mixture of veggies and BLS, I didn't realize that it meant finger foods. I must be an old timer as I haven't heard of this BLS and letting baby choose.
Just a quick one from me, my last pump for the night before bed ....
Storm, Arlea is kind of mobile - she wriggles & squirms her way around, she got stuck between 2 bits of furniture this morning, lol. She is still getting up on all fours but doesn't go anywhere that way yet, and there is a fair bit of face-planting into the floor going on too!
Solids - it must be very very hard to deal with the 'my mum did this' bit. I guess you could remind your DP that times & advice changes... I don't know, I know it must be very hard to deal with. I started all my kids right on 4 mths, that was the advice back then, now with Arlea we are waiting a bit longer & I feel like it's taking forever! My nephew is a week younger than Arlea & SIL has started him on solids already. I felt a bit weird when she said that - like she might think I was odd for not having her on them already? I guess it doesn't matter what we do, there is always someone doing different...
Sarah, rofl - you could come & sort out my DH afterwards - I left the kids with him tonight while I went to work Christmas dinner - came home (he is in bed) and the two older kids tell me he was very stressed & swearing a lot, but wouldn't let anyone help him
Corey has a tooth! yay! I hope the next one slips out nice & easy for him ; ) Sounds like he is definitely ready for food. I think the guidelines are rough, it might vary a bit from bub to bub? Some would be ready before others? JMO, but he certainly sounds like he's enjoying it!
Miss E, hope the teething settles down soon, poor little guy (and poor you!)
Glad the Brauers is working for you, it's good to find something that helps even if it's just a bit. Just keep repeating - this too shall pass -
Cate, I have found Tizzie Hall's book at the library but I have some overdue stuff to return first, lol. I am going to try & get it by this Saturday, will definitely let you know what it's like. I have also wondered if Arlea could be teething - nothing to see or feel here either but I have a friend who didn't see or feel anything until they were there - so you never know Gotta love the raspberries lol : D
Naomi, that 's great news about the money - just in time for Christmas! Things have a way of coming when you need them sometimes. Hope you get some help from your DP soon, it's no fun feeling like a single parent when you have them to worry about as well!
AFM I had a bit of a melt-down today... I am so tired & stressed & over it all! DH has 2 weeks off with no pay over Christmas so I have been working as much as I can, at home & in the office - it's starting to wear me down a bit - and the kids are off school now too so there are the usual arguments & dramas to deal with. The house is a mess & I never have enough time to do anything! argh... well like I said I had a melt-down, sat & cried for an hour...maybe two but I feel better now. Tomorrow is another day
Hope veryone else is well.
Gee, so much for my short post
