Andie - I was dreading the 12 month ones as Jack really suffered the other ones. But to my delight he breezed through them and was a happy camper for days afterwards. I think it helps not being in the legs and not having the rotavirus liquid. I also waited a few weeks after he turned 1 as he had constant colds and I think that also helped.

Jack has 1/2 a sandwich (one piece of bread folded over), fruit (mandarin or strawberries) and a tub of yoghurt for lunch. He also has fruit time around 10.00am which is a big platter of fruit he can pick from. Yesterday at child care they made banana smoothies, which was a massive hit with all the bubbas, and cruskits with dips for afternoon tea. I asked what the dips were and they said french onion, tziki (or however you spell it) and avocado. I would never think to give him normal dips like they did. The kids all loved to dip the cruskit fingers in the dips.
