Morning ladies,

Teresa, thanks hun. I'm going to a 'food talk' thingie on the 20th, I will see what they say. So far I have asked both the paed & the MCHN about starting solids soon, but they were both advising me that I should wait until 5/6 months. The reason the MCHN gave me was that b/c Cam has some eczema, she's worried it might get worse with solids and the solids might give him some allergies. Apparently that's why they recommend 6 months, so the bubs system is working better with processing foods & with the allergies. Most of my friends' bubs started on solids around the 4 month mark, so I'll have to look into it.

Mia, thanks for the info on the jumperoo!!!! I think they are great. I will definitely be going back to Target on the 22nd. I just hope I can get my hands on one!! His head support is heaps better these days, he doesn't mind being on his belly as much and is really lifting his head high now. What an improvement from even 3 weeks ago!!!! I got down to business with tummy time, cos the health nurse said he should be doing it at least twice a day, so have been making him do it. Poor lovie

Meercat, I hear you on the daytime distractions! lol. He seems to be so interested in everything around him, but I find that by going somewhere quiet he feeds better. I have also changed him to the tomee peepee bottle/teat and he's been enjoying that (Teresa, I think you are a big fan of these?????). I got him the medium flow one (I was too scared to get him the fast ones) but I sometimes find that the teat makes a funny noise and when he lets go the teat is amost inverted?????? Does it mean I should be looking into the faster flow one?????????? Hmm, should look into that.

Missawah, Harri is just a little star!!!! Cam is sooooo behind him, lol! He is getting there slowly though. I think you're right, we will all have the rainforest jumperoos!!!!

Hi Rooey, HB, Jelly, Con, ReeRee, and the rest of our lovely mummas!!!! Hope you and your precious bubbas are doing well.

I've got Cam's 4 month needles this Thursday, I am sooooo dreading them! Poor little mite, I have panadol on stand by
