Hi all!

Miss K has started rolling, started on Saturday and now rolls around her cot so she is in sleeping bags now, which has not helped with her sleeping, in particular day sleeps. She takes her dummy out or rolls over and won't roll back so cracks it. I've resorted to leaving her to whinge/cry a bit because otherwise I am constantly in her room during this time. A few times I've been out for a walk with the pram and she has had a snooze but that is short lived :-/ luckily she is still settling straight after her night feed and has a good block of sleep otherwise I'd be going crazy! If all else fails I'll resort to trying to wear her so I can get somethings done! Makes things a little difficult because if she has had no sleep and I've had to go out to pick Miss R up from school she is a nightmare in the car! Given she doesn't really like the car anyway it makes it all that much worse! I also had to pick Miss R early up from school today as she wasn't feeling well. On the way home she vomitted in the car, so between putting her in the shower, feeding Miss K and trying to settle her to sleep, washing and cleaning the carseat and car etc.... my plans for housework today have gone out the window!

We saw the MCHN on Monday. Miss K weighs 6.7kg now, a total gain of 1kg from last time. Her weighT gain is a little under what is the 'norm' for bf babies (130grams per week from memory) but she is still ropy poly and the McHN was ok with it. She asked if Miss k is interested in solids - how funny since we were just discussing BLS. Told her no and she was going to give me info on purees but told her that we are going with BLS or Baby Led Weaning as she called it. They haven't embraced BLS in our council so she didn't have any info but said she did it with her son! She said just keep an eye on acidic foods and avoid nuts,honey until around 12 mths. Don't go back until Miss K is 8 mths now, I declined the 6 mth visit but said if Miss K is not interested in food around 6/7 mths I'll come in for a follow up.

Well, looks like Miss K has finally settled for a sleep fx but Miss R had woken and wants some chicken soup.... Looks like I'll put that cleaning on the back burner for tomorrow!
