Hey ladies! I have been reading regularly but on my phone it's too hard to do a proper reply, so here it is now that I'm on a desktop

Solids - isn't it a bit early? Everything I've read has said exclusive milk (be that breastmilk or formula) for a minimum 6 months, and that milk as main diet is suitable for upto 12 months. So that's what we're sticking with, anyway. Baby led weaning. J is such an easy feeder now, he's done in 5 or 10 minutes and hardly needs burping. We won't be feeding him mush and rice cereal etc, rather just tastes of what we are having. It's supposed to be really good for them to learn to pick things up, put in their mouths etc rather than being spoon fed. Seems like everyone's beautiful bubba's are thriving and happy, which is great

Pholi wow you guys are lucky DP had 4 months off, it must have been so hard for him to go back to work though? DH had 2 weeks off over christmas, the company shuts down, so that was nice. We didn't do much though. You don't suppose Thor's sleep is being affected by the heat? On those 40 degree days J was really disturbed in his sleep. Once we got the portable air-con though and the room was cool he settled back into what he was previously doing. Love your little rhyme too.

Welcome Tricia! I'm in Perth, Morley area. If you would like a real 'meet', I'm keen I don't go to a mothers group or play group because I'm finding it difficult to find ladies with the same ideas etc. So if you're into attachment parenting idea's (babywearing, co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding, baby led weaning etc) let me know!

Miss Dee I hope you guys had a nice date. How'd Arya go, and you? We went to see The Hobbit.. I didn't like it. But then I hated Lord of the Rings too. But DH LOVES it.

Anyway that's all I can see on this page, so hi to everyone, Kirley, Tal, Chrispe, Terry... and I know there's more but I'm so sorry your 'names' have just disapeared!

So, ASFU, J is doing great. Currently sleeping peacefully *goes to check* DANG IT he's just started to stir so I'll wrap this up. He's what.. 70cm? and just under 7kg. He's slender alright, with some chub on the legs. He's rolling from back to front, and plays in that position for upto half an hour. But he can't roll front to back yet. He's sleeping usually from 10.30 till 4.30 (roughly) but has had a couple nights where he has woken more frequently. Anyway I better go now xx
