Hello everyone, it's been a big week here. Amelia cut her first tooth I am so proud. I had taken her amber necklace off because I was worried it was getting too tight on her wrist. She was very grizzly and when I went to put bonjela on I found the tooth so I popped the bracelet back on and she has been handling it a lot better so I think they work. Not for every child though
She also sort of caterpillar crawls. We are still holding off on solids because she isn't quite ready. Basically they say if they can pick it up themselves and show an interest in eating in they they are ready. A lot of the other signs like watching you eat and opening mouth and chewing movements can actually just be babies strengthening their muscles for eating in the future and speech. That's what the book says anyway because Amelia was showing those signs but then didn't want a bar of food and just clamps shut and looks at me like I am trying to poison her lol.
I weighed her yesterday after Mothers Group and she has gained 250 in a week and now sitting at 6.7kg.
