Hi Carmey - I'm with Suz and going to put it off for as long as I can - Amelia doesn't seem ready yet anyway but given I have a wheat intolerance I don't want to introduce it too early due to the research done on the affect foods can have if their digestive system isn't ready - like Suz mentioned. Although again my sisters' kids all started on solids at 4 months and they're fine...........we do have eczema in the family though as well so I'd rather not take the risks. I would HATE for Amelia to have a food intolerance like me because it really sucks! I might start trying her on rice cereal in another month but right now she doesn't seem interested. If Jack is showing signs though they say that's when they're ready, my CHN said if they stare at you eating, try and grab your food etc they're ready. Good luck! He'll be fine! Boys and their food lol.

Hi Rose - lol a velcro baby, isn't it nice to be so wanted and loved

I took Amelia in to see the work crew today, yet again they were all asking when I'm coming back. I didn't say it but I was thinking it was the last thing on my mind right now and they won't see me before October if at all lol! It's quite muggy in Perth today though and how bad, when I was feeding her at the office she flung her head back and in the fold of her neck was a heat rash, I felt so awful! I guess you don't see in there. Poor thing, didn't seem to bother her but I feel so bad. Will give her a bath in a minny and get the sudocream onto it.

Hi to everyone else, Suz, Tilda, Hannah, Willow, Beany and anyone else I've missed. Hope you are all well. xx
