zarava - don't feel bad about giving Z solids already hun, that is fine. I saw my GP the other day and he even RECOMMENDED starting solids anywhere from 4-6 months, depending on when the bub shows signs of wanting it. And apparently if they are able to take the food from a spoon and not push it out with their tongue, and are watching you eat and trying to get at it, then they are ready for solids. My DS is definitely not ready yet, but I would have no trouble at all giving it to him if I felt he was wanting it. It's hard when you want to do the right thing and be a good mum and there are always critics out there, but I think you are doing a great job!! Sounds like she is well and truly ready. I hope it helps increase the time between feeds and gets you a little more sleep at night!

Glad to hear that you are getting settled into the new house. It is sooo hard unpacking with a toddler!! And no, we don't have a mothers group this time around, I was thinking maybe it is only something they do with your first bub?
