Gah! Toy sales, I'm staying away haha, although I'll probably regret it later on closer to xmas time.
Amelia has taken to solids really well. We're on 3 meals a day which include rafferty's banana porridge for breakfast, leftover-whatever-we-had-for-dinner-the-night-before for lunch (today it was cottage pie) and for dinner she has some mashed up veggies. Dietician has advised us to start on the meats already so she gets the protein to help her growth and also to add margarine/butter/oil to her foods. She put on 50grams in 3 days so everyone was happy with that. I feel more comfortable now and am satisfied that she is going to be a wee little lass. It was the weeks of no gains that worried me but she's back on track now. We have a follow up with the dietician again in about a month.
Jennie, IMO 15weeks is way too early unless the baby well and truly exceeds the weight limit on the car seat for rear facing. My DS was rear facing until about 10 months. DD will be rear facing until she is over 8kg (rear facing limit on our seat). At this rate she will be close to 1 before I turn her around.
Yep it is normal for them to drink less milk when they start having solids. Bear in mind that milk is still the main source of nutrition, so offer the milk feed before solids to begin with then over the next few months you'll find the routine shifts around a bit. As they get older, they will naturally want less. Follow her guidance And as long as she is having lots of wet nappies and pooping regularly then she's all good!
