Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know we did and Sam was very spoilt!!
Miss E - glad the teeth are through, sounds like you had a hard time for a while and I am not looking forward to it!!
We started Sam on solids about two weeks ago and he is absolutely loving it. Took to it like he had been doing it for years. We are giving him pumpkin mixed with farex and some apple this week as well. We have noticed that he is very gassy since we started and seems to grunt a bit. He is also not doing a poo for around 3 days. I am only feeding about 1 table spoon per day or half a jar of food. Is anyone else experiencing that? Is it just their body adjusting??
I have started sitting him up and he is putting his hands out as though to try and balance which is lovely and he is pushing his legs alot when on his tummy so I don't think it will be long! Can you believe that they will be 6 months soon??? I can't believe it!
Anyway, hope everyone is well and had a great festive season. I am enjoying having my husband at home for 2 weeks but it would be nice if it stopped raining!! We do need it though!
I have been mixing the farex and pumpkin with a bit of water and a bit of breast milk. I have been making it pretty runny. When I put the pumpkin through the strainer I do it with water too so there is a bit in that too They say actual constipation is if his poo was hard but it is thicker than what it was before but by no means hard. He just only goes every couple of days and farts a lot!!! Just wondered if this was normal as they adjust?
what a fabulous time of year! Sounds like everybody is having a good time, and a few babies starting on solids too. While Zac has been having farex for over a month, I've only recently started introducing new things, which is very entertaining.
Jasp - Z is similar with banana. The most gorgeous face which seems to be a combo of disgust and apology, like "I'm really sorry mum but this is awful"
Miss E - ouch wrt teeth. I hope he gets past that quickly.
Jetta - apparently you should start offering supplementary water once you start solids - not just what's in the food but water to drink as well. Maybe that will help?
AFM - no sign of Zac sitting by himself yet, but he has worked out how to roll both ways, and can cover a surprising amount of territory by just sort of squiggling about :-)
It's so lovely having DH home. He works such long hours during the week that he hardly sees Z during the week, so they have been having some lovely daddy and son time. And, since we're not getting up to have breakfast with him and see him off in the mornings, we're getting a bit more sleep! - still waking up, but going back to bed for cuddles and stories and then a nap before really starting the day. Feels very indulgent!
