SS Storm - I don't formula feed either but I have found that Sam loves 2 ice cubes of pumpkin mixed with some farex (about 4 teaspoons) and a bit of water, and he absolutely loves it. I do make it still pretty watery while he gets use to it. I have been giving him this around 20 minutes after breast feeding. I have started solids in the morning now (half a jar of pear) and then lunch time.

Miss E - I hadn't thought of yoghurt for breakfast - is it okay to give them? Obviously if you are giving to Ash it is but I didn't know that and it would be good as I think he would really like it. The cruskits are a good idea too!

Lovelycate - I hope you get some routine worked out soon, it is hard when they are all over the place. I have been doing the solids as quite watery still so it isn't too much for his stomach.

AFM - Sam has settled down and even going to sleep at 6pm now without topping up. He has his mobile and a little soft toy that he can chew on as his two bottom teeth have come through. I have brought his 10pm feed back now to 9pm and he is still sleeping through so in a few nights I will make it 8.45pm then 8.30pm and then try dumping it all together! I will miss it though as it is a such a long time that I won't see him!

Also quick question, how long are you bubs staying awake for now? Sam is sometimes only an 1 1/2 hours still and then arround 1 3/4 hrs... is that still normal?
