DH has just bathed T and is dressing him now. Sounds like they're having a great time! Lots of singing and giggling happening.

Today is actually the third day we've given T rice cereal. I spoke to my mum on Tuesday after a really bad night and she was strongly encouraging me to start T on solids (admittedly she was trying to convince me to do it at 3 months!). Then I got really weepy that afternoon from lack of sleep and decided to go to the GP to get T measured and ask the doctor if there was any chance I might have PN depression cos I'd heard that affected baby sleep. I asked him about starting solids and he just said the current guidelines were 6 months but of course babies had been eating solids earlier for a long time with no problems, etc. So I figured what the hell.

I'm not able to express much milk unless my breasts are engorged which doesn't happen at all lately because T has been waking up 3-4 times a night. So I've been giving him less than a third of the quantity the packet suggests. But that's plenty anyway to start I reckon! I'm not sure that he's lost the tongue thrust. He'll open his mouth nice and wide but then he sort of laps at the spoon. So maybe we should stop and try again in a while? I don't know... But after reading Dr Tal's post about avocado I bought one from the shops today and I'm going to give it to him as finger food over the weekend since Dr Tal's other post about the 3 day rule gives me the go ahead! The rice cereal hasn't helped T sleep longer so far. But maybe with more...

OK I know there's a food section on belly belly but a) I'm lazy, and b) I'm inept at searches, so... I still lack inspiration for dinners so can I ask you ladies what you've had each night for dinner the last week, and if you have a dinner plan for the next week what it is? I want to shamelessly steal some of your ideas!

Gotta go feed bub!
