Hi Everyone

good to see some action in here!!

Rach & Kass hope your bubba's start getting interested in food again soon! Leila eats very well but recently we got to the stage where I think she was getting bored with what I was giving her so I had a look around BB and found some great recipes and ideas so have started introducing new things and she seems very happy.

Question re food - those who are giving 3 meals of solids a day - how many breast/bottle feeds do you give? We were doing 5 breastfeeds but lately we are struggling and often the 4th & 5th feeds (particularly the 5th) is really just a comfort feed - I feed her to sleep. She used to 'feed to sleep' now she really just 'hops on the boob to sleep!' she's usually so exhausted that she's asleep within 2 minutes of attaching. She sleeps through and wakes up happy (not screaming like she's starving) and is putting on weight so I guess it doesnt matter. I'm just confused. I have a friend that kind of sets her clock and every 6 weeks or so drops a milk feed (more solids). I haven't really done this but now find Leila is just feeding less anyway. I notice it especially as I express when I'm at work and lately I'm struggling to get as much as I used to. Anyway, just curious as to what everyone else is doing and roughly how many milk feeds a day your little ones are having.

Well finally girls I have my gorgeous, happy little girl back!! 4 top teeth in a matter of weeks and now she is happy again. She is just soooo adorable! She talks/sings constantly, says 'dada' climbs on everything and gets into all sorts of mischeif!! It is so nice to have her back, poor little thing had such a tough time with her teeth. I have my fingers crossed that we get a little break now before the next lot of teeth come through!

Rach that's so funny about the difference in weight between Ethan & Evangeline!! Leila is about 8kg now so she's not particularly big either.

Just a note girls... DH, Leila & I are doing the city2surf fun run this year (14kms!) and trying to raise money for down syndrome as I have a nephew with down syndrome. I don't expect any of you to sponsor us but if you feel that way inclined there are details of how to donate on our FB page. If I don't have you on FB look me up!

Hope everyone is having a good week.
