Thank you!! Your LO is too - I love the avatar pic!
We're doing pretty good. My LO is teething at the moment....she just got her 1st tooth about 10 days ago - not long after her 1st birthday. The 2nd one is on its way, so not much sleep in our house..
1. What was the first things you gave your LO and how often? When did you move on to other things? And did this first portion replace a whole bottle or just half or...?
2. How did you even know your LO was ready? My boys are somewhat behind in certain things so I am not sure if they are ready? I read they have to be able to hold their head really steadily, observe you eat and reach for your food and be constantly hungry.

oh,for all of you going through teething - we are trying teething granules and they seem to help![]()
wanted to share this - can't believe what just happened
our usual (simple) bedtime routine is bath/wash and nurse to sleep. sometimes he doesn't fall asleep on the boob so he starts playing and cooing and after a while, when he gets properly tired i rock him to sleep.
so we were in bed, and he was all happy chatty going gggghhhaaa, bbrfffffffff, uh-uh-uhhh etc etc when all of the sudden, he got hold of his blanket, turned onto his tummy and fall asleep, just like that!!!!![]()
Sabrina, Kia would often get fussy days after big days, at one point it was better for us to alternate a quiet day in with a day out. Nowadays she seems pretty happy to be out and about most days. Clio, we stopped being able to get Kia to nap during the day about 3 months ago - unless I feed her to sleep or she's in her buggy. Otherwise she just screams and sobs even if she looks really sleepy. We did manage to get her to go to sleep at night once during the festival by lying her down inbetween us, but it's very rare these days. I'm just going with it at the moment and hoping she grows out of it. Also, she'll be starting nursery in a couple of months so I figure that they'll have to find new ways of getting her to nap and hopefully this will help me outside of nursery time too! Hey, I just made some tuna croquettes for Kia because I gave her a bit of fishcake in a cafe yesterday and she loved it. She seemed to really enjoy the croquettes too although she did make a right mess in the process. Then she refused to eat her puree afterwards which is the first time she's ever refused a home-cooked puree. I might have to do some more BLW recipes. It's very cute to see her feeding herself, she clearly loves it. So, we got back from the festival today as we stayed with some friends for a couple of days afterwards. We'd forgotten to put the cat net on the cot and the cat had very clearly been making himself very comfortable in the cot while we were away as it was absolutely covered in his hairs. It's funny because I've gone out before and forgotten to put the net on it and he didn't sleep in it. Maybe he thought we'd left it for him as a special treat!
ah clio bless you - martha wont nap more than 20 mins at a time during the day usually twice but sometimes 3 times - and wont nap unless shes taken for a walk![]()
Indigo--is it a one day up, one day zonked out thing? Does he catch up on the sleep he missed the next day? J will do this; eventually his refusal to nap ends up in one lovely day where he will sleep all day long... And so will we.

Doubt it...
But at least last night wasn't so bad. He fell asleep @ 9:30...had dream feed at midnight-ish, and got up at 6 am, had another bottle & went back to sleep.
I think I'll go back to bed.
I hope everyone enjoys their day.....![]()
