Yes hes been sitting this morning! He's also waved a couple of times when I have! I'm not sure if it's a fluke though as I'm sure it's to early for that!

 

[babyloulou]

Suz- does Sammuel feed more when teething? Ben has been feeding like a newborn again yesterday and today!! He's not been interested in food much for a couple of months but now all of a sudden he wants it constantly!!! Teeth? Growth spurt? Ready for solids?

 

[kcw81]

Wait a minute suz you are joking! I mentioned teen mom twice in the past couple months you rascal! I think you discuss cloths a bit more often than that! U just think i discuss it alot cuz it's a boring off topic! It is boring and dumb but there is nothing else going on round here! Jimmys good he is napping and I have to go pump!

 

[SBB]

casey of course I'm only winding you up!!! I'd discuss it too if I watched it but it sounds like it would annoy me too much!!

Did any of you ukers see the dispatches program about birth? It was at MK hospital where I had sammuel...

Lou sammuel feeds more when teething. When he was ready to eat it was more about trying to grab food and whinging when we had it and he didn't...

Casey has jimmy got a tooth yet? I forget!!
What about lili?

X x x

 

[kcw81]

No teeth suz! Sammuel is a 1 yr old compared to Jimmy! He is just a late bloomer I think, although he was 2 days early outta me and yrs was late!

 

[babyloulou]

Maybe it is his teeth then! Can't see anything on his gums though- they look normal!

He still doesn't grab for food or anything!

 

[SBB]

Haha yeh true! I don't think he's a late bloomer at all. Totally normal not to have teeth yet. Some don't get them til 9 months plus...

I got mine at 4 months too apparently so sammuel obv takes after me!

[SBB]

Will you still give him food at 6 months then lou or wait til he seems more ready?

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

I'm going to start at 6 months regardless I think Suz. He might not eat much to start with so I don't want to leave it any longer than that. I was thinking of banana once a day for the first couple of days and then pieces of broccoli. What did you start with?

 

[SBB]

Same... Are you doing BLW?

We started with chunks of banana (it's easier for them to hold if you just cut a banana into 4 big chunks, we started with chip like pieces but they are too slippery!), brocolli, sweet potato, really ripe pear, stewed chunks of apple, and toast.

[babyloulou]

Yes I'm doing BLW. So can you give real butter on toast straight away? Is marmite too salty to give do you know? So did you cut up a full banana into four? So quite massive pieces?

 

[SBB]

We've only just given him butter today, I'm not sure of the 'rules' on it though!!

Don't know about marmite either, he hasn't tried it yet.

He likes it fine plain, I have tried it with mashed avocado on too but he wasn't too keen!

Yeh the banana is big, but easily biteable so he just bites chunks off.. although he has teeth I think that's easy enough with no teeth. Try both options though, i just found with chip size bits they were so slippy he couldn't keep hold of them!

Lili doesn't have teeth yet, but she's been 'teething' for months!!

Lou, I'd say marmite is too salty, but you can use unsalted butter on toast. Lili loves sucking the butter off her toast!!

 

[babyloulou]

Thanks girls

Do you use a mess mat on the floor? X

 

[kcw81]

Lou just use yr dog for cleanup haha! No seriously is there a product I should buy to put under the hi chair? I was wondering about this too Lou.

 

[SBB]

we don't but we have wooden floors. When he has cous cous or something REALLY messy we have a cheapie shower curtain we put under then shake out outside!

[SBB]

I think dog is by far the best option though

[babyloulou]

Ste has the dogs at work in the day though I'll buy a cheap shower curtain or tablecloth!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Buy a square of cheap oilcloth or plastic table cloth material from the Market. Works a treat! Xx
