Mother of all conception months Graduates

Also waiting for news from Gilz about Noah :thumbup:

and thank you Ladies for all your lovely comments about my Sister and little Harry :flower:
 
We posted at the same time Gilz :dohh:

So glad you have answers but blahhhhhhhhh at surgery fxed it doesnt come to that :nope:

I thought they might say wean him now :wacko: Powdered baby rice is made with formula but can also be made with cooled boiled water in pretty much the same way you make up bottles and purees dont have to be made with milk to bind them hon :nope: I use the water the veg is boiled in :thumbup: I dont mind running through what I do if you like :shrug: My intention is to avoid giving Charlie food with milk in it right now to see if he too has some sort of milk intolerance :shrug: so I am making everything with alternatives except of course his formula so I can see if it makes any difference to his unhappiness iykwim!
 
Thought I would recommend my weaning bible ;) I had this book when I had Oliver and he just loved the recipes (along with some of my own I made for him!) I passed it on it a friend after I finished with it but I went out and bought a new one the other week :thumbup:

Amazon currently have them on spesh and not only is it packed full of recipes it also has the most handiest weaning tips I have every read :thumbup: Its easy to understand and it makes sense ;)

Aw gilz hun,I really hope it doesn't come to surgery.I have fingers and toes crossed this new milk and weaning does the trick.
I don't understand why they never tried this formula before on account of him being so severe.
Like madly I just used to puree fruit and veg in their own juices,or with a little of the formula.Probably rather untasty but my boys never complained!I never really added normal cows milk until they were 10/11 months and practically off the formula.


Madly,sorry forgot to say earlier I'm so glad your sis and harry are home!x
 
Thanks Madly I actually already have that book. I'm allowed to give him the baby rice with his formula but it rules out so many shop bought things.

I know jar feeding isn't really looked at as ideal but it had been my plan for the first few weeks until I worked out what tastes Noah liked and didn't like. With me being essentially a single mum I can only get time to make and freeze stuff when my OH is home so that's not for another fortnight so in the meantime itll need to be the few jars of baby foods that don't contain any of the things he can't have. It's amazing it's not just milk I need to look for, the book they gave us has a list of things you need to look for and it's two columns worth down an a5 sheet of paper.

If you've got recipes etc that you use that aren't in that book Madly I'd be really greatful if you could pm or email me them. That way when my OH is home next I can get loads made.
 
We mashed rather than pureed but I never added any milk to anything except porridge. Can't you just make your own purée so you it's just veg or fruit? I hope it doesn't come to surgery. :(
 
gilz might be cheating but if u geet time for doing it yourself i already cook veg in the microwave its far quicker. so you can do it in minutes or i beliebe i have seen agadget that cooks and purees
 
Glitz, I'm glad you're getting some answers now :hugs: I know you don't want him to have an operation, but he's in the best place if it comes to that. I'm terrified when Alex will have his operation, even though it won't be for years. :( I agree with PB. What if you make your own? Then you can control what you put in. You could have a friend come over and watch Noah for a bit while you get it done :flower:
 
Oh I know I'll be able to do it quickly but during the day I struggle to get time to leav Noah to go for a pee let alone cook stuff. He goes from fine to puking so quickly. It'll just be much easier to dedicate the time to it while Marc can look after him.
 
aw gilz its hard to understand how difficult it is for you, i only ever used to do the pureeing when dh was at work lol he was forever stealing the meat and taking a few potatoes, meat and some of the veg for a "pre dinner snack" its one of those things that if you have the energy and a sleeping baby all night then yes it is very easy but gah the amount of times i wished i hadnt started doing my own and got him on jars instead, my food must have been much better as he still wont eat anything jar/packet or anything

i hope that he avoids the surgery too hun xkx

well well well . .. i have been mia today as the only time i get time to come on here during the day has been when leo is in his corner. today he was in it only once. and even then for a pathetic attempt at throwing a mini fit....

it seems to have just clicked today! he has been scared three times (hoovering and two gay tv fuzzs) and each time he just stood there, waited for me to come over and then he cuddled me! thats what he used to do!!!! he has been told no several times as well (noot getting his own way set him off before) and he has accepted the alternative given eg no you can not have dairylea dunkers for breakfast you can have museli or toast, no fussing just got the butter out the fridge! so i thought right, this boy has not eaten a hot meal for almost 10 months now i wonder if he is turning a corner so i cooked him spag bol, he only chuffing ate the whole lot and seconds! and then ate fruit pots that have been sat in our cupboards for 10 months and ladies this was the first time he has eaten meat in a year!!!! i am really really hoping we have turned a very steep corner with him, now its just a case of getting him out and about i think,all the toddler groups around here reopen in a few weeks, i have found an arty place not far from here i may take him to on the next rainy day!

so excited to have my happy boy back! i hated having to discipline him so frequently, yesterday the last 5 hours he was awake he was almost always being disciplined one way or another

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
 
Oh Nomore I'm so chuffed you had a good day with Leo :hugs: hopefully he's feeling a bit more like himself :thumbup:
 
gilz,i know some might shoot me down but i will be using jars to start with while he is simply weening and getting used to food,i simply feel happier doing things that way. when things progress then i'll start blending or mashing some of the things we eat.

hun you have to do what works for you, and for as long as noah is ill and youre run off your feet day and night theres simply only so much you can do. :thumbup:
 
the jars just make me feel sick lol i hate combined food lol will need a hand pureer thing lol
 
I just smelt Noahs new milk that'd make anyone feel sick!
 
or just keep putting food in front of her till she picks it up
 
ewwwww. freaky babiesi hate sma let alone anything else
 
The specialist said that hypoallergenic milks all smell bad but that this one smelt the least bad. I don't even want to think about how bad the others must smell!
 
I think we all parent the way we feel comfortable, madcat :flower: I've just come to accept everyone's methods even if I don't agreed so you go with what works for you and Bailey :)
 
thanks gilz honestly i am really hoping he has turned a corner on this behaviour!

i keep saying i am going to use jars this time round, i primarily made my own food because it is supposed to make them less fussy for some reason. . . well the fact leo has had one meal with meat in it for a whole year throws that one out the window lol

i think what i will do this time is make a little extra of my own food and blend it instead of spending ages making up specific things, i have sweet potato, parsnip, carrots, normal potato, cooked fruit at some point each week, if i have it in the freezer i have it in the freezer, if not then it will be a jar
 
Evening

Great news gilz and I hope it works!
On the weaning front I think doing your own is so much easier but that's my opinion and from a lazy person its weird lol I tried jars with Caden but he hated them he liked the puddings but not anything else! I'm gonna start soon and I have three books lol my sister did it all for me last time so it's scary to do it on my own!

Kate glad Leo has turned a corner I hope he keeps it up!!!

I'm currently dream feeding Caleb lol he's slept through his 8pm feed! I have loads of jobs to do before bed :( but gotta get them done

Xx
