thanks everyone for your input..i was told by a doctor the other day that most don't recommend feeding anything but breastmilk or formula until 6 months but some babies are ready as early as 4 months but not to do it any sooner than that and to look for the cues. madelyn is a little over 4 months and has all the cues so we gave it a try this evening and she loved it she only had a few bites because i didnt want to over do it and she got mad when i took it away

hello ladies, can't believe how big all these babies are getting already!! It doesn't seem like I've been away from here as long as I have, but everything has been super busy and hectic. Took a promotion at work to a store manager so been really busy with that too!! Kyleigh has been great, She has been on baby food for about a month now and eats it like 2-3 times a day. She is getting big rolling from her tummy to back, but can't get from back to belly yet and she is fully giggling now which i think is the cutest thing on earth. Hope everyone else and their little ones are good!!!

I'm with you Huggles and Pip. We'll definitely be waiting a while yet till we try weaning. Having said that I'll take my lead from Ioan. He is 16 weeks and weighs a massive 20lb 6.5ozthough eats a lot less these days than he did in January - bizarre! Our health visitor said to try to hold on till 6 months but we'll just wait for the cues from him.
Cannot believe we're talking about weaning already!!!! Where has the time gone??? Ahhh bring back the newborn days. It really does go too quickly.
freya is 19lb 5oz and is only 16 weeks

Yep EBF, though just this last week I've started working on him taking a bottle (couple ounces of expressed breastmilk per day just to get him used to the bottle method) since I will have to go back to work in August part time and I didn't want to wait tooooo long to introduce the bottle! I love breastfeeding though

Heya everyone :wave: I haven't posted in ages...we moved house and life with 3 is pretty hectic, especially with the two babies being just 12 months apart.
At exactly 4 months Mitch weighed 18lbs 9ozs, is in 9-12 month clothes, still exclusively breastfed, am trying to hold out til 6 months for weaning.

Hey, ladies!
Just checking in - we had our 4 month appt today, and baby's 12 lb 9 oz (10%) and 26" long (86%). Yup. Skinny Minny got skinnier. He still wears 3 month outfits, but we're also using 3-6 month outfits & 6 month PJ's b/c of his length.
As for weaning, we'll wait until he's 6 months unless he gets teeth before then, or if i just think he's ready earlier - pediatrician said we could go earlier if we think he's ready based on the other cues (tongue, interest, grasp, sitting up). we'll just have to see.
hope everyone is doing well! i can't wait for Spring - it will be here soon, and if the Spring weather comes with it, then we'll be taking stroller walks soon - can't wait!

Fides that 4 month picture is right adorable, love the smile and that little hat!
You&me, I can't imagine how busy you must be with three little ones, especially the two littlest. I feel like I'm stretched at times with just the one!

DrGomps - thanks for mentioning how much cereal/milk you use - i was wondering how much to start with. We'll also be starting with rice cereal when we do start weaning.
Going to wait until at least 5 months though. If i think he's ready then we'll try some cereal over easter weekend (so 5 months 1 week). If i still don't feel he's ready then we'll wait until 6 months. Not really in too much of a hurry to wean.
Logan's doing well. He started laughing properly yesterday which was just too cute!
He did an attempted half laugh type thing for a few weeks, but yesterday was the first proper laugh.
He went for 2 weeks without feeding at night, but did stir 3-4 times between 1-6am. This past week he's started waking for a feed again (around 3 or 4am), but despite waking for a feed he's actually sleeping much better (sleeps pretty solidly and only wakes to feed, as opposed to stirring every hour or so after midnight).
He loves sitting up although still needs support as he has no balance. He rolls from tummy to back but i'm 95% sure it's usually by accident as he loses his balance. He tried for a week or two to roll from back to tummy but didn't get it right and hasn't tried again for a couple of days.
All in all we're doing well though. 2 weeks and i'm back at work and logan will be going to daycare.

Ok, who has crib bumpers up??
I'm debating whether I should take it down now that I think she has stopped banging her head into the wall. That was why I put it up. But she does move herself into a corner every time I put her in her crib and tuck the top of her head against the bumper. I crept into her room during her nap (sleeping now) and looked at where her nose is in relation to the bumper and she has her hand against her mouth so I think she's fine. Maybe it will be fine until she is able to sit up. I think that's what the recommendation used to be. So that she can't step on it and try to get out of "jail."
Fides -- Kristin has rolled from tummy to back in her crib 4x now but she only does it when nobody is watching. I'm getting frustrated that I can't catch her. She also refuses to let me catch a smile on camera. I have one picture where she closed both eyes and stuck out her tongue in the time it took to click.

Andrea--Does Josie seem constipated by her cereal? I'm worried about trying cereal after what happened with the carrots. My bbs have adjusted to K sleeping through the night finally. Well, she does eat once before she gets up in the morning for the day but I still am really full when I wake up. At least my bbs aren't what is waking me up anymore.

i havent put bumpers in the crib because of the risk of SIDS but now that she is a little older im considering put them in because she moves a lot at night and i dont want her to hit her head or get stuck in the slats.
i feed madelyn cereal in the morning when she wakes up and a vegetable at night around dinner time. we havent had any issues with constipation as of yet. if your LO is constipated mix a tablespoon of dark Karo syrup in their bottles until they finally poop. we had to do this with madelyn when she was younger and it worked wonders!

I have cot bumpers up. Have had them up since the beginning.
We also have the angel care monitor with breathing pad in that cot so i reckon that will alert us of any breathing issues. So far he's never stuck his nose anywhere near them.
And i don't think they would help him "escape" so to speak as they would jsut collapse under his weight (they're fairly thin).

re the constipation - i think maybe she got so constipated cos she wasn't actually ready for solid food yet. I think if her gut is properly ready then she'll be able to digest the food better and won't have such constipation issues again. I could be wrong though.
