No idea why my quote didnt work !!!
Rosie is 12lb, they are dinky arn't they!oooh had James weighed today and my dinky boy is now 12lb 13oz! x
Go Lefty! Are you very lopsided? Mine have settled now and don't look much bigger full of milk, just a bit firmer and shiner!Oh! And forgot to add that Tobe weighed in at just shy of 16 lbs and measured 23.5 inches in length. This puts him in 75th centile for height, 50th for weight, and still at 90th for head circumference. And that's off one boob! Go Lefty!
BTP, thats so sad. There was a girl on another forum I go on that lost her baby over christmas and they are having collection for her, her LO was born sleeping at 38 weeks. There is no justice in this world. Lovely idea about the star xx Its really hard to know what to say isnt it.
Hope isn't too fussed about food, she takes rusk and porridge but isn't bothered about having it so I am leaving it and just trying every week just to see how we go, while her bottle is enough I am happy to leave it it longer, no point in rushing, some of my friends have weened their babies and it feels like they have forced them, iykwim?? Really sad, its like they want them to grow up too quick!!

Lilbump- I've got my eye on one of those highchairs hope they good
:wave: Hi ladies...I try and read all the pages but never have any time to post it seems...right now I am typing one handed whilst feeding Riley!
On the subject of weaning I am weaning Riley atm and he LOVES food! He was waking up every hour at night for a feed and wouldn't settle. So on the advice of my HV she suggested to wean him (no wheat or protein until 6 months). He still isn't sleeping though-
I do not sterilise his bowls and spoons and he has been absolutely fine I just wash them in hot soapy water. Every morning he has creamy porridge for breakfast and for lunch he has one flavour of fruit or veg that I have made- so far he has had: parsnip, cauliflower, brocoli, banana, sweet potatoe, pear, carrot, pototoe and avocado. The only one he didn't like was carrot!
He eats like a trooper and gets so excited...sometimes I cannot get it in his mouth quick enough!!
He is able to push the food to the back of his mouth so none really comes out which is a sign that he is ready. He is so interested in what we are eating that I thought I would give it a go. It works for us which is the main thing. He still has tons of breastfeeds so I guess he is just a hungry .
On a side note for those of you Bf...has anyone had their period return? I know we shouldn't but we do use it as contraception! Saying that my friend was BF but fell pregnant when her son was 4 months unknowingly..she found out at 21 weeks and is due today...such a short age gap and it should teach me to use condoms!
I can't believe how much Riley is changing now- he is so alert and taking interest in toys, people around him and of course food! They grow up too fast. He loves his playnest and gym which keeps him amused for a while and encorages him to sit up.
I would usually write on ode to DF but as we are not talking I will leave that for another time.
At the moment he now has his hands in his mouth muttering...the muffled effect makes it sound like he is saying 'mama'....well, I can kid myself!
I hope you are all keeping well this morning and I hope I can get on here more often. Sorry about the long post. xx
