I HATE WEANING, - there I said it!
I get so stressed about the whole thing.
I wish we could go back to just milk (Even though i stressed about that 2 because she wasn't a big drinker either!)
she's a tiny girl (bobs above and below the 2nd centile) and i cannot get it into my head that because she's tiny she won't eat as much as bigger babies. but i get so stressed about it.
I reckon if she didn't have to eat she wouldn't!
i also can't get it into my head that its ok for her to drop her milk as she's eating solids but i don't think she's eating enough. they say 20oz right? but even when she was on purely milk she only had 25oz so there's no way she'd take 20 plus solids. although she does manage 180z most days.
she sleeps through the night so if she really wasn't getting enough she'd wake right?
also - i 'forget' she needs to eat now (bad mum alert!) like today, i was out for lunch but it wasn't her 'due time' by the time it was i was on teh move and she was sleeping, so she didn't have lunch. why didn't i just give her it earlier?
i feel like such a failure (i am a born worrier and this was to be semi expected!)
i feel so elated when she eats, but then the next meal she won't and i get so down again.
also, i seem to always run out of ideas. i have all the books, but its like im scared to make her things incase she won't eat it.
omg, what a rant - i'm sorry guys!
ps - something tells me i can't give her citrus fruits is this right or did i make that up?
