The official cerazette missing period support thread!! *NAME CHANGE*

[annanouska]

Betty-so far he has eaten everything!! I have a collection of Ellas Kitchen and am still working through them all but he seems to love strawberry and apple. Today he will be trying his first home made meal of carrots, swede and baby milk! I just blended it down into a smooth puree.

He hates baby rice and porridge but Hipp Organic do a banana and peach cereal which he likes-it looks like porridge!

How do you progress from tasters? I have been making sure he keeps his milk up as heard they shouldnt drop milk until 6 months? He is enjoying food but so far I just offer once a day then give him his milk as usual? Im pretty sure i am meant to do something different but no idea what. Going to take him TUesday for a 5 month weigh in xxx

 

[annanouska]

girls.....it was a disaster! I have him my home made puree and he didnt like it at all! I then offered him Hipp Cauliflower, carrot and pea and he hated that more!!!

I really want him to like home made things and I got worried over Ellas after somebody on the weaning but said event heir svoury ones are too sweet (no sugar just mixed with fruit sometimes too) so I tried the new Hipp one to try and make sure he doesnt just like sweet and it ended up everywhere! he absolutely hated it not sure what to do now?

Anna dont worry there will be plenty more stuff he may not like. Cauliflower is a very strong taste so may have been that. Reason they dont recommend dropping any milk is coz they recommend to not wean till 6months. Sounds like the one meal a day is fine for now. The hipp cereal was enjoyed by mine too They reackon too that a baby would need to try a taste at least 10-15 times before you couod be sure that they dont like it? You sound like you are doing a great job, dont question yourself
Ollie is currently throwing his cheese sandwiches onto the floor

Anna they go through phases of not wanting things allister is terrible at the moment just loves cheese and if all else fails I give him something cheesy. It all goes well for a good few mouthfuls then he just won't eat anymore! Nightmare!
But other than that he is fine he keeps standing on his own now - so cute!
Thanks for congrats about house, we are just getting quotes for heating, rewire etc and just hoping people's schedules aren't too full as it slows everything down!

Amelia would love to hear your story glad u r well.

To everyone else I'm on my phone and can't remember everything!

Been 4 weeks since miscarriage and still waiting for AF!!!! Annoying

 

[betty14]

Aw Anna don't worry I'm sure he will come to like them, Daisy is the other way she devours my purees but not so keen in box cereals! Her most fab so far is pear

Like the others said don't worry too much they go through phases, my niece will only eat cold food, always has and on her terms lol! She is going through a phase of barely eating anything!

As for the next steps I think you can be baby led still, I am still just giving Daisy purée before her first feed am she is being a funny one at the mo not really having her milk properly she is teething so think that's playing a major role

Hay, hope the house comes together quickly! How exciting!!

Sara how frustrating hopefully it won't be long away!

Hi all hope your well. I keep meaning to post but on my phone its a pain and i mess it up.
We are all good, cant believe esmae is nearly 7months. some days i wish I could look back on the first few weeks again as it seems so far back. Im now combi feeding as I was happy to get to 6 months and plus I try to have busy days so its sometimes hard to express out and about. She probably has about 2 out of 5 feeds bm.
I wont lie but I will be glad to be back at work. I need routine and adult company. Caleb is still going through a tantrum stage and its so hard at times. I keep wondering where I went wrong and how I can help but it seems no matter what I do he likes to play up. He is going through a " i want stage " and its horrible. I am secretly hoping when we finally get a answer about his ears it will help things. I do think it affects him. We are due a hearing test but haven't heard anything yet so I'm ringing tomorrow as we need to get it sorted. I just keep being pushed backwards and forward between children's centre and drs but he has had fluid since august now and surely its not fair on him. Im going to explain it is affecting him now .xx sorry for the moan x

 

[betty14]

Aww pink well done for getting to nearly 7 mths youve done really well!!

As for Calebs ears it def could be contributing... My nephew has had 2 sets of grommets for glue ear, the specialist told my sis that when they have the fluid and their hearing isn't 100% they lip read which wears them out so their behaviour declines, once my nephew had the second set and his hearing improved so did his behaviour!

[pink23]

I've just been to the gem centre where they do hearing test and we are booked in for 4th jan so just got to wait now but really want something done now .
Just been to his nativity and he was Joseph ��he didn't do much but it was cute , I can't believe he is 3 xx

 

[annanouska]

Saw the nativity pic-very cute

I keep trying Marcus on different things but we are still on the...if it has fruit it is good if there is no fruit i dont like it phase! He is teething too so is going through so horrible days. it is the bottom two middle and they are so hard and feel like they are just there but been like that for a couple of weeks. He is on Ashton and Parsons (seriously got too much) and calpol and teething rings etc.

Having a horrid time atm-what with him acting up and then all the appliances have broken! We have had to get a new washer and cooker. The cooker wouldnt sit right due to the gas pipe for hob so capped that and now ordered a new induction hob (came today loving that appliances online!) but microwave has stopped going around too!!!!!!!!

I dont feel at all Christmassy-I am soooo excited normally but this year I really am not in the mood

 

[betty14]

Pink glad you have an appointment fingers crossed they will sort him out quickly

Saw the pic he looked so cute!

Anna it says in the AK book that some babies prefer sweet veggies to start because their milk is sweet... So maybe try mixing a little apple with carrot or sweet potato he might prefer that?

Having said that I really wouldn't worry too much, my niece absolutely hates vegetables if any kind but will devour any fruit you put in front of her! Stick at it and keep trying the veg here and there I'm sure he will in time

Sorry to hear about all the appliances going wrong our washing machine went wron a few weeks ago its rubbish!!!

[AmeliaLily]

I got a new ticker! I'll really try to do my story this evening when Joel is asleep!

 

[Samie18]

Hi girls hope everyone is good.

Glad you have an appointment pink.

Give your body time to heal Sara.

Beth don't stress things will happen eventually. Sophia always ate everything but her faves were the boots organic jars.

We went for the 1yr jabs today. I agonised so much about the mmr because if anything ever did happen I'd be devastated and never forgive myself specially when mumps measles and rubella aren't life threatening if she did get it. But she had it anyway coz Chris wouldn't let me not let her have it =o (
She hardly cried got a choc and got over it. Got everything crossed she'll be ok

 

[PinkyEyes]

Hi girls! I've been really busy trying to get things set up for when I go on maternity leave. Haven't had a chance to read the posts since my last visit, so I'll now find out what you've all been up to!
