MSE Parents Club Part 9

Have you signed up to all the baby food makers "clubs"? I think it was HiPP that sent me a good guide for how much and when to step it up a bit. Might be handy to have something you can show DH, iyswim

Maybe you could list some of the typical meals you have and those that have done BLW can tell you how you can adapt / incorporate them into Kian's weaning

Best bit is when they get to six months and can have (almost) anything.. as long as you have a wipeable mat covering your carpet!

Rhys is a funny one with weaning - mega high fat, must spoonfeed him to get food definitely into him (not BLW), seems like as few vitamins and minerals as possible (:rolleyes:), boiled not steamed.. Don't use us as a good example for a normal baby!

Hello, my little man is poorly and now my lovely neighbour comes back and rips the wreath off our door (i know forgot to take it down) and chucks it in bits across the hallway when asked why she did it, she said we've reported her to the social about her kids, and that she'll come after me if they are taken off her I haven't once said anything about her kids to anyone, so this has nothing to do with me.

So sick/poopy baby and her=one unhappy keely.

see, i'm probably making more of an issue than it actually is.

we eat a lot of chicken dishes. mainly chicken in sauce (jars, not homemade) with pasta or rice. spag bol, stirfries etc. we like chilli and we do eat pork (chops not a joint). i'll eat any veg DH will have some but wont eat a normal roast dinner. he wont eat things like a stew or caserole. things that i could make for the 3 of us...iykwim

have read a bit on the annabel k website. will sign up fo the hipp one though, did get some stuff from cng the other week too.

i like the sound of BLW but as DH wont eat mash or any veg may not be practical as it would mean always cooking 2 meals.

Do you have one of these too? Marley will only eat potatoes without peel; mashed carrots; processed peas; finely chopped onion and mushroom. No other vegetables. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'm not doing BLW as Andrew's not ready for grasping stuff and putting it into his own mouth, so I'm going down the puree route. He just had a teaspoon of baby rice (mixed with EBM) mixed with a large teaspoon of apple puree, and he loved it. I cooked up two apples earlier and I've frozen the rest as cubes. He'll be on apple for another two days, then I'll do him some carrot puree for a change.

I'm kinda using the NCT book on weaning as a rough guide (got it from the library), but I have to remember to down-scale the portions as Andrew is still only half the size of the average weanable baby!

He's still taking all his current amount of EBM (6x100ml) and we've decided to wean instead of trying to get him to increase his milk intake. It'll be interesting to see what weight he's gained at his next weigh-in on Friday.

Keely, she sounds awful. Even if it was you who reported her, criminal damage isn't the way to get her point across. Poor you, hope you and Elliot both feel better soon.

Sympathy for me too please. I've broken a tooth:mad:. Why do these things always happen when I can't get to some help. Its a Saturday, I'm snowed in and the car is still at the garage waiting for snow to melt so I can go and get it.

It probably happened to teach me not to be such a pig, I was making quite a meal out of a big tin of Heroes but now the sharp bit is rubbing my tongue and it hurts

awww keely thats not right .. but im guessing shes not willing to listen some people are just not right in the head ((hugs)) to you and ((gentle hugs)) to poorly munchkin xx

LOL, Rhys smells like Opal Fruits! He's just woken up.. he nodded off on OH after eating strawberry yoghurt and it's all over his top (what you get for leaving Daddy in charge! ).

Jillie, there's Heinz too - good for vouchers for biscotti As for the chicken, i'm guessing it's kind of stirfried before you add the sauce? You can take some out of the pan for Kian once it's done and before you add the sauce

*hugs* Keely

ETA: *hugs* for harley too

Ouch Harley - hope you can get to a dentist soon. I hate that, because you can't stop poking it with your tongue and then your tongue hurts too and.... urgh. Feel better.

What a crazy lady keely. Did you tell her it wasn't you? Hope LO gets better soon.
