A 7th tooth here! A lower b on the right

Yay - go Fergie!!!

Your right as you look at him or his right as he looks at you?

Not that it matters, I just want to know the correct protocol for if we ever get any more teeth.

Just had a search around and found this which indicates she was doing okay yesterday at one month old.


I agree about the names thing being silly but other than that, if they want to have that many children and are doing a decent job then why shouldn't they.

Thanks for looking for that - I was wondering how she was doing.

Agreed on both parts of your last paragraph, the silly names can and should be thoroughly mocked, but so long as they're raising the children well and can afford to raise them then they can have as many as they like.

Thanks for the BLW stuff, although I had to :rotfl:at the gone-wrong bits that she didn't like ... both made by OH I note. That would be completely reversed here, I'm the useless cook and he's in charge of the kitchen. Generally I'm not allowed in the kitchen to make anything more complex than a sandwich or a cup of tea.

Big cheers for new teeth, smiley giggly straw-drinking, crawling, standing, walking, birthday, half-birthday, month-birthday and all the new-milestone babies.

Thanks for everybodies replies, it's not like she hasn't played sports out in the rain before. You might remember the cross country where they were caked in it. But they didn't have to sit in class for the rest of the day and I got some trainers from a friends and trashed them after so it was fine. What I didn't get was that Thursday is PE, but the school hires the village hall for the day so why are they going to the village field in this weather whan all the local teams have cancelled practice as the field is currently a bog (on a flood plain). And if she trashes these trainers, £30, what does she use for the athlectics tournament they have entered her into next week. I've text a few friends so gonna try get her some football boots for tomorrow. Flippen school, they can be a pain sometimes, couple of days warning is always better.

That's really cool Krystal, clever little girl. X

Sorry, I know nothing about BLW and we're going down the puree route just now, but that strikes me as an awful lot of weeks of food not actually going in, down & out? Almost as if food is a plaything for the first six weeks? (no offence, just don't get it!)

That is the whole point!

For the first 6 months (so until a year old) food is just for taste and experiement. It doesn't matter if they eat very little, they get most of thier nutrition from breastmilk. My aim is to get no more than 25% of calories from solids at 12 months old.

Babies who start solids early, and babies who eat a lot of solids tend to wean earlier. I want LO to be breastfed till at least 2, so I'm weaning in a way to best preserve the breastfeeding relationship.

As long as baby is getting lots of milk feeds it really doesn't matter about them getting any solids until they are quite old I can'r remember if it is 9 months or a year...both ring a bell.


Edit - just to clarify from Feelys post, BLW is just as compatible for FF babies as it is for BF babies.

Its 9 months cos of the iron stores thing I think, so by 9 months they need to be able to eat enough to have enough iron in their diet.

Ah, that's probably why I'm not understanding then - I don't remember (in any of the BLW stuff I've read) somebody actually saying "For the first few months, they'll only play with the food, chances of eating it are slim". I had the impression that weaning was actually happening! (Again, no offence meant.)
