    Was just thinking of different fruits to try Rhys on and we appear to have a random tin in the cupboard.. :)

    Any more ideas for puddings, anyone? :cool: Rhys usually just has fruit puree (well, lumpy mush!) or yoghurt.

    Now we've managed a whole week of breakfast, afternoon snack and tea plus extra milk and he's quite happy in his highchair, going to try him on lunch too. Never know, I might actually remember to eat too! :o There's such a difference in him this week - like he's suddenly realised food is quite nice and he wants it now. 26wks corrected tomorrow, that's possibly it ;)

    Welcome JHA and Orit-Rhian :D

    Glad all turned out well in the end.. the bad bits soon become a distant memory (and feel like they happened to someone else!) in my experience :)

    How is it going being home? Usual questions.. feeding/sleeping/nappies yadda yadda ;) Are you getting good support from everyone around you? If you're not, feel free to rant away! :D

    Can I just ask a quick question re: formula?

    I'm starting to introduce 1 FF a day as that's what Caitlyn will be having when she goes to the CM in April (maybe 2 sometimes). Which do I get? She is 6 months and I'm using Aptimil. Do I get the first one or the follow-on one? We have started BLW but still BFing.

    Thankyou :)

    Hiya:)

    Sorry to hear your problems jha, glad baby is here safe now though.

    Beenie - If you ever find out about healthy start vouchers and Tesco online could you please let me know! I am apparantly entitled to these but don't bother claiming them because I do all my shopping online and really cannot be bothered to make a special trip out just for baby milk!!!

    Great news everyone, my carpet is down and I am well pleased. It looks fantastic, only problem is the rest of downstairs looks really naff and dirrty/old fashioned now;)

    Hope everyone is well xx
