    My HV said that you can buy the baby juice, but that it was a bit of a rip off and it has short dates so you might end up throwing it away and like buying baby pasta, your are just paying extra for the "baby" packaging/size. She said there was nothing wrong with giving adult juice (NFC) so might be more cost effective to do as Sami says (but nothing wrong with giving baby juice!). And for pasta, just break up spaghetti.

    But baby pasta is sooooo cute! Look, ickle stars! (plus, I only buy wholewheat pasta that babies can't get)

    DKAM, don't know what to say but didn't want to not say thinking of you! XXX :A

    As an old school mum, shoot me down in flames or whatever, :p Juice is NAS normal if any (none of my kids have ever had fillings) and we try to avoid fruit juice as it's expensive and not the best for teeth according to the dentist. Maddy is a pain with a beaker but she will drink from this...http://www.thatcuteage.com/p444-Doidy-Cup . Food, anything goes as soon as possible. From about 14wks I start and want them on our food asap. Mine eat well, no child is overweight and we have no eczema or allergies. They are happy to try just about anything. Do I admit this to HV, nope!!! :rolleyes: Ben's lactose intolerance is the same as his dads. X
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

  • Sami - love the cake.

    No DOI in this house we're currently watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

    I started letting Katie have taste of things like apples (licking the juice off the surface, suck a grape etc) from about 5 months but nothing proper solid food until she was 25 weeks she was happy on milk up until then.

    I impressed myself I've done my weekly shop for £48! Lunches and dinners.

    I made the twice stuffed roast chicken from Economy Gastronomy and it was very tasty and we have plenty of leftovers for rubber chicken.

    Does anyone know if Wacky Warehouse provide the cake for their birthdays?

  • Hey all,
    I am very new to this site but thought I would c if I can get a bit of advice. My 9 and a half month old boy wants to sleep in our bed EVERY night. I put him in his cot when he falls asleep but he always wakes up at some point and screams the house down till we bring him into our bed, then he falls ryt asleep!!
    hellppp!!!

    Er ... I'm not feeding Andrew any juice (C or NFC, diluted or otherwise ;) ) yet, should I be? And presumably it's better from a sippy-cup of some kind?

    Never had to give Miss A any, and cos she's formula fed now she should be getting some but is totally not interested. Again, calorie content of milk is higher than empty calory - tummy filling juice.

    is this not a good/recommended thing to do??
    i thought i could....

    I gave the boys normal well diluted NAS squash. Amber will get the same. Dunno what 'they' say about it, probably that their intestines will grow legs and run off or something.

    Sami, love the cake! Now fess up, who fell on their !!! to inspire it?

    I've voiced my opinions on 'early' weaning before :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Speaking off, Amber helped herself to my chocolate gateux, she just lunged for it, stuck the hands in then screamed when I tried to clean them. So she got left sucuking her chocolate covered hands and I devoured the remains of my cake, ha!
