As I said before - there is nothing like weaning to cause a stir!!!

Glam - I didn't read Aless' post as agressive at all. And how can it be having a go at Kindof when she expressly says she isn't?


And I am not aware of ANYONE on this thread who is strict about waiting until 6 months???? In fact I can only think of 1 or 2 babies who did wait until 6 months.

And my final point - I don't see how birth weight has anything to do with weaning!!! It has been mentioned a few times and every time I think !!!!!!???

That's why we are all different - I did read it aggressively.
Aless also said 'It really annoys me when people with 8 week (or whatever) old babies start getting all keyed up and automatically plan on shoving rice into their kid the second they hit 17 weeks or whatever.'

There's only a few people on here with younger babies.

I would have thought that a larger baby would require more nutrition at an earlier age - after all, E is already on 7ozs bottles and I don't think J was on them until about 16/17 weeks. Massive difference in their birth weights and IIRC EA's Lily is the same.

MFD, we waited till after 6 months to introduce solids, because right around 6 months I had a work trip and didn't want to be faffing about with baby rice in a hotel with no kettle. If she'd seemed like it was very important earlier I'd have given it to her, it wasn't an ideological thing. Oh, and I mentioned weight because I think a normal portion for a 12lb baby is much different from a 9lb baby of the same age, so people can confuse normal portions for hungry babies simply because what's a normal portion for that big baby is not the same as the average portion for an average (smaller) baby IYSWIM.

Also, sliced strawberries marinated in balsamic vinegar and a bit of sugar, served with sliced mint leaves and black pepper, are awesome.

My poor Molly has been an epic crank tonight, finally got her down but she has drained both my boobs down to withered skinbags.

FWIW Aless I didn't think you were talking specifically about KOAG so much as people who start feeding their babies rice at 12 weeks even when all the food is clearly being rejected.

What does IIRC mean?:o

Lily is finishing her 6oz bottles already so i think i need to put her upto 7ozs.
She stares at us when we eat and has a face that says "PURRLEASE CAN I HAVE SOME? PLEEEASE???" :rotfl:

IIRC - If i recall correctly...

What age did you all go to Size 4 nappies?! I seem to remember a few people saying they were using 3's for ages but i've just ordered some 4's.

I think her current 3's fit fine, but i prefer them to be a bit too big i think?? Easier to put on... Not MSE though, you get less!! She's probably knocking on for 16lb by now.

*MOAN*

I did NOT know that if you use a sniping site to win an ebay item you don't get Plus Points :mad::mad: Not happy Even though you have to spend about £100 to get 1p back or something equally stupid. Not the point tho .

Evansangel

Thanks

I have 340 ebay points at the moment

I got most through bonus offers though

Quido declined my cashback OH got his 3 phone through there and they declined it as it wasn't in my name Meanies.

Riiight, im going to do Lilys bottles then bed. Night all

I was strict about it but only with my own babies. Neither were weaned before 6 months as they were satisfied on milk alone and I wanted to leave it as long as possible.

And obviously birth weight was not an issue!! :rotfl:

LOL - it was your 2 I was thinking of when I typed it I also think a couple of the pure BLW babies waited (Fritha springs to mind) but not many others.


Is it true that a heavier baby needs a bigger portion? I don't believe that. Benjamins portion sizes haven't changed since he was about 9 months - I would be bringing his dinner in a truck by the time he was 5 if I kept giving him more and more!!!

I think it makes a difference when they're only eating milk MFD

We are going to disneyland Paris :T:T:T:Tnot that i am excited:p
I have a DS who is at the awkward age 3. Thinks he is too big for his buggy but by 3 pm is flagging for a nap. Did think about hiring when we are there but it is 9E a day and we are there for 5 days so will be 45E=£45 (almost)

Lucky you off to DLP, want to go again but will wait till LO is older. We just one of these for Henry for when he is tired

I'm using jars atm and find Cow & Gate to be tasteless and bland, but Hipp Organic actually tastes like real food. I've only been giving her jars a few nights though so have only tried about 3 flavours lol. Baby rice before that, just to suss it out really and see how she took to spoon feeding.

She is v.good at feeding herself a half rusk lol. I expected there to be a little bit left over that was too small to hold but she managed to eat it all, she 's them.

Been wondering about William but he cant fully sit up on his own yet.. no doubt nursery will let me know soon

Williams 17½lbs at least now and still in size 3's, which reminds me I need to get some this weekend -better update spreadsheet soon.

Ah the joys of the weaning debate again :rotfl::rotfl:
