    I'm getting tantrums as there are only 2 items of clothing that Katie is happy to wear - she classes them both as her Dorothy dresses, and if I insist on her wearing something else as they dresses need a wash it's the end of the world.

    She had a paddy at lunchtime as she didn't want banana - face down on the settee for 5 minutes she then gets up and eats it.

    I'm definitely convinced she's having the terrible two's late.

  • Evening all. The monster finally sleeps! Stupid teeth/cough/overtiredness combination. I had to sit in with her when she went to sleep too, so I expect we will be back to CC again later in the week when she calms down.

    Now to eat my tea and get myself to bed before she wakes up again I think! I hope everyone else is ok. SS is she poorly, or just "one of those things". Grrr at your DH anyway.

    Thanks for this. I'm not intending starting for sometime yet but just want to get reasearching/preparing.

    MFD - I would love to hear your experiences if you have time, no rush as he's only 3 months old.

    If I need to start early for hunger reasons (he's a big tall boy!) would it be feasible to do baby rice and then move onto BLW or would that just confuse/mess things up?

    Gill - what I did was learn a tiny bit about BLW and a tiny bit about pureeing and then stuff it all and do what the hell I liked and whatever suited Benjamin.

    When you just make it up as you go along then life is easy :D Apparently there are 'rules' about weaning but nobody told Benjamin about them so he won't judge me for it!!

    We still do whatever we fancy - Benjamin can wield a spoon but so can I.

    IMHO you need tons of patience to do full on BLW I am too impatient for that. And I am too lazy to do purees. We just made up our own rules :D

    Katie watches me put them in the washing machine, take them out, hang them up to dry then spends the next couple of hours asking every 5 minutes "dress dry?"

    These aren't even fancy dress dresses, there ones that she would where day to day!

    She seems ok other than the puke, ladybird *shrug* - I think she just ate a bit too much at dinner and then chased it down with a bit much boob. I feel a bit guilty because I knew how much she'd eaten but my boobs were sore so when she popped off and tried to get down I latched her onto the other side to relieve the pressure a bit.

    Anyone watching Sherlock? Quite pleased that a good (old) friend of mine just appeared on it tonight, as Sebastian, the employer banker guy :)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
