omg! just been to see hv and she says dd is hungry...............solids here we come. i feel so sad. she has been waking loads lately and not done a 7 hour stretch for a while. grumpy in day, wanting to feed lots but ends up just fussing and crying more than usual. lots of dirty nappies (dont know how this is related). spose it was obvious really, but i was in denial. she is only 17 weeks. i dont class her as 4 months until 28 sept. but hv did at 16 wks, so i spose i can start! well, not got much choice really, dd is ravenous. aparently. been and bought some baby rice and tommee tippee bowls and spoons. scary. will start her at lunchtime with just a spoonful of rice. but want to try it today, so when she wakes i think i will. just to see the reaction on her little face, bless. have a hunch it won't be easy.
please someone tell me i'm ok to wean!! i feel that 6month guilt thing. she is 15lb 6oz. and has put on 10oz in the last week on just my milk alone, which gave me the impression that she was doing fine. but she was feeding much more often, admitedly. and a horror at night.
