Well I'm finally getting off my backside and posting instead of just being a lurker...all you girls have been such a HUGE morale support for me through the last eight months (without knowing it of course :) ) and I had to post back.....
There was someone having poo problems, well baby having poo problems that is. I've found Ella's prune and raisin brekkie a knockout solution. Also musk melon with slightly steamed blueberry works fabulously.
Regarding the discussion on calcium, have any of you heard of finger millet? It's like a magic grain in terms of its calcium and iron content. 100g of milk has 120mg of calcium while finger millet for every 100g has 344mg of calcium. Discovered it when ds' milk intake dropped to 8-10 ounces. (I really felt for one of the posters who had said if anyone can get her babe to drink some more milk they can jolly well come and give it!) Anyway, as recommended to me, you can get this grain typically at Asian stores which sell it in powder form (called ragi). It's made with milk like cereal.
And finally, while I am online, huge thanks sche and fuzzzy.....sche for the cheese omlette idea. Breakfast was a nightmare the last week since he learnt how to blow the cereal out of his mouth on my hair, clothes, floor, door etc etc etc....omlette is being lapped up!! Fuzzzy for so many things.....girl, you are a wonder mom!! hope you go on to have many many more babies....wish I could have had you as a nanny!.....picked up so many ideas from you in terms of routine, play, food....long list......
