What time in the evening is everyone feeding their babies solids?

FoD DS has dinner between 5.30 and 6.30 (although after 6 is too late for him really) when the big dcs eat. Then bath if mucky and feed to sleep between 7 and 7.30.

Ds has breakfast between 7 and 8, lunch between 11 and 12 and dinner between 4 and 5. This all depends on naps and other feeds

IsThat hope he recovers ok and sil/family are well supported. It's a long old road coming back from this kind of shit, dp is way ahead of most, so don't forget them if she appears to be coping onthe surface. My life would be a lot lot easier if someone would take a bit of the burden occasionally or even just acknowledge I'm having it tough. The Stroke Association have been very supportive of dp :)

With us at 6-6:30, FoD :)

He gets ever so fussy if i sit him down to eat alone - eats really well around a table with others but struggles if it's just him being fed

Oh I just realised you said in the evening

DS is always down by seven at the latest, usually ten to and I want to make sure he has room for milk. I would just do what works for both of you. DS has started to really demand solids, by half an hour after his morning feed he is moaning for his breakfast!

Amazing mr pidj. Puts me to shame, although I did manage a 30 min power walk round the park today while DH had dd1&2 at swimming. Shows how terribly unfit I've become though.
T has t (did ya see what I did there?!) about 5.30 - tonight she had a cube of chicken casserole with baby rice and bm, then some mashed banana then a boob feed! Just doing bedtime feed.
ispy that so unds sensible.
isthat fx for bil

Blocked duct and a milk blister, what more could a girl ask for?

pidj it's hard as he's DHs half brother and lives in Wales. I've never met his wife but I know they were going through fertility treatment so I dread to think how she's feeling right now.

Oh IsThat I missed that, hope your bil makes a speedy recovery and they get all the support they need

spotty you are a lucky girl! Hats off to you for keep

Oops! Keeping going. Hope baby spotty appreciates what a lovely mummy he has.

One cube of casserole? My little greedy guts eats 4 cubes of fruit for pudding that's on top of a meal

He had a slice of beef, 1/4 a carrot, 1/2 small sweet and regular potato and a mushroom blitzed by the hand blender for lunch today. He'll happily eat a pouch of main plus a pot of pudding if out.

Very Hungry CaterPidjlar!

What quantities are normal at 7 months?

She's only been weaning for 2 weeks and its a weaning pot rather than an ice cube, beefed up to nice gentle taste/texture with rice and bm. It's quite a bit in the bowl. No idea how it would compare to volume if a pouch.

I caved and put on the cot bumpers on - she woke up with her arm stuck through the bars and does so pretty much every night. Once I've rescued her she settles with a quick pat. Fx the bumpers help.

First wake up so I'm going with the patting to sleep. Seems to be working....

No sleep here yet

45 minutes sleep.

Argh she will not settle

She's been fed and cuddled and patted. I know she wants more boob to sleep but I really don't want to when we were doing so well. Crying it is then.

Ah that seems to have done the trick!

hales what's going on? Has she just been awake all night?

She's still protesting a bit (have been in and patted a few times)...seems to have gone quiet...

Oh no hales and WL

Ds's just woken again but I think I've got him back to sleep.... Maybe not....he probably is hungry now I will feed him!

Hmm he's now up for the day
