Evening all I have been reading all day not had time to post though, Bethany slept today a whole hour after her 2pm feed. I have been trying to get into more of a routine with feeds now we have started weaning too, it's a case of trying to fit everything in and around the other two as well. However, she is still awake now double currently rolling about the floor eating a large caterpillar, perfectly happy though.
On this great weaning debate, I think at the end of the day it doesn't matter how you do it BLWing, purees etc they all get there in the end and as long as they aren't living on yoghurts at age 2 and are eating a variety of healthy foods thats all that matters. I have to admit B has been getting mostly purees just now and she is loving them, I am also giving her toast spread with puree, so apple and pear today, thats a good one, get a bit of bread enders work well as they are chunkier, toast it and spread it with puree messy but great fun. We will probably gravitate over to more BLWing in the coming weeks, I don't get this got to be one or the other why can't you combine? B loves chomping on banana I have to hold it in front of her and she moves her head to chomp it with her new teeth very cute.
As for feeding to sleep, like poledra all mine have gone to sleep that way, my first was a brilliant sleeper, second horrendous. I think it must be a lovely way to fall asleep think of it from a babies point of view fall asleep curled up next to Mum, warm boob to suckle on little bit of creamy milk or alone in your own cot, they aren't daft these babies.
People get so het up about MN I remember having a right old rant about my Mum and getting told well at least your isn't dead, mine died when I was 10 that taught me!
