Rotter I was absolutely adamant that I was going to wait until 26 weeks - even had to speak sharply to my mum who kept going on and on about 'You'd like a bit of mashed banana, wouldn't you' to Adam...and then had chat with nursery and decided to see what Adam thought of food. I honestly expected him to pick up the parsnip, put it in his mouth and then drop it/not show much interest. Instead he chewed and ate the whole thing, plus another couple (DP and I were putting them in front of him with a kind of bemused excitement). However, we're going very slowly - only one 'meal' a day so far, and if he doesn't want it, then that's fine. Mostly though he gets upset now if he doesn't have something to chew on while we're having our dinner.
Steaknife I think there is a correlation between ability to ingest and ability to digest. Have definitely noticed Adam's nappies are a lot more solid [TMI emoticon] and I generally can't see undigested chunks in them. Except carrots, for some reason...
Buckets the thing I'm worried about with Giraffe is all the people who would normally have lunch there, but back away hastily decide not to when they walk in and see all the babies!
Is anyone else secretly wishing that another customer on the day has a problem with breastfeeding...although I suspect it would take a very brave person to voice any complaint! [weird militant breastfeeder emoticon].
TS I wonder if higher BMI, or size generally might be linked to larger stomach size - so can fill up more and thus go longer between feeds? Just a thought, and based random musing rather than any medical evidence whatsoever...Or maybe speed of feeding? Adam has always been an extremely leisurely feeder (can still take over an hour), and has always been a good sleeper. Hmmm.
