Starting back tomorrow too, not looking forward to it either!
Hollie put something in her mouth and was choking earlier so its been a fun day, some lovely meal ideas, just be careful with grapes as they can be choking hazard and welcome nemesis
Hope Hollie is ok now though? (oh and thanks

Good evening all
Hope everyone is well and all the little ones are thriving..
Charlies meals today have been :-
CHarlie hasn't had any baby jars/packets as Im at home all day but I will use fish in butter sauces and some frozen mashed veggie etc.....
The 1st thing I gave him was roasted butternut squash -I think its a great one as it is sooooooooo smooth and its great for adding stronger flavours like spinach etc if you babies aren't keen.
Off the top of my head Charlie has (the red ones being faves):-
.
Can I just give a word of warning about "windy foods" - I know there are obvious ones like beans etc - but watch out for liver, cauli and swede -both can be quite "gusty" and may cause tummy ache... I know because they affect me and Charlie -thing is we love em though ..so I always give him a drop of gripe water after and that seems to help..
on the topic of gagging/choking -I must admit the first time Charlie Gagged I had to make myself not panic..but talked to him calmly and low and behold he coughed it up and now he is a dab hand and coughing up anything that he has too... not that I don't silently panic sometimes...
Hope we all get a good nights sleep......

He has his mummies appetite and is a right oinky pantsThanks hun, Hollie was fine afterwards had to give her a couple back slaps and it came up, its just scary at the time, good luck with starting ww's

...When I first started weaning him and I offered him a couple of tea spoons he had a melt down until I went for more
.... he went straight to eating 3 little meals a day.... I was worried to start with as he could eat quite a lot for a little fella but the as he sealed his lips when he had eaten what he wanted I figured he knew his own appetite.
this is one of the pics of one of his first meal -I think that one is stewed pear ...I don't worry about his eating now as he is a solid muscular little thing and he eats a good balance

I'm dreading when teething begins! Sadly i have to go back to work at the end of Jan and i do shift work and i already know that Sebastian is going to start teething when i'm on my week of earlies! I have always thought that weaning and teething are a sign that my baby is no longer a baby They grow so fast!
They grow so fast!Good evening all

Evening all
Teddy is a cutie pie -can I ask is he actually named teddy ? or is it Edward and you nickname him? its such a sweet name.
Well as I thought Charlie DID help me with my fruit last night and ate half a pear peeled and cut up into chunks.... and he had some apple/pear juice AND then he had his cheesy mash for supper
. He is still out of sorts so had 3 badooby feeds in the night... it has to be his toothypegs as he has slept through the night since he was a few months old....so hopefully it will pass :cross:
Anyway -todays food so far has been
he is now napping -since about 4:30pm -so no doubt he will be "starvin marvin" when he wakes up..... it may well be mash n cheese or muller rice with raspberry tonight (or both if he decides lol)and no doubt more fruit.... he has gone crazy on pears..
I have picked him up some little drop scones to try as an occasional treat -golden syrup ones and sultana and lemon ones - I figure they are quite easy for him to pick up and post in himself.... if he likes them of course!!!
ooooh and over the last couple of days he keeps threatening to walk properly -he keeps letting go of the furniture and looking at us as if to say "shall I?" -or it could be "do you realise what trouble you are in when I do this?"
right off for 10 mins before he wakes up... have a good evening all

Capricorn are you back doing sw, how you finding it?
Can't believe how well Charlie is doing at the same time I'm thankful that Hollie's only at the crawling stage as I be running around after 2! hopefully by the time she is walking Maisie would of calmed down a lot.
Becki, hope Teddy enjoyed himself with Nanny/grandma and you had a nice break Nemesis hope the rest of your maternity leave doesn't go too quick.
Today Hollie's had:
6oz of formula
5oz of formula - cracker, banana half mini potato waffle.
Chicken, carrots, parsnips peas, lil baby gravey ( some mashed up and a few chunks on her tray) and a muller star yogurt.
