ooh Sarah, what made you start weaning ? i only ask out of curiosity x

Try and try again
She basically stopped sleeping properly, about 5/6 weeks ago. Basically she wakes up every 1-2-3 hours whereas before she'd sleep through for 9/10 hours. At first wrote it off to teething/jabs/cold but
she also started wanting an extra feed in the night and was already finishing off 7oz bottles every feed which is the max recommended (as well as needing an additional feed to the recommended) and chatting to all the other mums I know, this is what their babies did which led them to weaning them, and all around the same age too.
And I tried lots of things before jumping to weaning, increasing numbers of feeds during the day to try and encourage her to sleep more, giving her hungry milk, riding it out (like I said it started 5/6 weeks before!)
Lack of sleep at the mo is killing me lol, it's like when she was a newborn! Hoping it'll improve soon though and loving this step in our journey. Potato for lunch today!

*****BIG NEWS****
It's taken me 10 wks to loose my pregnancy weight which was 2st 3.5lb which was 2 wk before i gave birth! I'm soooo flaming chuffed .........feel a bit cheated though........i really think i should have been slimmer of the week as lost 4.5lb last wk and 3.5lb this wk, the lady who got the massive bag of goodies lost 1.5lb last wk and 4lb this wk. Confused, i thought it was total over 2 wk? Asked my C who said she just goes off the computer but said she would check it out. Anywoo i did it and thats the main thing!
There was no sling library today so not able to tell you how it went!

Fern....... A sling library is where u can hire different types of slings for a couple of wks to try them out, think you pay a small deposit and you can buy them if you like them. Not sure if its a national thing or just some random sling crazed group? Lol i've also heard of a toy library which is at my local surestart centre. X

Ive heard of toy libraries not sling though - that's a fab idea!
I did think it could have been a growth spurt, that's why I left it so long. But fair enough Bella gave me 7 hours sleep last night yay!! Feel so much better for it.
She's got pear for lunch today - her first fruit... Wonder if she'll enjoy!

aw bless she looks so gawjus beng so small
Charles starting swiming last week and he also loves watching everyone. He is so chatty now and yesterday at baby group he gsve the biggest giggle in the world, lol. He also started chatting to another baby girl there and touched her arm and she did the same, didn't realise how emotional it is to watch your little baby turn into a sociable creature. He is so interested in everything now and going through a bad batch of teething again, when will this dame teeth come through it is hell for all of us. Thank God for carpol and teething powders!

Aww not looking forward to teething,.really cant bare to see my baby in any kind of pain/ discomfort, im going to be a wreck!!!
Went to a weaning talk yesterday.....eye opener over the sugar etc thats in the packet baby foods and the lack of lumps in some of the foods that should be semi solid ....makes me more determinded to do my own, shouldnt be tok difficult if im organised and baby has same as me. Was told the low salt stock cubes are fine to use or you can buy baby stock cubes
Watching your baby smile is just the best feeling ever x

Dan did the same and swapped fav boob for a bit.....wonder if its something to do with them growing longer therfore position is a bit different so not latching as easy? If your worried get him weighed to check he's putting on weight. Are you expressing ok on this boob? Breastfeeding is so hard but also so rewarding, i love feeding him in public lol.....feel like im showing off x

Hello, this is my first post and I hope I'm doing it right.
I have a nine month old little boy and I'm continuing to bf him.
I re-joined sw 5wks ago as I got into a bit of a slump over christmas and I started to re-gain some of the weight I'd worked hard to loose.
Hopefully I'll be pre-pregnancy weight very soon. Xxx
