baked potatoes

Yes, that old standby! Well it was Dh in charge because he came home a little early so I could have some 'me' time and get my hair cut. Luke has his birthday party on Saturday so not only do I want to look nice for that but it means no chance of doing it at the weekend.

So baked tatties it was. We all love them so its not a problem. OK, so sausages aren't the best thing but we have organic ones for Naomi so they are better than some. And she only has one with lots of veg. Still can't get her to consider baked beans. Wonder if its a texture thing, like mince?

I had the bright idea of mashing up some blackberries in her porridge this morning. I bought them as ANOTHER fruit to try and she wasn't that keen, even though they are lovely and sweet. But, as I thought, she ate them mixed in with something else so will try them in yogurt next time. She happily eats Petit Filous but I want, as I did with ds, to move her onto fruit & natural yogurt in the not too distant future as its better for her and more variable.

Little piggy also had 24oz of formula today because Luke didn't want porridge and as I make up her bottles the night before, it was ready made to hand. So she had 6oz on her breakfast and her normal 3x6oz. Despite having a cold that, this evening, made drinking difficult for the first time that I can remember. Hope it doesn't develop into anything worse. Her nose has been running for about 2 weeks(!) but we'd put that down to teething...... watch this space.

I prob read it somewhere but how old is she? Asking becasue i dropped our mid morning bottle yest and felt cruel doing it but he was only drinking 2oz and it seemed a waste, but then he drunk every drip of his further 2 8oz bottles. Just find the bottle thing tough with BLW.

Sorry, not been on for a few days - ds's 4th birthday party! She will be 10 months old tomorrow (Thursday)

I find it hard balancing it all. At the moment she is back to 6oz about 90 mins after breakfast and 8oz at bedtime. And then a full bottle or less in the afternoon depending on how long she naps in the am. If its a long nap and lunch is late I only give her 4oz or so. If its short and lunch is early she has the full 6.
