He also could've gotten into a pattern of waking in the night maybe? Jett woke last night around 4am, so that was a bonus 3 hours later than what he has been doing. Fingers crossed he'll stretch it out till 6am tomorrow morning.]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2007 22:34:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13197&PID=267997&title=eek-i-think-its-almost-time#267997 <![CDATA[Eek!

Tom still seems really hungry too! Today I fed him at 7am, 8am and then 1/3 can of watties pear at 9am!! So much for one or two teaspoons. He would cry if we were too slow getting it to him

It hasnt helped his sleeping though so maybe he is having YET ANOTHER growth spurt. ]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2007 22:28:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13197&PID=267984&title=eek-i-think-its-almost-time#267984 <![CDATA[Eek!

Yeah I think I'll up the amount I give to him tomorrow. I obviously give him both sides of b/milk before offering the solids & an hour later when he's due for a sleep he'll still want a FULL feed from one side.

And funny how you describe Bella's first solid poo!. It will be nicer to have a thicker poo, rather than the runny ones that go EVERYWHERE! ]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2007 22:17:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13197&PID=267971&title=eek-i-think-its-almost-time#267971 <![CDATA[Eek!

Hey Italiah, Bella was exactly the same...she went from 1 teaspoon once a day for about 3 days then I upped the amount she was having for that one meal and then after a week she was STILL hungry so I started on 2 meals a day and she's still on 2 meals a day but has about 4 ice-cubes for lunch and 5 for dinner. She loves her solids especially her fruit and veges, she didn't like the baby rice so I don't even bother (I mean I tried it and thought it was disgusting ) And she started just before she was 4 months. It would have been nice to hold off but she was so ready. But yeah, the poos are the only draw back . I think the hard poos kicked in about 3-4 days after the solids, Nikki (and it was like a long sausage hehe!!) ]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2007 21:48:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13197&PID=267931&title=eek-i-think-its-almost-time#267931 <![CDATA[Eek!

Yeah my sister (who looks into everything - food & medicine - before giving it to her child), said their stomachs can't digest the rice at that age. So yeah, am going on her advice with that. I used to use the rice to thicken the pureed pears/apples but will do that after 6 months.

But boy, I think giving him solids has made him even more hungry! He still wants to feed afterwards. I thought it would make him hold out longer. Might not be giving him enough solids?]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2007 20:18:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13197&PID=267857&title=eek-i-think-its-almost-time#267857 <![CDATA[Eek!

Italiah, why are you going to hold off on rice etc till 6 months? Is it due to the lack of an enzyme for digestion? I read that babies cant digest starches until they have all their teeth and wonder how many people actually follow that theory.]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2007 18:31:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13197&PID=267835&title=eek-i-think-its-almost-time#267835 <![CDATA[Eek!

Yeah I would never have given him solids if I didn't think he needed it. I wish he could hold off for another month or so, but I sort of knew he'd be like my older 2 & need it at 4 mths.

So I gave Jett some solids about an hour ago. He even got excited just seeing me walk to him with the spoon & cup in my hand, as if he knew what was coming! He happily opened his mouth for the spoon (anything & everything he can get his hands on goes in the mouth anyway so I knew getting him to open his mouth for the spoon wouldn't be a problem). He really screwed his face up with the first taste, but otherwise really seemed to enjoy it! YAY!

Dh ran to get the camera as soon as I told him it was his first taste of solids, so here's a few pic's of the milestone!



Love the look on this one


Hmm, wonder if my bib is ediable?

I think a lot of babies start waking again at about 4mths so hopefully it will settle down soon. Not sure what causes it but it often does settle down without the need for solids. :)

I started Ella on baby rice and then after a couple of days gave her some kumera, which she loved. I introduced fruit to her a couple of weeks after she had started solids.

Yay that's great Nikki! I was about to do the same thing tonight, as Jett would cry after I took the boob out of his mouth. He never does that. But I wondered also if he wanted it just to comfort him as I think he was overtired. Also it was almost his bedtime so I didn't want to give him solids now, just incase he reacted to any of it.

I know, it comes around so quickly! It's all been a bit of blur. I would love it if he could wait till 5/6 mths, but I have hungry babies that grow fast, so can't hold out that long.

I think Jett needs to start solids. He was sleeping through the night, but recently he's waking almost every night to be fed. Sometimes as early as around 1am. Not liking that at all.

Also tends to want to be fed more regularly during the day. He'll be 17 weeks on Friday - 4 mths. The other 2 started solids around this time too as where doing the same thing. I thought I'd wait for hungry signs like the other 2 showed, & I think he's definitely showing them.

I don't mind that he needs to be on solids, it just means more work for me, but if it means he'll sleep through the night again, I'll be more than happy! ]]> Wed, 26 Dec 2007 12:16:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13197&PID=267021&title=eek-i-think-its-almost-time#267021
