Lovely pics of your angels they are simply gorgeous...

Zelf we sitting with same problem Izelle is a fussy eater and hardly eats anything, so now I give her what she wants to eat and sometimes she refuses that aswell, she loves the hipp organic range but only certain 1's, her new thing is just wanting milk in her cup

Juandre congrats on the pregnancy...

Amanda belated happy birthday to Vica...

AFU: we doing ok, Iz almost walking just needs to boost her confidence abit, she stands on her own for ages, its so cute how she balances herself...she still hates her walking ring so now we have put it away...went for 9 month injection she's 71cm's and 8.5kgs, didn't give any problems with fever etc and for a change mommy didn't cry...

For christmas we got her a shell with balls she loves climbing over things and playing with balls, still on the look out for something else, she already has a doll teddy thing she sleeps with

Oooohhh Miss Kay! I forgot its all the babies' first Christmas! If Vica wasn't such a time traveller it would've been her first one too! But it is her second xmas, but first one at home - yay!

Can you believe it, she's 1 year and 1 month and 10 days old but she hasn't been at home for a year even! 8 January she'll be home one year. Whoo-hoo.

Have a blessed festive season everyone.

Morning Ladies;

Zelf sometimes Nathi goes on a hunger strike and I just think its growing up and I agree with your Pead re:breast milk. the nurse was wrong to even mention you get her off the breast.Nathi eats twice a day and only soft porriage. I wanted to try him pap but he totally refused, i think i delayed introducing such food to him.

2 weeks we were hospitalized with food poisoning so don't want him eating our food cause no one knows how we got it.bluckily only my helper and I ate from the pot.

I love the pics beautiful babies

Zelf- Keira hasalso been giving me a hard time about eating but then she hasnt been well, had Croup and then a bad chest infection. I bought some of those woolies puree meals- the fresh ones and she loves them. I'd prefer her to eat my food but their meals are healthy (chicken and broccoli,lamb and veggies, chicken and veggies etc) so I am now giving her what she likes. She went off cereal for about 3 months, but in the last week has started eating it again. I'm also worried about her carb in take as she is very active. Iwill take her for her 9month inject and check up in 2 weeks time so we will see then.

The MS is really bad with this pregancy but hanging in there. I have my first scan on wed.

Lovely pics ladies.
Keepwell

Beautiful girls Carlene! Is Emma going to a new school next year? Last we spoke (a long time ago!!!) you said you are thinking about Doxa? I hope Mia is okay- Millay had kroep last week- luckily I had Adrenaline at home, and it wasn't neccessary for antibiotics.

I am a little bit worried about Millay- she does not eat!!!! At first I was not worried at all- because I know they go through stages of eating everything and then nothing. But this has been going on for a while now. When I took her for 9 months injections, the sister told me she is not picking up enough weight, I must load her with carbs, and we will weigh in a months time. Since then she basically stopped eating. She eat her porridge in the morning, and she will snack during the day, but no food at lunch or dinner - maximum 5 spoons of food. When I was at the clinic last week, she only picked up 30grams for the whole month - only weighing 8.15kg now.So, the sister told me I should substitute her evening milk(which is breastmilk) with Formule - which immediately made me so mad!! So I told her no, I do not think the milk is the problem, I really want to breastfeed till she is a year. She was not very happy with me, but said okay maybe she has iron defficiency, I must give her Zinplex and iron to boost her appetite.
When I was at the paed with her, I discussed this with her - and she was so supportive! Told me firstly that Millay definately doesn't look food deprived, so that is a good sign. Her lenght and head grew perfect, so she gets enough callories, it's just her weight. She also she will never tell a mom to change from breast to formule at this stage, most likely the baby will just loose more weight, because they will drink less. She agreed with the Zinplex and iron for a month. So now I will wait and see.
She loves to eat with us - but she only sucks on the food, so I do not know how much she gets in - and obviously not enough otherwise she would be picking up weight. And the stuff she likes is Broccoli, beetroot, beans etc - that wont make her fat. I also don't believe in force feed a child to eat.
Any tips from anyone??
