Jan & Feb 2010 Mommies

We're back from the funeral... I don't feel like chatting much - I think I will take a time out for the rest of the day...

Morning Ladies,

How is everyone?

I started Muneeb on lunch from Saturday. He ate Cerelac Gold (apple and cranberry flavour) and OMW he loved it. He opened his mouth for every spoon and finished 2 teaspoons. Yesterday I inroduced Butternut for lunch and wow, he loved that too. Also opened his mouth for every spoon and ate 1 and a half teaspoons. I actually think that he was getting quite hungry. So now he eats porridge for breakfast and veggies for lunch.

I must say he doesn't really sit for a long period and when he's on his tummy only lifts sretches his arms straight. Will definately try those excercises thatnks Bluebird.

Hope everyone is well today.

Hi guys.

Thanks lientjie for the reply and the websites. will check them out. always though you must start with cereal. im just worried about the ezcema, going to be super caution! I think will also stick with puree for the beginning stages. Toooo damn panicky, just now he choke!

Nixie how old is your lb now. Jordan sits on his own for about 2minutes, then topple over. I bought a tube(binneband) from a lady and every since then, I think his sitting is getting better. But keep on doing exercises like pull ups, let him sit between pillows, with a few toys infront of him. and put his hands between his legs, let him balance on it. Also another one is,, let him lie on his back and pull him up by the one arm into a sitting position, that will teach him to press on the other arm, makes the muscles stronger.

hi there zodwa i am also truly sorry if i also caused any pain that was unnessasary and bithy.


Please do not stop feeding your baby BLW i will also give support were i can!!!

You are a super mom and Your baby is really ahead... mine is to lazy to sit by himself..... so any ideas??

Lientjie thanxfor the links will definately check them out

OMW typo's sorry. I am beyond tired and feeling down

Time for bed!

Lientjie, well I loebv breastfeeding and seeing that we won't have any more babies, I of course want to do it as long as I can. I bare fed Micayla... felt terrible guilt over it. Then I fed Connor and Reuben for 6 months, Danette for 10 months, Xadriaan for 8 months... I will follow Jaqi's lead. If she looses interest, I will stop, if not, I will slowly start weaning her from about 10 months. i don't want to breastfeed longer than 1 year.

EP I read & re-read everything that u said yest. I tend to overreact to things at times. I read what u posted again today & it wasnt mean spirited. Yest when I read it sounded like Im being attacked, then I woke up this morn to more attacking & didnt really have time to reasses where everything went wrong.
On any normal day I look at things quiet objectively & am sorry that a lot of ppl got involved in the end. I didnt go to BLW thread with those intentions or to gossip.
Its just that one day u praising how well Im doing & that Im "supermom", then next thing I know u completely slating it & I never knew u felt so strongly bout it. It came as a shock to me.
Since my reaction has hurt u/caused u to have am bad day am deeply sorry for that. It was not my intention, u trully didnt need all that nonsense what whith ur family grieving and all.
Am not against any method u use to feed ur baby & I really hate that the whole thing turned ugly, again, for that Im sorry

Wow you know what - I really admire you THANK you for this... It really touched me. I am also so trully sorry if I came accross as mean. I never meant to get mean. I honestly do think you are super great awesome. I am also sorry that I got involved in a fight with you and Marijke in teh blw thread, it jsut felt like you teamed up, and got to look like the "baddie" when my intention swere not bad. I am just saying, doing what you do, blw and all, yes, I do not understand it, and yes, I do not feel comfortable with it, but YOU obviously got the hang of it. I am maybe just outyds, hahahah.

Anyhoo, long story short, I would like to say I am sorry too that I have upset you. Please MY over reaction, and my bad choice of words. Maybe if I expressed myself more gently we all could have been spared some hurt HUSG!!!! Friends???

Please don't be shy, post some pics of your blw, cause even if I may not try it myself, I DO want to support you if you need it, okay!!!
