Jan & Feb 2010 Mommies

It is going well with the cup feeding!
Although, I do believe madam realized what sh eis missing, as yesterday she breastfed like she used too, and not just snacking She still had two feeds from teh cup. By next week, Monday, we'll drop another breastfeed and add one more cup feed.

Morning ladies.

Well, I finally gave in, and started giving Jaqi a cup inbetween feeds, Sh edank from teh cup twice yesterday Doing really well. She had a breast feed this morning, taking really well, I think she might miss me, as 2 feeds yesterday were cup feeds. However, she is really showing a disinterest in breastfeeding, showing signs that she is ready to be weaned. I am sad on the one hand, but on the otehr hand, I will miss it. I will miss th ephysical closeness and the emosional closeness, above all.

How are you all doing? How are your babies?

Zodwa, I hope you're enjoying your week an djust relaxing whereever you are!

Charlotte started a new job, but unfortunately sh ehas no internet access.

Enjoy your week off, Zodwa - we want to see lots of pics when you get back!

EP No problem was my pleasure. It really got me angry reading everything everybody was saying & in the end nobody answered my question.
Iv been trying to imagine how u juggle 6 kids, DH, cooking, cleaning, ur business, blog & still have time to do moomie more regularly than me!!
Dnt stop coming to moomie!!! Who wld keep the Feb 2010 thread going!!!

Yoza Good for Buhle eating everything u eat!! I stopped doing BLW a while ago, poor baby got confused, one moment Im like feed urself, one moment Im like u dare try!!!
It really stopped being practical, we going away this weekend again & cant cook for him.
Dnt stress too much bout Buhle's weight, I know it makes u feel bad when they tell u she's overweight, bottom line is she's healthy. I dnt even know how much Ruru weighs, will find out nxt week when he gets his shots

Ruru's rash is disappearing, Iv applied nothing on it but I stopped giving him the cerelac with the strawberries. So I think they were the culprits.

We going away for a week, so see u ladies after the 20th!! Its Eid here again nxt week so we'll disappear

hello mummies

buhle eats what we eat. no more cooking aside we just watch we put on the food. she has mastered chewing. no mashing or pureeing.

She is mobile but not crwaling she rolls when she wants to move. she is trying to lift herself up and bum shuffles. looks like she wants to crawl but moves backwards and stops. she then pushes to a sitting position. She loves her food. cries when people eat. we all eat together

She loves strawberries. She eats tastee wheat porridge and oatmeal and occassionally some maltabella when siba has it. As for sugar i dont put any sugar in their porridge or butter just her formula milk and for siba i put first growth milk and I wanna keep it that way. Oh yes some cerelec and nestum as well.

I need to weigh her she is so big. I worry but then again she eats what she i suppose and the portions are the same. I put her on low GI food. like sweet potatoes brown basmati rice and brown pastsa. she has chicken and fish only no red meat except for beef once a week. for fruits i limit banana's. i suppose she takes after me. I was a big baby my mum says so all the time.

ok gotta go trainig session at work for the entire week.

Hi Zodwa and EP. good to hear that your babies are well.

hope all the other mums log in

Zodwa, I just wanted to to say: Thank you for being a friend - thank you for being YO! I know we had our differnces in the past - but I am sure we can both say that we're over that and we've really become friends. I hope that one day, when you're back in SA we can have a playdate!

Ahh Zodwa, I must be honest - first babie are often difficult to get into a routine. It was easier for us, since Micayla was prem, and she got used to the routine of the hospital, as she spent almost a month in NICU!

When I give Jaqi mealie pap. I add a tiny bit of brown sugar and a little blob of buttr.

Last night, I gave her some pasta, with a mushroom and cheese sauce! She loved it and gobbled it all up. Wanted more, so she ate her dad's
