Surely you didn't STILL need an instruction Manual to get the third one...
He probably did, they change the guidelines every 4 minutes.
By child 4 I'm pretty sure we were making a decent effort of raising her. She is healthy and happy and everyone who meets here says she is a joy to be with. We have never had so much as one negative comment from her teachers, in fact quite the reverse. They uniformly describe her in glowing terms.
So the payoffs are working.
Good to know.
Careful where you go there, old bean.Quote:

so you may cross the line in an acceptable range, so may start feeding him solid food a bit early and step by step...
This is from my own experience, you may contact another pediatrician before going through this... Say hi to your cute baby :)

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
Trying avocado tomorrow btw. Carrot today, it went down, but it wasn't as popular as the banana.
See my previous re "hoi milk girl, what's this garbage where's my fucking banana"
Remember you can be eclectic, he doesn't give a shit (well he does, you know what I mean). You might not fancy banana and avocado, he isn't a bigot tho'. Not suggesting that particular mix like, just illustrating a point.
Actually, banana and avocado tastes like chocolate. True story.
I thought you Belgians liked your chocolate seriously bitter and stuff.Quote:

True story.
Too much sugar, fat head.
As for the chocolate... I prefer milk chocolate with a praline filling. YUm.
Praline filling?? Peanut butter is better :snooty:
Yes, last time I was in the states, the wonderful world of M&Ms with peanut butter opened up...
It's a good thing they don't sell them here; I'd be the size of a house by now.
That is hilarious. I have part ownership of two small boys each weekend and they spend all week eating crap processed food and sugar, then come to us and it's a nightmare getting them to eat proper food. I may try cultivating a fear of potato-based snacks. Wonder if I can terrify them with sugar too? "Woooo!!!! Starburst!!!!"Quote:

I thought he must be the only one who had a fear of crisps, but I googled it and there's loads of weirdos like him.
If anyone from social services reads this forum and has taken notice of my parenting skills, I may be in a bit of trouble.
Avocado yesterday. He loved it! Tried apple today. Not as popular as banana and avocado, but still in the liking range.
Sweet potato tomorrow I reckon.
try mushied; potatoe + egg + carrot
Do no such thing. Feeding eggs to young children, for fuck sake man get a grip of yourself. Yolks in 6 or 7 months maybe, whites a few months after that. If you feel so inclined.
Ignore everything ziggy says from now on skweeky. Consider putting him on ignore just to be safe.
I'm glad the we man liked the avocado, clearly a potential hoops wearer.

Avocados are sometimes thought of as a vegetable but they are actually a fruit and contain more nutrients than any other fruit - perfect for weaning baby. They are also rich in monounsaturated fat, the ‘good type’ of fat which helps prevent heart disease. The high calorie content of avocado makes it a good food for growing babies. Avocado is a great source of the free radical fighting antioxidant vitamin E, which also boosts the immune system. Avocado is easy to digest.
Cut a small avocado in half, remove the stone, scoop out the flesh and mash together with a little of your baby’s usual milk.
Yeah I knew about the eggs. It's a bit early to start mixing foods yet. I'm just going to introduce all the things seperately and then in a month or so I'll start making him proper meals.
So yeah, the avocado was a massive hit. He had a quarter of an avocado mixed with breastmilk, quite a lot for a wee man really. Well, I say wee... he's 17lbs now and in 6-9 months clothes because his legs are so long.
Loving every single minute of it though. Every night after I put him to bed I feel like I accomplished something really good. I love being a mum :D
It sounds to me like you're a natural, pal. Was there ever any doubt.Quote:

Naw, I don't eat much meat and I prefer to eat tofu and veggie stuff but it's just out of preference not because I don't want to eat it.
Oh, on a completely different note. Do you own any shares? And if yes, can you recommend a decent trading account? I was looking at the HSBC one but I'm not sure if it would be a better idea to go with a proper stockbroker.
No knowledge of the subject at all, Pal.Quote:

Are you specifically interested in shares or do you have money to invest. I'm told that the ISA is a good thing to do with spare cash because of the tax situation.
This is a good site for all things money related http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/
Here's a thing on ISAs for example, to give you a feel. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/best-cash-isa
ok i just did a read up, your right about the egg thing for babies under six months.
It seems to be an allergenic food, like peanuts, specifically if it runs in the family.
My bad.
Never heard of the yolk vs egg white thing though.
I was thinking RBS shares, I've already got some stuff in ISA's.
I shall track down Les and bother him.
I suspect their price is as low as it's going to get after announcing the £24,000,000,000 losses earlier today. It might just be the right time to get in there.Quote:

I see your subtle ploy to get in touch with him :glag:
It's so cunning it can't fail.
Maybe I should get it announced in Central Station tomorrow morning. He can't miss that. Or publish it in the Metro.
I see Les as more or a Graudian man.Quote:

He probably buys a copy everyday.
He seems like the type who would leave 20p for it.
He's a Scot ffs, and his moms Belgian.Quote:
