Happy girl
Flying with Dad
Big smiles - see my new necklace
So, finally after a week of struggling, crying, tempers, starving, dehydrating....... Natalia has returned - not 100%, but almost. She started eating solids again on Monday, after 6 days of fighting me and not being interested, and only by Thursday did she have a healthy appetite again. She also started drinking 200ml of formula again, not always finishing it, but more often than not..... so I am a happy and relaxed Mom again!!!
I introduced her to plain yoghurt yesterday with her fruit and she loved it - pulling faces at first, but then enjoying it. So now she has pear or apple for lunch with yoghurt. For breakfast she has cereal with prunes (for her tummy), and for dinner butternut or carrots. So far this is all she's tried, but I plan to introduce more tastes soon. Only thing is when we go on holiday now, I'm going to have to buy Purity or Olli and I'm not sure what to do really. If any of you have advice for me on shop bought baby food, please assist.
Natalia and I also started Moms & Babes again on Thursday, she's in the 6-9 months category now and we are learning a whole lot of new things. We sat next to a baby boy named Matthew -it looked like love - she was licking his hand and he hers, and they couldn't get enough of each other. Natalia just loves other babies, kids and people. She's the charmer of the family!!!
I also bought her proper teething beads made from Baltic Amber that everyone swears by. Quite a pricey affair, but look when you're desperate you're desperate and you'll try anything, short of medicating her into unconsciousness - lol. She's really had a terrific week, 1000 times better than the previous one. I feel refreshed, yay!!!
Now bring on the holiday. I can't wait for our road trip to the Cape and Natal in a week and a bit. 2.5 weeks of R&R, if there is such a thing with a baby......
On a sad last note, one of my brother inlaw's friends passed away last night ......so our sympathies go out to all the people affected. Tim RIP.
Love P x 3

Hi Leigh, glad to hear that Natalia is back to her happy self! I also preferred to give keaton freshly made food, but in some cases you might have to give her purity or oli, but what i can tell you is that on your road trip if you find a woolies, they sell the freshly made baby puritys in the fresh food section, I think they have banana and pear, mango, peach, and alot of veg varietys! its a fresh food so will have to be eaten on the day bought unless put in a fridge. Hope it helps for some days! It looks like baby purity just a fresh version! Megan
ha ha ha love your title, so glad miss is feeling lots better!
