11 December 08

With trepidation, I instigated a change to Emily's routine. She normally has a breast feed as soon as she wakes, and then breakfast an hour later. However, I have been worried at how little she eats (half a Weetabix and a few slices of banana), so I decided to give her solids first and then top up with milk. Eventually I have to get her to take her milk from a beaker, but though this is recommended by one year old I can't see it happening for some time yet. I also thought I would start using the high chair tray as she likes to help herself to finger food. Well, Plan B wasn't very successful as she hardly ate any more food than usual, and the subsequent milk feed was definitely less than before. That left me worried about her calcium intake - never particularly high as it was. I resolved to keep up the new regime for a while though, before re-thinking. She quite liked using the tray though. It seems that banana makes excellent hair gel.


Later I took her to the Hamamatsucho jidokan, where she spent most of the time tearing up and down swapping from one walker to another, or playing in the ball pit.
