Hi everyone

Well, I'm losing on the sleep issues, but with the food I'm winning - well, kind of.

Not sure if you remember but I was scared of DS choking as he has a really strong gag reflex. I was scared that if I gave him finger food he'd choke.....I mean I was PETRIFIED!
DS also wasn't eating alot of solids via spoon.

I visited the health clinic and the lady I saw was awesome. Her attitude was that if DS has 4 spoons of cereal it's still breakfast and not to worry. She said his weight is fine and height etc.

Anyway, the biggest help was her telling me to try little fingernail size pieces of bread, steamed fruit etc and work my way up, teaching him how to bite little pieces at a time.
Guess what?? We did it!!! He is now taking more finger food than spoon fed food so I am starting to put his puree onto bits of bread.

I just wanted to say thanks to those that offered help and support on here as well. thanks girls!
