"you have to get her on 3 meals per day and a couple of spoons of babyrice isn't enough" Actually a couple of spoons of babyrice was far too much bearing in mind that my little princess was less than half the weight of the average baby her age imagine how small her stomach must have been. "17weeks is the magic number" from a health visitor. But whatever happened to when shes ready? i mean i was holding a tiny little baby who couldn't sit up by herself and could just about manage 3ozs of milk in one go, whyever would she suddenly be ready for pureed veg just because she hit an age milestone?
