Well, I'm at a loss as to what to do cause Alyssa is going to be a year old at the end of next month and she still won't eat lumpy food! Thankfully she will eat some finger foods, although she still won't chew properly so it has to be quite dissolvable or soft (bread is no good cause she tried to swallow big bits and ends up vomiting)... I wasn't worried early on when she wouldn't go for it but should I worry now?

our problem is more she's not that fussed on finger food. I asked Plunket about it last weekend and they said that as long as she can feed herself and her motor skills are developing then it really didn't matter.

Not much help with your problem but perhaps talk to Plunket? Maybe her gagging reflex is still there?

I learnt this week while watching some ridiculously boring daytime TV, that your gag reflex never goes away. My cousin who's an early childhood teacher said that they do the whole 'gag' thing to learn where the back of their throat is don't know how true that is, but I guess it makes sense! Pepsi, hope you have some luck with Alyssa and lumps. Try and persevere as much as you possibly can.

How many bottles are your 11 month olds on now?

Hehe cool...a rollercoaster would be an awesome present Toni! Definitely expensive but very unique

I'm still breastfeeding so can't give bottle amounts baalamb, but we are still on 4 feeds (would be 3 if Alyssa didn't wake in the night ).

I can't help you baalamb, I'm still breastfeeding as well and I can't help you either Pepsi, Lycan only feeds himself he doesn't like me feeding him anymore...and if I do, it's abit of a mission!

Not long to go and our babies will be 1!


Lycan and Peyton = Moon and back!!

Kirst - Erin is still on 3x bottles a day (now 200mls), when her current tin of follow-on formula runs out we will be giving her toddler milk, and introducing some regular milk as well.

what's the difference between toddler and follow on? I thought follow on WAS toddler? Karicare follow on says 6mths to 24mths, perhaps S26 (?) is different. I can't wait to get her off formula and onto cows milk as I've been pinning all my hopes that that will sort her issues out (but the homeopath stuff has pretty much fixed her but she has to keep taking that). We're planning on giving her cows milk during the day (from 12mths) and then a bottle of formula at bedtime.

I thought that was the case with the gagging thing, but wasn't 100% sure so didn't post it lol

Caitlin's on 3 200mls of formula and has heaps of water/juice as well.

I tried her today with the straw that comes with the juice carton, just to see what happened - she knew exactly what to do and drank the whole carton (150mls)! Such a guts!

Cool. All sounds good. We've just dropped Ashlee's middle-of-the-day bottle. She didn't miss it one bit! She has yoghurt and cheese as well so that gives her the calcium. I think we'll start bringing in cows milk into her cereal/Weetbix etc and see how she goes with that.

Ugh, it's always hard to know with the bottles thing. Especially with conflicting advice from every which way!

I had no idea about the gagging thing until this week! Interesting!!

Pepsi .. how many teeth does Alyssa have? I found that until Amelia had both top & bottom teeth she was useless with lumps and finger food. At my last Plunket visit the nurse said to keep trying, but all Amelia did was vomit her dinner, so I gave up until she was ready.

Kirst ... Amelia's on 3 x 200ml bottles per day. We use Karicare follow on formula. I've been doing no dairy until 12 months, so will be moving to the toddler formula next month, and will slowly introduce dairy products .. one at a time for a week each I think.

Not taking any chances with dairy intolerance/allergies on my side of the family. Already think she can't have apricots out the time ... cheeks seem to go VERY red?! Weird!

I think a couple of other formulas do it this way Toni, but I could be wrong. With S26 at least follow on is 6-12 months, and Toddler milk is 12mos and onwards. I will be giving Erin cows milk by itself soon as well though, since a) we go through bucketloads anyway, and b) the toddler milk / formula will last us longer that way too. Would love to see how Erin would go with one of those juice cartons, I have a horrible feeling she would squeeze it to make it explode LOL But might get a little one first and see how she goes.

Kirst - Erin has a lot of yoghurt and cheese as well, a cup of yoghurt with her weetbix or muesli in the morning, and cheese at lunch most days too. As I mentioned in an earlier post, she seems to be a wee guts at the moment!


Edit: Oh and Toni, I will have to have a look at the tins, but am not 100% sure what the actual nutritional differences are between the follow on and toddler formulas - maybe the Omega 3 and a couple of other things??

... and I think the formula for the older kids has more calories too (for energy)

Luna: Alyssa has 8 teeth. I don't think she really tries to chew with them though, just bites off chunks of finger foods and books!

I did a google search and it seems it is a pretty common occurance for babies Alyssa's age to still not be eating lumps.. One mother was complaining that her 22 month old is still unhappy with them!! Geez I hope it doesn't last that long!!

Jax: You're right about the carton drinks, Alyssa loves to squeeze her cartons and the juice spills out. I tend to let her hold it herself when it's a little bit more empty...

Interesting to know about the cows milk Jess.. I planned on introducing a bit more of it as well as Alyssa seems to enjoy little tastes of it. I wasn't going to use formula at all but have recently won a couple of tins of toddler milk through the Treasures magazine so might give that a try too.

*lurking*

Random observation Jess, but it could be nuts with the potato chip reaction. Depending on the brand they're often produced on the same production line. Otherwise it could be some of the ingredients in the flavoring, but as she's already having wheat and dairy no probs and they're the two main ingredients in the flavouring from an allergy perspective, I'd take a gamble on it being nuts
