Morning access and more settled

We have started access visits mid morning, Mum & Dad must have been able to reorganise their day and their daily dose of methadone...early access is agreeing with babycakes and his few hours of squealing is now for no more then twenty minutes or so.

Because he sleeps for nearly 12 hours at night he is more awake and happier to be kept awake for that little bit longer earlier in the day and he has a longer sleep now in the afternoon.

I have started giving him a variety of solids now he is 4 months old, only a few teaspoons twice a day, I started off with pureed pears which he loves and I think if I let him he would demolish the whole jar but he isn't ready just yet for that much food so a bit at a time and I will build up over the ne3xt few months to a jar of pears, lunchtime I give him pureed veg's and the first meal Ithink more went on his bib than in his mouth...amazing how he knew after one teaspoon how to eat and swallow...babies are really intelligent, far more intelligent than we give them credit for.

One time I had a newborn baby which I noted when I was feeding her a bottle that her tongue was attached quite close to her gums so I asked my Doctor about it and she said it was a 'tongue tie' and it was Ok as long as she could poke her tongue out, she was only about 3 weeks old at the time so I started saying repeatedly to her "poke your tongue out" at the same time poking my tongue out...blow me down, if she didn't start copying me and by the time she was 6 weeks old she was poking her tongue out by comand...I couldn't beleive my eyes so I videod her and showed the video to my friends who were in disbelief.
