I'd like to start off by apologising for not writing the last few days - it's because I've turned into a sleep deprived zombie.
BB has decided he doesn't like nightimes. He's constantly waking, doesn't want a feed, cuddles, dummy. He's not hot/cold, doesn't have a wet bum... and yet something stops him from sleeping. He wakes at least hourly, and I go in, replace his dummy, and go back to bed. I can hear him tossing and turning in his sleep, so I burp him... and nothing comes up. Tonight I'm going to try a bit of gripe water as I'm completely lost. I don't know whether to try calpol as he might be teething. At the minute I'd try anything as funnily enough, crying out of frustration doesn't do a lot to settle him! I actually gave up at 4.50 am this morning and let him sleep on my whilst I watched TV.
On a positive note - I made his first purees for the freezer. It's a trial and error process, and the first one was more error than anything...
I peeled and boiled two sweet potatoes, and popped them into my blender... switch on... nothing.
Bugger.
Tried readjusting, putting it into another plug... nothing.
Sigh...
So I put it into a bowl, got a whisk, and pressed on. Yes, it went everywhere at first. But I've managed to make a puree, adding a bit of the cooking water.
I popped it into an icecube tray... still loads left. used a few of the weaning pots I have... Still loads left.
Note to self, two sweet potatoes makes a ridiculous amount of puree!
So yesterday I went to my mum's and did a butternut squash one, using her steamer and food processor - so much easier!
Must get some kind of new blender!!
Eagerly anticipating the day when I can sleep again...
