Simmi replied. Hi Avi and Nikita. Well, even I think the quantity is huge but if we manage to eat some combis and make it a balanced diet, I think we might be Ok seeing we r taking supplements too. Hope for the best.
Have a bank holiday Monday off so looking forward to the long weekend and putting my feet up!
Hope you guys get rest too! Nikita replied. Hi Simmi,

When I read this msg, I had exactly the same reaction as Avi...that is a whole lot of food for such a tiny being.

Anyways, I guess I'll have to start eating double or even three times of what I'm eating now.

Thanks alot for sharing this with all of us.

Take care.
Avi replied. Wow, this is great.......Thanks a lot Simmi...I need to print this one out and stick on my refridgerator (except the fats and sweets part :) ) or something to remind myself every day....

sooooo much food for such a little baby..... :)
