timminbuzz, That's the problem with direct latch, we never know how much baby is taking...but I am pretty sure that my gal will be the same as your boy....after full milk feed still can take full serving of cereal ! Should not worry as I believe babies will know when to stop if they are really...

Today I 'reintroduced' solid to her slowly by latching her on first and then only give her half serving, 2 tbsp of cereal. Going slow this time and making sure she take sufficient liquid...hopefully everything goes well...

So use to not giving water that I forgot that baby will need lots of liquid (including water) upon starting solid. I was so naive to try to replace the cereal as a meal feed and only latch her on for while when she cried for more cereal towards the end of the feed. Felt so bad that she was so...

Also have to make sure the liquid intake is sufficient. This guideline as a minimum for liquids when start solids: 2 meals/day = 650ml/day OR 4 breast feeds 3 meals/day = 450-500ml OR 3 breast feeds Plus need to ensure that we give water too, if possible up to 100ml

Now only I realised that I made a mistake by giving milk after solid when I should have give her milk first and the solid should just be a supplement 8-9 months then only it will be a 'meal'. So I would like to share here so that other mummies won't be like me. Remember give milk first o..

Hi all, Long time din post dy...I have just started my gal on solid last week and she loves the HT Brown Rice cereal very much and will cry for more even though I give full serving of 4 tbsp. First few days she was taking it well before I gave her full servings. But then she started to...

I've been researching a bit on baby's poo. Just to share.... As she gets a little older (usually around 6 weeks) you will probably see her number of stools declining to one per day, or one every other day, or even one every 2-3 days or longer. I have heard of breastfed babies going 1-2...

Twinstar, Once we crossed the bridge to motherhood, they is no turning back. At first there will be lots of clouds and we will have to struggle through. However, after a while....we will see the sunshine! Motherhood will change our life forever...that includes our relationship with others...

missysz/annlee, I will PM you about the M size supershield. Can collect directly from Dongle's place when it arrive in about a week's time.

missyz, You need to check and identify if it is always the same nipple. I simply think it could be the valve or the bellow of your pump not working properly causing no sucking effect for one of the pump. There was once my CL did not fix the silicon bellow properly causing one side of the...

celynlee, I felt the same the first time using but after trying a couple of times, I just got the hang of it and it works fine. Maybe you want to give it another go. fairiekim/missysz, Handfree strap alone not sufficient. It needs the supershield fixed to the funnel to get the handsfree...

celynlee, I am using Ameda Dual electic pump. The supershields helped me relax and I can recline and no milk leaking out. Without the super shields, have to sit upright holding the pump with both hands...very tiring oh...

Cindy, Can drink a bit night time after last feeding. I am thinking of starting to drink DOM also. Maybe will start tonight...: )

Krex78, Dongle helped us to order from pumpin' pal's in US but I could not wait and have got my supershield from mumsfairy. It has helped me a lot and reduced so much stress during pumping. If you are keen, I will let go the M size supershield that will be arriving in a week plus time at...
