hi all
thks 4 encouragements once again. finally get to sort of settled down & will b going back to work tis tuesday. hmm.. bb lance is doing well except down w a little cough/phylem... his feeding time has been messed up during the hospital stay (now will wake up 2+am and/or 4/5+am for milk, quite 'siong' 4 me...), i still trying to 'tune' it back (last time 11+pm or 12am, sleep thru till 6/7am).
re porridge, i also hvnt start yet, currently bb is on frisocream (when i take care) & EYS brown rice (when with nanny) for lunch oni, hvnt increase to 2 meal yet, bb love to drink milk alot, sometime 180ml also not enuff (3 - 3.5hrly, oni when he sleep can last 4hr) but dare not increase for time being. nanny say will try porridge abt 2 mths time... usually nanny cooked 2 meal for bb (she brew a big pot of soup & use the soup to cook porridge & add fine ingredients eg. fish, veg, etc), but when i do it myself over weekend or nanny 'on leave', i'll oni cook once (using same method, brew diffent types of soup & use the broth to cook porridge) & i store in the pot & reheat. if going out, i'll store in thermal flask (the brand i bought last time is 'gourmet' - pour v hot porridge inside can stay 6-7hrs still warm). i find using slow cooker to cook porridge tends to bcom watery v easily (though porridge can b v fine), so i use pot to cook instead. hope my info helps.
annie... keep sponging your bb if fever shoot up, esp the forehead, neck, behind ears, armpit, groins areas... thru my experience, if bb hving infection (high fever), the paraceltamol wont b so effective, ie, b4 6hrly the fever will come back & cant feed paraceltamol again... so sponging is still the best... hope your bb recover soon..
