hi mummies, havent posted in awhile. was wondering what kinds of activities you do with baby to keep them occupied? my girl gets bored of her toys/walker/tv/everything quickly and i try to take her out a lot so i don't go crazy having to entertain her 24/7. any ideas that will give me some...

hi vodkarib, just happened to read your post and thought i might share with you how i put my baby to sleep. she was colicky when younger and found it very difficult to get to sleep as well. what i did was to buy one of those big exercise balls, hold baby in my arms and bounce on the ball...

hi pearly, wow kait's feeding has indeed improved! so good to hear that. my girl is still so hard to feed. i am thinking of introducing some cereal diluted with milk to see if it will increase her appetite... desperate already to get her to drink well. hehe. thanks for ur update, it helps to...

hi mummies, my girl's milk intake has still been decreasing... so stressed about it! now she takes only 400ml a day. brought to PD and was advised to syringe feed. she just spits the milk back out though. any mummies still going through this? pearly, what's ur girl's average intake now...

pearly, ur very fortunate leh ur baby sounds very easygoing, go out also easy. my baby's like aria's no. 2, too alert and doesn't want to miss out on anything, so i hardly take her out, otherwise she gets overtired... i know what u mean about force-feeding... my girl just won't drink when...

aria, yes when something catches my girl's attention she will focus on it and study it for a long time. she likes looking at her reflection in the mirror too. feifei, thanks for sharing. it's a relief to know that yours and aria's PDs said babies need lesser now... looking at the...

tien, thanks. im going to try and extend her feeds and wait till she's really hungry because now it is so stressful to keep trying to coax her to drink when she's just not interested. so ur girl does 120ml every 3 hours? mine can last 3 hours with only 60ml! aria, ur girl also drinks 120ml...

hi tien, when u say lasting longer between feeds do u mean that their milk requirement drops as they get older? my girl doesn't show any hunger signs, how will i know how long to wait to feed her? do u usually wait like 3-4 hours? one doctor i saw said to start on solids at 4 months if she...

pearly, wow only 3 times a day! no middle of the night feed either? did u ask the doc for advice? i actually think my girl would do the same thing if i didn't keep trying to feed her every half hour when she's awake. haha. at least yours can drink 150-210 at one go. after 60ml my girl is no...

hi pearly, how much is your baby drinking now? i'm going through the same thing where she won't drink much when awake and prefers to look around, turning her head left and right the whole time. regarding yaolan, there was a time i would put her in wide awake and in a few minutes she'd be...

like some of your babies, my girl also drinking very little now, only about 500-600ml! she used to do 900ml. i try so hard to feed her but she's so distracted. i have to make her drowsy and cover her eyes then she will drink. she had oral thrush (white tongue) and doc thought that was the reason...

hi aria, yeah my baby had severe colic crying endlessly day and night for months. i was so close to depression. it's reduced to just evening hours now, but i find that the more she sleeps in the day the less fussy she is in the evening. everyday i learn different ways to soothe her... what do u...

hi aria jo, thank you for your reply. i guess you're right that her bedtime will be adjusted by her nap times in the future. she gets very cranky between her last nap time and her bedtime though. tired but doesn't want to sleep, just cry and cry! she is happy all day and then come 7pm the...

hi mummies, im new here. i wanted to find out what your babies' bedtimes start. my baby naps about 3 times in the day then gets tired around 5 or 6pm. she sometimes sleeps for an hour and then she's wide awake/fussy and has short naps but doesn't get to bed for the night until 10 or 11pm. any...
