clingy bb
Thank God, Nicole is not clingy. She's ok with pple. *easy to kidnap*
But when hb or I am around, she'll prefer to be with us. So I'm really thankful for that.
Caymom, it's ok. Your daughter is just at the separation anxiety stage. According to books, they get over this when we keep showing them that they are still loved when you're not around. May take a while, but will work!
Diaper war
I use the new diaper to distract her. She'll play with it, while i clean her mess. Then when I need the new diaper, WAR starts!! tried the tickle the tummy method, but she's too wriggly i end up tickling the backside! So I gave her a clean baby wipe for her to play. This worked until she started to put the entire piece in her mouth and sucking it DRY!!!! aiyo... scary.
So till now, war still goes on everyday!
Putting bb to sleep
Nicole drinks herself to sleep. I know it's bad.. causes some teeth deformation. so usually, once she's asleep, which takes abt 5min, I'll take bottle out. difficult part is when we forget and fall asleep ourselves!
Eating
Nicole hates fish, chicken, pork and all meat other than grinded ikan bilis! how?!?!?! not too keen on having a vegetarian daughter at this age! Will be trying out all the saliva inducing recipes that u gals posted. hope it works!
Weaning bottle
i think wasted $$ on the mag mag cup. My maid has been feeding nicole water using the bottle cover. (so it's like a mini cup). She says in Philippines, that's how they train the bb to drink from cup. And surprisingly, she can drink of the cup, with little dripping. lesson learnt: the primitive methods of the past may be more effective than the expensive modern method.
DANGER alert
Anyone's bb did danger stunts?
nicole put a pen in her mouth, slammed the door in her face (thank God fingers not there!), sucked the handphone charger (!!) and the usual picked up dust, scraps of paper etc
