Yesterday took leave to take hh for his jab. He only gained 650g for the past mth, now at 4 mths only 6.64kg. I was not surprised becoz he didn't seem much heavier & has not been drinking as much milk as he used to.
PD told us no need to give him water & try to increase his intake to 5oz of fm becoz he shld be taking 5oz now, not less.
Okay, after all that talking that made me so worried, I asked him, is HH underweight??? He said NO, hh's weight is ideal, just that his weight gain is not as impressive as previously only. Aii, make us so worried for nothing.
Btw, a point on cereal/ solids:
I asked PD if it's true that giving cereal will help bb put on weight faster. He said milk is the best source of protein for bb, cereal will help bb to gain fats instead. Hmm, anyone heard of this before? He doesn't recommend we start hh on cereal yet. He said earliest is after 5 mths we may offer 1-2 spoonfuls to let hh learn how to use his tongue to eat, that's all. He said the later we intro solids the better wor.
