Hi coffeedrinker,
for breakfast, my girl has 200ml of FM, and about 3-4 tablespoon of cereal (before mixing with some FM or puree. after mixing is about 1 small bowl). i will give her heinz banana cereal or brown rice cereal mixed with puree for breakfast.
hi Sharon,
My girl's schedule is something like this:-
715/730am - 200ml FM + 3 tablespoon cereal (dry before mixing)
11am - 150ml FM
1230pm - 1 bowl porridge (about 6-7 tablespoon of porridge)
4pm -150ml FM
6/630pm - 1 bowl porridge (about 6-7 tablespoon of porridge)
8/815pm (before bed) - 150ml FM
dunno if i am over feeding her or not..her stomach is always so 'big' after eating hee
hi tingting,
check with you something...you mentioned 3 spoonfuls, is it before mixing (ie. dry) or after mixing with water/milk etc? i always get blur when i read forum and they mention spoonfuls..so not sure if my girl is over or under eating..

hi I'm mummy to be,
when u say porridge , do you have meat and vege in them? It is also advisable to have fruits after their meals at this age ( I am following Gina Ford feeding schedule)
I think as long the amt of food includes one meat and 2 vege and 2 fruits, I think your girl should be eating fine.
Actually you will know whether she is under or overeating just by looking at her weight, the avg weight for 8 mths is about 8-8.5kg

hi i'm a mummy,
mine is 3 spoonfuls (normal adult mealtime spoon) of cereal, before mixing. sometimes my mum will give fruit/juice after bfast as well.
zephan's schedule is somewhat the same as ur gal's, but less 1 milk feed:
6am - milk feed (latch on)
8am - cereal
11am - lunch (1 rice bowl of porridge)
2pm - milk feed (either latch/FM/EBM)
5pm - dinner (1 rice bowl of porridge)
8pm - milk feed (latch on)

re: feeding
Actually I feed Clarence anything and everything. He just shared a Chicken Nugget Meal with me over the weekend and we had steamboat yesterday. Of cos he joined in too. He has almost 10 teeth now.
re: gai gai
My bb also likes to go gai gai. Will glee in delight if we open the door. My mum calls him 'hwei ka' (in hokkien)
These days he seems to be calling 'ba ba' - not very clear. Very disappointed that he didn't call 'ma ma' first since I spend so much time with him!
Sharon,
I think that is just one of the phrases bbs go thru. Clarence always drinks very little milk when he was 6-7 mth old. Now he is back to 'normal' until

re: solids, i've given egg yolk (mixed into porridge) and bread (pinch off my own bfast). as for cheese, i think the best is to avoid blue cheese until they're older. normal processed cheese slices are high in sodium. think best should be cottage cheese? but i havent tried that though.
Hi I'm a Mummy,
can I check if ur gal finish all the porridge. I always have trouble feeding her. I take it as if she refuse means she full liao. I have fed baby egg yolk mixed in porridge, gardenia bread (the blue one). I also fed some kraft cheddar slices to my gal but stop cos I am not v sure if can eat cos I thot it was abit too salty?
Anissa
Wah ur boy oredi has 10 teeth? My gal only has 2 bottom now growing 2 top. Super drooly, has to keep wiping saliva. Can eat anything is good cos going out will b easier.
To all mommies,
Any baby has changed his/her sleeping habits? Mine refuses to sleep in the morn. Dunno issit bcos she wakes up at 8+ now. Worry that she dun hv enough sleep.

I'm a mummy!,
Yeah, he has 6 teeth on top and 4 teeth below. No choice. Greedy pig has to have more teeth so that he can eat more stuff. Hahaha... I'm quite scared to bf him these days. Never know when he will bite. OUCH!
Cupcake,
Actually it's not advisable to feed your bb outside food But I just don't have the heart not to give him when he screams his head off. His 1st 2 teeth came out when he was 3 mth+ and by 5mth he already knew how to drink from straw. Sometimes he even takes my coke! Hahaha...
re: sleeping habit
I think at 8 mth they no longer sleep so much...

anissa, now that clarence is taking sugary/sodium food must remember to wash off with water and to brush his teeth at night. remembered long time ago TCS actress Ivy Lee was blasted by dentists after she said in an interview that she gave her daughter all the sweets she wants cos "baby teeth will drop off anyway". If u dowan to give him the food try distracting him or carry him away.
re: sleeping
zephan sleeps just as much as before, about 12-14 hrs per day. guess he's the type who needs to sleep a lot. but then he's v active during waking hrs, always want to jump, climb, crawl, etc.. maybe that's why more easily tired.

Hi cupcake,
Yup my gal finishes her porridge..i will usually feed her until she burps, then i stop haha usually its about one bowl full...
Hi Anissa,
wah 5 months can use straw already? so good! how did you teach him? my girl still refuses to use the cup with soft spout. She will just chew on the spout, or wave/shake/throw the cup around...
re- sleeping
ya my girl sleeps less in the day now...nowadays, her naps are only about 45min-1hr, and she naps 3 times a day. last time her naps were about 2 hours long each time, and i could do much more while she was sleeping. Now, after i rock her to sleep, by the time i finish washing her bottles, towels, bibs etc. and i settle down and do my stuff, she wake up liao..sigh..
At night, she sleeps about the same number of hours. from around 830pm to 630/7am

Hi all mummies...
Have been following this thread on and off but didn't really post much...
I'm a Mummy,
My 8-month old boy Joshua also cannot drink from cup with soft spout yet too... play with it instead... so now still relying heavily on bottle...
Check with you mummies,
Do your babies sleep through the night already..? Mine have not since birth, now still wakes up once every night (about 1-2am) to drink milk... My friend told me to give water instead... will that help?
Any gatherings during this june? Hope to join you gals then cos that's the time I'm most free..)
Just to share with you a pix of him.. O

Hi mummies, thanks for sharing schedule and type of breakfast.
I uses the scoope for milk powder as a measurement for Cereal.. so 3-4 tablespoon of cereal.. maybe about 5 scoop hor?
My gal sleep about 14 hour a day.. nite to morning is 10 hour and during the day nap total 4 hour.. how to make her eat every 3 hourly..?
her schedule currently :
7.30am milk 180ml
9.30-10.45 sleep (1 hour 15 min)
11.00 lunch-porridge
12pm fruit
1.00-3.00 sleep (2 hour)
3.00 milk 180ml
5.00-5.45pm sleep (45min)
6.30pm dinner-cereal
8.30 sleep to tomorrow 7.00pm (10hour)
I want to feed her morning breakfast (cereal) but no slot leh , how? every morning,she drink milk and bath already 8.15am , then she will " send me to work" (my hubby send me to work .. office just 5 min from my home).. drop me off to office and return home but go playground/garden first till 9.15am, then return home and drink water.. sleep at 9.30am.
No slot for her to eat cereal!
any ways to change?

hi coffeedrinker, think u'll have to combine the morning feed with cereal? or feed cereal at 8-8.30am. for mornings, i feed zephan cereal at 8am (milk feed at 6am), followed by bath at 8.30am and nap at 9am. so long as u have space between cereal, bath n nap so that she's not to full to bathe and sleep.
sharon/triniti,
is it necessary to add veg to bfast? cos we adults also never take them in the morning. for porridge, i usually give 1 meat (fish/pork), 1 root (carrot, pumpkin, radish) and 1-2 veg (leafy, broccoli, cabbage). I usually give pork for lunch and fish for dinner cos fish more easily digestible. Following the mantra: have a good breakfast, full lunch, and light dinner.. hehe...

Hi Applejuz,
Nope, that photo is 'pose and snap'... cannot sit steadily on the car yet..)
Coffeedrinker,
What i did for bf is that I will prepare his cereal with ebm and he will eat the cereal followed by the remaining ebm (about 100ml)... all these after his bath at 7.30am...
Tingting,
I added fruits like peach to my cereal for his bf but not vegetables... that's for lunch....
Mine can usuallly nap for 1-1.5 hour... That Sat, when i slinged him while shopping, he slept for 2.5 hours...ouch...my back and shoulders... I even ate my dinner while slinging him...
oh boy... it's only Tuesday...(

I have emailed you
Anton don't like the spout either, instead he loves to drink from the cup itself ( like us adults) though he he has minor spills from the side but he can drink alot from the cup...so I was thinking once he can drink without spilling , I will also let him drink his milk from the cup
which means no more sterilising of bottles and washing so many parts hehehehe

I'm a mummy,
Actually we didn't train him to drink frm straws. He likes to follow us and drink frm mineral bottles instead of his own milk bottle so my mum gave him a straw and to our surprise, he sucks frm it. At first I didn't believe when my mum told me so I put the clear straw in a coke can and gave it to Clarence. To my surprise, he drank frm the straw. I guess when it comes to food, he will try ways and means to get it into his mouth. Hahaha...
tingting,
Thnks for the advice. Will start doing so tonight! Btw, his latest fav is strawberry!

hi,
I tried the magmag cup but my gal also can't really drink well from it. I realise that the spout is not at the edge so got to tilt the cup quite high. Whearas the tollyjoy one, the spout is at the edge she can drink much better. Just too bad the tollyjoy one doesn't have any cover so not too good for bringing out.
Once we're at a restaurant and the waitress gave her a cartoon cup with straw.. she took the draw and bite instead of sucking from it hehe.. Maybe we shld have demo to her at that time...

cakey, zephan also doesnt like to drink from the mag mag spout, just likes to chew it. but he likes his nuby spout cup, and can drink a lot from it, though he'll chew it after a while too! mag mag is not drip-proof right? think the hole is too big and water will drip out when tilted.
Anyone can advise whether cereal is a cuase of constipation? I read it in one of the websites provided in this thread...? I have been giving him Heinz multigrain cereal for his breakfast everyday... He tried to do his business just now and was wailing away because it was hard and wouldn't come out... have been giving him veg, fruits and barley water everyday, and changed FM from Nan to Similac but doesn't seem to improve... any advice on this? Really heart pain to see him cry like this
hi tingting,
My magmag doesn't drip but my gal kept getting choke drinking from it leh.. abt 80% of the time she'll end up coughing (like choking) when drink from it.. Thinking of getting another cup but quite 'heart pain' to buy another one after spending so much on the magmag..
Maybe I try let her drink direct from the cup or train her to use straw hehe...

hi cakey, tingting, featherg
my magmag cup drips, so i bought a magic cup from avent but that one the spout in the middle and design a bit odd, seems hard for her to drink from and one from munchkin,the munchkin one i find is better, but still also dun like..all she dun like or refuse to drink from..haiz, waste my money

i find the nuby one quite good..
but might as well train them on cup at this point rather than spending $$ on more cups.
Hosanna, grains contain fibre, so u need water combined w fibre to move bowels effectively. try to give him more plain water? and feed a single grain that's more refined, e.g. rice, wheat cereal. Coarse grains like oats can be withheld for the time being until the problem is solved. If he doesn't poo for more than 3 days, got to see GP to clear it first.

eileen, eh, not possible to puree broccoli right? cos it's quite dry, unlike leafy vegs.i also just chopped the flower part n cook together w porridge. in fact, i've never pureed anything for zephan before.

hi mummies,
for veg such as broccoli or leafy ones can we pre-cook/steam then freeze them huh? else cook abit each time is very time-consuming and also alot of leftover uncook ones..
It's really not easy being mummy leh.. to think that we don't usually cook (and don't really know how to cook hehe..) and just eat out every weekend.. Then now got to start cooking and not only that, must make sure the stuff we cook is appertizing to our bb..
Dare not complain to my mum can only complain here... everytime I complain she'll nag that "now-then-know-hor" hehe..

Hi ladies, long long time nvr log in has been very busy since i started work lately.. trying to juggle between work & family..
For veggies, usually kylie will eat wat we eat for the meal. Juz take out some and cook for her.. anyway she isn't a porridge person.. she prefers taking cereal.. usually porridge she only have like half a bowl. I dun agree to cook in few portions and store it in freezer, as wat Vone says nutrients level will not be tat high..
