Mom_yam,
Yah, I agree with you! Now when I see Aiden trying to grab the spoon from his bowl of porridge, I quickly snatched the whole thing away! Bad mummy hor? I really cannot imagine how my house (and me) will look like when he starts to self-feed.
But our babies gotta start somewhere right? It's now or later; we can run but we cannot hide! We need to muster up courage to face this.
At least u got maid to clean up after Isaac; I only got poor old me to do it. Or got to summon hb to do it lor.
Milk is still very impt at this stage. I gave him Enfagrow just now, made 220ml from the sample sachet, he drank 140ml nia. Not bad liao lah. I took a sniff of the milk, and it's not as icky-smelling as Enfapro. I planning to skip his cereal tomm morning, and let him drink Enfagrow. Gotta cut down on his solids so that, hopefully, he'll increase his milk intake.
Yoghurt - failed, he doesn't like.
Cod liver oil - can try, but no high expectations on my boy. It's very very good for our babies though, builds up strong immunity.
Hunnie,
I'm kinda surprised that despite lesser direct latch, my BM supply still hung in there. Aiden can latch and make gulping sounds for several minutes, so I reckon that he is indeed downing good amts of BM. Sometimes when he latches, he'll make "mmm mmm" sounds, sounded like he is on a "high".... very funny!
