Today my Rachel started on brown rice cereal. My MIL home made it. It has brown rice, ikan bills and some herbs (including si shen) that is toasted and grind to powder. Then she cook it over small fire for abt a few mins until the powder becomes "gluey" (err how do u describe that?)
Anyway Rachel was not very good in being spoon feed initially but after a while, she seems to get the hang of it and start sipping the cereal off the spoon ! hehe v cute. She even cried for more when she finished it ! Oh and we fed her 30mins before her feeding time. Luckily she still managed to finish her regular milk intake.
So my MIL suggests we feed her once a day and slowly increase if she is able to.
I bought the BUMBO seat at last yr motherhood fair at $72, jasmine, u've got urself a good deal leh !

I am ok with latching but Rachel is very naughty leh .. she will latch halfway and cry for bottle. I cant expect to let her cry at ppl's hse leh .. so I rather bring EBM along and pump. Very scared supply will drop during CNY. If need to then gotta leave early for home then ... guess with kids, it is unavoidable. hehe cant enjoy CNY as much as we did !
Gals,
I have been expressing for 5 mths oredi and only recently, I have very sore nipples. Can see some dry skin on my nipple too. I tried to apply BM on my nipples after each express and air it dry. But it doesnt help. I am using Medela Dual Electric and each pull of the nipple is quite painful. Sometimes I really dread pumping becos of the pain but I cant skip leh .. else ss not enough.
Oh and I did not even turn it the max suction power. How ah ? ..
