Autumn,
Oh yar... strewning things around is their fave pastime. My sis bought her a ball tent with 100 balls inside... Guess how much fun I had picking up balls? Actually I'm okay with picking up, just that if I'm not home, my PILs will be the ones to do that. Wah, I dun want to be responsible for breaking their backs man and FIL leg not good liao, MIL arms not good also...

i only wan to bring some hot water to make Jo's milk. i have a 0.45L tiger sahara mug bottle. i have to unscrew the cap and risk getting hot water all over myself in the car. 0.45L also much more than i really need. i saw the 0.35L Thermos one at Robinsons.. my gf got it for $31 after the Robinsons discount. it has a snap lid, which is much easier to handle..

YY,
No, she never wakes up for milk liao. She din even want to drink milk remember? For a long time I will just hold her up, put bottle to mouth and she will suck suck. For the fourth day today, she rejected the bottle violently. Actually she did suck at the beginning but I geh kiang, want to put her head on a pillow instead of craddling with my hand, then she reject liao...

Irin,
Yes! Then she will wake me up early the next morning... around 7am if she sleeps early like today. But hor, nowsaday I always give her water first. Found that she actually can nearly finish her bottle of milk at one go if I give water first. If I give milk straight away, she can drink 20ml and stop for 10- 15 mins, drink another 20ml stop and rest for another 15 mins, drink another... so on and so forth.

.
anyway i think Rae drinking way too much milk now, no wonder she became so heavy nowadays.. apart from her 2 main solid ( no breakfast and no snacks at other time), she drinks milk at 7:30am, 10:30am, 1pm (she needs to drink some milk in order to nap), 3pm, 8pm and once at 3am and maybe once at 5am ( she still wakes once sumtimes twice, then i lazy, i will let her suckle and she goes back to sleep). i have started to drop the 10:30am feed since 1 week ago, tried to give her some bfast, but she like not veryt interested lor.. and lately i find that she is not too keen on her 3pm feed leh. just chin cai chin cai drink a bit then dun want liao. maybe i should drp this 3pm milk feed altogether.

autum,
oh, ya hor. Why didn't I think of that? Else they might get confused also and next time when they see me cook, they'll throw nuts & bolts into my pans.
Mejo,
she ate alot for her dinner? Cos 5+ dinner till next morning 7am seems a long time leh.
starfruit,
yup, to bring soup out. You have the thermal cooker? Is it useful? Thought of getting that too but not sure whether I'll under-utilise it or not.

Irin,
Hmm, guess she ate alot bah. Cuz MIL likes to give her one big bowl of food. But hor, we started giving her a lot of solid only becuz she rejects milk. She prefers solids over milk. It is not because too much solids then dun want milk. She already din want milk in the first place! However, she used to at least take a bit at night. 40 ml also I song but now, not even a drop.

starfruit,
wow, Rae still taking so many milk feeds? But how much is the quantity each time? Cos can't really see based on the number of feeds, must see the daily quantity also, right?
Though RR drinking 2 feeds per day but total around 440 - 480ml.
But from the way you put it seems like you can drop the 3pm then slowly the 1030am as well.
pax,
just to check, I'm abit lost with the thermal & thermos. Why can't you cook the soup before you go out, put it in thermal cooker & bring it out?

mejo: hey! i was waiting for someone to say that in case i sound like a weirdo! yes! i oso feed seth water first before food..somehow i realise he eats better when he drinks enough water liao. but the normal thinkin is, if drink water liao will be too full to eat... somehow it dun work this way!
pax/star: wah..i love the flask moogen has!! the snap lid is so cool and handy! i was complaining abt my lousy flask dat i've gotta unscrew and open with 1 hand! moogen's hb almost sold his to me after hearing how much she paid for it! ;p
star/astro: the walker handle has 2 height oni.. the lowest and the highest. i love it! seth loves it too! he can push it around pretty well .. but now i'm tryin to teach him to change directions... heh. 1 thing abt the adjustable speed hor.. is that thou it slows down, but if bb is forceful, it still slides across the floor..slides as in diff fr roll. but once they learn to control, quite easy to handle. seriously.. i highly recommend! heh! n seth loves the music it plays too!

autum: def comfort sucking but i know she is drinking milk as well cos i get the letdown effect, i think she easily drink at least 60ml during that feed. she very standrd one will wak up at about 2plus then sumtimes another time at about 5am.. tried to encourage her to sleep thru by feeding her more in the day but not successful leh.
Star,
But YT at 2 months old already like want to drop her milk feeds man! Sigh. No choice leh, she don't like milk. She dun even like her drinks flavoured. Plain water is her favourite. Everything else is ewww to her. Even the nice super expensive drinkable yoghurt I bought for her. I end up drinking most of it myself until I found that I can add to her cereals.

i'm a lazy mom.. these days no energy to wake up at 5-6am to prepare to go out. the thermal cooker has a inner pot. boil the soup for 10min and put the inner pot into the thermal pot. close and it self brews by convection. then in the morning, i'll scoop the hot soup into a thermos to bring out. tired of lugging the thermal cooker out. it's not small..

starfruit,
or maybe like what YY suggested, drop the midnight feeds 1st?
But YY, some babies once wake up in the middle of night, need to have milk before they go back to sleep leh. That was what Reyden used to do.
Mejo,
at least she's taking more solids so not so bad bah.

Think it helps to get rid of any bad taste in their mouth and moisten their tongues first? Especially if it is first thing in the morning?
Star,
Think you got to be a bit more hardworking liao. Feed her water? I got YT to drop middle of the night feeds like that. She slept through by 4 months and hardly ever wake up for milk in the middle of night liao. Cuz by then I'm working full-time so really cannot handle her waking up at two three am wanting to drink milk. Even though I'm still breastfeeding then but wah, cannot handle.

irin: ya she drinks very little at each feed, i ahve started to drop the 10:30am feed liao.. then i give her some cheerios or bread for bfast, so far so good for the past 1 week. she drinks from one side of my breast before her 1pm nap, thats why when she wakes at 3pm, she dun drink much. but i am reluctant to drop that 3pm feed leh.
the thermal pot a bit bulky to bring out lah, much more diff to handle as compared to a 300ml or 500ml cap food jar. the thermal jar is 1L. I am using the thermal jar every nite now, to cook soup for hubby and me, not for baby though.

Star,
for BF, i think it's hard to drop feed or adjust feed. that's my personal view la. cos firstly u will never be sure how much the baby drinks. thus u can't add or subtract the quantity. but perhaps u can shorten the suckling time? so that each time she drinks less?
for EJ's case, cos he bottle-fed since long ago.. so i could try to add more and more milk to his before-sleep feed so that eventually he can sleep through the nite without need for feeding.
