hi mummies, didn't log on for soooooo long. i was a very grouchy mummy this week. cos my mum/dad/husband/bbsitter have been feeding my bb nonsense even though i've always insisted time and again that the baby had to follow the one-new-food-per-three-day thing. they know i'm very cautious abt weaning, as i don't want the eczema on his face to get worse. so they'll feed him on the sly.
on wed, my husband was waving an ice cream in front of bb when the hyperactive little one pounced on the ice cream. then my mum had the bad sense to feed him potatos that night (potatos that came from the adult's soup -- nonsalted, they insisted, but stilL!). obviously he developed allergic reactions (ie sore eyes) after that.
my bb is so allergic that he's developed a bad reaction to dumex rice cereal and watermelon, and a moderately bad reaction to mango and the potato above. they've also let him play with bread before. so far, only banana and nestle rice cereal sits well on his palatte. i can't believe that he's eaten so much nonsense in short life, and he's only turning 6 mths in two days time!
that's not the worse thing. after i blew my top with them on wed, my mum and bbsitter decided (i was not informed again) that they would feed my bb rice + kailan + carrot + potato that was all ground together. they fed him twice before i reaeched home and of course, i had to flare up at them again. he had mild sore eyes last night for a few hours, what else!

my mum is always discussing with my mil that my baby has to eat his solids soonest, cos "he's small", "he's weak", "stopped gaining weight" etc ....(my mil ever attempted to feed him ground brown rice whe he was 4mth plus, she even told me that she wanted to add honey to make it palatable, faint!)
nobody can understand that the bb stopped gaining weight cos he's just hyperactive and developing too fast. i mean, he has been able to crawl really well from a couple of weeks ago, and is learning to sit himself up from a crawling position these few days. yet, all that the both grandmas can complain abt is how weak and small he looks! hiyah!
i'm a very happy person by nature, but everyone else's behavious over the past few days just caused me to lose my cool..

ciarie, don't be sad... the weight is only one aspect of the bb's well-being. as for me, my bb hasn't even reached 7kg yet at 5.5mths (he was born at 3.4kg), but i seriously can't care less. i think next time when i bring him for those mandatory weigh-ins at the PD, i shall not tell my mum and mil his weight!
seriously, all our bb will just grow up normally despite being a few kilos short or/and a few hundred grams lighter than their peers.

Hi Fen,
I give you priorty if I really decided to change milk powder for YX. My friend commented it could be due to the sweetness of Frisocreme and I agree. It's really sweet and YX behaves like a monster 1 day after I gave him Frisocreme. I've decided to stop giving him that and will switch to Healthy Time organic brown rice cereal tomorrow to try. No more sweetness for him!

min, worse thing is that both my mum and bbsitter are not really the "old generation" type. both are 46 years old and my mum's pretty hip. i really like the both of them, so i hope they'll have gotten my point.
yah, my PD only gave the go ahead for solids at 5mth. he didnt give the go ahead for all other food. anyway i'll be changing PD, quite sad that this one's going private. kaizer always have a lot of fun when he visits him.

I will be v angry too if I was in your position. Btw, now that you mentioned about the eczema, now then I think perhaps Gladys may have reacted to apple/ sweet potato! She's got a tiny itch spot on her face but I always thought that she may have scratched her face. Aiya, me silly mummy. How now?!

Sandwich : Don't be angry lah. My mother in law is also like that. She let my baby tasted a lot of things so far, even gave her soup that is meant for adult. Yesterday she tried to give orange + apple + celery juice but was stopped by my husband. I don't understand how come she can just feed her anything without even informing us. We were just having breakfast in the kitchen, very hard to tell us meh?? I don't even dare to think what she gave her when we were not around...
Tato/Gene : Maybe really should let Glynnis try different brand of breastmilk... Hee...
Kris : Wanna do some exchange?? Haa...
Finally its weekend... Tomorrow Glynnis is going for her jab. Hopefully no fever and we can go out and celebrate daddy's birthday together.

sandwich, hang in there! i know how difficult it can be! my mil also like that! claire is less than 6kg so she keeps asking me 'her weight ok hor'? i just 'umm' and go and do other things. every time i latch claire on, she'll also comment 'aiya, why she drink for such a short while only' - very frustrating... good thing is she don't look after for me every day (only once or twice a month when i absolutely need to go office) so she don't have that many chances to feed claire funny things - y'day i left claire with her for 4 hrs... and she gave claire MELON!
meetup next friday, 12/10
so how? who is on? we can either have lunch or high tea?

dreamygal, kelley, sandwich, min...
kaemon's weighing 7.110kg now @ 5months...
PD din say anything critical, bt just wish to see kaemon putting on more weight when she sees him next round.
i was thking to start him on frisocrem. but having see some comments abt frisocrem is sweet.. think i better stick to my brown rice cereal....
pd commented to start spoon feeding cereal and no mixing of cereal into milk for bottle feed.
although it stays in tummy longer, it is bad for his digestive system....
take note of this, mummy....

hello...
im back from the PD. My girl is asleep now after the jabs. Keeping my fingers cross that she will be fine, without fever.
My girl is 7kg now, turning 6 months next week. PD says shes average. But comparing with other babies,she seems light is it? From the graph chart, she's on 50 percentile. I dont understand wat does it means. Anyone can enlighten?

7.11kg at 5mths is higher than 50percentile. it's somewhere in between 50-75%. u dun have to worry leh. if she's 7.25kg at 6mths she's exactly 50percentile. i dun think she'll have any probs gaining 140gms in 1mth. i enlarged the percentile curves really really big so can see clearly and am tracking my girl's growth closely so i'm qt sure. your dr's wrong in saying that she's in 25%ile. unless he's looking at another chart from ang moh's perspective. the one i enlarged is based on singapore bbies in the bb healthbook.

i think 50percentile means out of 100 babies the weight of your bb is right in the middle.
my girl is still rejecting milk.
can only feed her when she's about to go to sleep or in her sleep. even then she takes a range of 25mls to 125mls totalling to abt 500mls per day. scary huh? but she seems to gain weight ok. touch wood! but she's simply refuses to eat any semi solids even banana which i thought was every bb's favorite.

i tink u can start on plain porridge wif brocoli or potato 1st, all can cook in slow cooker. for ikan bilis, u can either boil the soup den use the soup to cook porridge or grind the ikan bilis in to powder den add into the porridge.
