Hi Chatty, thanks. I've sent you an email.
Mel/Jete,
i, too missed pre-baby days! yesterday, i only went out for mani/pedi for 2 hours, jaeden cried for 2 hours! *faint* I came home, hear him cry till sniffle sniffle, heart pain.
I'm gonna have to skip my coming graduation ceremony because of this. Imagine i'll be out for 4 hours and he'll be pitifully crying out for me for 4 hours.

Mel,
Jaeden is total latch-on since 2nd month. I totally have no idea how much he is taking now.
I think its up to Mathias to decide how much he wants to eat. if he doesn't want, also hard to force feed him. He is at a rather good weight.
Believe me, if u were SAHM like me, totally taking care of Mathias by yourself, you would rather he weighs lighter..
regarding porridge, i don't believe eating porridge will make the flesh tougher. Jaeden's flesh is tough from drinking BM only.
Yesterday my manicurist was giving me a recipe on having kids with firm flesh. She has 2 kids, 3 and 4 years old. She told me to make beef stew with brown rice, carrots and i think got potatoes also. give them once a week. Her PD taught her this recipe.

Gold_Piggy: U're welcome : ). I've replied u.
an_gal: U're welcome : )
Zhuzhu: James also skin and bones, and he's been on partial EBM all along...maybe its genetics or maybe I'm not feeding him enough? I notice babies who are TBF grow faster and seem to be physically stronger.
Jang: Doctor told me that baby will be firmer if he takes more protein and good cholesterol. The stew you mentioned has meat, hence, lots of protein and cholesterol, I guess. Doctor recommended starting baby on egg yolk for protein and cholesterol, and we've been hardboiling egg and mashing a bit of the egg yolk up and mixing it with rice cereal, for the past week. We do not give egg white, as this can cause allergies.

Loh,
no problems latching on. i just carry the top part of the baby then let the rest of his body rest on my thunder thighs. another position is body lying on the bed side by side, my arm slide under his head to prop it up and den my legs on his legs like hugging a bolster..
Used to carrying 12kg.. muscles build up already.. that day gathering, i carried 7-8kg babies, i feel that they are weightless...

Pooh Astro, Lilyn, Jang, Goldpiggy: I just give a little bit (not even a quarter of a yolk). Can mix with anything. Egg yolk is ok, because its mainly protein. Egg white is what causes allergies and other problems. My aunt said to give egg (yolk or white? Not sure as I can't remember) before age one, I think, otherwise when baby goes for one compulsory vaccination (can't remember which one), you won't be able to tell doctor if baby is allergic to eggs or not. This is critical info because the vaccine is made from chickens. I can ask her for clarification later on.

Loh: U know more than me : ) Thanks for clarifying that its the albumin that causes allergy.
Goldpiggy: To ensure proper separation of yolk and white, hardboil the egg, then separate. If you try to separate while its is still liquid, some of the white may get into the yolk, so you don't want to risk that.
