Hello mummies!
Ai yoh finally got a chance to log in to the forum! Hope everybody is well! I have been so busy adjusting to working life, and packing all my things for the big move (which is tomorrow).
Re spinach,
Alot of old folks say spinach is good...but I read that spinach should be avoided or given in small quantities till baby turns 1 year old coz of high level of nitrates. Here's what I found on the internet:
http://www.nncc.org/Nutrition/make.babyf...
"Beets and spinach have high concentrations of naturally-occurring nitrates which can reduce the ability of the baby's hemoglobin to transport oxygen. Use these foods in moderation or not at all until the baby reaches his or her first birthday."
http://www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/ht...
"High-nitrate vegetables, such as beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, collard greens, lettuce, spinach and turnips, should not be fed to babies in large quantities. The naturally occurring nitrates in these vegetables can change to nitrites, which bind iron in the blood and make it difficult to carry oxygen. This can make it hard to breathe and cause the skin to become blue. Limit the serving size of these vegetables to one to two tablespoons per feeding."
Phoebe,
Fyi Jade also started waking up at 4-5+ in the morning hungry nowadays. Think she's going through a growth spurt. Most babies have growth spurt at 6 months, if they have previously been sleeping through without a feed and suddenly wake up hungry, then its most likely a growth spurt. During growth spurts, we should increase their intake during the day for all feeds. The most impt feeds to increase first are the 1st feed of the day, and the last feed before they go to sleep. I read its better to start baby on solids by 6 months, coz milk cannot satisfy their appetites anymore. Sometimes Jade still wakes up in the middle of the night, I try to settle her with water first or if she still won't go back to sleep I give her 2 oz of milk instead of giving her a full feed so that I don't encourage her to wake up at that time. Then when she wakes up at 7am I give her a full feed of milk, plus her breakfast cereals/puree. Sometimes she won't want to finish her milk lor but can still eat alot of solids. I think I read somewhere that milk is easily digested so baby tends to feel hungry after a while, whereas solids will keep baby full longer so once you introduce solids, most babies will be able to sleep longer through the night.

Morning mommies, i am starting to cut back on pumping liao, getting tired already, seem like i cannot cope with pumping, work and taking care of baby when i get home liao and also not counting the things i want to enjoy myself liao. but at the same time feeling very sad she will be missing out on the nutrients liao.
dilemma! many a times i missed the bedtime pump cos i already fall asleep....this morning already missed the breakfast pump cos i already wake up late for work... wish my HB can handle night feed himself and give me a good night rest but he cant handle liao...

pumping is indeed really hard work. i am pumping 2 to 3 times at work. imagine the time taken out of my working time! good thing my work can arrange appt kind but feel very pai seh walking to sink to wash the pump a few times everyday. and of course the pumping time 'eats' into working hours too. but i remember reading somewhere that we don't have to feel guilty not giving BM if we can't. if you can have better rest, you can play with your bb better and look after bb better too! so that makes up for it!

Amy, At first he alway stuck at 150ml but always cannot finish. so my sis suggested that maybe he not hungry enough so always dun wan to finish his milk. and i tell u ryann dun wan milk is use scream one hor.. Ask Pinkyj, she seen my ryann almost tear down orchard road before.
So i try to drag the timing but feed more. Make him hungry then feed more gradually. Then drag to 4 hrly but 170ml then increase to 180ml.
my ss also will drop but will come bk.. have enuff rest and drink more water.
ytd i tried to increase last feed but have to use 25 min to make him finish his 210ml. he still in the middle of the night still scream leh.. but still slping la.. so dunno why these few days always like tat.. cry during slp.IS it Teething???
Agree with Voice,we should move on. Dont waste our time on this kind of people. maybe now she very happy to get all the publicity leh? Very high possibility she is reading our post now!

yoki,ecookie,
my PD taught me the tripod sitting position to build the strength of the spine. Isaac will at most hold the position for 5mins, head will start to drop and body roll to the side. If not, will attempt to crawl forward but body too heavy + legs kena stuck, then 'ark ark ark'. LOL!
So everyday will train him during his play time. Now when on stroller or car seat, he likes to lean forward trying to sit upright.

re: sitting position
i always tell myself if she's tired of sitting, she'll just tumble herself to the pillows behind her hehe. don't you girls think the babies look so cute sitting down? and then they give one kind of look as if theyre old enough to do everything adults can do, only to sway to the side and kiss the floor keke.

fitty_nut can explain more on the tripod way of sitting.. my boy always fall forward despite me making a pillow mountain behind him for him to lean on.
he will push himself up and then only to fall forward! lol.. he hasnt learn to support himself with his hands when he leans forward when sitting

Hi mommies,
Anyone goes to Bishan Pediatric Centre - Dr Oh Meng Choo? Was with her for long time, now that she has left, not sure still want to go back there. Anyone has recommendation for evening PD clinic around Bishan/AMK or Hougang area?
