skye - is eliza feeding better?
for kaira -- she's getting better!
initially started her off with the rice cereal, barley cereal -- both she doesn't really like ... eat a bit then don't want liao.
then tried the EYS Si Shen brown rice powder -- slightly better response.
then when started to introduce the veg and fruits -- she liked liao!
i started feeding her the solids after her mid morning milk feeding (her milk feed is ard 1030-11am). so solid feeding is ard 12pm. and small amounts.
initially, i also had problem with her "crankiness" and "sleepiness" cos my mum wanted me to wait at least 1 hr after her milk feed. so timing for the solid feeding varies and yep, was kind of difficult... i juz feed her then if she gets cranky i stopped. so the amt that she takes can be very little.
but after abt 1-1.5 weeks of trying to stick to around the same time, she seems to "know" when to expect the solids. and she "reduced" her milk feed automatically for the feed before the solid (this happened after i introduced the veg/fruit puree). she suddenly took 2/3s of her normal feed and simply refused to finish her milk. so maybe that's her way of regulating her intake.
but i realise for kaira's case ... the solid feed doesn't replace one milk feed ... in fact it becomes another meal ;p juz that the milk feed before that is reduced. i also dunno how to replace one milk feed.
for evening i only give her fruit puree like dessert... dunno when to introduce the evening meal to her... cos i oso scared of overfeeding her...
