kitsune_sg, this morning i prepared 2 oz and she drank half oz of isomil, rejecting the remainder. But its an improvement, at least she's not allergic to it nor reject it totally.
After so many monhs of being stressed over bf, I feel so relieved that I am not the sole milk source. Hooray to formula milk!

Manuka, when confirmed will post here again. Still got a few weeks more, really not sure if I need to be there the whole day cos another colleague has been scheduled to work and his name is on the roster for 11 & !2 Oct, not mine. Just taken over the project, not sure at this point in time also. 
prata queen, that's good. Since isomil is soy base, not likely to cause allergy. Haha, it's good that you are happy with the decision to introduce FM.
For me, I start introducing FM as my MIL's constant reminder so the transition was not as smooth cos I still feel guilty for my low ss.

prata_queen,
I laughed when I read your "hooray to formula milk". Bc that was how I felt when I finally stopped expressing Milk and give my son to formula. LOL Not that I am a lousy mum, but I think it's time for me to move on.
It takes time for baby to switch from BM to FM. It's great to know that your darling is ok with isomil. =) Slowly ah.
Pixel,
U got mail! =)

thanks for words of encouragement gals.
It is really a relief. Undescribable. I considered for about a week, battling with sudden & super low milk supply due to my flu and cough. Felt sad at certain points esp when I nurse baby, I'll be thinking to myself that this might be one of the last few times. But I really cannot produce enuf for her - xin you yu er li bu zu. So after abt a week of consideration and changing of my mind, I finally decided to intro the sample tin of milk. Who knows, it led to her averse reaction.
Its really time for me to move on to and not be preoccupied everyday with drinking more fluids just to produce enuf milk and feeling depressed when I can't.

Hi prata_queen,
Don't be too hard on yourself. I myself gone thru what u have been thru. In fact, i think I was soo absorbed in expressing milk that my hb was worried that I have post natal depression. Anyway, we have done what we can. Give yourself a big pat on the shoulders for providing the best u can give to your darling ok =)
Hi piglet,

AhCapp, yeah, it can become quite an obsession. Once, I screamed at my hubby when he forgot to put my ebm in the fridge immediately after I expressed. And I always warn him not to topple or break my glass bottles of ebm.
Update on isomil: Gave my gal 1 oz of isomil when she was hungry and she finished all of it although she had a "what is this liquid" expression. Hubby and I watched in fear to see if she turned red. Thankfully, all is fine.
re isetan private sale
Nothing much to buy for babies cos wat needs to be bought has been bought. Now month-end closing so quite impossible to take leave to go for sale haiz.

Prata_queen,
Oh, me too leh! I was so absorbed in expressing milk that if my hb were to come disturb me, I will snap at him. Poor hb! LOL
Slowly with the intro of FM. =) My son took a bit of time, but he is now fully on FM. So nothing is impossible. Btw, my son used to have that "what is this liquid" look on his face before. LOL. =)

Me, I love making food for baby, don't you remember
Do you mean recipe for baby food? If so, yes, I will be experimenting with lotsa interesting recipes from the Annabel Karmel's book. Just bought the book a couple of weeks ago, new reading through it. In terms of making solid food for first stage, ie, the first 2 months of introducing solid, Annabel's is pretty much the same as the First Food book. But for the so-called 2nd stage food, Annabel's one is so much more interesting, lots of variety. Will share with you later if you are interested.
If you are talking about making food for the family, then sorry, I don't have any recipe to share. I usually just stir fry, stir fry and stir fry, plus 1 cantonese style food, and occasially stew, all simple and easy food.

MomMe,
I have introduced lumpy food and even finger food for my baby to try out. He is okay with both. When you first introduce lumpy food, make sure don't give too big the lump, and see how well he can manage, and only try on soft food, like avocado, banana etc. My son will puke the food out it's too big for him.

Steph,
He didn't like the porridge bah..... taste and texture. For taste, can try to add some puree to enhance the taste. For texture, can try to add more water to make it smoother?
Generally babies like rusk/biscut as this is something they can put into their mouth without mummy says no.

Anyway, I've tried carrots and 'heng cai' (a type of spinach?)in his porridge so far....

i only fed her 1 meal of porridge a day, cos there's once i cook for 2 meal and the 2nd time she doesnt want to eat already. Maybe same porridge so she sick of it. haha. i only add the fish tats all, no sauce. My mum also warn me not to put any sauce. Other then porridge she still continue her 3 hourly milk and some biscuits.
This saturday will be bringing her for the 9month old checkup.
Wonder how much she grow. hehe

haha..at least ur mum says not to put any sauce..my MIL thinking not the same..I mentioned dun add a few times alr..I can only hope that she will not secretly do it without me knowing!
Yeh, so far I'm also trying to feed one meal only..the other meal I give my son cereal and his normal milk feedings.
Did u try to weigh your daughter?

hammies,
can cook porridge with combination of fish/chicken/pork and 1 or 2 vege (carrot, pumpkin, spanish, celery, brocolli, etc). No need to ask sause. If your baby don't like it, try it later, adding sauce won't make any different. If still don't like porridge, can give him puree.
I give my boy 3 feeds of solid (cereal or porridge) everyday, plus 3 feeds of milk feed, alternating solid and milk. Once your baby is taking solid well, can slowly introduce more feeds of solid, as long as you can still maintain his milk intake at 500-600ml per day.

Hey Kam, when you say cook with fish/chicken/pork, so you let him eat the meat as well right? Then how do u slot in the milk feeds? Let's say he ate at 12noon, then wat time he drink milk and how much?
I've been wanting to find out how much milk intake in total should 8mths onwards babies be drinking? Wonder if I shd call up the milk company...

hammies,
yes, let him eat the fish/chicken/pork as well, as long as you have break it down to small pieces. Porridge is to replace a milk feed, if baby can take in 1 bowl or whatever sufficient to fill his stomach. Say 12noon have porridge, then 3pm have milk, then 6pm have porridge or cereal, then milk for night feed before bed.
According to the books and websites that I read, once introduce solid, should still keep milk intakes at 500-600ml. That depends of how much your baby was drinking before intro solid.
