baby solids:
i find that Ruth doesn't quite like totally mushy stuff now. She loves chewing and munching and her expressions are so classic.
As such, we decided to keep it simple and just use fork/spoon to mash her food.
For porridge, someone asked. My mum will wash the rice first, drain the water and leave the (uncooked) rice in the pot. Half an hour b4 feeding, she will just cook and put in all the ingredients. so far it's mostly fish porridge.
She'll also add like a drop of soy sauce for taste.
Between 2 households, Ruth takes 3 types of cereal. Haha. Dumex, Healthy Times Brown Rice and Heinz. She seems ok with all of them.
Ruth's Progress:
Same as Ashlynn, Ruth will turn 6 months on Friday. She's flipped finally about 2 weeks back and have recently been dragging her tummy abit - looks like want to crawl and move. Very cute to see her do that.
WE've successfully let her SLEEP IN HER COT but in our room at night. For the past 5 nights, I'll carry and sing to her for about 5-10minutes. Then just as she closes her eyes but not yet deep sleep, i'll tell her i'm putting her down n etc. She'll stretch when i put her down and i'll stuff a pillow for her to hug. Mostly, she will turn to her side and hug the pillow to sleep.
Once in awhile she'll wake up and scream - think nightmare. But carry her, shush her and she'll go back to sleep and i'll put her down again. She sleeps till 5.30/6/6.30am mostly and wakes up for one feed, and then it's back to bed again till about 7.30/8.
Works for daytime naps too.
Ruth have been taking some cheese nowadays. Up to half a slice of Kraft cheese. Drinking Ribena too - very diluted solution but she loves it.
WEANING:
I've weaned her off myself. No more breastfeeding at all for the past 1 week. I was initially very worried about weaning but it has been so smooth i didn't even realize it. I'm so thankful. I guess a big part of the worry was thatshe would not be able to sleep without latching.
Actually the main reason i stopped was twofold - milk supply dwindling badly, and ruth has been mercilessly biting and it hurts like hell so I decided to end it.
SPREES:
Xiaoyun, sorry tonight will transfer u $0.30. Token left at home.
Artemis,
Wil transfer u tonight too.

bx...breast feels soft soft...like nothin inside..so i didn't bother. during bathing, i will check and try to hand express to see if anything. mostly just a few drops and nothing much.
i guess the 'time' has really come.
in all honesty, i miss feeding her. but my fear of her teeth is too much - i keep moving my breast away when i tried to feed her the las few times...cuz kana bite a few times DAMN painful.
So no choice, decided to stop.

erm...me not the one cooking the porridge somemore!! It's my mum cooking!!
if i am SAHM, maybe i will. but FTWM....after work nowadays go home after dinner at my parents already very late....say about 7+/8. Ruth sleeps about 9ish nowadays, so only have time to bath, sing n play abit with her, give her one milk feed and put her to bed.
where got time to puree and cook porridge....no piont also...since my mum will do whatever she wants to do.
I take it as win-win situation. My mum gets to 'exercise' her authority and creativity, I get to relac-one-corner. We don't get into each other's way. Everyone's happier.

Iso..yah I feel proud to be able to cook for baby too. I'm a traditionalist.
Since I can't cook for baby on weekdays, weekends I try to.
Last Sat i spent half an hour cooking porridge for baby..he ate 5 spoons, then yelled to sleep. So wasted the porridge. I 'complained' to my hubby, and he says it is a mother's predicament. So true...coz mothers will be in this predicament whether her son is 1 year old or 20 years old...spent hardwork cooking already then dun eat!

Garfield,
me. I will sure b bf at least until channet is a yr old. hopefully, can bf until she is 7yrs old. A bit crazy. Hahaha. Now I only give her FM at night so tt I can have a gooood night sleep til 7am.
tongtong,
not easy to settle in as SAHM. it takes me 2 months to b independent. n handle my bb alone.
puree food:
Dun start broccoli at 6mths. give bb broccoli when they are 8 to 9 months. Broccoli is known to prior to create colic.
To make puree, can use a small sievers to mash the food.
Teething,
My bb is teething soon cos she bites when I latch on.
Artemis,
I dun rem I order only one item for healthy times. Pls check again.
