happy belated birthday, happygal
<font size="+2">How much milk will my baby need if I pump breast milk for her?</font>
If you pump your breast milk for your baby, you can follow these guidelines to know how much she'll need:
Up until a month of age, most babies will take 2.5 to 3 ounces of breast milk in a bottle, feeding about eight times a day, for a total of 20 to 24 ounces in 24 hours. After that, the average amount of breast milk until 6 months of age is around 26 to 28 ounces per day, divided into six to eight feedings. If solids are started earlier than 6 months, the amount of breast milk a baby takes will decrease.
Keep in mind that these are just rough guidelines — by no means do you need to try to get your baby to eat 28 ounces each day if she doesn't want to. (If your baby is exclusively breastfed, she should take in at least 25 ounces a day, though.)
"Don't hold back if your baby still seems hungry," says lactation consultant Jan Barger, "but don't stuff your baby because you think there's a certain amount she should be getting."
<font color="0000ff">It's easy to overfeed a bottle-fed baby (with formula or breast milk), says Barger. </font>While a breastfed baby can comfort at the breast while getting just a minimal amount of milk, or drink just enough to quench her thirst, a bottle-fed baby doesn't easily have that option. <font color="0000ff">If your bottle-fed baby wants just a little milk, says Barger, she usually winds up getting much more because of how fast the bottle flows and the fact that it's hard for her to stop taking it.</font>
To help your baby get just the right amount of milk, feed her slowly and take little breaks to give her a chance to let you know when she's had enough. In fact, if your baby seems to be gulping the breast milk quickly, help her catch her breath by taking a break every ten sucks or so. This is especially important during the first couple of months, until she learns to pace herself.
<font color="0000ff">Most 7- to 11-month-old babies need a variety of solid foods two or three times a day, plus little snacks, along with four or five feedings of pumped breast milk a day. It's common for breastfed babies to decrease the amount of breast milk they take in as they increase their solid food intake.</font>
Once she reaches her first birthday, your baby can transition to whole cow's milk in a bottle or sippy cup. Keep in mind that <font color="0000ff">while cow's milk is good for her, you don't want to overdo it or you'll reduce her appetite for other healthy foods. In fact, too much cow's milk can lead to iron-deficiency anemia. Sixteen to 24 ounces a day should be just fine.</font>
And of course, you can continue to nurse past the first year if you and your child want to. Even though <font color="0000ff">your toddler will get most of her nutrition from solid food, breast milk still provides calories, valuable immunities, vitamins, and enzymes.</font>

boon, its personal choice. I give organic coz I wanna give him food with the most nutrient. nothing beats natural food.
btw can't let bb eat too often carrot or orangey food. anything overdose also no good...

i always use carrots though organic ones to cook cheryl's porridge as the stock. it is okay ? cuz you mention it's not wise to give them often. i know there might be an overdose of beta-carotene, but she is not taking the carrot physically. just the 'jing hua'.

hey mummies -
tristan has been phlegmy and coughing since 3 days ago and he's already been to see a PD. got rhinathiol, zyrtec, bricanyl and a nasal drop but it seems that his condition still sama sama though he still plays and feeds normally.
in adults, i guess we're more responsive to medication and get much better after 2-3 days. not sure if i should use the same gauge on a baby so wondering if anyone can share their experiences? i think a nebulizer would definitely make him feel better but not sure how to go about this....can we purchase nebulizers for babies? or do they need to go in to the PD for a nebulizing session regularly?
any advice?

bbheng, bb's cough generally takes longer to get well. abt 1 wk or 2. mine took 2wks+ if i rem correctly.
u can try sucking out his mucus if he sound congested when he breathes. my bb hates it tho.
not sure why the pd didnt prescribe nebuliser (maybe dun need). my boy had bronchitis, so he had to use nebuliser. we rented the machine home for $10 a day. then gotta purchase a tube n a mask.

my bb also took a long time to recover from cough/cold...could be up to 2 weeks before fully recover... if you think tristan did not show signs of improvement, u may want to bring him back to his pd.... someone taught me to give baby warm water if phlegmy...so now i always give my bb warm water and make her milk warmer even though she 's ok now.... she's been on nebuliser as well as rhinathiol, zyrtec and zenmolin before (in fact finished one whole bottle of zenmolin) but i still find that tui na is more effective for my bb...
hope tristan gets better soon!

good hor. both kids can share. I guess i have to have a second bb then can share food. The big bb at home dun eat anything that is soft soft mashy mashy type. So no choice i gotta eat the leftovers. hahahahah!
You mean your son is taking so much solid now? or r you referring to your girl? I tot you wanna delay solid food for your son as late as possible. Thats very good apetite that he has got.
. My son only takes 3 spoonsful of cereal n an apple in the afternoon cos I was advised to take it slow n delay solid food as much as possible.
I dun freeze the food yet so I dunno how many oz he is taking. I only prepare everytime he wanna eat. Is it ok now to measure his food intake?

i think u are mistaken. I started solid only when my son is 6.5mth. Dun think tat is consider early right? I had not started any porridge yet. Only cereal and puree.
Yes my son is take 2 cubes of the 2oz cube thus one cube is 2oz total isnt it 4 oz?
Yr son is taking FM. Better to start him more on solids as he needs the nutritions from the food. Anyway i am adjustign him to proper food timing as in breakfast, lunch n dinner and to send the msg to him tat for those meal time he has to hv solid food. This helps when next time i wan to start him on porridge. It will then be a routine for him and easier for him to adjust and know that tat is breakfast time, lunch time or dinner time. In between the meals he will hv his feed of milk 6oz.

oh is it not early ah? I dunno leh. First time mummy.
Ya, my son was on partial BF from the start lor. But was advised mus also delay solid food as much as possible lor. I read it somewhere that BF bb can delay solid til 8-9mths lor cos BF is more 'nutritious'. So its not really true? Maybe I blur blur get the wrong idea.
I think you know your own child the best. Jus go with the flow.
Good to hear that your boy is adjusting well to the food schedule n intake. I think I better learn from you more as you are a more experienced mummy. Thanks for your advice.
