Yes, my PD also mentioned minimum is 600ml. But to grow, baby should drink 800ml-1000ml per day
My boy's weight has been consistent, so she suggested that I should increase his milk intalk by another bottle (180ml). Also donno how to squeeze in another bottle as his schedule as below:
5.30am - Milk
9am - Milk
12 noon- Porridge
3pm - Milk
6-7pm - Porridge/Cereal
9-10pm - Milk
He takes 180ml per feed and will zzz around 9-10pm liao

medusa,
i also run errands during lunchtime, last time is to go bank/post office/buy clothes etc... now is shopping for baby stuffs and fresh fruits/vege for cayla... hardly enough time cos mine is exactly one hour only
cat,
you are welcome, me also lost about the ingredients inside the milk... yup, important component like DHA and AA must be high high???
re: milk intake
7am - 180ml BM
11am - porridge
3pm - 180ml BM
7pm - cereals + 60ml milk mixed together
11pm - 240ml FM
cayla only gained 1kg in 4 months but the KKH doc say she is 50% percentile and her growth rate should be much slower now than last time... will go The Kid's Clinic for jab and review again...

Mummies I hope to get your opinion:
If you are SAHM like me, offered a job that u always want to try,(u have no experience in that), work for 3-4 hrs per day. flexible timing, for example 6pm-9pm or 4.30-8.30pm up to u,
working place is only 10 -15 WALK ,very near your place. but salary is LOW, basic is low, less than $9 per hr, commision can be good if u can sell. (ok its a sales job).
will u take the offer?
truly need your opinion. thanks mummies

Hashisan,
I would consider the job if I really like it. But is there someone to look after your kids while you are away? Work not only gives you some financial independence but also widens your views when you talk to others besides just your kids and your HB. Most imptly, can get out of the house for a while ! =)

re:milk intake those volumes are only recommended guidelines not the be all and end all. Not necessary to stress ourselves out if our babies don't hit the target volume. If that was the case we'll never have a moment's peace in our lives. Anyway babies who are latching you won't know if they have hit target or not. As long as our babies are happy, growing well and putting on the appropriate weight we can't be doing wrong can we?
But if babies are rejecting their milk feeds because they're now on solids there are other ways of upping their milk intake besides solely drinking from the bottle as I have discovered with my son. For example for porridge I will cook rice in FM instead of water or poach fish in FM and if the mixture is too thick I'll thin it with EBM. Sometimes I'll give milk based snacks if he appears hungry between meals. I think it is not so much milk itself but what it contains that is important. And what it contains can come in other forms besides liquid. But that's just my opinion.

hashisan,
if you can adjust the timing with your family then it's ok. But the timing is around dinner time so not sure if you are able to get away from there. also what about bedtime for the kids ?

ya thats alot of carriers. i got 2 and hb already make noise. hahaha. Then again, i have 2 carriers, 2 slings, 2 prams .. but only 1 baby. hahaha
re: milk intake
i dont want to stress myself over the amt she drinks cos i know for sure bernice doesn't hit the 600ml mark. not to mention 800-1000ml. I get always worried that she drinks too little.. But As long as the PD says she is healthy I think that is most impt.
