Meredith had her 1st semi solid food today.
Dunno whether did I put too much FM. Trying to add BM, but only abit, so gave up and change to FM.
Her face chao chao when she first ate, but wanted more. Then she still playing and blowing bubbles.
Tomorrow going to try again.

hisstory
he used to be very very fussy in car seat too. but surprisingly became A LOT better after nap training. i tink he learnt how to self-soothe. so it's become less traumatic for him to be alone in the seat. now, he's seems to enjoy the seat mostly. i have some seat toys for him too. if it's nap time, i'll cover him up and he'll nap in the seat. so i'm very happy to drive around with him now.
krex
my fren who has 2 kids told me that most kids will start 3 meals @ abt 8mths old. but i tink it's really child dependent. some kids start earlier, some later. 5 tablespoons of cereal or 5 cubes of puree is about 1 full meal. so if he's still hungry after that amt...can start another meal. might start ethan on 3rd meal if he can finish 5 cubes of puree for 2nd meal. now, he's taking 4 cubes for 2nd meal.
NiNi
yeah...like wat hisstory said, there are gd and bad days. but personally, i love being SAHM. i love being able to see and experience all of ethan's 1st times. i never want to go back to work. haha... that aside, i feel that it's person dependent also..so should go for whichever you feel is the best arrangement for yourself and your family. some FTWMs do such great jobs balancing work & family too!

wah...shiok!!!! sleep is SOOOOO good!! haha...
actually, if she sleeps thru already, if she wakes up tonight...then you can actually ignore if you're comfortable with that. ethan took 1 night of ignoring (1.5hr) to sleep thru. heehee... ur ashley learns fast too! so maybe needs less than ethan...

timminbuzz,
i realise yu ze also like that now. i just keep quiet and ignore him during the ride. he will not fuss or not too much. the moment, i talk to him, he will fuss a lot and cry almost want to tear down the place.
now he also develop a bad habit of screaming very loudly and cry to get attention. his cry is those very poor thing kind of cry, the moment you carry him. he stop immediately. i'm going to do something about this now. still thinking how i should tackle this problem.
hisstory,
now, i make yu ze sleep at 8pm instead of 9pm. hahah.... then i got more me time in the night.

i tink they've learnt that their fussing & crying gets our attention. but if we ignore...then they realise that it's not working...so don't waste the efforts of crying! haha...
mine also cry to get attn...very sad kind also. and opens his arms to me somemore. a lot of times, i just ignore him. and he'll actually stop! and starts playing with his toys on his own. then i'll give him attn when he's quiet. so hopefully it'll give him the idea that crying is not that effective afterall. haha...
i put ethan down to bed by 7.30pm. haha...i always look forward to the ME TIME every evening.

like tt huh? Okieokie i shall test tmrw.. hahah! I know she hates car rides at night. Think it's too dark in the car, actually she just doesnt like dark places, except the bedroom
I dunno whether to start weaning her off the night feed, coz i thought if she just sleeps thru for a couple more nights, then it means she's ready.. Coz at the moment, with total latch-on, i really am wondering if she takes in enough leh
<font color="#CD3278">celyn</font>
I wld love to have more me-time too.. hehheh!
But hb gets to my parents' place to pick us up ard 7pm, then have dinner & travel back, so agaragar gao dim everything by 830 & then she takes awhile to sleep.. So shd be done by 9pm?
Last night was special.. hahhah, coz it's Sat so we go gaigai a little longer.. Also gd we returned home abit later, the neighbouring blk's void deck has country song competition

oh ok...ethan never had car rides home @ night. cos he's usually sleeping in his room already. haha.. or half asleep when we pick him up from in-laws'.
i'm also with total latch-on with ethan. he's been sleeping 7-7 since 13weeks. it seems that they'll increase day intake if having growth spurt, so no need night feed as long as they slept thru on their own before. and it is kinda true with ethan.

timminbuzz,
yu ze also. once i walk in to see him, he will 'crawl' towards me with his arms open for me to carry. i will just stuff pacifier to him and walk off. sometimes, he will stop. sometimes, he won't. but hubby sure to carry him if he sees it. sigh....
hisstory,
8pm is the earliest i can go liao cos by the time we fetch him and reach home, its near 8pm liao. then we feed him medicine and milk at 8pm. once he finished his milk, he will flip to tummy and sleep liao.

hisstory/timminbuzz: agree with timminbuzz.. Actually by 6 months old they are ready to wean off night feed. I observed Braiden's pattern cos he tend to wake up at odd hours like 3am, 4am those kind n when i did nurse him.. It's like 5mins then he drift back to sleep. It is more of a habit.. wake up got neh neh..
However i am concerned about letting them CIO and the issue on "separation anixety".. I mean if the bb have separation anxiety..then we totally ignore them, this is another profound question. i need advice! haha im such a paranoid mommy
