Wendy,
K takes around less than 30mins to finish up the 120ml of FM. Ya, have to spoonfeed her leh. She doesn't drink from the bottle or sippy cup anymore. Only thing she is willing to drink from the sippy cup is plain water. This girl of mine loves plain water alot, likes to gulp it down. I always tease her by telling her no one is gonna snatch the water away from her. The FM is on a rotation basis. Example,
1st feed at 6+/7+am: Latch-on
9+/10+am: 120ml FM with Farley's rusks or Heinz's custard or Pigeon crackers
Lunch at 12+pm: Chicken/fish/pork porridge
2+pm: Cereal with 120ml of FM
5+/6+pm: Mee sua
8+pm: Cereal with 120ml of FM
10+pm: Latch-on
She wakes up every now and then in the middle of the night to latch on. I don't know whether she latches on for comfort or hunger. I think it's better to overfeed than underfeed. Anyway, babies are very smart. They will protest when they are full.
Eve,
Your nick looks very familiar. Are you by any chance the Eve who joined my BP?
Ling,
At least N is drinking 150ml, mine only 120ml wor. K doesn't like to eat all those tidbits. Hubby and I gave her choc, ice-cream, Pocky and yoghurt to taste taste, she always makes this "omg, it's so yucky till I wanna gag" face.
Sylvia,
You might want to consult Prof Hugo Van Bever of the Children's Specialist Clinic at NUH. He specializes in paediatric allergy, immunology and rheumatology. We ever brought K to consult him for her nose. She has this chronic blocked nose problem since she was about 1 month old. We went to 2 paediatricians but both of them just prescribed some nasal drops and brushed us off by saying it's a very common problem for infants. Very heartpain to see her breathing through her mouth because her nose is constantly blocked. Did some browsing and research on the net, finally decided to bring her to Prof Hugo one day. He asked us some questions about our health, whether we had childhood asthma or sinus blah blah. Did some physical checks on her and ran through a skin prick test to test for allergens. Turned out all negative, Prof Hugo diagnosed her case as having a small nose structure. Paid $90 for the consultation, excluding medication and test.
Krex,
Whereabouts in Thailand? I just came back from Bangkok with hubby, we were there from 8 - 11 June. Everything was normal there, hardly anybody wearing masks and not chaotic at all.
Mummies,
Like to know if anybody experiencing this? Kaitlyn started sleeping through the night since she was 10 weeks old. However since she was 6 months old, she had stopped sleeping through the night. Initially, she woke up once every night to latch on. Gradually, the frequency increases. Now she wakes up every night to latch on, frequency of every 2 hours or so. It is very demanding and tiring for me. Initially, I thought it was separation anxiety that's causing her to stop sleeping through the night. But now I'm just not that sure anymore. What causes her to stop sleeping through the night? Is it hunger or her seeking the comfort and familiarity? Could any mummies kindly enlighten me on this?
