Good morning mummies, seems like the thread is moving again, which is a good sign!
On breastfeeding
I'm still expressing once in the early afternoon, and latch on for K's night feed. He's on 3 meals (breakfast - cereal mixed with bm/formula, porridge for lunch & dinner). Tea break, he'll take 120ml of formula (pediasure), and ifc will soak bread in the milk and spoon feed.
Steph, you can try bread with milk. Also, try different types of formula. I tried enfa and was not successful, and when I tried pediasure, he asked for more, so I knew he's ok with pediasure.
Also, another method to increase milk intake, is to do banana milkshake. Sometimes, for K's cereal in the morning, I rather use formula than breastmilk, and I would take my extra bottle of breastmilk to do banana milk shake for his in-between snacks. Very easy to do, just take 1 banana and milk and blend!
Also, there's a spoonbottle (a bottle that is attached with a spoon type, which u just tilt the bottle, and milk flows out from the spoon) in the market. Eg. Pigeon / faarlin brand or even tolly joy has it. Easier to spoonfeed milk.
Millie, on eating.. perhaps you would like to start trying out dried scallops in your porridge. At least it's natural, adds a bit more taste to the porridge, (better than adding soy sauce, salt) or like what other mummies say, give variety like noddles, etc. I have yet to try on noddles too!
Lazy mum...
I know most mummies already started giving outside food.. but mummies, go slow on that.. bits and pieces are fine, but try not to give it as a meal for the babies. Not forgetting that in the event if your child ever goes to childcare in the near future, the porridge at the cc will not have any salt/sugar!
Goldfish, can check if your ifc provides dinner for the little one, cos mine does! So I dont have to rush home, cook and feed!
