Drinking water
I gave water on my boy when he started semi-solid food about 2 weeks back when he turned 6 months old.
He doesn't like water!!! He will suckle for 2-3 times and push the bottle away...
I am afraid he's not having enough water cos he's on DIY brown rice cereal 2x a day.. Scared too heaty for him.
He's on breastmilk anyway.
Any mummies facing same prob of bb not drinking water?

<font color="aa00aa">skinny pig (skinny_pig)- Kieran was also on TBM (and no water) until very recently. Just get ur boy used to drinking a little each time (i feed Kieran water whenever he hiccups nowadays - which happens whenever he laughs too hard!) He also doesn't fancy water, but can now drink about 20-30ml per session (which is alot by his standards - used to just swirl the teat around his mouth and drink 5ml a few weeks back). Other than that he is on BM and rice cereals and it seems ok so far.

i will prepare 2 bowls, the new food and the cereal and feed together with FM. its my attempt at weaning J off the TBF. So far J has taken well to the sweet potatoes,papaya, apple. But he is allergic to avocadoes i think and today's banana is producing a few rashes i think. sigh.
skinny pig
my boy also refuses to drink water from the bottle. actually he just refuses the bottle. period. then i saw yan's video of amelia drinking from a cup and decided to try and lo and behold! he is now drinking water 2 to 3 times daily from the cup! much easier than spooning and no struggling with the bottle. maybe u can try.

<font color="aa00aa">Goldfish (goldfish1395) - You can intro new food every 3-4 days. I am planning to do it every Sat & Wed for Kieran's case. Here are some useful sites:
http://www.babycentre.co.uk/baby/startingsolids/introducing/
This site has info on when it is okie to intro what types of food:
http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/
dseptkon (dseptkon) - allergic to avacado and banana? Hope nothing serious. So far, i have allowed Kieran to suck on some fruits (jackfruit, apples, even oranges which i know i am not suppose to cos it is acidic). He had rice cereal for the first time over the weekend but was looking at us so pathetically when we were having fruits after dinner that i ended up giving him banana with BM which he lapped all up! No rashes, but ended up with more fitful sleep (maybe from a sugar high)! Anyway, i will try harder to stick to what i am suppose to feed him from now on and not give in to his greediness!
Btw - are u using a sippy cup or a normal adult cup for water? K also drinks more water if its not fed from his bottle (my MIL uses a spoon, but that is too troublesome and i want to get him a cup as well).</font>

Well, guess I need to be more patient in getting my bb to drink water
I got a sippy cup from my colleague. Intending to use that to train my bb to drink water from the sippy cup. Just started today, don know how he's doing so far, will need to check with bb-sitter this evening.

i think J is allergic to avocadoes cos after the feed he had red blotches around his mouth and cheeks where there were none before. as this did not happen with the other foods, must be some kind of contact dermatitis and he was also a little whingy the rest of the day. with the bananas little red spots started appearing about 10 min after the feed but disappeared after half an hour or so. I read up on avocado allergies and about 1% of ppl have them and those ppl usually also have banana or latex allergies.
drinking from a cup
J uses the adult mugs or kor kor's thomas the train kiddy cup.
the water does spill out but he gets a lot more in than using a spoon and since it's just water, we just clean up and change shirts
no prob and he finds it fun. on the other hand, he didnt like the magmag sippy cup we bought him.

How do you all mix the veg like pumpkin or carrot into the cereal?
Have been back to work for more than a week now, miss my baby very much. I call back to check on her at least twice a day but I can't even talk to her over the phone as my MIL believes that it is not good for the baby to listen to the phone. Sometimes, when I speak to my MIL, and hear my baby's voice, I'm so sad as I want to talk to her so badly, even though she may not understand me yet.
But ever since I started going back to work, she has constipation. How do you solve the constipation problem? Funny thing is, over the weekend when I take care of her, she will poo. But once the week starts and I return to work, she doesn't and it's getting worrisome, cos she may not poo for 2 days or even 3 days! And after that, can see her straining to poo. Haiz... Any solutions?

All root vegs and vegs need to be steamed before puree. If you are feeding fruit or veg puree to bb, need not add FM or BM. Water will do fine esp peas, sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Poo tends to be v hard after consumption of the above purees. For rice cereal, add FM or BM for more favour cos itself taste bland.
Questions for sippy cups
Those with sippy better or those with straws?

<font color="0077aa">Bacon: I gave sippy cup, cos it has the sucking action so might be easier for baby now. Will upgrade smallberry to straw later around 8mths.
Goldfish: Yesss... I usually steam the foods first, the only time I boil is green peas.
rlrenn: The luckybaby food preparartion was a gift so not sure which brand is better. But then again mashing food also very troublesome! But I have no time to go & buy a blender!
Bigtoes: I usually will give the vege for 1-2days 1st then the rest of the 2 days mix with cereal cos the cereal have 30days expiry after opening so need to finish it fast!
Sasa: I gave about 3 tablespoons per time but how come my HT cereals still a lot left?</font>

storeberry, haha.. me also find my HT cereals never finish one, I giv my boy 5 spoon cereals once a day.. now almost 1month, my HT still got 30%.
Mummies, how do we defroze baby cubes ? I took out from freezer then warm it with microwave directly wor... Am I wrong ?
Tik should invest a food maker liao, need to mash food. use blender is troublesome..

Yun: I defroze baby cube in my Avent warmer. I don't have microwave. The thing about microwave is that it might heat up the food unevenly. But I find blender easier, just now I puree & strained the carrot at my kitchen counter, its so tiring & took so long!</font>

Yun,
I defroze by steaming the puree using the old method - put puree on a plate in a pot with water
Used to use the pigeon food warmer but think no good to steam in the plastic container provided plus the water always spillover..

Complimentary Enfapro :
Pls register at MEADJOHNSONASIA.COM for free 400g Enfapro and vouchers. They will call u up to arrange for appointment to deliver to ur home/office.
Bigtoes,
I give the fruits/veg puree separately from the BM. Normally i let him finish the puree first followed by milk. If i give him fruits/veg puree in the afternoon, then i give cereal for dinner. I dun mix them tog.

Mummies,
Want to seek u gals opinion ? Is it necessary to steam apples and pears before blending into puree ?? My hubby's aunt (caregiver) says just blend will do, but the recipes found on the internet mostly require steaming followed by blending. I think steaming just makes it softer right ??

Goldfish,
My hubby's aunt feels that so long as bb got teeth, can intro porridge, but for me, i dun intend to give Alston porridge until he turns 7mths next mth. In the meantime, i will give him cereal and veg/fruits puree. BTW, it will be good to intro veg puree first then fruits cos veg is not as sweet as fruits, if not bb might reject veg if u intro fruits first.
