Oh.....it's so interesting to read about the fake coughing. My Jaden doesnt do that but I'm truly amazed that there are babies out there who do that just to get mummies attention! Babies are so smart!
Jaden drinks a total of 600ml ( 200ml per feed ) for the day plus 2 semi-solid food ( he can finish almost 250ml of the cereal or porridge ). I did remember there was a time that he drank less milk and simply refuse to finish his milk....when I reflect back, I realise that it's because he was starting to teeth cos abt 1-2wks later, we saw the teeth bud.....now he only has that 2 little front teeth ( halfway mark ).
Jaden also always throw his stuff on the floor though I noticed that he always let it go on his left side but he doesnt look for the toy. If we are lucky, he will bang his toy on the tray ( I normally give him his toy while he is seated on his rocker/high chair ) and bite it but it usually doesnt last for more than 10mins. It's babies way of exploring thing and we should encourage them and let them explore though it can be frustrating. Give them as much opportunities to handle all type of things from soft toy to hard ones, it helps build their motor skills. So what I do is I will have a whole bucket of his teether/rattle/soft toy and I will give him the toy to play with and when he drops it on the floor, I will hold back for 5mins before giving him another toy. So by the end of my dinner, my floor will be filled with all his toys!
Just last weekend, Jaden's teacher commented that Jaden has very good motor skill....so happy for him.
Oh, for those mummies with babies that dont drink water, maybe you want to consider given your baby water mix with a teaspoon of the gripe water? It makes the water abit sweeter and it's suppose to help reduce wind in baby. I give it to Jaden after his bath everyday - he can finish about 50ml of water in one go.
Hi Millie,
Could it be cos your baby dont like the porridge flavour? I noticed that Jaden dont finish his porridge for certain flavour so I figured its cos he probably dont like the flavour.
