Hi mummies:
Its been a long time since I last posted, and at such unearthly time. Been so busy now that have to cook porridge for my boy. Anyway just to join in the discussion..
Feeding schedule:
I don't even have a "schedule" as my boy still wakes up 1 to 2 times in the night. Morning sometimes he wakes up as early as 6 am, or as late as 9, 10 am. Is this normal?
Porridge time, can be 12 pm or 2 pm depends on what time the porridge is ready haha, this mummy is lazy and not disciplined. Anyway generally he is on 2 solids (sometime breakfast cereal if he wakes up early). 1.5 to 2 hours later he'll have his milk, but each time latch on only 10 mins.
Weight gain:
He is slowing down alot. Now 9.8 kg, 2 months ago he was already 9 kg. So I starting mixing FM into EBM, in case my milk not nutritious enough.
Porridge:
Jia you to kiwifruit and other mummies who just started porridge. I think some babies take a while to adapt no matter what ho liao and how tasty it is. Mine took about 3 weeks before he eat a decent amount. Initially spitted it out.
Ingredients wise, I am in a dilema, my mum says simple will do, easy eat easy grow, don't let the baby get used to eating so tasty food. I don't mean add soya sauce, but to add in all the nice ingredients all at one go. So each meal, I would only use one kind of meat, at most with one kind of veg. What do you mummies think?
Also like to ask, if give fruit or fruit puree, must wait a while after the meal then can give? Any harm if I alternate a few mouths of porridge and fruit? Thought it will make the taste less monotonous, but dunno will it affect digestion or something?
