Snnowy,
U are right, Rachelle is teething. Saw 2 teeth popping out on her lower jaw. Now she got 16 teeth liao. She's starting to take her FM feed more readily. Phew!!
Haru,
I understand how u feel. I'm also very scare when the day comes for me to wean R off latching to sleep.
Wtan,
Don't think it's all on board lah but got improvement. After i stop pumping i only feel fullness at the end of the day(as R latches to sleep every night), now she latches more, i can feel fullness at mid day.
I gave the orange flavored cod fish liver oil to R. I give her a teaspoon only n on alternate days.
Jes,
R also don't like pasta.

strange. my Nat now goes back to eating only soft and mushy stuff. For many months, she only wanted rice, biscuits, boiled potatoes, cut up pear n papaya. Now she wouldn't any. She used to gagged at the first mouthful of cereal, and now she's happy to take a generous serving at breakfast. It's so troublesome having to cook porridge for her all over again.
any mummies experienced this before??

Babyzel,
I think now is mine turn. She is turning into full latching for the past 2 days. This is her 3rd time. I checked and saw 2 whithish thing on her inner gum, I guess it should be molar. I'm telling myself the next time she accept FM, I'm gonna to wean her off altogether.
How abt trying to latch her for 1st half, then give her bottle and put her in cot to finish off?
I think most of our babies doesn't like pasta.
Lynn,
How's work? I think it good to start on 1.5 - 2 hrs basis then slowly lengthen the time, esp for our bb with separation anxiety. That's the bad part of being a SAHM. They are too sticky to us. I'm sure those who put bb in infant care doesn't need to face with the issue of separation/stranger anxiety?

snnowy, babyzel,
I used to give nat her FM first (assuming she is more receptive when she is hungry)followed by latch on. She usually starts to reject the bottle when she is half way thru - probably when her hunger is half satisfied. Over time, she takes more n more from the bottle, until she is totally weaned. And that's when I start to miss having her at my breast. Had to endure her protests n wails when we started on this. I think it was exceptionally hard for her to switch as I nurse her directly for the whole first year. She only takes water from bottle.
If possible, get someone else to offer the bottle (anyone but mummy)to bb. Mummy should stay out of sight, and smell.

moomummy,
You mentioned abt zoo-phonics sometime ago and I register Lucas to the zoo-toddler class at Jurong West and had attended the first lesson.
Go into the class only, he eagerly go get a chair and sit down but refused to get up! We gotta sit on the floor in front of the teacher, and he keeps wanna go get a chair behind to sit. For the first session, I would say he is ok though he cant sit down and pay attention. I think throughout the 1hr class, he only listens to the teacher for total of 5mins nia and only sit down quietly after the teacher gives out chocolate cookie.
re: MIL
Wanna frustrate here again ... recently Lucas is having skin problems ... dunnoe he got a cut or scratch his head, and got pus and dried up. Since I was preggy, MIL say cannot eat durians else baby will have flaky hair scalp ... but I still secretly eat abit but definitely have not taken one whole basket of durians! Now MIL come say again issit I eat durians thats why Lucas got skin problem now! Very angryz.

Jo, super no logic leh...

yes, yes. i did mentioned about zoo-phonics recently. and yesterday, me went to register darius for the weekday playgroup classes(twice a week) too.
Wow, lucas is so guai leh. though he's not really paying attention to the teacher, but at least he dun cry at all. i'm keeping my fingers crossed now, hoping that darius would oso be guai when he starts his playgroup this thurs morning.
re: durian vs flaky skin
i dunno whether it is related to durians coz i ate alot of durians during my pregnancy and my boy is having skin problems like eczema and he got flaky skin oso. brought my boy to a skin doctor/specialist and we were advised not to bathe him in normal baby soap but use those mild ph level medicated soap. and we have to apply moisturizer for him daily too.
maybe its all coincidental bah. just ignore ur mil lah.

How to start our tods with self-feeding (using spoon)?
lian, erm.. i start 3 month ago to let my gal try using spoon. i will say ma ma feed, after i feed her, i will spoon the food again, and say reyess feed. then i will let her hold the spoon at one end, the i hold next to her to guide her to put the spoon into her mouth. i will let her try a fews time on each feed everyday. so when she is alittle bit confident and want to feed her herself, i will slowly let her do it her own with some of my help if necessary.
btw, does any mummies here, start to add seasoning to your child food? my hubby complaint tat my gal is too plain without seasoning.. and when is the right age for them to eat abit of seasoning food?

hi moomummy, ignored her. i heard from other mummies, my mum and some doctor regards eat durian during preggy. do u know durian has alots of vitamin so in fact it very gd to consume during preggy. and those mummies who eat durian during preggy time, when the child is born, the child is very healthy one and hardly fall sick easily. duno is it true. but of coz must eat in moderation coz durian also high in sugar and very heaty.

darlest, even with no seasoning, their food can be very flavorful de! hehe...

yah, me usually won't be very bothered by wat my mil says about me. me will just keep quiet and carry on doing my stuff.hehe..
for the seasoning of food, my mil doesn't add any seasonings to my boy's porridge so its very plain tasting. my boy still eats it but sometimes abit slow.
but my mum has a different thinking though. she encourages me to add abit of seasoning,like light soya sauce to my boy's porridge to have some sweetness to it. then when i did, i realize my boy finishes his porridge faster than usual. but i dun add it very often also lah. just maybe once in a blue moon.

moomummy,
I don't eat durian, but my gals do develope dry skin once a while.
Not sure if u hv heard of "Sorbolene cream". It's very affordable, but so far, I've only seen those with 10% glycerin in Singapore. I usually get my supply of 100% pure sorbolene cream by Skin Basics from Australia. If my memory serve me right, one tube costs abt A$5, and last for quite a while. It's so mild it can even serve as soap substitute. If u wanna give a try, I can spare u a tube. My replenishment is arriving soon.
Meanwhile, dun apply or use anything that contain fragrance, alcohol n lanolin on your bb. (bath gel/moisturiser/shampoo....)

yes, i've heard of sorbolene cream before and also heard that its good for dry skin bbs. but the skin doctor whom we've consulted advised against using it. coz he said it will worsen my boy's skin condition. thus, i din dare to try it on my boy, otherwise, if anything happens, then i will really get an earful from my hubby and mil liao..

thanxs lian and moomummy. tat wat i think too tat their porridge already very flavorful liao due to those ingredient i put such as "long gu or ma tou" and corn and sometimes add in ikan bilis to boil the soup. and i alway add cod fish, meat, brocoli, cauliflower, carrot, potaotoes, spinach to her porridge. and sometimes i will change to bellamy brand marcroni or pasta to exchange with the rice.
lian, u seem expert in cooking. u have nice recipe to share with me? hee

Snnowy: Hi, Snnowy!!
WORK IS SO TIRING!!! I miss the days when i can wake up the same time as bb.. everyday i need to wake up at 630am for work, it just seems like when bbs just newborns need to wake up for milk feed.. Urghhh.. yeah talk abt SAHM, i also agreed that bbs tend to be more sticky glue.. My maid told me that my boy every afternoon call for me.. so poor thing..
sob sob.. miss him too.. and every evening when i came back from home, whenever he sees me, he wants to stick to me w/o letting me go to bath.. if i am out of sight eg; go bath or toilet, he will scream and cry..daddy also don want.. haiz... yeah talk abt stranger anxiety.. till now my boy still never comfortable with strangers.. antisocial person..
Jes: I pregnant also eat durian. in fact is my mom ask me eat.. she say durian for pregnant women is tonic.. very "bu". she says last time their time, no money to "bu" like always cook chicken soup (chicken expensive), they eat durian as tonic.. my boy complexion also very nice.. TOTALLY NO LOGIC!! Old ppl like that one la, like to blame on pp. my MIL also like that they think cold, sweet drinks = no good. i gave my boy half a bottle of yakult, she tell my HB i give bb soft drink. when got cough, finger point at me, because i give "soft drink". i simply ignore her.
Darlest: talk about seasonings, the soup i boiled used to cook bb's porridge, we did add abit salt to enhance the body of the soup.sometimes, like dinner, we give steamed fish.. i steamed with tomato and ginger.. tomato give some flavour to the fish.. but we do add some seasonings already,a bit of soya sauce.. the good brand.. not too salty. just a bit.. to marinate the minced meat or chicken. my boy also a fussy eater.. instead of plain steamed rice.. we cooked pumpkin butter rice, tomato rice or chicken rice using chicken stock to enhance the flavor of the rice.. hehe.. maybe u can try..

aly_nat,
I've not feed bb putside food as a meal. I will make sure he finish his food 1st(poridge/cereal) before we eat (lunch/dinner).
But only feed him a bit of what we are eating.
So far, he ate plain rice (his fav), noodle, mash potato, steam egg, tofu.
Lucky for me, he is not a fussy eater.

Not sure if u mummies are interested - Highlanders Rainbow Rice. U can google on it to read up more.
Basically its different kind of grains + mushroom + seaweed all mixed and grind together.
Easy to cook and most imptly its healthy!
Itself is quite flavourful liao, so u just need to add meat and vege to make porridge
Can buy from NTUC
addon.. "Highlanders Rainbow Rice is made up of 8 different ingredients. They are namely Brown Rice, Black Glutinous Rice, Buckwheat, Mung Beans, Pumpkin Seeds, Chinese Barley, Shitake Mushrooms and Seaweed"
