Sus, bb latching time shorten could also be becos he is more expert now. Also he is bigger and stronger, can drain the breast faster.
Ashley, baby centre info some are more suitable for caucasian babies. Also they are not updated - present guideline is exclusive bf up to 4 months (not 6). Our babies double their birth weight much earlier so 17 weeks can be taken as the minimum before introducing solids. Of course if you delay up to 24 weeks, even better, but not more than 6 months unless PD approves.

Hey shall we do a spree for the U-Like blender?
Ange: That's very nice of you! Hahaha... actually for me, in the beginning, I told HB, no way am I going to live with his family... in the past, I couldn't even stand his siblings... hahaha... well, over the years & looking at PILs' circumstance, I guess my heart soften enough to accomodate them lol...
& yes, you CAN do it one... maybe by then Jon is bigger & there'll be less issues (hopefully). Maybe after living with you, your PILs will come to see your point of view?
Believe in yourself, things will work out eventually... *smile*

sus: kyan bb drinks less milk when he was 4 mths. nw he seem to go thru growth spurt again. he down 150ml nowadays... but sometimes he jus too playful to drink. must sing song den he drink.. if he dun wan to drink, he will use his lil hands to push away the bottle.. and keep shaking his head.. nottie...
Moonbaby: My eldest is 7 & I'm a FTWM. Yes, it's a challenge but thankfully, I've my MIL & maid's help. So instead of grousing abt MIL, I try to look at the bright side - that at least with her around, I can work in peace. I do not have to worry abt maid ill treating my babies, or babies falling sick in IFC... I guess living with MIL's irritating behaviour is the lesser of evils.

Gelato, don't wean before 4 months. After 4 months, the longer the better unless your baby is getting hungry very frequently (means milk is not enough for him). Also check that he doesn't have tongue-thrust reflex - babies have reflex action to push things out of their mouth with their tongue. If they still hv this reflex then they are not ready.

pluf: Maybe GMIL diff la... they one generation older... even more generation gap... hahaha... but you are great man! Still tahan... then again hor, I think maybe my GMIL easier to live with than my MIL... (btw GMIL is MIL's mum, our other 7 grandparents have passed on)... then again, I dun live with her, just meet her once in awhile, maybe she very nice la... but from what I observe, GMIL is quite understanding one... seems more so than my MIL... hahaha..
Pinkie : Thanks for the info. u mentioned exlusive bf for 4 mths, so i thot the earlier we wean the better.. hehe... my bb likes to stick out his tongue, as a result, he drools alot... i guess that is the tongue-thrust reflex?
ni : my Caden oso... always drink abt 2 to 3 oz then he'll use his tongue to push out the bottle. Yestd, i tried to talk to him, tell him he'll be handsome if he finishes his milk, then he drink! haha...

cheekygal: Good that you & MIL are discussing issues... keep things that way, should have less conflict if you are able to engage in discussions.
Come to think of it, me & MIL not much discussions... most of the time, only HB, me & FIL make decisions. MIL will just go with our decisions... hmmm... why? Maybe she belongs to the 'do as your husband say' mindset?

blessedmum & ange: Wow, your bb appetite very good. I think my #1 only went up to 180ml & #2 & #3 have not gone beyond 120ml yet... doubt #2 will ever go any higher... #3 still has the potential.. I was so envious when my colleague shared that her dughter will take 200ml of milk immediately after her cereal dinner! Her bb is coming to 1 ba... but still, that's a lot of milk lol.. my kids dun seem to tkae that well to milk le.. hmmm..
Emq, me too, my son never drinks beyond 180ml. Now my gal only take max 120ml. maybe i should increase her milk intake and see if she can drink more. I like fat babies, mine is so petite.
ni, this sat i have to bring inlaws for lunch leh, unless fil says he wants to play golf and not free. haha, then we go together ok??

Hi sus, you are not alone. My baby's appetite also seemed to be affected.
My baby is on hunger strike for the past 3 days. I also find it so strange. She will fuss alot when we tried to feed her. As she will start crying once she tasted milk. But when we give her water, she will suck vigorously and can finish the whole bottle. The only time she will drink milk is when she is fully asleep. Aiyoh, so headache. I'm wondering is that she doesn't like the taste of that brand. So I tried giving her Mamil Gold. Yet also the same. She can drag to 6-7 hours without her milk and even we tried to feed her, she will still fuss for as long as 10-15 mins before finally sucking her milk.
So finally we brought her to a PD for a check. The PD advised me not to give her water cos he suspected that my baby likes the taste of water and my BB may think that water can makes her full too that is why once she tasted milk, she fuss and cry. So have to "train" her to like milk and recognise that milk is the one which will make her full. So totally no water for time being and cannot feed her when she is asleep. So she is on hunger strike now lor. And the strangest thing is that she didn't wake up at all in the middle of the night to cry for milk even though she drinks very little during the day. Sign~ really worrying ah...
If still didn't improve, may bring her to another PD for a second opinion. May mummies here have any good PD to recommend?

Emq: like u, i invited my PIL to come over stay with us. I cannot speak mandarin. My hubby and I converse in english only. I thought it would be good if Brayden can grow up in bilingual environment and multi generation home.
I am lucky to be blessed with nice MIL, we can get along well. I close one eye to small things that she made me unhappy like she lost my expensive Shu Uemura brushes, took Brayden out to shave off his hair without asking me first, singing and playing with Brayden during his night feeds...etc.
I look at the big picture, i can go to work in ease and i can work part-time at nights without worrying. She won't il-treat him.
only bad thing is I have to put up with her high standard of cleanliness. She cannot stand sight of clothes being piled up and unfold, I have to fold them quickly before they pile up.
While i don't mind dirty floor for several days, she can't stand it, so I have to try vacuum/mop every other day.
no matter how tired i am when i am back home late at nights, i try to do the chores.

blessedmum: hihi! I'm tired lor, after started work. 2 weeks already, already gotten used to the lack of sleep. so just down more kopi during the day. javier just have to take the high caffaine milk. keke...
I also changed venue to feed milk, or switched off tv. or told ppl not to walk about. haha..
pinkie: I'm also interested in the U-like spree.
but I'm thinking of getting it soon tho.
suika: my boy also likes to bite the teat very hard, and then pulls the bottle with his hands, to make the "pok" sound. quite cute at times. don think it's teething yet, shd be just exploring. teething is around 8-9 months right.
for mummies who have gotten the sling, it's too low? is it secured? I keep having the fear that my baby will slip thru the sling and falls on the floor...(-o-;

Hi Sus, I am glad the breast surgeon is finally able to help you!!!
I am direct breastfeeding too like you Sus! Yes now, my baby also seems to drink less. Especially in the morning. My breasts feel the fullest when I wake up. But my baby not interested. My breasts only becomes soft close to 11.20am after coaxing her to drink. What about you? I feed her every 1.5 hours - 2 hours up to 1.30am. Not that she is hungry. Waking her up to drink. Then I sleep for 4-5 hours peacefully.

Cherry: Must be mine. I'm always leaving things all over the place. Very absent minded..worse after pregnancy.. hee! Do let me know how much I owe you.
Milk intake:
It's a struggle to get my girl to finish her milk these days. She will drink about 80ml holding her bottle, then she will start pushing the bottle out of her mouth. Then the last 10 - 20 ml.. she will start crying. She drinks about 120ml - 140ml 4 hourly. I thought that they are supposed to drink more as they grow..
