Gelato: That's a really good reminder for all of us. My Chinese CMI, but I tried to finish reading the whole story, I think it must be the longest Chinese text I've read since A levels! Hahaha...
I think it's not just our parents, but our children as well... how many times have we told them to wait cos we are busy?

hallo mummies, can u share what is your feeding routines for ur babies? The last time we shared was maybe about few mths ago. Want to check if Im doing things right for our babies coming to 12 mths.
Im doing 3 feeds a day, after Caleb wakes up in mornining and his morning and late afternoon naps cos he only bf when sleepy. So having trouble with him getting 600 ml of milk a day (I think his each bf is only about 150 ml). Now I break up have to resort to breaking up his one extra feed by expressing half a feed after his soilds lunch and dinner. Is that ok? Would really appreciate comments on ur sample feeding routines. Thanks!!

Sus: Yen's schedule is as follows:
7am - 90ml milk
9/10am - cereal or porridge
1pm - 120ml milk
4pm - 120ml milk
6pm - cereal or porridge
8pm - 120ml milk
11pm - 120ml milk
Wow, actually after putting it down, I realise she's taking less than 600ml. She snacks on biscuits as & when she sees us eating - this can be at our meal time (B/L/D) or when her sisters have their afternoon snacks.
I'm not sure if this is the 'correct' way to feed a child, but I believe the child will ask for more if he/she wants more. We never have problem getting #1 to eat, practically have to beg #2 to eat, thankfully, #3 falls somewhere in between...
I hope that helps.

Sus: The Bjorn is really a waste of money! Its only good for the first 6 months even then I started feeling the pain on my shoulders from 5th month. Can only carry baby for 20 mins then the ache starts! I prefer mim sling and I find the weight is better distributed, however not so fast to wear and can be hot.......
For now, I find that baby is more interested to sit up thus I thought its about time to get a new carrier.
With the boba and other soft structured carriers (like ergo, beco, boba etc) the weight is actually distributed over the shoulders and the waist, whereas the bjorn the weight is totally put on to the shoulders!
I actually find that its possible to breastfeed discreetly with the boba by simply loosing the waist belt slightly, and you can actually control how much weight is put on yr shoulders by adjusting how hight the waist belt sits on yr waist/hips......thus put higher on yr waist, theres hardly any weight on yr shoulders =)

caden's feeding 'pattern' for weekdays
9am - 150ml milk
12nn - porridge
3pm - 150ml milk
6pm - rice with soup
9pm-6am - latches on as & when he likes
for saturdays, the 9am feed is replaced by latch on. on sundays, it's 2 cereals & latches on.
I m not sure how much is his milk intake, hv a feeling may not hit 600ml too, cos MIL say he doesn't finish his 150ml most of the time.

gelato: rice with soup? what type of soup did u give? the soup we drink?
Aedan is a glutton! Loves to eat. I will show him the milk bottle & ask him if he wants milk, he will nodd his head. So yday I try out & ask him if he wants to 'oink oink', he nodd his head & crawl to his bed. Actually am quite amazed at the things babies can understand now.

flo, Ashley also hates milk. But she likes to try different food, always sticking out her tongue when she sees us eat. what bread do you give V? Plain?
ni, the bread and cheese is using cheese spread or laughing cow?
Now I have a problem with Ashton's breakfast. He refused all breakfast items except yoghurt. He only wants to eat bee hoon and the asian breakfast stuff, exactly like the father. Dun know wat to feed him already
I have finally settled the balloons. One item down!

Flo/cherryale: So Im not alone! C loves his solids but difficult to get him to drink by latch or bottle too! The only way I can get him to drink more milk apart from when he is sleepy is by spoonfeeding him.. arrghh.. but I bought a squirt feeder that can squirt milk quite fast into his mouth.
Blessedmum/dink/ni/mummies who give bread: will babies choke on it? do you cut into small pieces?
My schedule is as follows:
8-9am: Latch
1130am: Short latch + lunch + top up with expressed milk (80ml)
3pm(often skip when out): apple juice or biscuits
5pm: Latch + dinner + top up with expressed milk
Then usually before bed time will try to offer milk but he will refuse lor!
I see most of you havent started breakfast. When you all intend to start 3 meals? thanks!

sel: i "scrap" the apple and feed direct...
but i still steam some veg and store in freezer..that is for me to use during weekdays nite time...cos dont have time to cook ma, need chop chop one. then sometimes i give rice with the steam vege or pasta or cereal...depends
flo: i mix mix...nowadays very hard to stick to "good" food. i mean like we try our very best to provide them the best food at home, but eventually when they are out, they will still be exposed to those "lower" grade food...
so i mix la...if have i give kampong eggs, if run out, i give normal eggs. if i got go market, i buy kampong chix, if dont have, i just give whatever..
