deedee:
thanks for the tips on porridge...i will try the brocolli + carrot and see if bb likes it with her fish and porridge.
pasta:
i have tried the bellami macaroni but that one a bit big. there's this star-shaped pasta i think the brand is "only" and if bb is new to pasta this is quite good coz it's small. it's an organic one and they have a package including the pasta sauce. can buy in carrefour or the organic shop in B2 of great world.
Lili:
can introduce salmon ah? my pd said only cod or threadfin for now.

sandy, I tried your method by putting my boy to sit on a pillow and he is able to stand up himself whilst I hold his fingers lightly. You are so great. any suggestions how I can encourage him to crawl? My boy doesnt like to crawl, he always turn over to lie on his back when I put him on his tummy.

so sad, bb esther is not growing well. pd said must wean her off bf. she only put on 100g in one month. She is also not eating well, not interested in food. I didn't feed her for hours and tried to feed her cereal, she still reject. When i see that, I felt so sad for her. Indeed every child is different. my older girl is so easy with food and just eat every thing you give her. Even if she doesn't really like it, she will still eat. But she will tell you next time don't give her.
fion:
aiyo, u must be so heartpain! hmm, how long do u intend to bf? if intending to wean her soon, can start giving fm loh... maybe she'll take? if she doesn't take solids, still ok cos milk is main source of nutrition for 1st yr?
as for weight, think u ever told me not to worry... 100g is for wat length of time? if 2 wks, shd be ok bah... my gal din put on any weight in e 1 mth she rejected porridge... then now better when i gave in and started giving her other foods instead of juz porridge for lunch and dinner...

congrats! Mission completed!
sheepish:
think AG's method of reducing number of feeds is easier. Also when u latch on bb, dun let bb empty the entire breast. else wait breast wont wan to reduce BM production. the demand and supply theory. if engorge, just hand express out a little.
Fion:
looks like both of us are having fussy bb on our hands. my bb has not put on weight alot for abt 1mth+. maybe u wan to give partial BM, partial FM?
bb just started eating abit more of other food in addition to cereals just last week. after she got used to eating puffs (yeah dun ask me why she reacts this way but that was wat happened) maybe they are not used to texture beside milk so they reject?
I'd read from bbcenter that there is a particular type of FM that has all sufficient nutrients inside that bb usually gets from eating solid food. This type of FM is specially for fussy bb who rejects solid food despite being of age to do so. I'm going to keep a lookout to see what brand we have in singapore that caters for fussy bb.

ag gal,
i read before that some babies just dont want to crawl and dont want to crawl.. the usual way to encourage is like what mibebe said, to entice him with his favorite toy. even if he doesnt want to move forward and reach it, you can still let him be on tummy..if he flip over, put him back..at least let him spend some time on tummy.
has he started on finger foods? if he hasnt, maybe you can start with letting him bite on finger foods like soft diced squash, melon, cooked apple or pear..diced. can also use puffs or cookies but eating too much puffs and cookies will spoil their appetite (gam zek) so i prefer giving fruits and veges as finger food..but if you want to entice him, you can try what lonerunner did..give puffs..after he is used to it then cut down. after 10 mths will be harder to make them take texture..jaiyou
lili
there are only 2 level two classes. we've been attending both the play and learn and the music class.
meat:
i use pork tenderloin..in sg its called pork fillet. sheepish, its really tender. i usually buy 1 whole strip and cut into slightly smaller than palm size portions (not too much protein allowed becos the kidney cannot handle) then i cut into small fine cubes and double boil with porridge. it blends into the porridge so no mashing needed.
just to share, for mommies who hasnt start brushing teeth for babies using toothbrush, we should start brushing already. my hb's aunt (shes a pd) that many children dont like brushing teeth so we should cultivate the habit early. so ive been letting her brush with toothbrush and she enjoys it..and we do it daily in front of the sink so that she knows where to do it next time. im using oral b stages , stage 1 toothbrush..

Mummies,
Thanks for the replies on the porridge thingy... seems like not many ppl cook porridge using slow cooker yah...
Fion,
Poor baby, but I thought now they need not put on a min every month already? My bb can one month dont put on weight but PD still says he is ok leh... Try to give some other solid food and see if it helps? Take care!
Sandy,
Baby kidney cannot handle too much protein now? Oh dear, I feed Xavier with fish 2 times daily and I give pork or chicken in his porridge everytime I cook but I dont feed him the pork or chicken, just for taste only... Is this considered too much? Naomi has started using the toothbrush already and she can brush herself? Thats so nice, I am still using finger brush for Xavier...

happy, thats quite a lot of protein to digest in a day, not forgetting those in the milk. I give 1 slightly less that palm size portion per day. Also fish shd be given 2 servings per week or at most 3 due to the levels of mercury content. By the way, i saw his photoshoot pics, his so cute, so ,many xpressions.
Lili.. The pds here also say can give table food haha but im not doing that, not even hesitating keke. Its still early for them to take seasoning. Naomi also eats 1 rice bowl serving of porridge each sitting but shes still lightweight.
U can try standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom sink to brush bry's teeth. I never brush outside the bathroom becos i want her to associate brushing teeth with the right place. She likes and pays attention to brushing cos she likes to look into mirror and hold the toothbrush. I hold her hand and brush with her while carrying her. Quite fun haha.

Hi
Sorry to interrupt. Anyone looking for a babysitter at Kovan/Hougang? Would like to help my ex-babysitter to post her services. She is a nice lady in her early 50s with more than 20years experience in babysitting. Her kids are all grown up and the home environment is clean and smoke-free. Interested, can call her at 6284 1137 (Karen) to find out more. Thanks!

oh dear Sandy, seems like I am giving too much then... I will cut down, didnt know too much protein is bad.... Thanks for sharing and thanks for the compliments on his photos hehe
Lili, Bryston only eat one rice bowl serving, Xavier can eat one soup bowl for each meal! i.e. 2 times of the green pigeon bowl.... lol
SY, for flu or cough, my PD typically give Rhinatiol for cough, Illiadin nose drop for flu and Zrytec to prevent itchiness of throat or nose. For phelgm, PD give polarmarine. Recently, he is down with very bad bug and till today still has phelgm, PD just prescribed him singular for 7 sachets to be completed over the course of one week, supposed to nourish his lungs...

Happy, that's only on good days when she likes the food or appetite good, think 3/4 of the time she is fussing while eating, very difficult to get her to eat, can finish 1/2 bowl i'll be happy liao...
SY, ya i need to "trick" her into eating, i try to keep feeding within 20min or if porridge cold and she's still fussing i'll stop and give milk.
When it comes to feeding sometimes i'll be so sian.. esp when she dun wanna eat.

haahaa ... yesterday there was a very funny incident with bb. we were on the MRT. This old lady suddenly insisted in taking the seat which bb sitting on. she doesnt wan my seat, duno why but was very insistant in snatching seat with a bb. So hb carried bb in his arm while holding onto the overhead ring.
while in daddy's arm, bb kept looking at daddy holding onto the overhead ring. Then she also wanted to hold onto one herself. So the end results is that both daddy and bb hold onto an overhead ring each, to the amusements of others nearby.
then as we were approaching our destination, hb walked over to the exit door and placed his palms on the glass of the door for support. After bb saw that, she also placed her hands on the glass. Exactly same posture!
too bad I din bring my camera. else it would be fun to capture this moment! haahahaha! think bb is now at the imitating stage liao lah ...

Hi everyone! I am Liting, remember me? Sorry, MIA for the last few months, was super busy with work and bb, din have energy to chat here. Finally got time to come in now, hope everyone's bb is happy and healthy.
Guess what, I am still breastfeeding! Though it is getting pathetic (average 160 - 170ml) every 24hrs, with 4-5 hourly pump interval, I still hope to continue as long as possible. I have to kind of "force it down" my bb sometimes, esp when he gets sick due to teething or when we pass common illnesses like flu, cough to him.
He is 11kg at 9mth 3 weeks after a stagnant weight for 2months due to sickness on and off. He was eating 1 and a half bowl porridge 2 times a day, with about 4 milk feedings at around 210 - 230ml each time. I add thread fin fish and lean pork, each sized about 2 fingers, spinach, sometimes potato, carrots, all blended together but split into 2 cookings into his porridge. Is it considered too little or a lot?
I haven't been spending time to research on what toys or food or massage etc for him yet, felt so guilty. So far, he is still putting things into his mouth, so I did not really give him any toy, he watches quite a lot of TV (educational learning shows like Brainy Baby, Your Baby can Read), each time he can watch for more than 1 hour but he will behave as he watch, otherwise he will be wriggling like a worm, difficult to carry or he will be shouting, screaming, etc. He only mud-crawls, but quite lazy, will stop after a while, can stand with support, but I did not let him walk much in walker as he will be pulling tablecloth or going to other "dangerous" places.
Can anyone advise if my boy is developing at the right pace or too slow?
