Starflower, Seabreeze,
Hope you have a smooth day at work
It will be my turn this Friday! Boo.
Ida,
Panadol extra contains a bit of caffeine for fast relief of headache. So, it depends on how particular you are. To me, it is safe enough to take when the need arises even though breastfeeding. But if your baby is the ultra sensitive type, you may want to avoid it.

Talking about bumbo..
Was quite tempted to get a new one until my hubby's colleague aggressively told me not to. Her elder daughter fell down, head down when she was 4 months old. Quite a bad scare for all and she really regretted it. She said it happened so fast tt she din even yell or scream. Her daughter was so badly shaken tt until now, she will not sit on a high chair

Dear Mummies,
Remember that I posted here regarding my son being too used to YL? I am very happy that he can survive without YL in infantcare after only 1 day! Now he sleeps on mattress at night.
Therefore, I am selling my YL away. It is less than 4 mths old. Those with rollers. Bought it at $80. Intend to sell at $60 and comes with 3 pcs of nettings. Self collection at my place (punggol). Do PM me if you are interested.

daphne,
my boy also decreased his milk intake recently, but think these few days back to normal again. Think its just a phase
Just an update on my boy...he went for his 2nd 6-1jab last fri. Thank god this time round no fever...not sure if its due to he 1 teaspoon of paosheng water I fed him the day b4 or as the PD says, some babies have it easier the 2nd time round. Anyways, he is now 6.6kg at 3 mths. PD says bb wt growth will slow as compared to earlier mths. I asked her for milk intake guideline and she gave me a formula:
120ml-150ml/kg/day. So my boy's milk intake now slightly below, but think as long as he is contented.
Holiday trip:
Mummies, me now in dilemma whether to proceed with our hol plans to phuket in early Jul or change destination to bintan. Sigh, was really looking forward to a short getaway w/o baby, now with the escalating cases in Thailand, having 2nd thots, though its mainly concentrated in Bangkok. Was telling hubby if no baby, we sure go ahead one cos even S'pore itself now already over 100 cases. But since we are now parents, gotta consider for BB as think we need to quarantine ourselves for a few times even though we r ok, so mil/ my mum has to take care of him for addn few more days. What shld I do???

grace,
for e.g. my baby is 6.6kg. So minimally, he shld be drinking 120ml*6.6=792ml per day. Higher end of the range is 150ml*6.6=990ml per day. Divide it by 30 to convert to oz and divide by # of feeds a day to determine how much he shld be drinking per feed. Hope this helps

hi teddybaby
previously my PD adviced that bb should consume about 100ml-150ml/kg/day, so i thought my bb is alright as he was already drinking close to 700ml at 2.5mths (6.5kg)... now at 3.5mths, he starts to be easily distracted, or maybe due to teething, his milk intake has been reduced to around 650ml.
but these 2 days, there's a further drop to about 550ml, i think it is due to jetlag
will monitor for 1 week and see if his milk intake will resume back to normal...

Now I quite worried about Eddric's intake. He also decrease his milk intake from last weekend. At first, he was drinking a lot. Now it's pathetic. It's only 100 - 120 ml every 3.5 hours. A great drop from 150 ml every 3.5 hours. If I used the milk intake calculation, he is really not drinking his amount. He's 7.3 kg, so should be taking 730 ml minimum.. I think he only took 650 - 700 ml now.. Should I consult a PD?

Another thing.. He was happily switching to bottle but now he always cries when I give the bottle but will happily latch on. Anyone facing the same thing?

thanks teddybaby for the calc tip, very useful
From there i estimate Keenan is overdrinking coz my mum LOVES to stuff him with a lot of milk every 3 hourly when he's not even crying for milk yet!

re: drinking less/sleeping more/change pattern/etc
Wah! Thank goodness I am not the only one with this problem when BB started to act like this for about a week until a few days ago - sleeping a lot in the day time despite taking in like 20-30 mls less per feed, and going for 4 hour stretches instead of 3 now. Also not pooing everyday as usual. Not to mention the night sleep patterns completely upside down!!! Unfortunately I have not been able to find out why this is so, except I can only assume that it's because now is the period when things are really changing - motor development and awareness increasing a LOT now, and nearing the 3-4 mths mark, their sleep pattern also changing to accomodate longer sleep hours (probably needs more rest cos now hitting milestones) and bigger feeding interval. Guess it is a transition period. Looking at the growth charts, this is also the period when weight gain dramatically slows down, probably from all the motor activity too, so it sort of makes sense.
Anyway wanna reassure u mummies that wrt feeding my boy has increased his intake again after more than a week of this pattern change, but now because every 4 hrs, I have consciously put 10 mls more per feed than what he was taking before this pattern disruption. Now the only reason he dun finish all is because he too distracted and milk went cold, or he too full and refluxing, as usual... But yes he does need a lot of coaxing to finish the last 10-20mls nowadays too. Cannot force if he dowan to take more lah.
Oh and the bedtime feed? He downed 200mls once and went 8 solid hours sleeping.... O_O
