Jamie: I think I will join another day ba cos weekday a bit hard to get leave...
Re Ring: I can wear back my ring but got to push real hard to go in.. so in the end give up.. haha
Re Meals:
here my gal's schedule:
7am - milk 150ml
10am - cereal 6 tbspn and 150ml milk
1pm - 150-180ml
4pm - 3/4 bowl porridge and 150ml milk
740pm - 210ml milk
Recently just increase the solid and realise that she's taking less milk (she used to take mi 180ml milk per feed) so starting tomorrow, am gg to reduce solid and increase back the milk since milk is suppose to be the main source of nutrient.
Re Weight: I still have 6 more kgs to shed to pre pregnancy
my gal already 7 mths liao, I guess Im doom... stuck with the flabby fats (esp my tummy) cos ppl told me if cant lose by 6 mths then meaning "fixed" liao.. sob
Re Feeding: My gf once taught me that we should set rules when feedng bb so that they learn to eat at appropriate times and fix place instead of running around with kids when they grow up. I m quite convinced for that so I followed accordingly. Since day 1 I will put my gal on high chair and start feeding her. It started with lots of praises in order to get her to eat. My gal "perform well" under praises,. haha.. so each mouthful she takes, I will say " good gal" in some exaggerated tone so I guess that kind of encuorage her to eat more. keke..
Originally I started with playing with her in order to get her to eat but apparently I realise that becomes a habit and she will want that each time so I stopped doing that and stick back to "good gal". Now after 2 mths, we only need to say good ga" occasionally cos shes always readily to open her mouth (it became a habit for her cos we always feed her the same time)
I agree with mummies that if bbs are not so interested in solid, can always start late. Mine started at 5 mths (on the exact day she turned 5) cos PD finally gave the nods. My gal has been eyeing for food for a long long time (each time she will swallow saliva) so when we give her solid the first time round, she takes it readily.
Perhaps you can try to get your bb to watch you and your hubby eat dinner or lunch. Bbs beig curious will eventually want to try it out and you'll know they are ready to take their solid..
Re teething: when my gal starting teething, I also realised that she drinks very little milk - down to 100/120ml and she will bite the teat very hard halfway through the milk and stop drinking altogether. But after a few weeks, its back to normal. PD said as long as bb drinks min 600ml a day would be fine. So sometimes in order to nake up for 600ml, we will give more feed during the day.
Sorry for the long post - just wan to share personal experience
