dolly, yeah
Kyle's neck went missing quite some months ago. Oh dear... nvm. I guess the weight will start to come off shortly as he gets more active. My niece also slimmed down from 3-6months.
ahnet, don't know where all the days go. Wake up, go out meet friends, come home and it's time to put Kyle to bed. And yup, he's still exclusively breastfed. SIAO la.. how wide can you open to cause bleeding?! Silly woman! Don't worry... I asked my gynae and he said periods will be very erratic as long as still breastfeeding. So I guess it'll range from spotting to full on heavy period.
Haiyo.. if you and hubby have the energy, chance and inclination to go the deed, I SAY DO IT LA! Your wound would have healed ages ago!! But apparently breastfeeding mums produce less lubrication so may need to buy jelly.
amk_gal, yup. From health booklet. GlenE's PD used to mark and tell me what percentile is it. But current PD doesn't so I have to try and figure it out myself
Bubu~, Sophie's bedtime is SO early! It isn't one I can keep to personally, but I think it's a healthy one for babies. Not healthy for mummy's social life though!
She's a good little girl.
BlueDream & neeciel, I'm hoping not to start Kyle on solids any earlier than 6months... altho sis says he may be showing signs he's almost ready. He always wants to sit with me at the table now and sometimes reaches for my plate. He sat with my family on niece's high chair and just stared and sucked his fist and burpcloth the entire dinner. Hasn't lost his spit reflex though. Hmmm...
> Anyway, probably don't start on porridge first thing. Starting babies on solids are actually only giving them tastes to try and not for nutrition so apparently, a wide range of things are ok - from baby cereal to flavoured cereal to fruit gels and fruit/veggie purees. I'll hope to expose Kyle to different tastes and textures once I start him on solids.
> Contrary to what's been said, I've read from multiple sources that it is not necessary and not beneficial to give babies fruit juice as it is high sugar and low in nutrition. If giving, should be very diluted. Cons: sugars increase risk of tooth problems & increased appetite for sugary drinks and foods and they grow up.</font>
