tks piggy!

 

[mwerkz]

mashy> okie. i'll go find.

 

[phy_o]

Hey ladies,

can check with u if your baby's milk intake falls when on solids? My ger drinks 7oz everynight before sleeping. But today she's only drinking 5 oz. A bit worried. Afternoon she also drank less.

Is it cos I started her on pork this month? More meat, more food, not so hungry?

 

[piggytoh]

Phy,
i tink it norm tt bb milk intake reduce when we intro more solid... as long as she drink abt 500-600ml per day is fine..

 

[jul_04]

donkeymami

oh u reminded me of the waraku soup pasta

baby ja

i think bbs r different. some may prefer watery porridge n others thicker ones. some like a lot of 'liao'. since u're having prob feeding javier the 'hor liao' porridge, maybe u wanna try the plain one n see if he can get used to the taste?

phy o

sam's intake did fall when he started on solids. in fact when he was on 2 solid mealsbefore he got sick, he only drank abt 450ml per day.

 

[jul_04]

eggs

i feel like murdering this woman at the clinic. that day we brought sam to the pd to check on the pee. there was this lady who had a 4mth+ baby who was quite big-sized. dunno what she told my mil abt feeding her baby. now my mil is asking to feed sam quail's eggs to make him smart!

darned irritating lor. i tell her NO EGGS b/c of allergy. n sam has a bit of eczema rash too. she said "but quail's eggs are very small. it's not chicken egg, so ok. n it'll be hard boiled, not soft boiled, so no danger anymore"

argghhh!!!!! what's with her n eggs to make baby smart? think she's feeling guilty that she din make soft-boiled eggs for hubs, that's y he's not smart, n now she goes crazy making him soft boiled eggs. i kept telling her to watch the cholesterol n she says nvm, only a bit. n it has to be soft-boiled egs to make the brain smart, not well-cooked eggs. faint!

 

[phy_o]

Jul,
Ur MIL very funny and have soft ears. Better ask hubs to talk to her.

 

[sumire]

jul
bring sam for allergy test? might be the fastest way to solve this problem of her wanting to introduce egg. i've introduced Zachary with well-cooked egg yolk. dont want to start on egg white even tho he don't have allergic reaction to any food yet.

introducing high risk allergy food can wait. no need to rush. better be safe than sorry. but then again, in laws can never accept our suggestions. good thing is you are the caregiver, not her.

 

[~mimosa~]

jul,
yup...i read that its safe to intro cooked egg yolk from 8mths onwards but no egg white till after 1yr old
for sensitive babies...better to wait till 1yr before introducing any egg
tell her doctor say one lor...heheee
but this is wat my PD advise for ryan cos he has some eczema too

 

[mwerkz]

jul> faint.

 

[jul_04]

i told hubs abt the lady with quail eggs in front of mil, n he immed replied "siao ah???" so end of issue.

but of course mil can't resist suggesting once in a while. but i just say no. it's kinda difficult coz i'm camping at her place on weekdays. need to give her face also lah. but at least i'm there to 'watch her'. since i've started giving sam fish, n recently, pork.. she's been more 'appeased' coz running out of things to suggest liao mah haaha.

hubs also says that mil is 'like that'. he says she's a 'typical lao ren jia, full of inconsistencies'.

for eg, she doesn't allow sam to be in front of the fan directly. the fan has to oscillate else he'll catch chill / get phlegm etc. i'm fine with it, esp since he's coughing.

but.. the other day, i saw her fanning his head vigorously with her manual fan. i was asking her why coz she said strong wind is not good. she replied that this is 'natural wind' n is different from the 'electric wind' from the fan. i was like ??????

 

[~mimosa~]

baby ja,
Dats good..maybe can let him try a few more times

jul,
Haha..my mum also say the same bout the fan

safety gates
any type to recommend? Need get one to prevent my boy from goin to kitchen

feeding
my boy has only tried carrot, potato, pumpkin, butternut squash, spinach, sweet potato..plus pork in porridge for taste..wat else can intro to him? Running out of ideas

 

[mwerkz]

jul> old pple got alot of their funny logic. if living with them, juz got to close one eye abit =x

sharon> i m getting the 6panel playyard from bp forum so i can keep my boy within a specific play area

 

[mashybrainz]

sharon

mine is lindam.

jul

haha. Being smart or not is genetic. Eating eggs doesn't make one smarter, just fatter.
