EASTgal, wow, ur bb is 9.4kg at 6 months?! power!!!
starrz, it's better to mix stage 1 and 2 to feed, rather than alternate feeding... cos the taste may be very different. but mixing, bb will adapt to the new taste subtly... i'm increasing from 1/3 to 1/2 stage 2 now with my gal. she is taking it well so far...
anyway, mummies, can i check with you on how you feed cereal to your bb?
for the past 2 weeks, i have been instructing the ifc to feed my cereal in the afternoon feed time. originally, she took 160mml of bm. so i get the teacher to take 30ml out to mix with the rice cereal and feed her the remaining bm after the rice cereal.
yesterday, the teacher at ifc said i overfeed my gal.. i should give her cereal, then feed her 160ml bm after 1 - 2 hours.
but the cereal my gal took is not a lot and it should not be considered as a full meal. cos usually after that she will still cry for milk.
so how? shall i increase the cereal amt?
today, my gal actually finished 200ml bm at one go just now. i was shocked! i actually took the wrong bottle of bm to go out just now. and only after i warm the bottle then i realised. so no choice, just feed her, thinking that she will not finish. who knows she finished all! hmm... just now i gave her 180ml fm, she also can finish all... does this mean i should increase her milk intake?
then if i want to introduce puree in her meal, do i give her after the cereal? or in another feed, e.g. morning or evening feed.
sorry, so many questions at one go....
