Sporty. I still bath my girl in the tub but i don't fill it with water. i will shower her in the tub coz she can't stand unsupported.
Hi all! Long time no 'talk'! Hee...
Sporty, I still use the tub, but my girl prefers to stand now. Since she can't stand unsupported and my bathroom is small, she uses my toilet bowl for support! But I still fill the tub with water and use the water to sponge bath her.
Re: food
My girl has cereal for breakfast, porridge for lunch, fruits for teabreak at IFC. Dinner is either porridge or cereal, depends whether I have time to cook the porridge in the morning.
Haven let her try other food yet, except for baby biscuits and plain bread. I'm super unadventurous. Haha...

The thread is finally alive...
Bidosoh,
U also lose weight very fast. Now i also damn skinny. Skinny till my butt also flatten.
swantson,
My boy also like to knock his head on things. He like the sound he made with the knocking but he do it gently. I was so worried that is a sign of autism but seeing so many babies here are also doing it so it should be normal.
paperger85,
Yah plain chwee kueh should be fine. But with oil and salt better not. Tell ur mil that babies can't eat everything adults eat, if not problems will arise. I am going slow when comes to introducing food cause dun want to stress his digestive system.
Hi saintbaby,
long time never see u here.
Hi starrz,
There's no fixed guideline to introduce 3 meals by when but of course as they grow older we need to gradually introduce 3 meals as milk may not be enough for them. My boy is taking 1 meal of cereal and 2 meals of porridge.
Hi saphira,
Hi long time no see. Your boy is still feeding 2 times at night? From what i know sleep is #1, food is #2. They should be sleeping thru the night by now as is beneficial for their brain development and health.
sporty,
My boy still bathing in a tub filled with water as he still can't stand steadily.

bathtub/shower:
When he was in tub, I started use some water and sprinkle on his head n face, then wet the sponge and drip over his head...
Then I shower him a few weeks back, cos his pattern is cannot lay down still during diaper change, so water his butt is the fastest way...
I let him sit on the floor or let his chest supported on my lap if he stands.
normally he is occupied with his toy, so i put shower head over him and try not to let him "drk" too much water as I wipe off the water from his face sometimes.

adelynn,paperger85 both our girls are born on the same day. Both your girls seems to be smarter. Mind will just roll her face on my chest when she really desperate to latch.
Weight loss, another way is to cut carbo. I only eat 3/4 bowl of rice when i want to loss weight.
sporty, my girl not really too eager to latch. She is very routine, just latch before her sleep. Then in the morning time when she wakes up she will latch. During the weekend, she will latch when her 'meal' is due. Basically she don't take me like her moomoo cow.

Mommies,
I'm surprised to read that many of the babies are standing unsupported, while bathing too. Wow!
My baby boy can stand 'unsteadily' but only with support. He still crawls to get from one spot to another.
What is the next stage after crawling? Do they just crawl and then stand up and walk overnight? Just curious.

Kanelmo,
I recently saw my boy can do this action, palms on the floor, feet on the floor(like touching toes if u r standing) and butt high up in the air, so I think is he might be able to puch himself up to stand for the next stage.
Taurus,
cool...onions, how do you prepare? can we cook n freeze onions?

paperger: yes i do, i dice them up before putting them in porridge. by now they should be quite good at swallowing and some of them already know the 'chewing' action. my girl now bites off her baby bites biscuits instead of sucking on it waiting for it to melt.
swanston: haha, i wished lor, but sadly no, still flabby le...

swanston, don't envy me lah. I am getting fat recently. Over eat. I stopped my walk after I went back to work since March. So gettng fatter and fatter. So cool, your gal able to cruise. My girl is far from it. She can't even crawl with all fours. Still crawling like a snake, with tummy on the floor.
Bathing, she is still using the tub.
Height and weight can refer to the health book. I guess as long as over 50% percentile is considered good.

sporty, so you are really stopping bf? Working is really difficult to bf. Really sian. Sometimes really busy with work and still need to squeeze time to pump. But I phobia, don't dare to stop. The last time I stop bf, my boy start falling sick and kena bronchitis and then become rhinitis. So i regret til now. Of course every child are different. Still I have this phobia thing in me, so will stop after my girl turn at least 2.
bidosoh, yeah gonna stop when my gal turns 1 as i did 1 yr for my boy also, so better be fair huh?! haha... anyways juz needed my life back esp after bonding with the pump for so many mths... i wanna go travelling, work in peace, meet my frens/colleagues for long lunches instead of rushing back to pump, relieve myself of lugging 2 bags to work, spend more time with the family instead of the pump, etc etc...
Bidosoh, I experienced the same for my gal. When I started to cut down on the number of BM for my gal, she started to fall sick frequently. When i stopped totally when she reached 9 months, she got bronchitis. Well, I did feel bad cos I shld have persisted on. But I know it's also a growing process for her. Given that she's in IFC, it's more unavoidable. So I decided to 'forgive' myself! Haha... So, dun blame yourself for what had happened, life goes on.
Wow, seems like a lot of bb are heavier and taller than my girl!! Her weight gain was slowed down by her illness. Sigh. But she looks happy, so I dun really bother. Hee... But my gal seems to eat a lot, she had 5 x 150ml of milk (used to be 180ml before she was sick) and 3 solids meal per day, with snacks like fruits and biscuits in between. Hmm... Where the food goes to??
Anyway, can I check if any of u uses slow cooker to cook porridge? I use my slow cooker to cook porridge for my gal before I leave my house ard 7am for her dinner feed. Within a week, I have 3 incidents of burning the porridge and no porridge for her. I used HIGH, it went chow tar... I used AUTO, chow tar too... I used LOW, porridge still very watery. Sigh... Cos I cook my porridge for 12 hours, how shld I tackle this? Any advice??

Morning mummies,
How long do you take to feed your babies their porridge? My girl takes one hour to finish one bowl of porridge. Issit too long? She like to keep her food in her mouth and refuse to swallow so we got to wait for her to swallow her food...

Hi taurus033,
Ya, can't come in that often now cause company changed to new boss with fish eye lens.
Night feed: My boy wakes up twice on his own when we are sleeping at night. The easiest way to put him back to sleep is latching
Bath:
Both my kids bath together in a pool of bath tub. It's fun time to them.
Porridge,
My boy can only finish 1/2 bowl. Doesn't really know how to chew yet. Small drinker and small eater but very active. Weight is 8.7kg.
Breast milk:
Ya, it's tough when we are working but when I think about his health, this becomes a daily routine to me. At night when he does sleep long hours I will have engorgements. So, that mean no long night sleep for me as long as I am still breastfeeding. It will be harder for me now but easier in the long run.

Adelynn, Happy 10 Months to Stevlynn!
Saphira, I agree that bf and keeping them healthy is the best in the long run. My girl was down with flu 2 weeks back. She kept crying and I can't sleep for 2 nights. I myself fall sick after that. Though pumping has disrupted my work, we falling sick will all the more disrupt work and health. So I will hang on until she turns 2.
I stop bf my boy when he turn 9mths. So this is the mark, but I am not going to stop so soon this time. His allergies has turn really bad. Just last night after eating a slice of pancake (choco and cheese favour). His eyes are very very very swollen and itchy and he has running nose after eating that for just 15 minutes. The swell has subside this morning, still left with 10%. His teacher called and question me what happen to him. His eyes looked that he has been crying through the night. I told her that its caused by allergies. So if bf is going to help to keep their health in check, I won't give up so easily.
