Smalldreams/Tam L/TYL/luvbabe/Steph: Thank God my boy is not the only one who doesn’t like water. But it’s so impt for them. I tried bottle then sippy cup yday, he spilled so much water. Will try using spoon today like TYL does.
Yesterday at the weaning talk, Mrs Wong says the recommended amount of liquid (including milk) is 150ml for every kg of body weight. If my boy is 7kg and that means total of 1050ml/day. If drinks 150ml milk x 5 feeds a day (total 750ml), he still needs to drink 300ml of plain water! Gosh, how to drink so much! (or did I do a wrong calculation??)
Jessie: Arwen looks so sweet! All her relatives in France must be adoring her to bits!!! France has free education, so good! But it’s true, Europe’s taxes are high, and that’s why many of them end up rather not work and take assistance from govt (I know, coz some of my relatives there are like that, plus jobs are getting scarce). But guess that’s partly why Europe’s economy is trouble now.
Your in-laws so sentimental, kept highchair for so long!! Imagine if next time my grandchildren inherit my son’s highchair... awwww, so sweet.... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I’ll try your method and put the juices from steamed fruits into water. But must slowly wean from it also right? So that they can eventually take plain water.
My boy not sleeping well the last 2 nites again. He always doze off on my breast during the last feed of the night. Then if I wake him up, he refuses to sleep already! But I dun want to make it a habit of him falling asleep during feeding. But he doesn’t have prob during day naps. But I think what you shared sounds so true. Maybe I’ll try to feed him a bit earlier, then let him slowly wind down with minimal activity then put in his cot and see if he can sleep better that way.
Qn for SAHMs - do you let your LOs play on their own? Do you always have to be within their sight or even to play with them? My boy doesn't wanna play alone these days. Is getting more & more stick/cranky. Separation anxiety? Teething? Last 2 days, he even bit my nipples so hard during feeding, i screamed out in pain. Then he got a shock n cried *faint*
