Dropping hair:
My hair is dropping very fast too.. I can vacuum the floor one day, next day the floor full of hair again. And i need to clear the toilet strainer thing once every 2-3 days, else very disgusting! Every morn, i will run my fingers thru my hair and count how many strands i can find. it is usually more than 10! after bathing, another 10-20 strands drop, after work, can see hair all over my jacket or chair...
feeding solids:
my PD told me i can start my gal now. last nite, hubby and i eating bak gua in front of her and she kept watching us! i feel like a bad mum depriving her of food! according to my PD, there is no fixed time whether u wan to feed before or after milk. but perhaps i'll try 1 hr after milk or something.. can try 1 tsp a day. if bb can accept then slowly increase till the cereal can replace 1 milk feed. then keep doing till milk becomes supplementary.
PD asked me to start on white rice cereal. she said brown or white rice is fine but white rice has more milk content... however the organic range i am looking at are all brown rice. is brown rice more diff to digest? currently my bb already dun poo daily, dun wish to make it worse.
regarding milk:
just wanna ask, if bb moving on to follow-up milk for 6 mths and above, do we need to do any transition? eg. slowly replace each milk feed with the follow up milk? or can just replace entirely once bb reaches 6 mths? (assuming u are giving the same brand)
since bb is starting on solids and no longer wanna latch, i am thinking of stopping BF-ing.. but FM is not cheap and with partial BF each tin can last her longer~!
