Mommies i need to rant..
My sis n mom kept asking if ive fed sofea solids for e past few wks we visited em. Today i knew y. They wanted to feed sofea biscuits.
I used to eat those as a kid but they r Not baby biscuits. Its small n round like 5 cents coins n sweet n creamy when iy melts in yr mouth. My sis was v insistent n managed to feed sofea a couple of crumbs. I like blur2 sat there watching her feed sofea coz i was speechless! Here i am going thru ingredients list of cereals n baby biscuits making sure theres no sugr n salt etc, she happy2 jus shove food inside my baby's mouth! Bt After dat i managed to stop her.
Then my mom came ard n wanna pop half of e biscuit into sofeas mouth. I was v firm n said no. What if sofea choke on it?? Now they kept repeating.. Wah sofea like her biscuits but her mommy is now trying to put her on A diet! Wth sia?? If i wasnt ard n left sofea there. Im sure they'll jus continue feeding her . im sure theres salt n sugar n artificial flavors n egg in e ingredient list. I din say anything abt babys digestive system unable to breakdown complex food n susceptable to allergies etc. Dun want to gif a big speech. They alredy think im so rigid n v uptight when it comes to bringing up my child. Then again its my child!!

Marissa,
Tell them v firmly to stop feeding such nonsense to bb at such young age n if they continue to do that, they will not see bb till she is ready to eat those biscuit ie maybe when she turns 1yr old!!
The child is YOURS so you have all the right to determine wat the bb eat. I even scolded my aunt for feeding candy floss when my #1 was 8-9mths old. That is how strict I am when it comes to the child diet.
So now, even my MIL need to ask me if she can give food or even fruits to my kids cos sometimes they just recover fr flu n stuff. Be firm cos if they can do it once, they will keep doing it m if they can do to ur #1, they can always do it to #2 n so on.

Shin: Ya I also bought the enfapro fr luvbabies le. but hor that day i go compare the enfapro n enfalac DHA content... seems like enfapro, the DHA is higher if i remember correctly. Enfalac can drink until 12 mths le... so dunno if i should let him continue that or move to enfapro after he turned 6 mths.
Jaime: Yup i give water to my baby n he loves it. In fact, he is more excited abt drinking water than milk! -.-" in his 3rd mth onwards, i started giving like about 20ml a day cos i worry he will grow up not liking water. LOL... And I gave it to him in those small milk bottles. Just started him on cup with teat cos got it as a free gift. maybe for a start u can use those with teat than sippy type? Cos not all babies know how to use sippy n that might be a reason y ur baby doesnt like to drink water.
Princess D: Aiyo your jade is tooo cute la. Did she ransack your whole kitchen prior to the tummyache episode? Heh

i think i might switch after he abt 7 months or so.... cos i rmb Irish was telling me more or less similar and enfapro cheaper! plus they will get supplements from solids... hahahaha.... so save money!!! unless enfalac really so much better than enfapro then i will give until 12 months... but if enfapro has higher DHA... its better mah... right?

Reminds me of my cousin's son..
My cousin is one kind la. She will use mineral water to bathe baby. Then very protective to the son. Warm a bit also cannot bathe. The son is a mighty prince at home.
One day he complained a lot that his skin very itchy.
Took him to doctor as they r worried chicken pox or what.. as he has red spots n all.
The doc only said "errr... need to bathe more..... "
LOL
Because she n her mom will not let the son to bathe if he has cough etc. Cant dont bathe for few days while sweat a lot during the day!!! Hahaha. Till now it is one great joke in my family..
Lilac
Eberything is falling apart! No wonder women age faster than men! Hahaha
Marrissa
Be strong!!! I can imagine if im in ur shoes i might follow n negotiate.. but my inner feeling will struggle n say no!!

Princess,

Marissa,

I told hb that they have to help rush Isaac to a&e if he develops an allergic reaction. Dd tried all sorts of rubbish too when she visited pil when she was young. Haiz.
Ann,

Groovy:
The iron deficiency thing is if you feed BM only with no solids after 6 weeks. There are some people who have the misconception that when WHO advice to breastfeed for as long as possible, it means total breastfeed with no other solids. What you can do is get cereal that is iron fortified.
Re: Milk Powder Stages
Basically stage 1 has the most nutrients because baby needs the most of everything. However, this does not mean always stick to stage 1. The percentage of each nutrient changes with each stage because at each stage, babies need different things. It is something like stage 1, a certain nutrient is higher, then stage 2, a different nutrient is higher, etc.
Theory is like in 1st trimester of our pregnancy, we need folic acid but too much folic acid in the 2nd half of pregnancy is dangerous for baby. For milk powder, its not say dangerous but just perhaps not ideal if overly prolong and dun change.
My advice is change when you feel baby is comfortable to change (you need to mix for a while also). E.g. At 6 mths, consider adding 1 spoon of stage 2 to stage 1 milk feed. Slowly increase to 1 feed of stage 2. Then slowly replace totally. Reason why you need to change slowly is coz changing of milk may cause diarhoea for some babies.
nycmum:
Baby may be crying for comfort and not hunger. And for newborns, the need to suck is very high. Even if they are not hungry, they are able to finish almost whatever milk you give them in a bottle.
xin2:
For #1, my period came back when my daughter was 9-10 mths old. Even after that was 2 mths once. I was total breastfeed (latch+pump) all the way. For #2, menses not back yet. I have heard of people who din get their menses for more than 1-2 years.
Marissa:
What I do when my MIL/Mum wants to feed my kids funny stuff is tell them firmly no. I also explained to them once that allergies comes in 2 kids. One is the immediate reaction kind. The other has no immediate reaction but comes out in the form of other symptoms in the long run - e.g. asthma, etc. So we will not take such risks. And as I have shared before, all parents are very well aware that if they dun follow my instructions for my children, I revoke visiting priviledges. I have done this before when I banned all visitors after they all disrupted my #1 from sleep.

Shin, my sister also wanted to feed sofea honey as a newborn! She even brought a jar of honey to my hse, say feed baby a lil bit.. apparently its some kind of custom, let baby taste a bit of sweet, a bit of salty etc crap. Back then i didnt know abt the germ thingy in honey but i didnt feed sofea the honey of course.
Thanks SEabreeze, ya i need to b firm. I know em well, if the baby likes it they will keep feeding baby everytime we visit em.
Ann, i dunno wat baby biscuit is good.. got any to recommend? I bought the heinz teething one but sofea just gnaw on it then she spit out the soft bits. My fren told me farley heinz rusk biscuit is nice but saw got a lot of sugar in the ingredient.. dats y nice.
Zuen, buttercream cake ah? lol.
Fifi, thanks. I plan to do the same.. not visit em shd they continue to feed her. 1st time mommy, i like a bit blur2. and ppl oso take advantage of the fact dat maybe being a 1st time mommy sure dunno anything one. BUt with all these i hope i'll be a more confident mommy when #2 comes along.

Ok. So guess it's normal that my period not back yet. Hehe. Good leh. Hate having periods.
Wa. Ban all visitors? Think I won't be able to do that. Sure kena scolded from hb. Tat time complain abt MIL coming over everyday already quarrel lor.
But I agree totally that it's our child we hv to protect them. Got to be firm about certain things. Think my MIL now knows that I very particular so she also dare not ask or say too much. But I'll just fill her in on what is happening lor.
For my parents they are ok with whatever decisions we make they will advice but at the end of the day it's up to me n hb. Just like they kept saying muz start solids now cos too late to start at 6mths. But I insist n tell them no hurry n recommended is after 6 mths. They just listen lor.
Btw, wats ur nick in FB? I very blur leh. Dunno who is who cos name n nick in forum different.

For my parents they are ok with whatever decisions we make they will advice but at the end of the day it's up to me n hb. Just like they kept saying muz start solids now cos too late to start at 6mths. But I insist n tell them no hurry n recommended is after 6 mths. They just listen lor.
Btw, wats ur nick in FB? I very blur leh. Dunno who is who cos name n nick in forum different.

When I do it, it applies to both sides. So hubs cannot complain that much. For both parents and in-laws, I guess they realise that I am serious when I say that they should not interfere in how I run my household, how I raise my kids. My rules are final and only my husband can overule me (he has to convince me though). Parents are welcome to visit and play with kids but how they are cared for, how they are raised, etc, its my rules that count. My MIL kena from my husband before when she interfere in how I discipline my #1. My mum also kena from me. So they all scared.
I dun think I am on your facebook. My facebook is [email protected]. You all can add me if you wish but I don't post much pics lah..

Hi Fifi, I've added you in facebook.. My name is Ixxxxe Cxxxxxa.
Thanks for your info about the iron-deficiency anemia.
I've tried to feed Josie 1 tbs of Nestle cerelac and she's able to eat it [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I can't find healthy time cereal in Admiralty [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
All the supermarket didn't carry the brand, strangely, including NTUC.. My hubby tried to find in Clementi also can't find it [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
So in the end I bought Nestle brown rice cereal. I saw sukrose in the ingredients which means sugar is inside. huhu..
Btw, is 1 tbs of cereal per day too little? She's still drinking milk as usual.

hi all..
Fifi,
I've added u too. I'm Jacqueline.
Nycmum,
When u gonna test??? Excited for u!
Princess d,
Jade's so cheeky!! Really knows how to seek mommy's attention.
I'm super duper ubber tired today.. Had this dog event at east coast and I gotta be there to man a booth with one of our partners. Wah piang.. That fella don't do work one!!! Stand one corner relax only and only helped to clear the stuff at the end of the day. Really mad! Going complain to his boss big time. I'm pregnant, hot, hungry, thirsty AND cranky because of MS yet gotta do everything! Grrr...
Becos of the event I had to leave jadelyn at home with her daddy. No choice... My mum went m'sia to 扫墓. Luckily both of them survived. And can you believe it, my hubby FINALLY changed her soiled diaper for once! Wahahha!! I think I shld 'disappear' more often and force him to learn to look after his little princess.

groovy,
1 tablespoon is fine for now, especially if got sugar inside. Don't give too much in case she gets hyperactive. Just monitor her. If she's fine on 1 tablespoon then slowly increase a bit every few days bah. Personally I still feel giving non sugar added cereals is better. But if cant find then too bad. Try JP's NTUC if u have time to go there? Or order Organix ones from agape babies. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Princess D: Jade can really eat! Kakaka hope she is good today.
I havent catch up on news so not sure if there's any report on the haze? The sky looks weird earlier at ard 7ish pm. It was so orangy! I've nv seen the sky like that b4.
Starry; Cheers to your husband for taking care of Jadelyn alone! So far my hubby has nv bathed or changed my boy's diaper all by himself. Im not sure if I shld worry if one day he has to do it. Not worried for him but for my boy. He can be quite rough at times with my boy lol
