Charleen, haha cuz yr angel grew so fast!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Mummies, need some advice regarding bottle feeding. I'm training my son now to take the bottle for 3 feeds in the day, he drinks 80ml every 2.5hrs from the time he finishes the feed. But he takes half an hour to finish the bottle and sometimes falls asleep halfway or just cries and refuse to drink halfway. I'm already dragging the time between feeds. I tried changing the teat size too but still the same. Any other suggestions?

Haha!!! Guess wat? Think my angel too heavy till my back can't tahan! Last night pain n ache till like I'm going for labor without epidural!!! Thank God after taking the pain killer (prescribed during my c-sec) then I can slp n now better.
Hmm... Chelleybaby, maybe cos ur BB used to ur nipples. Like Angel, she suck less than 30secs, pause for prob a min to c her look there. Then suck again. Sometimes I feed her till I also pek cek then dun let her suck. Hee!! Prob spoilt her earlier so she now always take her own sweet time to drink.
Yesterday I examined Michelin! Realised that My BB Angel is like Michelin, got 4 portions, like the lotus roots! Haha! Gave up teaching her how to flip but now she like to b in sitting n standing position. She can sit by herself for prob abt 1min b4 tumbling down
But she love to stand with our support. Her legs getting very strong!!

I'm also using wide neck pigeon with the peristaltic nipple teat. Think will try to switch brands again. Haiz
Charleen, u're doing a great job BF-ing Angel to become a Michelin! My mom and in-laws keep asking y my son so skinny~ keep asking me to supplement him with FM and start giving him solids.. but i refuse..
haha my son also dunno how to flip yet~ he only knows how to roll to his side.. but dunno how to flip to his tummy.. and yea my son also loves standing and sitting now~ whenever we carry him on our shoulder, he's start kicking his legs like he wants his feet to be placed on the ground to stand..

Gal dolphin,
I was latching exclusively too. But I really waited till he was hungry then bottle feed him. So many times he screamed and cried but i never gave in. Eventually he'll drink after fussing for awhile. It has been almost 2 weeks and now he just cries a bit a the beginning, not as bad as before. But he doesn't drink much from the bottle, but at least it is a start. I bottle feed 3 times a day now, and latch for the rest of the day.
I'm still working on the pacifier bit though.. haha

Gal dolphin,
mine is a screamer too! When he was hospitalised for his reflux, all the nurses commented tt his cries are v fierce too. Haha, but I really had to be hard hearted and let him scream and scream at the beginning. No choice. I always tell him what happens if mummy got no more milk then how?

Gal dolphin,
I will carry him and let him scream and cry in my arms, I just don't give in. I'll distract him by singing songs, watching cartoons and bringing him downstairs for a walk, until he super hungry then he will take the bottle. In the past everytime he cried, I let him suckle, so he was never really very hungry before. No choice, got to bear with his screams. But it really works, he takes the bottle with lesser fuss as time goes by. But still doesn't drink much, still working on that.

Oh and same for my son, tired also cannot put him down on his own cuz he will scream and scream too. So Bo bian, I rock him until super drowsy then put him down carefully and pray hard he doesn't notice. It's a big improvement already, used to carry him to sleep in my arms in the day!! Really envy mummies whose babies let them pat to sleep!
Gal dolphin.. Haha.. Thanks thanks.. Bali was interesting.. But I had to squeeze in time to pump.. I end up going to less places.. Sigh..
Chelleybaby.. Have u tried to let ur boy cry till he's v tired then give him pacifier to suckle to slp.. That's what I do with my son.. After a while, he learn to accept the pacifier and drift to sleep

Gal dolphin,
Ur case also like mine. My baby also refuses bottle! now he's 5 months old, still rejecting bottle and only wants to latch on. When I'm out at work, my MIL will try to feed him... and whole day he only drinks less than 100ml... haiz.. so no choice, we had to introduce rice cereal earlier, else he will be hungry the whole day...

Tat's y i bough one. Large size..

Puix,
usually dairy and eggs are the culprits for eczema flare ups, just like the case of my niece. Why don't u try eliminating them? Heard frm the doc tt it takes abt 8 days to see the effect as bits of dairy tt we consume will still be in our BM.

puix, if normally those u take, ur bb ok, then it's ok. but if u have intro new food into ur meals, and bb got allergy, then better stop that. Chelleybaby is right, best is to abstain all dairy n soy product for a while.
hope ur bb gets well soon [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
