My baby's diaper also dry dry one.. no weight! And i don't see water too. How to know baby is dehydrated ah?

 

[benbenfish8083]

u all no give BB water???

atually can we give BB water??? i saw one forum mentioned that giving too much water to BB will cause them dilute their blood... is that true?? I give him quite alot of water coz i scare he gets too heaty wor!!!

 

[jaster150704]

Fish,

how much is your a lot? for my definition a lot means 1 full bottle (160ml) of water.. usually in a day combine i will give him about 80ml... but he won't take all..

 

[xiaofeizhu83]

Fish - I give my bb water when she on FM cos I also scare heaty plus she got alot of eye shit previously... after taking water the eye shit cleared away... my bb loves to drink water some times she left like 20ml milk nv finish but give her water she drinks...



Jaster - my bb ever take 160ml or more in a day but she peep alot alot when she intake so much water... now she is in IFC so I do not know how much water teachers gave her in sch...

 

[jaster150704]

xfz,

if 160ml is combined i think should be okie.. just now i was referring to 160ml at one go. wah that one a bit scary rite.. that means 1 feed is on water only..

 

[redlets]

Hi 5 !! My janelle is also on milk strike !!! On average she drinks only 60ml .. Than she will push e teat to the side of the mouth and let the milk drip out ..her diapers also v dry de n even when got urine, u can smell is v concentrated cos think not Enuf liquid intake .. Every time drink milk is a battle for 2 of us cos she will cry n cry while I will scream n scream ... Blood can boil de .. Strangely is that when not drinking, she is super active n can sing n make so much noise .. I really wonder where she get her energy from ... Not sure how long this strike will continue but it started since last thurs .. She still pooing 1x per day so I guess is normal ? Right now since she has little milk, I make her sleep more so as to conserve energy ...



I also thinking of starting her on cereal but when I checked w pd last week, he said too early leh .. So how ? To start or not? She turned 4 months last sat ...

 

[xiaofeizhu83]

Jaster - I see... if she drinks 160ml of water to replace milk think I will faint...



Mummies, do your babies start to 'recognize' people? I suspect mine starting...

u all no give BB water???

[benbenfish8083]

Every feed i will give him abit water to 'wash mouth'.. then everytime he wake up from short nap.. i will give him water as well.. i think he can finish 180ml at least a day...

 

[milktea20]

Too much water in the body of babies under 10 months of age can dilute their blood and cause their sodium and potassium levels to fall drastically. In the worst case scenarios, that can lead to brain swelling and even death. "And the dangerous part is if the brain gets swollen the next step would be actually a seizure or convulsions.

[mercsboy]

mine also on milk strike lately...then i try to latch him or feed him water...

last time when kyler on milk strike and i worried, i gave him glucose water...those PU TAO LING..

got once he whole day refused to drink, so i used syringe to feed him...

very bad mummy

 

[milktea20]

huh, so its pretty common that baby go on milk strike?

Wahlao what is wrong with them, think mummies not busy enough ah.

 

[milktea20]

Rach, the cloth book you sell to Annie that day, do you still have stock?



I wana buy, saw BP selling at SGD 4.50 each

SGD 35 for 10pcs

 

[babyg_08]

Milktea, ya lor, as though we are not busy enough! So many babies on milk strike... why why why?



With my #1, he will drink when we distract him with toys and music. With #2, nothing really works. We dread feeding time and it's a 2, 3 person job and still not successful!



PD told us to syringe feed him or start cereal earlier.

 

[airmez]

Jaster: 2 adults sharing one single-sized bed?!?

My ah lau has 如来神手/脚, I once kenna a punch from him when sleeping with him on a queen-sized bed. No joke loh... Me sleeping until so song, and suddenly *bang*. And he still got the nerve to continue snoring. @#$% So die die have to sleep on king-sized bed, for my safety...

 

[benbenfish8083]

Milktea, then how much water is too much ya??

 

[milktea20]

BabyG, use syringe to feed milk? Wah!! challenging. Hahaa..



Fish, I dun noe how much is too much leh, I supposed one baby mouthful to "wash" their mouth should be ok lah, anyway I have not feed my baby with water yet. Soon I will start bah I guess.

 

[mercsboy]

fish hu: abit of water is fine de la...dont worry...i give also

 

[babyhappie]

Seems like a lot of babies on milk strike. My boy also can be very active n happy even though he takes very little milk. Everytime feed him is like fighting a war. I have tried many ways to bluff him to drink milk. Carry n walk around, stand near the window let him see scenery, let him watch tv while drinking, singing to him. But he only drink a bit more. I hope he wun cultivate a bad habit, if not next time will have difficulties in feeding him.



His diaper is also very dry n have yellow stains. There was once a pinkish stain too. I guess this is dehydration le.



I wonder he won't feel hungry meh? Drink so little. Water dun help cos he also reject it.

 

[zenia]

Jaster, u steady leh... 2 person can sleep on single bed... I sleep on queen size alr kanna elbow by my hb many times lor... I slap him hard everytime he elbow me... Then he'll wake up in shock... Haha...



My gal co slp with us, she sleeps in the middle... Then in the middle of the night I realized tt my hb bolster on top of my gal's leg, n my hb leg on top of the bolster... I slap him he can still tell me where got squash her leg man! Dam angry... No space for bb to slp in cot so no choice [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

[redlets]

Super draining when fighting w janelle to drink milk ...also because of her phlegm, she drank about 100 but she choke n rEgurgiate out a fair bit .. So I guess i take it as 60ml drank ..



Starting on semi solid :

How come there since to be differing views on whether can we start on semi solid not? Some said can while some advise not to .. For janelle, I have yet to let her sit on bumbo so not sure If she can sit n whether she is ready for semi solid ...

 

[totorodino]
