Elmolly,
Really can't do much.. as you know.. I don't recommend chinese diet because they contains low calories..
As Andrea has 2 congee, she really doesn't have much time left for bottle feeding anyway. Unless you wanna cut off 1 congee, feed Andrea with cereal (mixed with bf) and top up with formula or bf
As Chinese they don't like kid to drink milk..
And my suggestion is opposite..
my belief is ....
BF or formula is main food before 1 year old, all solid food are just for fun as supplement.
Rice cereal, is the first food, congee should be avoid, no seafood, dairy product, egg, and honey before 1 to avoid food allergy.
Fruit is healthy for all age.. fruit juice is the last choice for vitamin intake.
Infant up to 2 years old should be locked up in the high chair at feedng time.. never run behind kids.
potty train must be held until infant is ready. no pushy.. no rush.. no right brain training..
kid should learn every thing from experience.
I know .. not many ppl agree with me .. but it doesn't mean I won't give you advice base on your need.
As I told you in pm.. my theory may not able to apply on the reality.
Everyone have their choice, as a health care profession and a child care provider. I will give you suggestion upon to your needs.

Nillie,

I have asked my mom to cut off one congee, cause she needs to take more milk, Andrea goes to day care every wed and thur and will have 2 bottles of milk there. We'll resume to our "normal" life tomorrow, friday, will see if my mom really "co-operates" with me, you know... moms always got their own ways

I don't know what's wrong with Andrea, she got a cold last week and just finished all her medicine today, but still caughing sometimes, the pedi said it's because of the change of weather as she got airway allergy. Tonight after she fell to sleep, she caughed so bad that she vomitted twice seriously (everything from few hours ago came out) in less than 3 hours time, so scary, do you think I should bring her over to the pedi again tomorrow?

elmolly,
I don't suggest to go back to peds right now. As peds can't do much this moment.
As Andrea just recover from a cold, she may throw up after cough, that is very common.. sometimes, we love to see that, as kids just vomit all the sputum which they swallowed while they coughed a while ago.
I will observe for a little bit longer..
Check the way she breathe, does she use her chest to breathe( that she needs to breathe with her chest muscle)
Does she still have fever over 101F
Does her noses very congested?
How about the cough sound.. ? barking cough? chesty cough?
When you hand held Andrea.. will you feel the wheezing while she is breathing?
IF you find them.. then you need to bring her back to Peds right away..

Nillie,

ok, this is the 3rd time I'm typing the message.. stupid BK

Andrea vomitted twice again this morning, as the pedi she visits will be off from tomorrow till Jan 2, so I brought her back just to pay safe and to be 安心 for the holiday :loveliness:

arr... actually I don't know how to differentiate the cough sounds, but I do hear the wheezing when she breaths. The pedi said she's recovered from the cold so her appetite is back, however, her stomach and intestines are not completely ready, so she vomits if there's any stimultation. He asked me to feed Andrea only half full in these 2 days... my poor girl, she just LOVES eating

Christmas is on the way, do you need to work on christmas and christmas eve? It's the first christmas with Gabriel:lol

Elmolly,
More skin to skin will help Andrea to recover **smoothly** because you will not over-fed Andrea.

I am off at X'mas eve and X'mas.. this year.. my manager did me a favour this year.. instead.. I work on New year eve and New Year..which I don't really care.. new year is not an important day for us.

We have 3 X'mas gatherings with friends and relatives this year.. especially Gabriel born after X'mas.. we will celerbate it all together.

I have set up all lights, outdoor and indoor decoration weeks ago.. big X'mas tree with all ornaments .. Amanda is a good helper this year to help me put the ornaments on the tree.. Surprise me that.. Gabriel did not touch the tree, ornaments, not either the gift under the tree.. {thanks god}..
What will you do with your daugther in X'mas..

hihi Nillie_Mami, we are flying to Taiwan tomorrow attending my friend's wedding.....I bought tickets and accommodation to Prague (Czech Republic) 1.5 yrs. ago. I didn't use it this year because I was pregnant and have to finish the trip by March 2008. My sister, her husband, her sister and mother in law will go with us. However, I am still wondering whether I should go because I am afraid that I will break Isaac's daily pattern, such as sleep at around 8:30pm (asia time)....Isaac will be around 6 months by March, do you think whether he will be ok by that time? I have the following concerns : (1) breaking Isaac's pattern
(2) he will be uncomfortable for the long flight (14 hours from HK to England and then 2 hours from England to Prague)
(3) too cold for him and he can enjoy the sightseeing
(4) we won't be able to enjoy the trip as well....

Thank you!!! I really need your advices because I am not sure whether I should go....but on the other hand....I don't want to disappoint my sister and other relatives.
Thanks again and by the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

hey Isaac mom,

I went to Japan with Andrea when she was around 6 months old, so can share a bit with you

(1) breaking Isaac's pattern - yes, definitely will

(2) he will be uncomfortable for the long flight (14 hours from HK to England and then 2 hours from England to Prague) - not sure for such a long flight, it was 5/6 hours to Japan, Andrea get fussy sometimes, I skin to skin to comfort her and she fell to sleep quick in this way

(3) too cold for him and he can enjoy the sightseeing - too cold is not a problem can dress him more, but 6 months is still too young for sightseeing in Andrea's case

(4) we won't be able to enjoy the trip as well.... - haha, well, you'll enjoy the trip as a chance of 親子, other than this, it's terriblely tired unless you go with your maid, don't expect you can get much from Prague.

Hi moms,

I gave birth on Dec 22. My baby boy was weighed 5 lbs 11oz. My milk flow came in on the third day. After I BF him( BF each side 15 mins), he’s still looks hungry, so I top up with formula. He can eat 50 to 70 ml each time. Then he looks satisfy and goes to bed. He can sleep for 4-5 hrs with BF milk plus formula.

Q1) Is that mean I don’t have enough milk?
Q2) I see him sleep so well with BF milk plus formula, so I didn’t wake him up to BF. That means I didn’t BF him every 2 – 3 hrs. Is that ok? I heard people said baby could gain weight if they sleep longer.

I drink 豬脚花生湯 everyday. (肥死 Lu)
When can I be a 100% BF mom? Anything I did wrong?

Isaac.cheng,
去Czech同我哋返香港個trip 一樣....
我哋喺Amanda 7個月大返HK.. 坐飛機就冇乜問題, 因為Amanda係坐自己嘅infant car seat (長途短途我都一定book 位俾Amanda,因為我冇可能全程抱住佢呢).. Amanda 坐20hours (indirect flight . stopped at 温哥華).. 瞓咗16個鐘.. 醒時換吓片, 食嘢, 餵奶之後又瞓返.. 只係jetlag令佢病咗.. 我好心痛囉

1. routine .. forget about it.. it will be all screw up.. 你要有心理準備
2. 你要帶定extra toys, diaper, baby food, clothes(氣流會令BB疴清疴淨..) 如果你冇幫isaac買位, 記得帶baby carrier, even 多relatives 同行, BB因為唔慣, 可能只黏實你架!
3. 去causeway bay time square Nautica (about USD90)or baby Gap(USD60) 睇吓有冇infant overall (1piece) snowshit, 係抓毛入面, 80% down, 防風防水防雪.. 入面只需要著一件連身100% cotton 衫加襪仔, 零下10度都冇問題.. BB車要有防風膠.. baby carrier 係best option. sightseeing 唔啱infant, 但你冇理由留喺hotel 唓.. 如果你唔cancel 個trip, 就只有為BB保暖.. check 定當哋ER喺邊為上策
4. BB會好sticky, 你要有心理準備.. 但有家人同行, 大家一齊分工喇

sze_mama.
As you have letdown, you should stop top up with formula from the date you feel the milk flow click in.
Also, infant on the 1st month of life should be fed at least 6-8 times a day, for 100% BF baby, you will feed infant at least every 2 hours or even feed on demand.
Many infants need to be fed every 1.5 hours.
I would suggest you to stop doing it( top up with formula) once you read this message.
That is very *unhealthy* for your infant.
Certainly, you will have good sleep, but on the other hand, you will not establish good milk flow.
At the initial period, breasts need to be stimulate either sucking or pumping every 2 hours for serveral days to weeks until you have your engorgement.
When you experience your engorgement, then you need to feed more frequently to send this signal to your brain, to increase your milk flow.
It is not too late to correct it.. so, it is depend on you.. you want to have good sleep, or to be a 100% breast feed mom
For diet, you can check the message from beginning, we have discuss about the diet many times!
Congratulation!

Sze_mama,

If you want to be a 100% BF mom, you must BF your baby every 2-3 hours exclusively skin to skin. If he or she does not seem to be full, you can just BF longer and more frequent. It helps to build up your milk flow. If you keeps top up with formula, your baby can sleep longer but you will never be able to be a 100% BF mom because your body does not receive the signal to make enough milk. Moreover, for baby under 1 month old has to be nursed 6-8 times per day. You need to wake your baby up for feeding. You are right that baby sleep longer can gain more weight but if the baby does not eat enough, it's a problem. The digestion system and immuze system need to develop with the help of frequent feeding.

At the first 1-2 months, it's really exhausted for a BF mom, feed the baby every 2-3 hours, feed herself well and rest. But, if you want to be 100% BF mom, it's a must to nurse the baby skin to skin every 2-3 hours. Supplement with formula is okay at the beginning before your milk comes.

hihi Elmolly, thank you for sharing. I just came back from Taiwan. The trip is good and Isaac behaves good too. But we won't be able to go out with friends because Isaac needs to sleep at around 9:00. We attended my friend's wedding and stayed in Hotel most of the time. I didn't bringmy maid with me, so it's extremely tired.....I think I will bring my maid to Prague if we decide to go...if not, it's meaningless since we won't be able to see much in Prague.
