Thanks, Nillie. I plan to introduce rice cereal to Isaac....do you think it's ok because he is only 5 months old.

Isaac mom,

I introduced solid food to my girl only when she was 6 months old.

Elmolly, I know most of the people do it when the baby is 6 months. I am just wondering if it's ok to do it a month ahead :tongue:

Isaac.cheng,
hum... it is ok if Isaac is ready.. like he can sit up with no assist, neck development is ok, able to follow instruction.. like open mouth when you feed Isaac with spoon.
I feed Amanda at 4.5 months old.. end up she is obses.. because "too early to introduce solid food".. so when Gabriel is born, I introduce solid food to him on his 6 months old, but he doesn't interest in any until he is 9 months old.. (that did drive me crazy)... but anyway, I should treat them individual as they are unique.
you can have a test drive if you want to.. ^O^

Nillie_Mami, I didn't know that a 4.5 months old baby can follow instruction, such as open mouth......Isaac definitely hasn't reached that stage yet....so I guess I will postpone the trial.....:tongue: Thanks....
What happened when Amanda became obses? Is it good or bad?

Isaac.cheng,
You should wait until Isaac is ready. My son's previous pedi suggested us to try feeding rice cereal only after he turned 6 months old (when he can sit with a little bit support, can open mouth and swallow food). The timing depends on if his tongue has been well developed for swallowing food with thicker texture. I tried with one meal in the evening and only a few teaspoon of cereal which was not thick first.

Yes, milk is still the major source of nutrition for baby before 1 years old. To feed rice cereal and baby food is just to supplement with additional nutrition and to prepare baby for solid food. I did not start giving me congee until he's 8-9 months old - no plain congee, I cook with some meat and veggie, then just feed my son with the congee (mix with some baby food or puree veggie before feeding him). Even he's almost 2 years old now, he still has milk 3 times per day, morning, afternoon snack and before bedtime. Some of my friends told me that giving rice cereal when the baby is young can help him to sleep longer. But, my son's pedi said that it does not relate and giving rice cereal in a milk bottle can make the baby chokes. Therefore, it's very important that the baby should be old enough to swallow and to sit first.:)

Thanks for the information.
When did you start traning your baby to sleep on their own and how? Isaac is almost 5 months old now. He can fall into sleep when I bf him. He will cry for it if I don't give him. Is it too early to train him to sleep on his own? I saw Nillie's message on how to train the baby to sleep on their own...she started when the baby is 6 months old....

Isaac.cheng,
Skin to skin baby always has difficulty to sleep thru the night on his/her own..
If you want to move to this step.. you better trained Isaac to use bottle at night.. when he can use a bottle (with breast milk) at night, then you can try to train Isaac with bed time training.

Hihi, Nillie, 我現在BF Isaac, but top up with formula. 我想問我準備帶Isaac現在食的明治奶粉, 究竟我應該是(a)帶夠幾個月份量, 然後轉美國牌子? 定係(b)帶多些至佢斷奶? 如果是(b), 咁請問小朋友食奶食到幾時?
Thank you for your time again.

Isaac媽媽..
我哋美國嘅小朋友mostly 到1歲後會慢慢轉飲whole milk, 只有小部分BB會由9months old轉飲new step/stage2 formula.. 而我自己都冇俾Amanda /Gabriel飲 stage2.佢哋滿1歲就轉whole milk. 你BB咁細.. 你如果要帶formula 到佢wean... 咪要帶好多?? 點解唔掉返轉叫你99 ship 啲Similac advance or Enfamil lipid 返HK, 俾Isaac飲.. so, 到你哋land 時, 可以攞少好多嘢呢.. from now to April, 夠時間check 住if Isaac can tolerate well or not嘛!
if that is not an option.. 咁你最好帶到夠Isaac 食到1歲lu

Nillie,

I guess it's because Japanese formula "seems" better than the western ones, is it true Isaac mom?

It's really not so sweet and "hot air"

By the way, Andrea will be 1 in March, my mom asked me to wean her, I'm struggling, what do you think?

Nillie, Thank you , thank you.....我真係唔知BB幾時唔再需要飲奶粉.
According to your advice, I guess I will bring enough formula until he is 1. 因為 (1)我反正有東西要ship到us, (2)唔想麻煩奶奶:tongue:
Thanks again!

Elmolly, no, I just don't want to bother others too much.
hehehe.

Elmolly,
Gabriel has his 1 year old check up and we started to add whole milk into my breast milk (1:9) for Gabriel.. to switch to whole milk..
So far.. not very successful.. as he keeps throw up after feed..
we guess .. because the whole milk is very sweet... so he tried to finish the whole bottle every time.. but then, it was over the limited in his stomach.. so he split it out... after feed everytime..
now, we have to limit him to drink 9 oz each time.. no more than that.
Last night , he was good.. and I will keep an eye today.
How about you? do you plan to switch Andrea to whole milk or just simply change to formula? as I knew the formula company has lots of products for age after 1 year old.

elmolly,
It's up to you when to wean Andrea but just like what Nillie said, moms in US usually start to introduce whole milk to baby after he/she turns 1 years old. I stopped bf Spencer when he's 10 months old (because I discovered that I had Amanda in my belly) and I gave him whole milk when he turned 1. My son's pedi told me that she weaned her 2 babies at the 13th and 15th month. She said that it's already good enough because baby should no longer depend so much on milk feeding. But, we should keep them from drinking milk until they are 3-4 years old, around 15-18oz per day at 1-2 and reducing after that.

Isacc.cheng,
Wow, you may need to buy a lot of formula!

Nillie,
Just an update of Amanda. After returned to work for 2 weeks, Amanda is sort of getting better now. My mom said that she eats more than before. She still cries, my mom always tells her that mommy has to go to work and Amanda needs to be a good girl. She recognizes my mom and is so happy to see her after the weekend (my mom does not take care of her during weekend). Now, when it's about the time of me arriving home, she will start look around the house for me. When she sees me, she waves her arms and legs and smilies at me - because she sees MILK.

She's getting bigger and holding her hurts my arms and wrists. Recently, my whole family got sick, it started from Spencer and my hubby - running nose, stuffy nose, cough.. then Amanda and me. Hope the 2 little ones recover soon, it's so hard to see them suffered.:-(

rose-mag,

how sweet Amanda is :loveliness:

umm... so you also think it's time to stop bf after 1 year old?

Nillie,

actually, what's the difference between whole milk and formula for toddler? which is better? or maybe just keep bf but only pump 2 times a day? if Gabriel can switch to whole milk, then you'll stop bf?

Hi Rose-mag, I plan to ship 20 cans formula with me. I guess it should be ok because by the time we move to San Fran., Isaac is already 8 months old.

Nillie, what is the difference between whole milk and formula? Will it be too sweet for baby? Is whole milk which you get from the supermarket? Have you warmed it before you give it to Gabriel?
Sorry, too many questions.

elmolly,
It's sort of more convenient and cheaper to give my son whole milk after he turned 1. Level 2 formula usually is said to give extra vitamins to baby as compared to whole milk but baby after 1 will take more solid food. He can gain extra nutrition from other sources of food other milk. So, I think that it's alright to start feeding whole milk by that time. Of course, if the baby like it, keep bf for a few more months is fine. I sometimes, give Spencer breast milk because Amanda cannot finish all my pumped milk.
