Carman, hkpackage,
For the problem of poo poo, after the babies have been introduced to solid food or babies fed with formula, we need to offer water everyday. My son poo good since he's a baby, he could drink 4-6oz of water before each nap (2 naps everyday before 1 years old) and had extra water when it's hot in the day. My daughter does not poo everyday but usually no more than 2 days. My mom gives her water, soup, juice (diluted with water) and she really likes them. Sometimes, when she's frustrated during feeding, once we offer water or soup, she's happy again and keeps drinking it.
How much liquid you have given to Tung Tung and 小逸 in a day?
S-Kwok, don’t let 卓卓 falls sleep with the bottle.
First of all, he will swallow a lot of gas which makes his stomach upset and that’s why he vomits afterwards.
Secondly, if he makes it a habit to suck to sleep, it may cause teeth decay in the future.
Even though he may not have teeth now, it is not good for his gums too.
My daughter vomited every night before when she’s 4-5 months old as she kept sucking on my nipples after she fell sleep and she’s actually full.
Each time, she just seemed like vomit all the milk that she had drunken before.
Then, she felt comfortable and fell sleep.
Finally, I took her off from feeding after she felt sleep and wiped her mouth.
The trade off was that she may need to be nursed more often.
The pedi doctor said that her stomach was possibly small and she could not hold that much food.
The better way to feed her was to feed little at one time and more often in a day.
Well, it gave my mom a lot of works to feed her in the day and she’s still snack a lot now.
Sometimes, if 卓卓 still want the bottle, try to give him water instead.
At least, he will not be overfed and it satisfies his need to suck.
Hope that is useful to you.
