Just wonder if you like Winie the Pooh as well? I'm a super fans of pooh pooh and now hayhay also loves poohpooh (coz he see different poohpooh at home everyday ma )
sandythepooh,
I also found my milk supply decrease after being sick. But it recovered after 1 week. don't worry.
My Hoi CHing also wake up at 4am asking for milk in the last 3-4 days. Think it's normal for teething baby. The lower 2 are already out and so far so only bite me 2 times.
Hoi Ching likes eating so much she will grab the banana/cake/chopstick from my hand and put into her month. . .
I also love Winnie the pooh very much. I let Hoi Ching to play with Pooh Pooh and Tigger and she likes them.
Sandy,
I do love Winnie the Pooh! I have a Disney one, my husband has a Classic one, Caron a cloth material one.
Laputa,
Usually how many days the teeth will come out? It's second day Caron wakes up several times a night... I couldn't sleep well and I already have a cold...
Take care of yourself coz the weather turns cold again!!!
My milk cutting program is now on process but the progress is not quite okay... I switch my pumping program from morning, lunch hour, before sleep to morning, afterwork, before sleep... but in the first few days still very 'hard' and 'guk'...
but now abit okay.... still the milk supply is nearly the same...
coz Joshua now has two meals of congee... plus soup and water... so he consumes less milk now... and therefore I think this is a good time for me to quit BF...
I can see two little teeth (lower incisors) in his mouth .... very happy of it... coz Joshua is now entering into another stage of life... and he likes congee very much...
Paulina
P.S. I also like pooh pooh and his friends very much... I have the pooh pooh doll from disneyland and the cushions (tigger, piglet,...) and alsot he door lock covers... also from pooh pooh...
PoohPooh MaMa,
Well, I guess it's a continuing exercise. I remember Hoi Ching starts waking up/crying in the night around 10 days before I found her teeth out.
Take Care!!
Paulina,
2 meals of congree to Joshua? So fast. . . the nurses from 健康院 told me give only 1 meal . . .
really long time not login ..as I have started to work this week... fortunately the office is only 5-10 minutes from my home on foot...hehehey.. that why i do that job...
My Joshua, only eat 1-2 meal rice cereal and not yet start congee... po po said it is better to start when BB around 7 months wor... my milk supply is okay..but my joshua drink little mama milk by bottle... 3 oz-4oz..however, he gain weight ....medium size...
my baby eating schedule..
4am mama milk from me
7am mama milk from me
10am-11am rice cereal
1pm mama milk fr me(back fr office)
4pm mama milk fr bottle (3-4oz)
7pm mama milk fr me
10pm mama milk fr me
1am mama milk fr me
How's your first week back to work? Are you starting a new job? I remembered when I back to work after maternity leave, I was tired and miss BB very much...... I need about 2 weeks to back to working mood and yet, still miss BB during office hour now
Joshua is tall ar...... you did a great job as you feed him every 3 hours, even during midnight. I gave hayhay lots of different food to try and he also hasn't start congee yet...... I'm too busy to buy the stuff and plan the recipe..... I plan to start maybe when hayhay's 7.5 months.
Hayhay's schedule is like this:
730am feed by mama
900am mama milk by bottle (5-6 oz)
1030am 3-4oz diluted juice + 1 piece of ricecake/biscuit
1230am 1/2 bowl of cereal + 1/3 bottle of BB food
230pm 1-2 tablespoon mashed fruit + 1 piece of ricecake/biscuit
330pm mama milk by bottle (4-5 oz)
600pm mama milk by bottle (4-5 oz)
800pm feed by mama
1030pm feed by mama (sleeping milk )
300am mama milk/formula by bottle (3-4oz)
hayhay usually sleep about 2-3 hrs during the day.....but his duration of sleeping also shorten, not sure if he's teeth is coming out which make his sleeping pattern change ?-(
Paulina, what material are you using for congee? fish, veg, pork??? Also, do you use soup or just the water as base? Do you cook the congee for the whole day (i.e. 2 meals) or cook for each meal? How do you keep the congee and keep it warm? haha, I have so many questions and I think weaning is really a big big project! Anyway, thanks in advance for your advice la
Surely, i miss my baby during the office hrs. Fortunately, my office only 5 mins walk from my Mom's home. My Joshua is taken to my Mom's home after i go out to work in the morning. I would walk back to my mom's home and feed my baby during lunch hours... .. that why i would decide to back to work...
Oh! yr baby started to eat so many kind of food lar.. my baby just trying rice cereal and apple juice or mesh only.. and plan to start congee this week...so excited when introduce new food....hehe
My Hoi Ching like congee so much she can eat a whole bowl. I/Po Po/Maid put many stuff in the congee, e.g. carrot, fish, spinash, tomato. and sometime I also add baby food from bottle, e.g. pea, (I am lazy). Just share, we used to cut the carrot/vegetable into very small piece, but Hoi Ching's poo poo still have identifiable carrot/vege. So I am afraid we have to mash all the thing. . .
sorry for the late reply coz i'm busy in check messages in 04aug mama club (we'll have home visit to nn's home this Sunday and to kam mo b's home next sunday?!) hoho...
for congee... Joshua now eats two meals per day but in the beginning, his poo poo is abit hard and so we then reduce the no. of meals back to 1 meal of congee per day...
for now (nearly 1 month), his poo poo pattern is okay and then switch back to 2 meals per day ... and he consumes lesser milk and my milk supply also drops to 15 oz per day... and I don't need to express my milk in the office anymore loooo... (the feeling is something I dunno how to describe... like steping into another stage of life... no need to be in hurry of having lunch + pump milk ... but miss the time when Joshua needed me... and so I enjoy the time I feed Joshua coz I know these days will be passed very soon... )
Back to congee... sometimes I use plain water but sometimes I use the boiled fish water to cook the congee... and I use the 'bo choi', 'choi sum', 'BB carrots', 'yolk', 'lean meat', 'fish', and dried scallop ... (of coz not all laaa.. .pick one or two things...) and the taste is really good (no need to add another salt or sugar)
cut the ingredients into very fine pieces.,,, and boil in water + rice (of coz for vegetables... u need to add in the congee not too early otherwise the vitamins inside will all be destroyed.,..)
Joshua likes it very much (he doesn't like cereal at all)...
for soup... (corns + carrots) also tastes very good
thanks for sharing...... sometimes I also glance through the messages in Aug mama club...... the turnover time is so fast and is hard to follow the messages.
It seems the mum there are good friends..... that's good
Long time no chat. Didn't view the message in Aug forum for long time. U guys are really efficient and it's getting more and more difficult to join lar.
"for drinks (pears + apple boiled soup)" just sharing, I boiled apple water before and then I told the nurse in MCH and she suggested directly give her the mesh rather than boiling it cos the vitamin will be destroyed and ends up with sweet water only. So I stop and sometimes give her apple/pear mesh and sometimes give her carrot/corn water.
Thks for your advise... and actually Joshua has started to eat congee for nearly 1 month luuuu and he enjoys to eat congee...
My mother hasn't boiled the apple/pear juice for him laaa coz he likes to eat foods more than milk... and he likes to eat fruits too... banana/papaya are his favourites...
Still BF? me too but plan to stop in end of April coz Joshua by that time will become 8.5 months la...
Do join us laaaa... we like to share our motherhood ga.
SO you've decided to stop BF in end of april . . . which brand of formula milk will Joshua have then? I am getting more and more busy and wonder if I can still continue BF Hoi Ching. I really enjoy the process.
Yes, I really enjoy the process and feel very warm when I feed Joshua too... and everytime I miss him very much coz I know my supply diminish laaaa...
But I'm thinking that as Joshua now eats solid food (semi solid)... and he drinks 3 meals of milk a day... maybe it's a good time to stop BF coz I'm busy in office and also get more time to play with him.
I've some samples of Wyeth's Promil (coz Joshua drinks s26 now for supplement) and so I'll try it loh. Maybe together with A+ by MeadJohnson also coz dunno which brand he likes.
My baby don't like congee..he refuse to eat 2 times.. and po po stop to give and just give him rice cereal and apple mesh...don't know when do my son eat other new food tooo...
As i am working a short term contract job, po po have tried to give formula to him and see his feedback.. the ans is he struggle to drink and only drink 1-2 oz .. so I think I would not stop BF him at this moment.. i would BF him as longer as possible lar as the close relationship bet'n us could not be explained..very sweet : )
My job is a bit busy and I could not logon during office hrs. Back to home, then busy at playing with the naughty baby : ).. so i could only check the forum after my son sleep...at mid night..so tired but want to know the status of all the moms and baby in the forum..hehehehehe
