congratulations to all BF mom! It seems like our toughest time has passed! Everyone can keep BF without any problem now!
My bb eats a lot of my frozen milk by using bottle these days when I go to work. 2 days ago, she managed to drink 12 oz!! So I've to ask my helper to give her some cereal first and then feeding the milk. She still can drink 9 oz!! Right now, I still have to feed her during midnite, quite tired!
In general, she loves eating, she has no problem in eating all kind of fruit, banana, papaya, apple and carrot.
Congee water? Can they have that now ? so small?
When my daughter was 4 months she already tried congee water, I put it in the bottle for her and she like it, and also last week I tried to give her some congee with some very soft rice, seems she can eat it and she feel very comfortable with it, and she keep asking for more.
As I said my 99 always add the congee water into my milk for her to drinks and she said she like to drink my milk with the congee water, if she don't add the congee water she can't finished it. I don't know why? My 99 said maybe the congee water smell good so she like it. I also tried to give her carrot and banana mashed, she also love it, I think she love to eat.
hi calamus,
oh yeah.. the poo poo is really different from only BF. My bb has poo poo every time giving her the cereal so I stop giving her cereal for a while.
I think you should consistent not to feed him during the night. I also just let her cry during the night around 2 - 3 am and then she will wake up only around 7am so I think they just want comfort.
my bb also loves eating solid food but my helper manages to make her eat 9oz when I'm not at home. I also wonder whether I should pump out since she didn't eat much and I still have a week's stock at the fridge! Do u know whether the milk will decrease if not pumping out?
I didn't use Milk to make cereal. Is it necessary? the one I bought just say I can use water.
I also want to skip the pumping in office in the morning since don't like pumping in the toilet.
my bb 2 is quite small. She didn't grow much either. Her weight is only 7.3 kg and 62.5cm long when she's 6mth old. Not sure it's my milk problem. My sister asked me to try giving her formula to see if she can grow better.
She eats a lot today. 1 meal cereal in the morning and then mashed potato in the afternoon and just finished 8oz frozen milk b4 sleeping. Then after a while, she wakes up again and I've to BF her a bit to make her fall back to sleep.
I don't know If my Kristin is small or not, but yesterday I saw a bb she is only 4.5 months, and she already got the same size of mine. The grandma said the bb is 15lb.
Kalle,
How many oz per meal does your baby have, Kristin is having 5.5oz each time and she have 2 time while I am at work. Her meal time is 11:00am (frozen Milk)1:00pm (congee), 4:00 (frozen milk), 5:15(congee).
between 7-8 she will have fresh Ma Ma milk and B4 sleep as well.
Callista will have cereal at 11 am ( when I'm working ) and then 7-9 oz frozen milk b4 afternoon nap around 1pm. 3:30 pm (fresh milk ) but not eating much now since she ate a lot at the previous meal. 5:30pm mashed potato. 7-8 (fresh milk) + frozen milk (5-6oz) since it seems my milk is not enuf for her.
Do u have experience that she cries again an hour after putting her sleeping?? I've been up BF her 3 times until 1am last night. I don't know whether she's hungry or not, but when I put her to my breast, she wants to suck!! I'm really driven to crazy soon!! :-(
I'm still pumping 2 times at work, but each time less than 3 oz.
My baby eats congee at 10:30am and then 5-7 oz milk at 2:30pm. At 6:00 I feed him cereal or congee. I make the cereal with my frozen milk but he can't eat much at this time. I also feed him some fruit mud. Then I'll BF him at 10:30pm and then the next morning at 6:00am.
Sometimes I pump or BF the babyat 7:00pm. I think if we want to keep the milk amount, we need to keep pumping.
My baby is quite big. I think he is around 20 lbs. He now has 4 teeth. Luckily, he does not bite me when I BF.
Can u tell me what time your bb sleep at night? Do u try keeping her up until 10:30pm?? my bb wants to sleep around 8:00pm but always cries every hour. I can only sooth her by BF again & again! So i've big "black circle" around my eyes!! v. sad... :-(
