Hi Zav's mummy,
How about have more frequent milk feeds but less each time? I breastfeed my bb but she has to take the bottle once or twice a day when I'm at work. I find she drinks less then so what my helper and I have resorted to is feed her more often. Also sometimes we give her rice water if she really rejects milk.
As for solids, I know a bb who LOVES her food but dislikes the spoon, so for a while she ate very little. Now her mommy gives her bread instead of rice cos that way she'll eat! Have the usual fish, veg etc..but she has them on bread, like an open-faced sandwich. Sometimes also need to entice her with biscuit etc to make her open her mouth, then quickly put the bread and stuff in 
Last time my son was a bit like that, and he survived on bread, biscuit and bananas for a while...everything else he rejected! |

I tried giving like 30-60ml of milk in between meals, but he also will reject.... Even b4 the bottle goes into his mouth, he will start kicking & crying loud... Haizzz... So I'm hoping to give more solids sinc he's rejecting milk dat much...
My boy does like bread though... Maybe I should just learn for u mummies, give him bread & biscuit with all the fish & veggies.... |

Hi Zav's mummy,
I know some might say no cheese before one year old, but you can sneak cheese into some foods to up the calcium intake. My gal eats cheese sandwich and macaroni cheese and cheese melted in rice. Maybe your boy prefers to feed himself? My daughter seems more interested in food when she gets to feed herself.
Give more liquids from cup with straw? My daughter drank very little water from sippy cup and bottle. But once I introduced straw, she drank much more. |

Hi Elaine,
Wat brand & wat type of cheese is suitable for babies??
My boy will either play with the bottle or the spoon when I try to teach him to feed himself...
My boy does drink lots of water, he just hates milk... |

My bb doesn't drink much water too but she will sip from spoon.
How to train bb to drink from straw?
For food, I try to cook her porridge with soup (pork soup/vege soup) then before I feed I let her smell to try to whet her appetite. |

Zav's mum: sorry for the late reply. I just lost my maid last week and house was tipsy-turvy till now.
I use Kraft Cheese - the normal sliced cheese from any super market? I just put the entire slice on her plate, and she feeds herself. She can easily finish one slice for supper.
I think as long as he is drinking sufficient liquids, should be good. Just try to sneak in calcium into his foods- like cheese and milk powder into oats.
For straw, I hold the cup and just put the straw into her mouth. Water must be filled 3/4 of the cup so she doesn't suck in air. Just keep trying during meal time. She'll figure out suddenly. |

Hi Elaine,
Thanx!!! I'll try giving him some cheese & see if he likes it.... Anyway, I'm giving him 2 cereal meals a day cooked with 170ml of milk each time so dat can cover some of his milk target for the day... And lucky he will finish up the cereal....
I have not started giving him the straw cup although I have the Pigeon Mag Mag cup... Guess its time I start him on the straw cup...,
So how r u coping without ur maid??? Who's taking care of ur gal now?? |

Realized I've been too dependent on maid. Good thing that came out of it is I've learnt many short cut tips from friends to tide over. I now cook my daughter's porridge in a slow cooker (lunch and dinner same) and for breakfast it's instant cereals. Snack- a slice if cheese and biscuits. Bath reduced to once a day. :P
I'm SAHM so I look after her and my elder son by myself.
Let me know how he takes to cheese! :D easy to bring out as snack. |

Haha, it's always the case when there's a maid, but when maid gone, we will be at a lost... But u will gradually get used to it...
I will give my boy lots of biscuits & bread as snacks... Lucky thing is he will eat... Realized that recently he can finished more solids than milk... So I just try to feed more cereals & porridge....
Just started giving him the straw cup today, obviously he doesn't like it... And now he's refusing to drink water even when I change back to using the sprout cup.... Haha... Guess I will need more time to train him on using the straw cup... |

Hi Zav's mummy, how is your boy now? Eating more?
I just tried teaching my gal to use the Straw cup. at first she was quite blur, and didn't know how to close her mouth around the straw--mouth was open as if she's expecting a spout/bottle teat :p
Now ok and I'm so relieved. No more worrying if the spout leaks! |

Hi mummykoh,
My boy is eating more for cereal & porridge, but not for milk... At most he can only finished 150ml 2 times a day...
I think my boy knows how to suck fr the straw... Coz when I started giving the straw cup to him, I can see some water being sucked up the straw... But after a while he refused the straw cup, not sure if its so difficult to suck fr the Pigeon mag mag straw cup.
Wat brand r u using for the straw cup?? I think I read somewhere dat some mummies commented that its very difficult to suck fr the Pigeon mag mag cup. So I was wondering if I should change the cup... |

Hi Zav's mummy,
I just changed the drinking tool- without maid I find cleaning the straw a hassle. I changed to cup with spout that flows freely- the cheap kind. Brand less. She still chokes a bit but drinks much more because the flow is faster.
May I know if any of your babies have transitioned to one nap yet? |

Mommies, I personally tried Mag Mag sippy cup and it's really not easy to suck. So I changed to Combi. Sigh.... But my bb refuses to drink from it.
I cAn only feed her from spoon.
For cake, I ordered from Pine Garden. The cake is so pretty! |

Hi mumsykoh,
My boy refused to drink fr the pigeon straw cup, so I guess I gotta find another straw cup for him to try...,
Hi Elaine,
My boy is using the Pigeon Mag Mag sprout cup... And he prefers this sprout cup rather then learn to use the straw cup...
My boy is taking only one nap now. Coz he wakes up late in e morning, so his nap time is late afternoon for abt 2-3hrs... |

Mommies, my girl will walk a few steps without support now. She will practice walking in her playpen and she will fall and laugh. So funny.
My girls daily schedule:
8am milk
12.30 lunch
1.30 - 2 fruit
3.30 milk
6.30 dinner
11 milk
Sometimes 4-5 am she will still ask for milk
I really have no idea how to teach her to drink from straw. Any good tricks to share? |

My daughter also used the MagMag straw cup. It was very successful. Got my son to act out drinking in front of her in an exaggerated manner. I kept trying during meal times and one day she just got the water out and laughed. Then kept pratising at every meal. I changed to spout (without suction) only because it's easier to clean.
630am: Breastfeed
7am: cereals/ bread
930am: Breastfeed
12pm: lunch (porridge)
1pm: 4oz formula
3pm: cheese
5pm: dinner (porridge)
630pm: Breastfeed
7pm: sleep |

hi. My girl can walk independently for a short distance but not very confident yet.
I bought the Combi cup with the straw insert and it works great. Better than Mag Mag I feel which my elder one used last time. Looks nicer too 
I feel there is no need to really "teach" - I just let her play and bite the straw, then suddenly she sucked up some water and found it interesting. From then on, she start sucking with straws. Last time, my elder one was not too keen on water so I put in some soya bean milk in his cup and when he sucked the soy up, he had the incentive to try again. You can try with juice. |

Hi Mummies,
Is anyone enrolling the lil ones in pre -nursery next year? I checked a few places and found they only accept kids at least 2.5 years old..which means I can't register my gal this year. And by the time I can register her, places are mostly taken up and she'll be on waitlist!
Don't remember having the same problem with my son last year (he's also an Oct baby).
Am now wondering if I should just enrol my gal in Nursery in 2014 and let her play at home next year instead... |

hi Shopper Mummy,thanks for the suggestion. interestingly, my bb gal was playing in the playground near home when a staff fr one centtr spotted her. she asked my helper to tell me to enrol my gal there!
but I just checked it online..it's an infantcare full day programme. too much lah..I just want my gal to socialise and get helper some breathing space for a few hrs once or twice a week.
any mummies with gd playgroups to recommend? I am even considering forming one...lately I hear my helper getting q fiercwith my gal..though I know she IS cheeky and can beclingy and whiny..so thought maybe some hrs away from home might help us all! |

Hi Rosyrabbit,
I haven't managed to find any playgroup nearby..all I have around me are childcare! Any pre-nursery classes available are for children at least 2 years old.
I'm at Serangoon, pm me? maybe we can meet up My girl loves the playground too, will take her shoes to indicate her wish to go out every evening..Her highlight of the day now is waiting for her brother to come home from school. Will happily wait downstairs and greet children in uniform when they come home! |
