Hi Ann, How's your baby now? Hope she's getting better. Another reason for baby to reject milk is probably due to reflux. http://www.pollywogbaby.com/refluxandcolic/refluxsymptoms.html Below is a list of symptoms of acid reflux in infants. - Poor weight gain or rapid weight gain...

Hi ValC, How's your baby now? Is she able to drink more milk now? Just a little update on my baby progress. When she was 4 months old til 7 months old, these 3-4 months are really a stressful time for me and all her caregivers (MIL, my mum, my hubby). She was totally on milk strike. And we...

Hi Sharon, I understand your plight. It's totally impossible to feed my baby when she's awake and even half-asleep. I can only feed her milk when she is fully and deeply asleep which is very frustrating and stressful for me and my MIL. The big problem is that she is already napping so little...

Hi EMQ, Thanks for ur advice. For milk intake... heehee, actually I follow the feeding instruction on the milk tin. I think it stated about 150ml (5 scoops) for 2-3 months. For 5-6 months, it should be 210ml (7 scoops). So I have this idea that as they grow, they should drink more. Haha...

Thanks piyomummy. Actually I hope my baby to drink more milk cos milk is more nutritious than cereal, right? But since she "hated" milk and loves water, so no choice lor, have to start her on cereal cos really can't bear to see her starve. Ok, I will keep trying to spoon feed her on cereal...

I finally brought my BB to a PD for checkup as she has been rejecting milk. The PD sort of "surprised" that I didn't start my baby on solids when she was 4 months old as she had been rejecting milk. He said if baby is rejecting milk means they are "sick of" of milk and may be ready to try...

Hi piyo, Exactly!! Now we totally cannot feed her when we are out. So stressed! cos it's more difficult to soothe her if she starts crying outside. Cos if it's the hunger that makes her cry, feed her, she cries even more. My MIL said she is a very difficult baby compared to all those babies...

hi mummies, I'm also one of those stressed out mums cos I'm still struggling very hard to feed my baby since 1-2 months back. She will cry and fuss once she tasted milk. The only time we can feed her is when she is asleep, what a bad habit! Initially I thought shouldn't "spoil" her. So we...

Hi flo, Ohhh... this is such an endearing scenario. Finally found out the reason why baby is fussy ya. So her molar is out? You mean her back tooth (the chewing tooth)? I thought it's usually the front bottom tooth that came out first. Haaa.

Hi Jeslyn, It took me about 2 to 3 weeks to recover (no pain while getting up, able to walk with ease, pass motion with ease etc). But I guess the healing progress varies from person to person. The nurses kept asking me to walk as much as I can after 1 day of bed rest. So by the second week...

Hi pluf, My BB also drooling alot since she is about 1 month old. But my girl also has a problem beside drooling, she keeps sticking her tongue out which is worrying. Maybe your baby is teething, so she is salivating which causes her to choke on her saliva. But do bring her for a check to...

Hi Eilene, I feel sorry for you to go through such anxiety during your late pregnancy. But I'm really taken back by your doctor's comment to ask you to go back to Malaysia for delivery when she is in charge of your pregnancy progress. I personally find this is not professional of her to...

Hi Cheryl, thanks for your reply. Does colostrum really boost your baby's immunity system? I thought of giving my baby DHA but worried it's not suitable since she is still a baby...

KT & Fabbie, ya I baby talk to her everyday and she does react happily to everyone who play & talk to her. She has 2 little cousins to talk to her everyday but she just won't burb out baby sounds. Only will shriek when very excited. Hi ypg, thanks for assuring, ya I will try not to...

I'm getting abit anxious for my baby gal. I realised my baby seldom babbles or coos. She is coming to 5 month old in 2nd June. By right, babies should coos alot right esp when caregivers are talking or playing wif them... But my baby only smiles widely and kicking her legs and moving her arms...
