yupz...but don;t think i will give everyday...
janvivy: ooo.. i read too fast.. i thot u talking about barley water... u meant HT barley cereal is it?
when sheryl ate HT barley cereal, she will poo once a day but its harder compared to drinking barley water.. so i think barley water seems more effective..
heehee.. pai seh.. pai seh.. can ignore my earlier posting..

Jsmurf,
Just gotta saw your post sometime... I am one of those here tends to MIA at times so pls forgive if I may reply late.
can check, is this your 1st kid or? How long has your wife been a SAHM & earlier she has been working for how long before she quit? Why I am asking is there could be alot of factors arising.
Practically, I am SAHM for about 2years. I have 2 lovely princess. When I quitted my job due to pregnancy complications, its has been a long transition just having to change my cycle. Been SAHM is also a job to us, having to fulfil all the needs & wants by this family. Outsider & family members are watching us so I can believe the pressure she is having.
You have done a great job in helping her so don't feel not doing enough & you gotta fulll time job to hold & trying to give the best for this family. I am used to felt my HB cant help me much though he try his best to help too. So end up we prefer to do it ourselves cos we are faster than man hehehe.
Maybe true to get ur wife in the forum if she is comfy. OR even she can make more SAHM friends too and share.
Some little ideas you can try to spend with your wife.
1) Try getting a once a mth dating for just both of you without the kids. This helps! Cos working out for me & HB.
2) Communicate. VERY important though It can be so simple.
3) Try get the butt out of the house whenever not working like spending little time eating out. Even simple meal can do great cos its the OUT of House thingy SAHM would love to have it.
4) Allocate a little sum to let her have her own buying of clothings, dressing up bah. Don't have to be huge amount. Sometimes its the... heart that counts
as SAHM will tends to feel forgo a job is a lost of income, earn power & having to be jealous of what others having whilst she cant.
Hope my post not too long for you. also hope its helpful bah... just my own point of views as I have gone through all these transition before.. its tough to get through but just need more time.

<font color="aa00aa">Morning feifei!
Just finished reading all the posts, super long man! I'm more lucky coz my MIL help me to do most of the spring cleaning. hehe... She rather let me take care of the 2 monster and she do the housework. I think my MIL was too tired of taking kids. hehe..
So, this week i just need to clean up my room and guest room.
Angel,
So far my #1 dont make noise lah, coz everytime we'll pre-alert her whom she'll be sleeping with on tat nite. Then now she'll 'automatic' asking us "i'll sleep with who tonite?"
We had this arrangement where, my #2 will sleep with me when my hubby is on nite shift and when hubby is off. And if hubby on morning shift then , #1 will sleep with us till hubby is off on next day. So basically my #1 only sleep with us for about 7-10days in a month.
TF,
Is nice to see you are back to the forum. Masean is a brave boy, and you must take care of urself as well as Masean will need you to care for him.
Re: Milk Intake after cereal
Can mummies share on your babies milk intake after started taking the cereal and fruits puree?
Coz i have some conflict over this issue with my MIL. I have been feeding my girl 2 S26 scoops of cereal mix with 60ml EBM. And this has resulted my girl on 'milk strike' for almost 5-6hrs. She just refused to drink any milk after that. So my MIL was reluctant to give her 2 scoops of cereal, and want only to give one scoop coz her rationale is milk is more nutritious. So, can any mummies advise me whther the portion is given is ok or not? And does your baby skip one milk feeding? </font>

i see..good wor... =)..at least not so tired leh..taking care of 2 kids no joke lor..
Re : milk feed skipped..
Err..I not very sure leh, cos 2 scope of S26 = 60ml?or 120ml? if 2scope is =120ml + 60ml or EBM = 180ml liao wor..then she mnight be still too full wor..normally when is her next feed aft takinge cereal?
For me, I onli give my ger 5scope of cereal + 1 pear in the morning, then 4hrs later she will be having her porridge.Then 4hrs later her BR + Fm lor.. I dun give milk after cereal, instead, I add into her cereal lor..Say HT barley cereal 5scope + 2 scope of FM + 1 pear, this can last her 4hrs..

Re: Walker
My #1 also was placed in the walker. Easy on the Mom...less backaches. He seldom walk on tip toes. If he does, we will say - No tippy toes and he will stop. Now, recycling it for #2. Not to sure about it delaying walking coz my #1 walked before his 1st birthday.
Mag - For me, I will give cereal and intro new food. If can mix into cereals like carrots, fish, tofu, etc then will just mix. As for avacado, I treat it as dessert. As for poo, I am also like that coz it tells us a lot about the well being of our precious.
TF - So happy to hear that Masean is recovering well. Keeping him in my prayers! Take care of yourself too.
BabyCupid - Loi Her is Threadfin. Haven't intro fish or meat yet though.
Felicia - For my #2, after feeding her her lunch, she will be wailing for milk in an hour or so. For 4-6 months old, 4-5 feeds & for 7-9 months old, 3-4 feeds.

<font color="aa00aa">feifei,
I nvr measure the scoop before, but i think is around 30ml per scoop. So total is 60ml, plus 60ml ebm , total is 120ml. Normally we fed her cereal at around 12noon, then she'll only drink milk at around 6pm. Tats 6hrs gap. Her normal milk intake is 160-170ml.</font>

Before started on cereal, my ger is hvin 6 feed of BM per day. Now drop to 5 feeds, so i assume is normal. But not sure how to convince my MIL that cereal is oso nutritious. She always think that milk is the most nutritious food lor. So when my girl drop her milk intake, she feel uneasy and she actually want to feed my ger one scoop only. *sigh*</font>

Hi TF!!! GReat to see you back!
Feifei, there are several characteristics of sprirted bbs but the one that I recall the most is that they know what they want, and they will not be easily coaxed into accepting a substitute. They will make their demands know and they are very focused when they want something. From my experience, because it is hard to tell what Matthew wants as he cannot speak, he tends to get frustrated when he cannot get his point across. Matthew likes my mom, me and my hb. He doesn't quite like the maid because the maid is not sensitive enough to his body language - she doesn't know what he wants. It's quite obvious - his dislike.

feifei, I recall there are 4 types of bbs according to Baby Whisperer. Textbook, Touchy, Spirited and something else (sorry, I forgot).
Yes, I bought blueberries from NTUC. Must choose the big ones.. they are sweeter. I would peel the skin off, then mash.
Yah, for a long time, Matthew was 50th percentile for height, and 90th for weight. He was born 50th for both, but by 1st month, was 90th percentile for both. 2nd month, he was 90th for weight, 50th for height and remained that was until recently.. I was so worried he would be a shortie!

I thought so too initially. so I gave him "new" food - like potato, porridge, peach etc but he still didn't want to eat. I gave him food that he used to like but he also refused.
can teething cos food refusal? and how long will it last?
Cactus,
the last type is angel - wonder if it really exists!

Crystal, I think it's normal to have a bit of other characteristics and not have our bbs fit into just one. My boy is predominantly spirited but he is a little touchy too. 
babycupid, my bb's milk feed is also still the same. about 3 to 4 hours apart. it's good that our bbs are drinking more milk than taking feeds because milk is still very important to them at least up to 1 year old.

feifei, I'm rather short. Only 1.56m. My hb is tall though - 1.82m. I think it's very sad if boys are short loh. girls short never mind but if a boy is say, 1.6m or so, cannot make it.. so I was worried for some time that Matthew will be a shortie like me. he has a very broad chest though, and long limbs, so hoping he will be like his dad.

BabyCupid, you mentioned that the milk intake has decreased but feeding frequency remains the same? It sounds like every 2 to 3 hours is quite frequent. Is your bb very active? Or go under the sun often? If it is, then maybe he is thirsty and not so hungry? Or maybe he wants to suckle for comfort? I'm just thinking a little cos 2 to 3 sounds quite frequent.. and you mentioned the milk amount has dropped.. so it can't be that he is hungry.. if he is hungry, he may drink more often, but the milk amount will increase or stay the same. it should not drop?
