Hi
You have to be brave for your kids... i realised you are also staying in woodlands... if u need someone to chat... can watsapp me at Phyllis 98200644... guess we should be ard the same age group... me 33 with 3 kids...
My boy is 6 months now and throughout my pregnancy with him, i only gain 5 kg and he's born 3.3kg. Ultimately, the focus should be on the baby's growth and not on the mummy's weight gain. Hope this helps.
I think its purely up to you as long as you introduce one new food at a time to ensure there is no allergy and the food is evenly pureed for the baby to swallow esp fish & meat. I personally use the double boil method to prepare the porridge but you might want to put every thing in the blender...
When my boy is about 2 weeks old, he take 90ml BM for every 2.5 to 3 hours / 90 ml FM for 3.5 to 4 hours. So it might not strictly be 60ml cos some babies have bigger appetite and i dun think ru yi yu cant apply for babies, just have to make sure don't apply at the umbilical cord area.
The same with my boy who is 5 month plus now. So i let him lay on my chest after milk and rub his back and quite effective and doesn't wake him up as well.
At this time, should be taking around 90ml - 100ml for 2.5 - 3 hrs. It depends on individual babies too... last time my gal (now 5 yr old) take 60ml every 2 hours. Small eater so frequent feeds. My boy is now 5 months, take 120 ml every 3 hours when he was 6 weeks old.
My boy is coming to 5 months old, drinking 170ml at around 10pm....then wakes up around 2 - 3am for 150ml & 6.30am for another 150ml and sleep until 8 plus. I guess its pretty normal for them to wake up more if they take in lesser amount of milk. So got to keep our fingers crossed and hope that...
I think its quite normal if he's a first time dad, my hubby also did the same when i had my gal 5 yrs back and it was really quite unbearable cos i got to do everything myself and he just do whatever he like and goes out with his friend as and when he wants. He only really starts to realise that...
