hi, my 19mth-old dear son is facing a bit of a delay in his speech development, and i am quite concerned given i have not heard him mutter even "mama" or "papa" yet! :eek: It is particularly worrisome as he is not short of stimulation, almost perfectly understands what we say and has no hearing...

To supplement breast storage bags and bottles, i also got used glass milk bottles from TMC (where i delivered) and bought plastic caps from parentcraft (call for stock availability first) to cap them with. For the glass bottles, u hv to get it from the nurseries at the various levels... just...

thanks mrspuppy and ferntree, your comments are helpful & much appreciated :bcute:

Thanks, that is a good suggestion and I am doing that now. though, even so, there's a limit to how much I can add... :wong7:

hi, ever since i started my 9 mth old ds on semi-solids when he was 7 mths old, he has been steadily showing a lack of interest in milk (both formula and breastmilk), to the extent of pushing away the bottle and kicking up a fuss whenever i tried to make him finish up his 6 oz bottle - which he...

hi everyone, just to share, i introduced my ds to heinze's iron-enriched rice cereal when he turned 6 mths... an uncomplicated and safe choice to start with, imo.. having finished that w no ill effects, at 7 mths, I then switched him to nestle's "gold series" rice cereal with apple and...

my 3 mth old is also v unpredictable in his feeding, sometimes taking in 100ml at one go (after 2 - 3 hrs), some times he refuses after 50 - 70 ml and it is really heart-wrenching to see him feeding less and disposing my EBM ... :wong7: what's more worrying is that even at 3 mths, his daily...

Hi, I think my hubby got it for me off ebay for ard $300 - $400, i think seller said she has only used it for 3 months or so. i did not send it for servicing as it seem to work OK, except I changed new funnels and membranes for hygiene reasons. thankfully, it's still working fine today...

dear minami, i hv flat nipples too and "suffered" during the first few weeks trying to latch him on...sometimes i succeed, but most times, i had to express it out to bottle feed. :wong19: but don't kill urself over it - to me, what's more impt here is tt the baby is getting breastmilk into...

hihi, i don't particularly adopt any strict diet - just be moderate and not overdose, like on the caffeine, alcohol or sugars! Interestingly though, when i cut down on the spicy stuff and chillies fr my diet, the acne-like reddish rash on my bb's forehead and cheeks disappeared .... could be...

Re: Does thawed breastmilk smell & taste different from normal/ refrigerated breastmi thanks, elaine this is v helpful info indeed! :tsmile:

Hi hi, I have used both the medela mini electric as well as medela Pump In Style (original). If ur budget permits, i'd strongly recommend getting a dual pump like the PIS. it is quieter, powerful and thus, efficient. U can spend more quality time w the baby rather than trying hard not to doze...

Opted for a korean brand, Capella. Quite decent and sturdy, though a tad heavier than Combi. :shyxxx:

for the dry pi sai, i'd use cotton wool (recommend the sterile type if your baby is < 3 mths old & still rather fragile), wet it with cooled boiled water, then twirl to shape it sharp at one end to "drill" into my ds' nostril. use a new one with the other nostril.. works for me so far though my...

my ds seems to reject my BM n cry for no reason on certain occasions... hv tried various mtds to soothe him, with varying degrees of success. i wonder how strong a factor is the mummy's diet (through its effect on the breastmilk) on colic? anyone made a breakthrough by eliminating certain...
