you have not gone back to work? how old your baby?
For mine, he is sleeping about 8hrs on one feed. You might want to try to give your baby more milk when he / she sleeps at night. How much are you feeding your baby at night?
how much is your boy drinking now?
2hrs is indeed short for you to even rest at all!
You may wanna try giving more during the day or the last feed at night. Babies are smart, they can 'store calories' by drinking a little more and wake up less in the night esp after 4th mth.
When are you going back to work? I am going back in 2 weeks'time!

wow there are still mums that are still looking after your babies. Saluate to you. How many other sept mums are still staying at home?
For the rest, how are you coping with leaving the baby at home? My baby is still on EBM.

due to some special arrangement, my leave got splitted up into 2 parts. hence i;ll start work in march.
my son is 4.5 months and is very fussy. his stomach is very weak despite on full BM since birth. he's only taking 110ml and will last 2 hours. anymore, he will refuse to drink or will vomit out the milk, there;s no way to force anything down on him if he does not want.
he had very bad colic after his first month, all the way till recently its getting better.
newbie: u r v v lucky that ur son can sleep 8 hrs at abt 4 mths age....i have heard of some boys who still cannot sleep thru the night even at the age of 3!

My boy is having slight fever. He will be having his 6months immunisation on 30th Mar.
Ya my boy is also playing with his milk nowadays, he has mastered the skill of using the tongue to force the teat out from his mouth. He will use his tongue to wrestle with the teat.
How do you coax your baby to drink? For me, I just let him "starve" till he is really hungry. Anyway the doctor instruct was not to feed him too much. Apparently at 4months old, we are only suppose to feed them about 700ml each day.

my princess wld also push out the teat. i wld jus let her sit up and burp her and carry on to feed.
now i reduce from 6oz to 5oz of milk.

Hello,
Long time never come in here hehe...
Are you all still fully breastfeed your baby? My baby lost his appetite recently don't know why... sometimes got to force him to drink, sighh...
Any of you feed your baby with FM? My supply not sufficient once started working so gotta get my baby to get used with FM before i go dry hahaaa... I tried my baby on nestle nan but he vomitted after drinking and also got constipation the very next few days. Yesterday bought similac, haven't tried yet...
When can we start our babies on cereals?

ya still feeding expressed milk to baby. However he refuse to latch on anymore. *sad*
yes, baby at this stage tends to drink lesser. According to the PD, they are only supposed to drink about 700ml a day.
According to the PD, its is recommended that we feed the baby on milk till the age of 6mths. In any case, from experience from other mummy, feeding cereal and semi-solid food is going to be a very messy affair.

My son is weighing 8.5kg at 4 mths old. i think its abit overweight.
Anyway my boy always reject milk in the afternn.. he only drink 3 Oz. Sometimes he will finish his milk for 5 Oz..
Now he is 4.5mths, he is able to flip on his tummy. he is lift his butt high high.. and move in a circle...
I always make him sleep at 12am when he is taking his milk at 11.40pm. He will sleep thru out to 9.30am.. But i will get up 7.30am to make milk for him to drink when he is still sleeping..
So that when he can drink finish his 5 oz milk at 12pm.

700ml? that quite little right? Based on my P's formula, it is 5 oz for every kg.
So 5kg x 5 oz = 25oz (750ml)
But my baby sill drinks below that...she takes abt 600ml a day...refuse to drink more...Is it boys drink more? I see all the baby boys here are over 8kg...my princess is only 5.5kg...
She just had her 4th mth 5 in 1 and rotavirus today...now having slight fever.

ya according the the PD that our baby should be drinking about 700ml a day.
My boy is drinking alot more than that. so need to try to control his intake of milk.
U should be considered very bliss to have a baby that small. Its definately alot easier to carry around.
