My Baby is always outside the normal range. He is only 1.96 kg at birth. Hate milk and can only drink milk when sleeing. Previously I am so worried and often cried. But now I understand that the range is only reference. As long as he is healthy and active and can follow the development, that will be blessings to me.
Now my BB is 10.5 months, although he is thin (around 7 kg only), but he is active. Don't worry and add oil!
My baby also has 3 milk and 2 congee feeds every day. But he can drink only 4-5 oz milk every fee, I will add a spoon of "polycal" to the milk (introduced by dietitian in the hospital). For congee, he can eat almost 1.5 bowls (adult bowls). Actually, I will prepare fish soup to prepare the congee (I think that it will be more nutrious and also increase the apetite of my baby).
Thank you Terrimom!
My 99 tried fish soup in congee before, I think it is too 腥 and my baby seemed not like very much.
May I know what are the ingredients of "olycal"? Is it suitable for 9-month baby? Do you think it works or not?
My baby started having solid 3 weeks ago. He loves rice cereal and can finish 1 whole bowl. But he refuse the milk afterwards, even i feed him 5 hrs after cereal. Shoulf i decrease the amount of cereal so that he drink more milk?
You may search at the internet on "polycal" and will some info on it. The dietitian said that my BB can't drink too much milk and so need to add some ingredient to increase the carbohydrate content in the milk to ensure enough energy supply.
For fish soup, did you fried the fish? (but without oil). I will do so to decrease 腥味, and will add pork, 蜜棗 and 准山 (2 times a week) to make the soup more sweet so that the BB can accept the congee. You may try try and I hope your BB can eat congee more.
When your B refuse the milk, did you try to feed him cereal then? This can check whether he is still full or he really wants cereal instead of milk.
In my opinion, if he prefer cereal instead of milk, I will let him to eat cereal to replace a milk feeding. This is better than eating nothing. But keep trying to feed him milk in the next feeding (he may get used of the cereal and switch to milk again ).
Better to purchase "iron fortified" cereal.
Yes i do. If he doesnt finish his bottle, i add the rice powder and feed him by spoon.
Actuallly the doctor suspects he has cowmilk allergy. Coz he has ezcema, puke up after milk quite often. But coz i breastfeed him most of the time and only 1 formula milk per day, we didnt see much impact.
When he started solid, cereal always mix with formula milk so more intake show greater impact. He fell out of growth chart al! Dr told us to try the special milk to see if this make the different, not sure this sell in hk tho
I also give him avocado at least 4 days a weeek. Sweet potato is better than potato, corn has low nutritions so i dont give.
My BB is almost 11 months, but just weigh 7.5kg. I am used to breastfeeding him w/o using bottle, so I dunno how much milk he drinks. I breastfeed him(both sides) @ 6am, 8am, then 1 adult bowl of thick congee @ 11am (w meat & vegetables), then breastfeed again @ 3pm. Then, 1 adult bowl of congee again @ 6pm and breastfeed @ 10pm. He only naps once @ 3-4pm (always last for 1-1.5 hours only!!)
Also, bb used to sleep during the 10pm breastfeeding, and he wakes up and cries @ 1-2am, then 4-5am. I have to breastfeed him when he wakes up until he sleeps again. Since he was born, his sleeping quality is very poor. The longest non-stop sleep only lasts for 5 hours!!! Also, he can't sleep alone. If he wakes up and finds that I am not accompanying him, he even sits up and cries loudly! I think he never sleep deeply, so he keeps having a pair of big 'panda eyes'!
I have tried my best to let him sleep and eat better, like keep a routine living patterns, cook many different types of congee/ abc pasta, etc.
What can I do to help my BB sleep & eat well? Pls help !!!!
You are a great mother as you insist to breastfeed your baby till 11 months! I know it is not easy!
From newboarn to about 5 months, my baby also has bad quality of sleep. In average he can only nap 1-2 hour in total (half an hour each time) in the day time. And woke up few times in the mid-night. 老人家話要食得訓得至長肉, 可能我b 就係唔夠訓所以唔吸收 , 錯過左生長既黃金時間。
Then from 6 months, I try to make a timetable for my bb to nap during day time. And let him sleep in the environment as at night. I think the routine works on my baby and he can nap for 3-4 hours in total.
And for feeding, now I try more varieties of food and see which food he likes. Sometimes he refuse to drink milk or drink little, I will feed him cereal or bread to substitute. Just follow his will is my way now.
olycal"? Is it suitable for 9-month baby? Do you think it works or not?
