LO not interested in purees

Hi FTM here. I started giving my baby sweet potato puree once she hit the 6m mark but she didn't swallow, and gag a little. Next weekend I gave apple puree and she gagged. This weekend I gave potato puree and gagged again. Is it something worrying? 2 more weeks she will be 7m alr but like still not really eating pureed yet!! Thanks!

Maybe u try add a bit of breast milk or formula and make it a bit diluted first until she’s more familiar with the taste and texture

(Urgent) UV Sterilize Pacifier

I've been UV sterilizing my LO pacifier for months.. until today it suddenly hit me that maybe it cannot be UV sterilized. I went to search and really it's not recommended as it will damage the material.. Now I'm feeling so so guilty is it gonna affect my bb health using the pacifier?? Thanks..

If the pacifier is silicone material, it’s actually fine (same as bottle teats/breast pump parts). It will just turn yellow fast (so recommended to put at lower rack). Just not recommended to put latex/rubber material into uv sterilizers.

Low supply of BM

Anyone experiencing low supply of BM and menstruation started as early as 3mths from due date? Max 40ml of BM pumped in 8hrs, or 5ml/10ml in 3hrs... I drink at least 1.5litres of liquid everyday. Feeling guilty and demoralising seeing low supply of BM but others moms are complaining of having too much bm..

I also 10ml only. So decide not to stress myself n jus give whatever I hv. Spend more time w baby more impt

Hihi. How do you all sterilize silicon baby utensils? Also, how many spoons of puree do you all try to feed first? I tried last week and my bb totally don't wanna accept. :/ TIA

hihi for me, I use steam sterilizer or sterilizer tablet with water to clean the silicon utensils. the item u purchase should have instructions? I tried rice cereal, and the baby only ate a few spoonfuls.

Hello mummies, I recently just started BLW with my baby but always worry about the choking risk. Is there anyone here who can share more about their experience?

Rules of thumb that I find useful is making sure that the solid food can be easily squished with my fingers. If not, it’s not safe for my baby. Gagging is normal and unavoidable, even if you serve puréed food. If the baby looks red, the baby is fine. If the baby turns blue, the baby is choked. I always practice the chocking first aid in my mind, just in case. Keep your eyes on your baby at all time. Don’t get distracted by phone and etc. It’s not only for chocking, older baby is capable of standing up in the high chair, hence the risk of falling.

6 months baby fell down

My baby just fell from the bed and my heart sank. He cried so hard and I cried too. So far no bruise and he is active. Should I bring him to see the doc?

hi mommy. the same happened to mine. I was very upset and worried. i monitored him throughout the day and thankfully, he was back to himself after the fall, so I didn't bring him to the doctor. it's been a few weeks since the fall and so far, he is well. I hope your baby is ok ❤️

Introducing Solids

Hi.. ftm here. What is the first food you intro to your baby? Do I feed the same food for 3 days? 1 teaspoon per day? Also do we actually need to sterilize baby utensils..? Thank you.

Rice cereal, jar puree, fruit puree (5.5m) Porridge, steam carrots/veg sticks, eggs (6-7M onwards) I give different food daily. I didn’t sterilise baby utensils.

Losing Prepregnancy weight

Mummies, is it okay to fast 3 days while BF? I couldn't shed the last 8kg and I'm feeling so depressed... i got to admit I eat little but I drink a cup of zero sugar milktea (my source of happy food) to keep my sanity.. On the other hand, I am feeling so sad as I couldnt fit into my old clothing. Any recommendations to lose weight fast?

I feel u. Me too. However, weight loss isn't my priority now as it is not really possible to reduce weight while eating to bf. But i am making effort to reduce junk food and excerise more. N hope to slowly cut the weight back to pre preg in a year time.

Hello fellow mummies. After drinking alcohol, how long do you all wait to latch? Or pump and throw for 1 time? Then after that can continue feeding? TIA
