Feed

my son will be turning 6 months old in 2 months. i was wondering what are the solids i should start introducing him to? whether it’s those puréed food in a jar or soft boiled veg is better? what is the suitable amount of milk should he be drinking once he starts solid as well?

We tried to maintain the milk intake in the beginning as baby didn’t really eat that much. We started with Gerber oatmeal and then bottled purées.

3 months old suddenly drinking less milk

My LO is now 3 months old. Suddenly for the past 1 week. He started drinking lesser breastmilk. He used to be on 130ml per feed and 6 feeds per day. Now he drinks only 90ml to 100ml and only 5 feeds per day. He is feeling ok, otherwise cranky at times. We tried to continue feeding him the remaining after 30mins still he didnt want to. My wife is super stressful now, anyone facing same problem?

3mo, probably teething stage? They tend to drink lesser due to discomfort from their gums during teething. Same goes for growth spurt, they will drink more than usual intake.

Any book recommendations

I’m 10 weeks into my first pregnancy. I find myself glued to my screen. Haven’t been feeling brisk enough to get out for a walk or to socialize. I’ve been reading some pregnancy related books. But for a change would like to check if there are any light hearted books other than fictional stories that you found comfort in especially during your pregnancy journey.

I really liked Cribsheet by Emily Oster!

LO cannot sleep on her own

Hello! FTM here. Is it normal for LO to keep flexing arms during sleep? LO is currently 2.5 months. We tried to swaddle her but she dislike it so much that she would scream or cry out loud until we remove the swaddle. She is a freestyle sleeper lol .. However if we didnt swaddle her, she would flex her arms around when she is gonna sleep (which she couldn't sleep of course with her arms flexing around) and often needs help (e.g. People to pat her or people to carry her first n then put down onto the bed when in deep sleep) to get to sleep. And again, in the middle of her sleep, her arms would then flex around and she wakes herself up and cry. The only way to make her sleep longer is to put her on our chest. She loves to sleep on our chest but we do not want to make this a habit for her..

Yea get her used to it try when she’s in a good mood

Help! My lil one has a block nose that I couldn't clear.

Please kindly share more information about this. My baby girl is 3 months and 11 days and she has a clear situation of blocked nose. I've tried applying saline solution/use a nasal aspirator and went to the PD which gave a medication to add into her milk which honestly I don't see the effect of her nose clearing up at all. Its getting very worrying when she squirms a lot and walk up bursting into tears in the night when she is trying to sleep. Any ode

Try Happynoz patches? It works pretty well for my LO when she has trouble sleeping with blocked nose.

Sleep regression?

Is it sleep regression? LO currently 3.5 MO. For the past few weeks she slept at around 930pm after drinking close to 120ml eBM and then slept till next day around 11am ish (wake for milk again at 2am and 6am - quite fixed). However today she fights sleep (no matter how we pat her/coax her), refused milk, and only managed to sleep at 1130pm. Moreover her naps are getting shorter - only slept for 30 mins max, sometimes only 15mins and always wake up crying.

Hi mommy, you may check if the baby has colic. Or sometimes, the baby just changes mood. If in case, you may try checking with the pediatrician to make sure nothing is wrong

3 month old pooping 4/5 times a day

Is pooping 4-5 times a day (in a 24hr span) normal for a 3 month old? My daughter is on fm and sometimes ebm as well (defrosted & warmed) Poop is normal? And don’t think it’s watery. She’s drinking, playing, interacting well just wondered if frequency of 4-5 times a day is too many in a day #firsttimemom #advicepls

Very tired after IFC

My LO of 2months old just started his first day at IFC. Send him at 9.30am and pick up at 5.30pm. He came back and have been sleeping all the time even tho his feeding usually is 2 hourly. He did nap in school and teacher said he was doing well. Should this tiredness be a concern? #firsttimemom #advicepls

From what time to wht time does he usually sleep for after he come back from IFC?

Excessive crying

Hello fellow mommies, I need your kind help (if you experienced similar encounters) my LO has been crying excessively when the clock strikes 7pm and it will last till 9ish pm most of the days. It might be witching hours or colic, I'm not too sure... but it tires all of us out ... we take turns to soothe but it's so high pitch... We tried bringing LO downstairs for walks but he cries even harder T.T What should i do #firsttimemom #advicemommies

Maybe you can try staying at home by 7pm, and close the windows and make sure LO is near you at 7pm or best carry LO around this timing. By 8pm u can try open the windows again and put LO down
