Anyone else whose bub is on a vegetarian diet? My LO is 7 months now, and I'm already running out of ideas when it comes to solids!

You can try blending lentils for protein?

Hi! My Luo one had a scratch and we put a plaster over her scratch. She has however spots appearing around the Area. Anyone else expericed the same situation before?

She is probably sensitive to the plaster. Also sometimes the plaster touches water and adds irritation to the skin. Usually when my LO scratches herself I will leave it to heal on its own. somehow baby scratches heal really fast. Keep the area clean and dry and see if the spots disappear. If it gets inflamed, best to seek cream from pd.

Am I feeding too much? I breastfeed my 7w old baby 99.9% of the time. We offered her the bottle ytd with 120ml. She finished it all up and 30mins later she was crying for milk again. We gave her another 30ml which she finished and an hour later she was crying (for milk I guessed) again so I offered her the breast directly. I always offer the breast whenever she cries (even after being carried or having diapers changed) Because she always drinks from the breast, im unsure how much she consumes. I'm just wondering if I should continue offering the breast whenever she cries or should I stick to a schedule?

your baby may be crying because she's tired and want to nap. monitor her wake time. for a 7 weeks old, it's not more than 1h.

My baby girl is 6 weeks old. she has learnt to lift and turn her head during tummy time on week 5 and is now trying to lift herself up (of course she's unable to do so) and move like a lil turtle. I'm not sure if I should encourage this (she's still so young) or should I stop tummy time for the time being?

It's ok to continue tummy time so long as there is always people with her. As she just learn to lift her head, just b very careful. Keep yr eyes on her.

Has anyone ever tried their own breast milk? I've not! I was wondering if breast milk tastes different from day-to-day based on the foods we have consumed?

One of my friends told us that she tasted her own breast milk so that she would have a basis for comparison when she need to determine if the milk has went bad. She described it as being very sweet. I've read that the taste could be affect by the nursing mother's diet as well.

I've experienced a slew of breastfeeding problems since day 1! Shorter nipples with huge breasts, nipple shield(weaned her off at week 2), an oversupply of milk, mastitis, and now...her preference of one breast (where milk flows faster) to the other has affected my milk supply! How should I overcome this? Can the speed of milk flow be improved?

While you're nursing baby on the breast of preference, pump the other. The more you pump or nurse, the healthier the flow. Hopefully, by doing this, it will help even out the milk flow speeds between the two breasts and baby will not be preferring one over the other.
