Starting solids for 6m old baby

Hi mommies, recently I’ve started solids for my baby girl but she doesn’t seem to like purée at all. I bought those pre packed one from NTUC (eg. heinz). Was wondering if I could steam/grill chicken strips / salmon / prawns for her to bite on since she is in her gnawing phase? I’m also keen to do BLW for her but I’m not sure how to go about it as I’m a first time mom. Also wondering if I can feed her yoghurt?? If yes, which brand should I start on? Please kindly advice!!

Start with plain nestums first or porridge. If they dont want to eat anything dont force. Slowly they will get used to it. Try baby bites. They love that. I know that is just a snack but it preps them for solids.

Newborn baby with huge appetite

I need urgent advice from all mommies!! My baby girl is only 15 days old today but she is drinking a lot of milk which is starting to scare me!! From day 7 - day 14 she has been drinking 90ml formula milk each time, feeding is about once every 2 hours. Sometimes about 1 hour ++ she starts feeling hungry again, she rarely sleeps for 3 hours. From day 11 onwards she seems to still be hungry after 90ml so sometimes I do make extra milk and do till 100ml or 110ml max. Yesterday night onwards she seem to need 120ml otherwise she will just stay wide awake and keep turning her head searching for milk / put her hands in her mouth. She’s not even 4kg so 120ml seems to be too much for her (according to the advice on the milk tin 120ml is for 2 weeks - 3 months baby 4.5kg above and feeds 6 times a day but my baby girl drinks about 12 times a day). I did asked her PD which is Doctor Ang from TMC but the doctor advised to just keep feeding until she is full and had enough. She say the baby won’t continue drinking when she’s full. But that doesn’t sound very normal to me?? I’m also not sure if she’s drinking this much milk because I did not start her on the pacifier. If possible I do not wish to start her on pacifier at all. Pls give me golden tips on what to do!!! #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby #First_Baby #firstTime_mom #firstmom

Babies are smart, so they know how to refuse milk when they are full. Everything in numbers no matter where you see them are all guidelines based on average which will not apply for all babies. One common sign of over feeding is spit up/vomiting after feeding. If baby is drinking the amount well without spit ups/vomiting, producing good amount of wet diapers, active and happy then I wouldn’t worry too much. I have a friend baby drinking 150ml~160ml at 15 days old while my own baby (mix feeding) was only drinking 60ml 😅. Also, if you don’t want to introduce pacifier, can let her suckle on burp clothes or her fingers which helps them self soothe. Don’t worry 😊

Induce pregnancy

I’m 39 weeks + 6 today, tmr will be my edd but I’ve no signs of labour at all!!! No contractions, no Braxton hicks, I’m not even dilating. My dilation has been stuck at 1cm for the past 2 weeks. Doctor suggested to induce on the 10th because my baby girl is already 3.3kg. I’m only 165cm, not sure if I can even push my baby out via natural birth. Any golden tips from all mommies pls advice me on what to do!!!! Personally I’m having very mixed feelings about having to induce because I feel that maybe both baby and I are not ready for labour, which might increase the odds of having to do emergency c sec but doctor mentioned that eventually will still have to induce since I’m not dilating. I’m feeling so lost as this is my 1st baby. #pleasehelp #advicepls #firstbaby #firstpreganancy

I give birth at 41 weeks 1 day with me being induce at 41 weeks in the morning. I was 3cm dilate, with no signs of contraction, my waterbag was still full. I did membrane sweep but still same. I am 153cm and baby is 3.2kg. Was assisted with vacuum delivery. Thank God the induce was successfully but I did take thigh jab, gas and epidural. Taking induce is two times or shall I say much more painful then normal. If you have high tolerance level you can proceed otherwise you can go normal without induce. The few reasons doctor/gynae for induce is to fasten birth process, baby's huge, baby past edd, etc. So end day its ur choice to decide.
