Eating Problem!

Changing food from puree to porridge is a struggle!!! He is now joining mouth shutting group! huhuhuhuhu We have such a fight for every meal! At last I give up and give him more time to adapt with the new food.....it goes better for both of us, we are in love again ^_^




Same weight and height as last month, 7.2kg and 66cm!!! he is 10 mo up now.....

Finally the pedi. asked us to go to the nutrionist, and he said lack of nutrition boy! how come!!!



So here's the new menu, always add 1 tea spoon of canola oil for every meal.

For milk always add another 1/2 spoon plus vitamin....hope it works well!!!



My tips for mum, changing the size of the teath does help! I just knew it, he drinks more now!

My sweet hedgehog loves to eat if there are a lot of toys on his eating tray....and he just loves to throw them away one by one, the easier thing I just put all his unbreakable toys in the basket next to him hehehehehe

Reminder for me....each child develops on his own pace! no worries....as God gives only the best!

Sharing book: The Parentalk Guide to Sleep -Kate Daymond

I just read this book, suggested by my parents because the sleeping problem hit my little pumpkin, here's the summary............

Children will grow healthy if parents have no doubt nursing them

Help your baby to know day and night by becoming boring parents in a positive way at night, such as if they want to play with you just pretend you are so sleepy-close you eyes half hohohohoho and don't see their eyes or you will feel loose the battle hahahaha

When your baby makes you upset show them that you can stay calm, this will make them back to normal

Watch out the sleepy signs:
giving less attention to what happen around
wobbling, hyperactive, can't stay still
pulling out their ears
bad mood
sucking their fingers
rubbing their eyes
getting upset, showing bad behavior in almost the same time every day

Seven approaches to make the baby sleep throughout the night:
1. Just follow his nature sleeping habit, you do nothing
2. Sleep together with parents in one bed
3. Control their crying approach
* say good night even when they cry and ask you to be there
* if you can't listen his crying anymore go see him after 1', if you can 3'
* calm him down BUT don't pick him up- make yourself boring
* say good night again
* repeat the process, but leave him longer, such as 5' BUT don't let him cry for 20' more
* Do this method as routine!
4. Rubber approach
* you stay in their room until they sleep BUT put him on his crib
* don't make any eye contact
* make yourself busy to make them know you are there
* if they are fussy, you may hold their hands or hug him anytime BUT don't pick him up-don't
make any eye contact
* you may get out from the room after they sleep
5. Checking out approach
almost the same with the rubber method but you DON'T stay in their room
* check them every 5' and repeat saying good night- stay consistent with the time spand
* don't pick him up and make yourself boring
6. Gentle approach
might need weeks or months. The point is let your baby drink less cc every night and change
with mineral water until they feel they don't need to drink anymore
7. Using medicine
must be under doctor supervision

Having good naps lead them to have great sleep at night -- REALLY!

Sleeping problem-AGAIN!

What do you need the most for having success sleeping method is consistency! I went to my pedi last Monday and after hours waiting, the pedi called to have emergency surgery in other hospital, so we decided to go home. We used to have all the bed routine starting at 8pm, but that day we went home very late, it was at 10pm and because he slept in the waiting room and in the car, he awaked until 11pm!

Then the disaster began......

He desperately needs to be carried and rocked again before sleep!!!!! or being fed! He is such a smart manipulative baby boy, he knows for sure if he plays with his mouth mummy will think he is hungry and mummy will pick him up.....I can't let him starving, if he is really hungry, who knows!

So...i'm going to start all over again! probably tomorrow....yesterday we went to the pedi, and he got vaccination that makes him got fever.....

Thank God I have a great, wonderful, sweet husband who wants to comfort him and accompany him to sleep at nights....
