we have been extremely busy since dec last year. baby matty is not very much a baby anymore and i feel…..sad thinking about it :)
i need to document his milestone because i feel very guilty when people ask me what can kj do at which month and i have no recollection at all!
well we started matty on solids in jan-feb this year. at 6-7 months old he still can't swallow, despite having intense interest in food.
whenever he sees us eating, he would want to..eat? or grab it. he still can't eat even if we try to give it to him.
I'm trying to do blw-baby led weaning but not quite successful :S anyway, I've changed strategy. won't be feeding puree all the way. i will want to let him have a taste of everything so that hopefully he won't be a fussy eater like kj. BUT, I'm still concern over the salt or whatnot if i were to feed him adult food. i know, I'm contradicting myself. still can't find a balance out of this :p
now at 9 months old! NINE! finally he is eating, swallowing this month! hooray!
he has 2 tooth at the bottom at 7 months old. and just 3 days ago, aunty found out that he is teething again, with 2 to 3 tooth on top.
what have i fed him so far. brown rice, millet, banana, pumpkin, sweet potato, sweet potato leaves, pear, apple.
easiest and best way for first stage puree is to run through a siever. the end product will be 100 percent silky smooth. don't need any special gadget.
since he is eating, starting last week his poo has solidified. prior to this, he has runny poo due to breast milk.
i am still breastfeeding him. no aunty visit yet.
he drinks every 2 hours in aunty's house, around 6-6.5 oz each feed.
my pumping schedule at work: 10am, 1pm, 4pm (or sometimes 5pm).
sometimes if i do not have much ebm in fridge (frozen ebm has expired), i will try to pump every 2 hours at work, which is difficult to achieve. and i will also set the alarm and get up twice at night - around 2am and 5am. most of the time, i can only wake up once =)
if i travel, i need to work harder when i come back. otherwise, over the weekend i will usually get to stock up for the coming week hence i won't be so worked up.
i can send milk once in the morning, enough milk to cover till 5pm. if i travel and when i come back, i will need to send milk twice. :S
each pumping session now yields 4-6 oz.
matty can now hold on to something and push himself up, albeit standing wobbly. he can crawl with ease no doubt.
he recognizes his name too! :)
however, he is one clingy baby. making me a handicap. because i need to carry him all the time. aLLLL the time :)
