@helovesme, pls take it easy...am sure no one is trying to attack you... As per formula measurement, it is advisable to to go with the direction on the can of formula except, otherwise stated. From what you said about Aptamil, there is the option to reduce or increase a lil, this is not so for other formulas. Not giving enough scoops can cause malnutrition and giving too much can cause constipation. That said, a mother's instinct can't be toyed with... Observation is the key, as long as baby is gaining weight and producing a good number of wets and dirty...increase/decrease scoops, but be OBSERVANT!!!

Every mum wants the best for their kids,scratch that, most mums not every. The cheaper brand is not necessarily better than the high end ones.

How about if I told u, if you formula feed the right proportion of formula, you don't need to give baby water till 6 months?? Yes that's a fact. My sis has twins also n was on combination feeding, more of formula than BM tho, babies didn't take water till 6 months and never had constipation for a day.

Cheers Madame!

Hey Mama. Had asked after you in the pregnancy thread much earlier after I observed you'd been away for so long. How are you and your LOs doing? Good to have you back.

About the combination of breastfeeding and formula without water, it also works for my 2 months+2wks old twins. They don't take water and are not constipated. I actually attempted to give them on 2 occasions. The girl rejected it and threw up the little that managed to pass through her throat while she was crying. The boy took but I didn't give after those 2 attempts and observed it didn't affect them negatively.

Like you said observation is the key. I could never have tried excluding water with my 3 older kids back then. Recipe for constipation big time! Depends on what works for each baby.

Cc: Goldmine, sadoddy, doubledouble

Cc: pelupelu. My twins are just a little over 2 months old. This is my observation. Girl was the leading twin and weighed less than the boy at birth. Initially wasn't eating much but now eats more than her brother. They currently weigh exactly the same. The boy started lifting his head, following movement,staring at faces,reacting to sound,making sounds and smiling before his sister. She caught up shortly after for all this within one week. They both surprisingly hold their heads up steady for their ages.

Also heard girls are faster and my older daughter achieved all milestones(except teething) at a far earlier age than her brothers did at their time. It isnt working like that for my twins for now. Who knows, the pattern might change later. It's probably too early for me to assume that the boy would always be ahead in terms of milestones.

Not sure of exactly what area or milestone you feel your boy is lagging behind in and for how long. Could you be a bit more specific?

Breast milk when menstruating taste diff was wondering why my lo suddenly cries these past few days that AF showed when i try feeding him! Sir google and DH just confirmed it, according to DH he says it tastes like imitation

Anyone in the house ever experience this?

OK sis..we were asked to keep coming for blood tests..they kept checking his biliribum level and PCV..my sis I didn't enjoy it at all..I always cried..they kept puncturing him and yet no treatment..they said the level wasn't high enough to treat him with their light..so was asked to breast feed and put him out in sun..relatives kept insisting I gv antibiotics but it took a week before I agreed..when I did..it cleared up in 6days..but according to his paed..if baby wasn't sucking and active then its high..luckily he is very active..at 2wks I went bk for tests to check the level and it had cleared totally..I didn't tell paed that I gave drugs o ..for their mind breast milk and sun did d magic..not dat it wouldnt have o..but it may tk a longer time
So as per your son..I think he's fine..just like a mama said up there..boys and girls reach their milestones at different times..but if you're worried then see a paed
My son now at 6wks can follow me and his pa with his gaze..his head is firm..not fully though.he always wants to stand but I don't allow him

aye88:



My dear, nothing to cry about as long as theirs a solution
1. Get a brestpump. The moreu pump, ur breast inflow increases
.2. Make pap ur second food. Pap in d morning, pap at night. If u can prune juice, it also helps
3. Eat well and rest well. Ur milk supply increases at d point of rest.
4. Go and get formular andfeed ur baby with it. At least till ur baby gets his weight back then u can continue the EBF. Whether EBF or formular, d most important tin isdhealth of ur lO

Thanks mama..I'm incorporating formula already...truth is I'm just too stressed..I'll work on eating more..thanks so much

Going through a tough time right now. I started weaning him today. He coped well all through the day( used to staying without BM during this time as he goes to creche) and he has refused to sleep without sucking right now.

I don tire! As in, I'm very very tired.
