June 2011 moms

Hello ladies,
Hope all of you and LO's are doing good.
Bril- how is life now that you are back to work? Take care of yourself too well as life will be hectic now.The feeding bottle with spoon is very useful for me also. Raksha likes the fast flow but still she stops showing interest in few minutes and does not eat anything further.I have started with Cow's milk for Raksha. Her paed asked me to start it once the formula gets completed. She refused it completely in the first day, she is slowing taking it for the past 2 days. I asked him if it wouldn't be too much for her to digest - paed said not to worry and she is ready to digest normal food now.
Ramya Ramani- glad to hear Shayna is getting settled down there. Enjoy your family get together and gossips All the best to manage time and stay with IL's , it would be tough sometimes when they come up with suggestions that will not work out , but you listen and dont take it to heart. Here my MIL tells me not to give her bath everyday and just wipe her with warm water and bathing every 2-3 days. But with all cereal spashed all over her face and neck only bathing Raksha will keep her clean. She tends to get redness in the neck area if there is even a bit of food particle stuck there. But MIL doesnt understand and tells me wiping itself is sufficient . I dont argue and tell her yes and just follow what I feel is best for her. She tells over phone but in your case you meet them face to face , so I can understand how difficult it will be. Hope you get some good sleep.
Suja- how is Smriti. Have you bought a feeding chair? How is she liking the rice+dhal mashed food?
Akila- Raksha also has irregular bowel movement. Even if she does not poop for a day, the next day it comes out sooo hard .These days I soak 5-10 dry grapes overnight and give her the water first thing in the morning. Its works like magic for her. If I forget to soak them in the night, I mix 1-2 drops of honey in lukewarm water and give it to her. It also works well for her. She poops within the next 5-10 minutes itself. Hope prunes work well for Rithik.
Ramya cse- how are things at your end. How is Rithu liking the cereal? What else are you giving him. How is winter there - freezing cold?
Gayathri- isn't it good to see tanvi tasting all varieties already.Even my aunt suggested to start with mashed rice in the fifth month itself. But I didn't as I was scared .
Achu- do come often and update. How is your LO doing. What are you feeding him ?
Updates from me - Raksha is getting very playful and doesn't take food properly inspite of all kajoling. Max she will eat 3-4 spoons and then refuse to take any more. Even while BFing she latches for few minutes only and wants to get down and play . Then she will cry of hunger in sometime itself. Its getting tiring to feed her these days. I have also started giving her egg - boiled and mashed well with little pepper and salt.We are both vegetarians but since she is on the lower scale on weight and height gain, her paed insisted that I give her 1 egg everyday. She eats fully certain days but refuses certain days.. I really get confused with her likes and dislikes :-(
Sorry for the long post Happy holidays and a very happy new year !!

 

Hey All,

Hope all of you are planning well to have a wonderful celebration for the first New year of our LO's.

My update : Working far from home is a pain. But, I will try and see how much i can stretch. vidhu throws a tantrum to sleep in the day time when i am not there... But luckily for me, DH's office had an off for the last week of dec. So i was kinda relieved that he was with vidhu. Real test starts from the coming week. Only inlaws and vidhu kutti. Hope things will be fine.

I really want to post regularly. But it is not working 4 me. I'm taking this also in my new year resolutions .ok.
Aarav is also very playful these days. If we are not minding he prefers sleep. Good to hear , isn't it? He likes all the foods. But giving only small quantity like 2 or 3 spoons. Are u giving Raksha skimmed cowmilk? Tc

 

All June 2011 mommies,
Wish you and your LOs a very happy new year....Hope you had good time.

Ramyaramani,
Welcome to Chennai!!! Good to hear about Shayna's journey updates. I will definitely check your PM. Smriti had viral fever last week, so could not log in to IL. Are you planning to visit any temples?? When are you going to your parents place?

 

Sankna,
Yes, I give dhal and rice to Smriti. Looks like she has some interest but that too only for first 10 mins. How r u managing home, Raksha and work??

I believe you would have got some holidays last week. Did you enjoy with Raksha?? Have you started anything new food for her?
