November News

September

Sze Wei joined the centre

Sze Wei is 10 months old. We have a slight feeding problem with her. She refuses to take milk from the bottle as she is totally breastfed and she refuses to eat solid food. She weighs 7.0 kgs.

She cries most of the time because she is hungry and yet she refuses to eat or drink milk.

This is what she does whenever she is offered food. She cries and gags on food that is slightly coarser having been used to baby jar food since she was 6 months old.

I have to start training her as if she was 4 months old.

Update on Sze Wei’s progress



YES! We have managed to get Sze Wei to enjoy eating home cooked porridge which is slightly coarser than the baby rice that she has been eating.



She has finally accepted taking the bottle into her mouth but she does not suck at all. This is either because she does not know how to suck on the harder teat or she refuses to suck. Anyway, I let her play around with the bottle in her mouth for about 5 minutes.

We have to spoon feed her. She is now taking 3 ½ ozs each feed.

She now weighs 7.5 kgs

How did we manage to get her to enjoy her food?

NEWS FLASH

Sze Wei celebrated her first birthday this month.

Sze Wei with her friends and 2 older brothers.

Last month I tried to introduce semi solids to Jeffrey and he did not like it all.

I tried again 2 weeks later and now he absolutely loves it. He is only taking 1 teaspoonful of baby rice mixed with water once a day.

He is so cute I just had to put these photos here.

This month my 3 ‘crawlers’ are starting to stand up.

Cody is 10 months old

Josiah is 9 months old

Kyan is 9 months old. He loves ‘cruising’ along the wall.
