Yup, S26. My baby still drinking Step 1 even though she is 1 year and 3 months now. Tried Step 2, but she don't like. So, we revert back to Step 1. haha

No... it was indeed a sudden change for the baby

did not drink enough water?

Yup, this. My wife took this and ensure 5 colours of vegetables in a week meal (daily too much work).

Just make sure drink lots of breast milk (or some water). And ensure the baby is not too high. Some baby jaundice due to breast milk, to make sure it is the reason, you can stop breast milk for a day or two, if it is really due to breast milk, the jaundice will subdue in 24 hours. Some pedi got no experience in breast milk jaundice, hence recommend more blood test etc.

Nope, there is indeed breast milk related jaundice.

Depends, my pedi recommend a bit water (a spoon). Some Pedi say no.

No idea on this. My case just switch aircond.

yeah, my daughter got no problem too in mixing both method. Although many parents and advises found online say otherwise. Really depends on individual.

some hospitals indeed do for free... if you do not mind, I wish to ask you to do a bit of research of hypnobirthing too. I am not sure how many parents out there benefits from this, but at least my wife does.

psst: some say it is money making industry.

My opinion: safety first. If really dangerous during labour, then go for caesarean. This method works well for my wife in terms of relax and does not feel so much pain during labour. At least she is mentally prepared for it. Some get brain wash until insist on the natural birth. Good Luck and congratulation

congratulations

How many months already? My daughter did face this problem initially, then switch back to normal. Yeah, she drinks slower but continue to suck until finish though. Until she is 6 months old, we start feeding her with puree and reduce the milk consumption. Even now she is 2 years old, we feed her 5 Oz for Breakfast and Supper (before sleep).

Before anyone comment my daughter is malnutrition, I can assure you that my daughter is healthy and growing as normal kids do. We will make sure she finish her food and vegetables for breakfast, lunch and dinner and balance diet.

1 1/2 months old still young. Should wake him up to train his muscle.

you will still get a buku merah. Once baby delivered in any hospital, they will contact your area's KK. By practice, the nurse should travel to your house to check baby in first few days.

Baby is easy. When baby cries non-stop, there must be a reason, hungry, not comfortable (hot, cold, or pampers), or feeling insecure (which normally solve when you carry your baby).

First time hear this. Normally baby refuse breast after taste bottle. Is the shape of bottle nipple? Is the hole too small? Is the hole too big? The saying of baby refuse breastfeed after bottle due to easiness to get milk. All the best

My baby born in private hospital. Then, the hospital contacts KK once my wife and baby return to home. Nurse from KK came the day after, and issue with their buku merah even hospital provides one already. Year 2016. I went to settle my baby birthcert after 1 week. Her I/C was done after 1 year plus. Totally ignore until I remember again

Congratulations~

Milk - Depends on whether breastmilk or formula. Recommend breastmilk as it will save you lots of money. After 1 year can start reduce the breastmilk and use formula. If you feed your kids well with rice/vege/etc, you should be able to give your baby 2-3 times daily compares to infant period.
Pampers - Recommend you get reusable to save cost for the first 6 months. I know some parents said it waste your time to wash and dirty. Well, you use money to exchange time, no? For me, I mixed. Use reusable and then pampers whenever going out. Since I did not go out much during infant period (afraid of bacteria/viruses), so, I kinda save some money from buying pampers. Currently I am using only about RM 150 monthly for pampers.


If you are super rich OR you like to go shopping, then you can buy one. Otherwise, not advisable. You can look for relative/friends to borrow for a year or two. My case, I hardly use the stroller since both my wife and me kinda introverts and hardly go shopping other than grocery. Therefore, we only carry them on hand or use the carrier straps. I got stroller borrow from friend. And during the period of 2 years, I use less than 10 times. The kid does not like to be inside the strollers too. If you notice in shopping mall, the parents carry baby while the strollers like trolley for stuffs Perhaps there are kids like to be in it, but mine do not enjoy being away from mum/dad.

I think your wife suffer postpartum depression. This can drags over 2 years if serious, and strains your relation. If possible, bring her to doctor and get proper advise. She might not even realise it. Open up and talk about it. If really serious, doctor may prescribe some medicine. It is better you let her go out with her friends while you take care of your baby during weekend. It is stressful with baby

I can see the key here is you went out as well. She needs you to be with her all the time. And the stress of looking of crying baby and does not know what to do is really frustrating, moreover in the middle of night and you need to work tomorrow.

I do not know your previous relationship, but honestly, under postpartum depressions, she will hates you. Like for no reason, just wanna vent out her frustration.
