Recently, I have heard of some mummies around me getting vexed as their precious darlings drink very little milk or do not eat enough. There can be a hundred reasons why our precious darlings go on an unwanted diet, but from my own personal experience, the culprit is the teat of the bottle. - See next post.
Or it could simply be Kan Jeong...the parents lah, not the baby. Actually, I have discovered that it is unneccessary to follow the suggested amount stated on the tin can of the milk powder. It is almost always more than what my little Qi can drink. Sometimes, I suspect it is a conspiracy to make us finish up the powder faster so that we can buy a new can...and oh gosh...it's so expensive that I wish I had continued to breastfeed!
On not eating enough, I have seen mummies feeding babies table food. Snacking will naturally fill up babies' little stomachs, so how can babies finish their own food after that?
Having said that, not that I do not understand why parents get anxious when their kids are not eating enough. Because nothing beats watching Qi gulps down her food, finishes every drop of her milk and poo poo everyday.
It's funny how such mundane stuff becomes one's top priority after we progress to motherhood.
