23rd June Ryann finally poo poo

After trying to gek for so long, finally Ryann manage to poo poo. Long one as according to mum. Poor Ryann. Lucky force him prune cereal the night before. I know i shouldnt force him but no choice. If he is not taking that, he will have problem in pooing again.

Today, went to buy a vacuum cleaner. Old one died on us. Went to OP saw family tee so nice. maybe when he bigger or new year i will consider to buy that.

Spoken to Dr Lim regarding Ryann's rejection of solid. She recommended me some tips. If it is not due to wind in the stomach, constipation or teething or other medical reasons.

• Try Jar food --> Reason being the taste and texture is consistent. And Ryann may like the taste better. Some fresh fruit the taste and the sweetness is not consistent thus Ryann may not like it. Thou more costly but worth the try is it can make him eat.
• Don't force him. Sometimes we are just too stress, and babies are smart they will sense the stress and anxiety and thus will interlink eating with stress.If he reject feed milk. As long as we have tried all means, but still no use then feed milk.
• Make sure that he is having enough nutrients especially iron as BM is low in iron. Thus she recommended Multivitamin drops for infants if Ryann is not taking solid well. If not have to intro FM le.
• She also recommend me to intro yogurt and cheese to Ryann as snack in between the morning feed and afternoon solid.This will also supplement calcium.
• She mentioned that usually if babies have 2 FULL Solid feeds and 3 milk feeds of at least 200. which means minimum 600 a day is ok. But Ryann's solid feeds is not a full meal. So we need to feed him more of other type of food to give him enough nutrients he need.I think he lack of protein too, cos he haven't eat meat yet.
• For Ryann's poo poo issue, she recommended me to buy "glyceria supp" a bullet form of insert to help him have a urge to poo poo. Feel so pain for Ryann so luckily he poo already. =p
• If he start pooing, can help to press a bit on the left side of his stomach because that is where the poo poo is located. So massage frequently for better benefits.

I thank God for Dr Lim, luckily she can advice me. Now i am not as worried or guilty as yesterday. But i pray that God will give me the wisdom, patience and the ability to be a good mother to provide Ryann with the best and able to raise him up with good health and a good heart.
