Aaron is 3 mths today. Brought him to KKH for his medical appointment this morning.He is 7kg and 59cm tall.
I don't know what is wrong with him. He was ok this morning but when we were at the clinic, he was so cranky. He was never like that. Maybe want to tell the whole world its his 3rd mth today..hehe
Anyway, doctor asked me about his milk intake. Well.... he is drinking like 220ml every 1hr or 1.5 hours. harrr kauuuu.. He opened his mouth big big arrr.... Seriously he drinks that much. Doc told me to reduce his milk intake. You tell me how? We've tried giving him pacifier after his 125ml feeds but he spit it out. He refused to suck. At times we forced him to suck his pacifier by holding the pacifier on his mouth. He would try to spit it and will 'pretend' to suck but spit it out again when we stop holding it. He will wait for me to give him his 2nd feeds. And when I said wait, he waited patiently. However hard we try to put him to sleep, he just won’t. Until we give him his milk then only will he sleep.
Doc said that by right, Aaron is considered 2.5mths (as he is a premature baby) and his milk intake should at most be 150ml every 3hrs and not 220ml. This of course I know. But there is nothing I can do to stop him from drinking that much. I told him that besides being worried by this over-feeding my baby, we also have to take into consideration the amount of milk cans we have to buy for him. He is on special milk and this milk is $14 for 400gm. He finished the whole tin every 2 days. And not only that, we have a hard time looking for this milk because only Pharmacies have it but most of the time….. out of stock!!!! Expensive is another thing, so difficult to find is another. But frankly, as long as he is drinking well and growing healthily, then I am not worried at all. Heheh….
Doc suggested that I start feeding him cereal at 3.5mths. This is to try reducing his milk intake. Hmm… I don’t understand this theory actually. Whatever it is, because cereal has thicker texture, I hope Aaron’s stomach would be able to take it.
On another note, I am currently working on a project which I will call Project N and it will be launched one week before Ramadhan. I would love to have all my Multiply friends to join me in this new venture of mine. Will keep you all updated on the progress.

kak lyndy, my twins also premature tau.. tapi their intake of milk cepat every hours they ask for milk.. tapi my doc kata it is ok.. no harm... :).... I did try giving them cereal when they are 4 months old... so far alhamdullillah... until 2day.. ehhh.. baby aaron makin tembam eh... mcm nak cubit dia lah...hehehe... "mari aaron aunty cubit.... hehehe"
bagus selera Aaron eh. asalkan sihat, takpe la sis. WAh cant wait to see wat Project N is all about. =)
yeah lah. Ashraf pun premature. Tapi tak minum macam Aaron. Aaron ni ada special sikit...all the bros were not like that when baby. Anyway, I dengarkan ajelah apa doc nak celoteh. Its not that we didnt try reducing his milk intake. I'll try giving him cereal in 2 weeks time and see how he is doing with that...
Apa nak cubit anak org..?? cubit lah anak sendiri..hehehe... cubit tu kuat kuat sikit...
Yeah lah sis. As long as he is healthy.
Will keep you updated k... hope to have your support.

takut nanti kalau sekat his selera nanti terbantut lak nak grow nanti..
Really? But my 3rd one was also a chubby baby but didnt drink that much (abt 120ml) every 1 or 1.5 hour je. I dont know if this milk that he is taking now causes him to get hungry easily. u take care too dear...
3 months and so the tembam.. Its okay sis. Dulu my son pun drinking too much milk. I sampai gaduh dengan my hubby pasal hubby takut his intestines not totally form yet. Tapi doctor kata its okay to feed as much as the baby can take.
The milk so expensive sis... Tak apelah anak punya pasal kita berkorban apa saja kan.

Berkorban apa saja... Harta atau pun nyawa.. itulah kasih mesra.. sejati nan mulia...heheh (eh betul ke lagu tu mcm tu)...
So far I tak lah gaduh ngan hb pasal ni tapi ada sesetengah org kept telling me jgn ikutkan sangat. lerrr... budak ni nak minum tak kan tak kasi.. kita lapar kita makan abis budak ni mcm mana?? ;-P
it shld be ok la lynn..my kids sumer dulu pon minom banyak..janji sehat..and aaron is looking great!! geramnyerrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ah ah lah sis... i tak pakluli lah apa doctor tu nak cakap. Asalkan anak kita sihat eh...
Ciannyer kecik2 dah nak kena diet...my cousin's bb was told to do same thing and poor thing his weight dropped drastically and became sickly...Nauzubillah but after gave him bek the milk he was so much fine now. Alah budak2 ni bila dah besar and active, 'kecut'lah dia ngan sendirinya
this reminds me of my son azri when he was a baby..kejap2 nak susu tau sampai i naik takut perut dia kembung tp when i went to see a pediatrician kat kkh, dia kata just give in to his demands..I think in aaron's case, makin besar nanti akan berkurangan lah milk intake dia..once solid food is introduced..kesian kan kalau sekat2..
salam sis lyndy....how r u?hope u r doing great...love to see baby aaron..he's so chubby...such a cutie pie...alah doktor2 nie kadang2 cakap pun tak masuk akal...budak kalo dah nak susu...takkan tak kasi..apalah...as long as baby aaron is doing well...alhamdulillah...take care sis...
masya'allah so cute & chubby ur son ni...........nak pinjam boleh tak?? *ingat ni patong ke eh nak pinjam..heheeeee*
My girl also premature baby - 7 1/2mths baby! Minum tak byk pun put on weight. My mum used to say premature baby is like tat asalkan dia nak minum & makan bersyukur aje, nanti kalau dah tak nak kita juga yg susah. U c her now ramai org tak percaya she's the prematured baby...heee...
aaron...gemuk sekali yah lucuu
cute nye ur baby... so geramsssss! by d way kan... as for me i never follow doc advise hw much intake my baby has 2 take... bila dia uwekkkkkk aje.. kasi aje susu... cos dia nangis lagi susah... but dis for me lah kan. i ever try kasi pacifier, dia tak nak.
more solid food, reduce milk boleh tak?
kesiannyer yr cousin's bb tu. betul tu sis, bila budak da besar n active, they will lose weight. Tapi kan, ada jugak yg tak lose their weight too...heheh... makin cuteeee
hmm... yea sis, i tak nak sekat. Lagipun kalau sekat budak ni nangis bukan kita bleh buat bincang ngan dia eh..hehe... kekadang tu lepas muntah banyakkkk dia masih nak susu lagi... kalau tak kasi dia basahkan mittens dia... agak-agak da hilang sabar baru siren bunyi..
Salam Rina, I am fine, ALhamdulillah. You take care too dear.
hhehehe... ada-ada aje si Diva ni. Baguslah sis, sendiri tanya sendiri jawab... self-service..heheh...
Yes I've seen her pic on yr blog. And you are right, I tak caya arrr... ;-)
gemuk sekarang nampak lucu yeah.. kalau gemuk lagi 20 tahun gi mana ya? hehe
THanks sis... yer lah sis. doctor ni ada yg good at theory and fail practical. And this is a young male doctor lagi...so tak kuasa punya pasal dengar je n senyum kambing...heh
dunno sis. I will try that in 2 weeks time. Kalau my 3rd boy, lepas makan nasi pun masih nak 1 botol susu. Sometimes sampai 2 botol.... tapi dia tak gemuk lah now...cuma stout je...so with aaron, I will try and let you know ok..heh
ok.. lemme know. tak semua anak samer kan.. lain pattern. Tapi i tetap nak kernyam dia nye pipi...
harlow.. i think aaron is growing well.. see sooo chubby! good lah, dont wori too much, maybe nti dah start makan, milk will probably be reduce..
wah ni project apa eh? nak tau lah.. *kepo* mode
Mak oi.. baru 3 bulan dah 7 kg. Thaqif yg 1yr old baru 7.5kg & 80cm. Ape seh merepek doktor ni suruh reduce kan milk. As if budak ni dah besar pandai ckp mintak susu & dah ade akal fikiran bleh lah kita buat gitu. Bodoh nya doktor nama aje doktor. Psl tu aku tak nak jadi doktor sbb nanti kena panggil doktor bodoh hehehe...
Isk² gebu nya anak Kak Lin.... Comel sgt... Danish 27mths baru 10kg... Tapi dia tak suka sgt minum susu dia lebih suka mkn... Kak Lin nak tau tak kadang kalo kita tak kasi dia mkn leh jadi nangis tau... Kalo susu 1 ari dlm 1 or 2 time... Tapi masa dulu Danish masa time baby dia slalu nangis I think masa tuh dia blom 3mths pon I dah kasi dia cereal tuh pon badan tak kembang² mak dia je yg kembang... hehehehehehe... Betul gak kata Linda tuh sebab pon I tak nak jadi doctor... hehehehehe... I sokong U Linda...
ooooh semangat.. dats a lot of milk intake..
chubby dia..
maybe after 150ml of milk, give him cool boiled water??
i feed ilhan water too so as to prevent constipation frm formula.
Salam Lyn,
Alhamdulillah that Aaron is well and so semangat plak tu. Btw..u kasi breast milk or powder? If powder, what brand is that?
Rgds,
Linda
hi lynn, hw is aaron nw? soo cute dia..when my son was 3 mths old, he weighd abt 7kg n 62.5cm,,yelah ikut size his dutch father, tall..perhaps the doctor is concerned abt the intake due to some prob dat might face when too much formula milk intake..i gave him full breastfeeding n formula milk wif tepung beras specially for babies 4 mths old onward..the paedetrician oso said my baby soo gedek coz im tiny mom until they saw my hubby 1.95cm..huh..anjat! But i always be positve coz we didnt want our child to grow obese due to current prob facing among kids rite nw..in btw gif him warm water dat helps to reduce constipation too.mudah2an tak lah ye..
When its complete I will tell you ok... heheh.. kiss kiss baby for me...
yer lah si Thaqif tu... kalau share baju ngan dia memang rugi... hehe..Baju Aaron banyak tak muat arrr... who is the next one yg coming soon eh... hehehehe...boleh pass baju baby
Mak dia makan cereal apa eh bleh kembang mcm tu?? I ni tak bleh kembang kembang...sikit pun tak bleh.. asyik kuncup je... kalau kembang sikit kan best...hehehe... jgn kembang banyak sudah lerrrr
Thanks sis. Even after giving him warm water, he would want to drink some more milk. Strangely, if he drinks water, he didnt throw up. Hmm...
Salam dear...My milk production da close arrr... stressed due to Aaron hospitalisations during my confinement period. So now on doctor's recommendation he is taking ENFALAC AR (anti reflux).
Hi sis... Aaron is fine and growing well... Alhamdulillah. MasyaAllah your son is so tall eh.. Alamak kalau anak org Dutch bleh 7kg at 3 mth.. anak gue anak Asian ni apa hal pulak eh...hehehe... seram jugak kalau budak budak ni obese. But there's an article I read that the child will have the father's height and mother's size... so if you are fat blame your mother... itu bukan i cakap eh... So i harap my boys tak ada yg fat pasal i ni cheding...hehehe... Thanks for the tips sis.!!
Alhamdulillah, Mak nya kembang pasal kena pump... Nanti dah terkembang mcm sepupu sepupas kita baru tau... hehehehehehehehe U noe I noe lah eh...
me n hubby not fatty kind of person..hee..but if ikut my hubby berat tulang..haha! my son ikut dia n we are so conscious abt wat we eat n try to maintain esp when age is catching up..always chek my weight every wk..haha! my boy slimmed down alot after he reached 1 1/2 yr old, lost his baby fat n very active child..but nvr forget incident when he was dat 3 mths old, doctor said he looked like smiling buddha so round,chubby n smily always..so dun wori abt Aaron..u ada 4 heroes..lagi wow!
