I would give the food first. If you were still bf you wouldn't know how much she was getting. Babies won't delibratly starve themselves and isn't food more important than milk at this stage. You could try adding in another bottle at some point during the day.]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2006 22:09:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=73481&title=a-few-random-questions#73481 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=73284&title=a-few-random-questions#73284 Author: aimeejoy

Aimee I have a random tin of the Pepti Jnr (dairy-free) formula that Maya was on if you want me to send it to you to try. I was given it for the babies, but the specialist wants them on the next formula up from that one so it's just sitting in my cupboard. It might tide you over for the next couple of weeks until you can try the rice milk?]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2006 11:10:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=73280&title=a-few-random-questions#73280 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=73270&title=a-few-random-questions#73270 Author: nikkitheknitter

Aimee, I found the soy gave Maya runnier poos than usual, and they were a different color. That was one of the reasons we put her on the prescription stuff in the end. It wasn't strictly an allergy, more of an intolerance, but the specialist decided she was better off avoiding the soy altogether.]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 20:48:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=73204&title=a-few-random-questions#73204 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=73203&title=a-few-random-questions#73203 Author: Bizzy

Jake never wore shoes for ages. He got his first pair when he was one (flash adidas - thanks rich Japanese friends), and he had been walking for over a month by then. He found it difficult getting used to them too, so he never really wore them until it was just too cold that he had to.

I give Zac his breakfast first which is baby rice or porridge with 120 ml formula and fruit so that takes care of getting some formula into him first thing.

According to plunket, you don't need to offer fluid first after 8-9 months(thriving under 5 booklet). I don't see any problem with her having a drink instead of food though, if it is filling a hole, why not? Olivia isn't on that much solids yet so I'm crap with the advice on that one! 2. Now that she is on formula her poos have got a lot runnier (sorry..) Is that normal? Just worried she might not be reacting well with the soy. Also her tummy seems a bit fatter than normal. I have Olivia on formula and she goes everyday at the same time, I can tell when she is having a growth spurt because they don't arrive or if she is constipated they get a bit more solid. Formula also sits in the gut a lot longer than breast milk because it gets digested differently so that is probably where the full tummy comes from. 3. Is bonjela mouth ulcer gel the same as the teething one? They only had the mouth ulcer one at the pharmacy and I figured they were prob the same... Yup 4. Anyone else had trouble getting the right size bobux shoes? I went to buy some yesterday but the mediums only just fit, almost too small, but the next size up had about an inch of room left... I just thought it was weird that there was such a big difference in sizes Now you see I have a pair of S sized Bobux and Olivia has gigantic clodhoppers for a 4 month old and they are just too big!! I need to wait till she is probably another couple of months along before she fits into them. I think that because they are leather and might be hand stitched it is suit to fit! Thanks

Hi aimeejoy, I weaned both my girls at about 11 months from breastmilk to cup (water mostly) so they were definitely having breakfast first. Right until then I was giving them a feed and then breakfast. I guess you could just try switching it around and see if she is happy with that, as some kids are not!

The Bonjela sounds like it would be the same, can you just call your Doctor's office and ask the Nurse?

Sorry I can't help with the other questions.]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2006 20:06:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=72987&title=a-few-random-questions#72987 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=72975&title=a-few-random-questions#72975 Author: lizzle

i would have thought that bonjela teething gel and ulcer gel would be diff things, the adult stuff would be stronger i would have thought... perhaps call the chemist or the makers of the stuff for clarification.

she may be ready to have brekkie solids before milk, you can but try.

pooh will change when they go from breast to formula, but not sure how sorry.

and as to shoes toby is 14mths old and still doesnt own a pair...you can damamge their feet by putting them in the wrong size so i dont bother at all... maybe check out their website and ask them about their sizing. ]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2006 16:22:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=72960&title=a-few-random-questions#72960 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3809&PID=72958&title=a-few-random-questions#72958 Author: Tastic

At Hannahs age I got got to give Bailey solids first with a bottle as a top up, try that

Bonjela is the same stuff, they have just chaged it to be more appealing to adults aswell (fablous stuff!)

Sorry cant help with the shoes, but I think shoes too bog are better then too small

Does seem weird about the bobux... maybe they put the wrong size in the packaging...? I have some larges somewhere if you want me to send them.

Also have some other Clarks' First Steps (size 4, shouldn't be too long until she is fitting those) if you want those.

Anyone else want anything?

And mmmm... don't know about the formula, but I think I switched to giving Han brekkie first around that age.

1. When Kobe got to Hannahs age I used to offer him breakfast first then top up with a bottle but if he woke really early, like to early for breakfast then i would still give him a bottle then try some solids later in the morning. worked for us.

2.if her tummy is a bit fatter she may be bloated. Does she seem in any pain at all? I wouldnt worry about the poos if its not bothering her, it can take a bit for them to get used to the formula.

3.yep as far as I know its the same thing, looks the same and ive always used the same one for ulcers and teething.
