I had a great but tiring CNY - looking after the monkey (haha). We call her a monkey now (of course not in front of her la) cause she behaved just like one. She just won't stop or sit still for 1 min. I really think it's the Enfalac A+ milk.. haha. I kind of agree with you that she's skinny probably because she is too active and burning off all the energy quickly. Thanks for the tips on yogurt.

Hope you had a good celebration with your family. Hayley's diet and eating patterns sounds just like my son's! My boy takes more than 3-4 times milk a day (7oz each time), and also a bowl of porridge at lunch and dinner. In between he'll snack also. I don't think you should reduce the porridge. If Hayley is also very active and always moving about, it could be that she's burning off all the energy and therefore may need more! Calciyum seems to be fine on my boy, and we do keep it chilled in the fridge. But we take it out for a few minutes before feeding him coz we don't want to feed him cold stuff too much. Have fun giving Hayley Calciyum. I'm sure she'll love it and you'll enjoy seeing the look of love on her face when she's enjoying that yogurt! Hehe. Gong xi fa cai, Amy!

My FIL said I fed her too much and that resulted in her not digesting her food properly wor. Hayley takes milk 3 - 4 times a day and porridge twice a day. She takes 1 bowl of porridge at each feed. FIL said I should reduce her porridge but feed her more often. Dunno if that's true and if that is why she is lightweight despite eating so much. As for yogurt, a friend of mine who stays in the US told me to feed Hayley with yogurt too but sadly I couldn't find anything for babies in Malaysia. They have so many options in the US. I went to the supermarket once and the salesgirl told me to give Calciyum too but she doesn't look like she's confident of her recommendation and simply told me that Calciyum is the only yogurt suitable for babies. I didnt give it to Hayley. Now that you've given it to your boy and proven that its good, I am not hesitant to let Hayley try it :-). Do you chill it? Hey, Gong Xi Fa Cai! :-)
