Baby Kiele poos in the Potty

Baby is 10 months old, my mom has taught her to sit in the Potty when its time for her to poo. Kiele normally poos after she has had a big feed, or it shows on her facial expression. So immediately we make her sit on the potty.

The Potty that she sits on is an antique piece just like an arm-chair so she is very comfortable sitting on it and we too can be engaged in our work, coz there is no possibility that she will fall or will move the potty.

So she sits on it comfortably and the moment she finishes she becomes restless so we know its time to get her out of it coz she has finished. This is a very good thing my mom has taught her.

We are now trying to make her understand / learn that the moment she feels like she should go near the potty and stand so we know that she wants to poo. I guess that will take some time but will keep you posted as and when.

Baby responds to song – Part 2

Baby responds to song – Part 2


From my earlier post you will read that I have written how well she responds to the birthday song.

Next step - I dance in front of her and sing a song – what Kiele does is ?? She immediately crawls if she is in the center of the room and tries to find support to stand by holding the sofa or chair so that she gets the grip of the sofa or chair and can move her head, hands and legs more comfortably.

Earlier what she would do is wherever she was she would move her head, hands – but now its different the moment we sing a song she will crawl so fast and try to stand – its just amazing to see her responding.

Baby responds to songs

Kiele entered her 10th month. Every month we sing a birthday song as well as play the birthday song and cut the cake etc. I guess she is now so used to the birthday song so much so that each time we sing the song baby Kiele starts shaking her head, hands and leg. The moment we stop singing the song she is quiet. She responds to the song very well. We have also started teaching her to clap her hands when we sing ‘Clap hands’ song. This shows that she likes songs and hence responds to it nicely.

To mothers who just gave birth to beautiful babies

For their lovely babies to get sufficient feed, here is a receipe that mothers should eat whether they like it or not. I use to have and still have it sometimes and it really helps at the same time it is very yummy… I use to enjoy eating it – Shingada powder – To a cup of milk add one table spoon of the powder ... sugar according to taste and boil it for sometime. If you wish to have it thicker add more powder. Believe me it’s the best.

Kiele can sit upright

Kiele is 9 months now and she can sit upright on her own. What she loves doing now is - she loves to stand. She tries to hold the chair and makes an attempt to stand. We do not distract her and let her do what she feels like but we keep a close watch on her

We now keep her on the floor and she happily plays with all her toys on the floor. She loves to play with papers or we just fill a bag with all her toys or small items and then she is kept busy by removing all the things from the bag. In this way we too are free coz she is busy in emptying the bag. Nobody should call her or distract her once she hears our voice or if anyone says hello to her there is she with her hands wide open to lift her.

She holds our hands and tries to walk too - just beginning to. She is growing bigger but food intake is becoming lesser. At times in fact not at time but at all times I have to think what should be given to her to eat. She loves something only for a day or two then she is tired of eating it.

She loves to eat ice-cream. Ice-cream she can eat even if she is sleeping she will wake up. We do give her little of it – am afraid she may catch a cold.

Kiele at the pub

For our wedding anniversary we had all planned that we would go to the pub. So as usual we were late so my friends proceeded to the pub and had a seat and was enjoying the music and the ambience. We reached the place but was not permitted in since I had my baby. The security did not allow us to take Kiele upstairs because of the noise pollution and the smoke. I willingly agreed and went up and called my friends too.

In a way it is really nice that they are very much concerned about the child but at the same time we were little disappointed for some time since we could not enjoy ourselves at the pub.

But as the saying goes whatever happens – happens for the best. We took a cab and drove down to a restaurant with real good ambience, coolness etc… My Kiele enjoyed herself while we were all dining and chatting. She was very comfortable sitting on her chair and playing with the spoon and eating the noodles which was fed to her.

We all had a great evening at the restaurant thanks to the security for not letting us in coz I then realized that Kiele would not at all be comfortable in that place coz of the blasting music and the environment out there.

Food

Food Habits

As Kiele is growing bigger, she is becoming more fussy especially where food is concerned. She loses appetite immediately. As it is said variety is the spice of life. She needs different meal.

We had taken her to the doctor last week just for normal check up. He suggested that I give her what she eats no problem. Her milk intake also has decreased but I give it in some other form like cheese, butter with bread etc. She enjoys eating all this. Ice cream is one thing she loves eating at any time. I do give her little of it. Her juices are still on she has them with interest till now. Things she doesn’t like to eat is rice, dal, kichdi… which we all know is very important. My doc too said that try and feed her but she just refuses to eat it. Tried preparing in different ways by adding milk etc.. but not successful. Will definitely think as to how I can feed her rice dal by trying different ways and will keep you posted.
