《 Happy eating baby 》 , painted by dawnxisoul393 When our daughter little Dawnxi was 4 to 6 months old, we started thinking about adding some complementary foods to her diet, but we didn't know how to start? We wondered if it was the right time to start adding complementary foods? How to add them? When and how could little Dawnxi learn to eat on her own? When little Dawnxi was about 6 months old, one of Doris' college classmates sent us some parenting books on complementary feeding and some early infant supplements, which gave us more confidence to start little Dawnxi on complementary feeding right away. Of course, the amount of breast milk or formula did not decrease after we added complementary food to little Dawnxi. Illustrated by dawnxisoul393 Our daughter was weaned at 9 months and 17 days (at her own request). After weaning, she continued to drink the breast milk we had stored in the fridge for a few months until she was a little over a year old. At the same time, she was...

  《Happy Pre- Mother 》, painted by Dawnxisoul393 To record some lessons on maintaining physical and mental health during pregnancy: The most important thing we would like to say is that pregnant women should control excessive weight gain.

As a result, some pregnant women gain more than 25kg throughout their pregnancy. And excessive obesity is bad for the health of both mother and child. Obesity in pregnant mothers can increase the risk of diseases such as gestational diabetes. We often hear from our fat mother friends who complain that they have little to no milk after giving birth because of the fatty tissue blocking the milk ducts. From our own experience and from asking women who have also given birth, the ideal weight gain during pregnancy should be between 10kg and 15kg. Of course, this is not a dead rule an...

《Baby's Intelligence》, painted by Dawnxisoul393 Remembering what we said to our baby girl when she was one and a half years old - A review of little Dawnxi's intellectual development at 1.5 years old (Our note of September, 3rd, 2021): Dear little Dawnxi, when you were one and a half years and ten days old, your mother and father took you for vaccinations and a "routine check-up for children aged one and a half years". (That medical examination date was arranged by the health center. ) While waiting for vaccinations to be administered, mommy and daddy told you about the scenario you might experience later, the nurse will give you a shot in each arm, it would hurt a little, but not a lot and mommy and daddy would always stay with you. Mom and Dad thought you would still be like you were six months ago, at most, you would cry once or twice when the nurse pulled the needle out of you. It turned out not to be the case at all. You started crying from the moment the nurse s...
