One issue settled, another arose! Sigh, we just found a solution to improve Baby's daytime sleep and now, there's a new milk issue!
We thought Baby will have no problem transiting to his follow on formula at 6 months because he has proven to be able to accept a variety of liquids. Up to now, he showed that he could take his infant fm (Friso Gold 1), my bm (fresh, refrigerated and thawed), water and even liquid medicines! It turned out to be quite a failure and till now, since Wed night, we have not managed to find the one formula he likes!
So far we've tried Similac 2 from Wed night through Sat afternoon: Baby moved his bowels after every feed and we thought it was part of his routine until Baby alerted us by shutting his mouth really tight refusing milk since yesterday morning! :( We then changed to Similac Neosure (recommended by PD) on the next feed. At first, he was doing fine but after 2 feeds today, he rejected the milk and spit out the milk in his mouth! There was no way we could force the milk in his mouth!! We then let him try the bm (last resort) in his glass bottle and God bless! it still worked on him! Phew! So, today, he had full bm until his last feed. For his night feed today, we fed him Mamil Gold - another milk. He did struggle for quite a while before drinking it all up but at least we got him to finish it up.
I've never seen him so displeased about his milk, usually he'll just smile very innocently and looked away from the milk (politely reject instead of crying and keeping mouth shut)! It seemed that he now associated the premium wide-necked bottle that we just bought for him with un-delicious milk and the glass one with delicious milk! Hopefully, when tomorrow comes, he'll wake up forgetting about his unpleasant experience with the milk/bottle and resume his drinking... or else, my in-laws are going to have a hard time feeding him when DC and I are at work!
[Updated on 15 Feb 10: Baby is now taking well to his new FM. However, he still rejects his premium wide neck bottle! We actually see a huge growth just one week after the new FM was introduced! 400g in just 1 week! Wow!]

Hi cp, remember to mix the new formula with the old formula so that baby can gradually accept the milk. e.g. 1:3 portion of new and old.. later increase to 2:2 then 3:1..
