U got ntuc finest to look for this brand Fresh Rice. It's organic brown rice. Cook as per norm rice. Juz add a bit more water if u prefer softer. Not diff to prep or to eat.
Start with brown don't straight go to Red rice. That is harder. Oh I like multigrain too... If eat sandwiches outside will order, at hm nobody eat also. Buy wasted

Hi all mummies, I bought starter bottles kit from MAM and intend to buy second hand pigeon multi function sterilizer and warmer.. may I know if the MAM bottles will fit?
Also I am quite unsure how do u store expressed milk? Can someone explain in detail? As in do we freeze it first then thraw for use later (maybe 2 to 3 hrs) or put into normal fridge then use it within 24 hrs by warming it?
And if I dun buy warmer is it true just by running water on the frozen milk then put in warm water for 15mins is gd enough for baby feed? It is really a steep learning curve for me.. tia for sharing

i think if u take the milk out straight from the freezer it will take longer for a warm water bath to warm the milk.Hi all mummies, I bought starter bottles kit from MAM and intend to buy second hand pigeon multi function sterilizer and warmer.. may I know if the MAM bottles will fit?

But just to share... A lot of wholemeal bread in SG is not really 100% wholemeal flour. Most are still mixed with some % of wheat flour. So it's not really wholemeal bread. So far I think there are only 2 breads on the supermarket shelves that are 100% wholemeal - Junior Loaf Super Soft & Fine Enriched Wholemeal Bread and Sunshine Classic Wholemeal (the one in green packaging)
One item I feel is really low GI is overnight oats. I've made overnight oats to eat for breakfast quite frequently for hubby and myself and it's really quite filling, can keep me full till lunch and beyond....

Doctor never say anything means both u and baby in good health and low or no risk of GD and hence no cause of worry.
@Sugarlove87 I was also considering the combi urban walker lite but read that only 2 wheels can rotate when reverse? Does it still move smoothly? I've yet to try it..

Suggest you join this FB group... there are a lot of questions similar to yours... I think it is a steep learning curve for anyone who is a first time mum!

These questions you can also ask the Lactation Consultants when they visit you after you give birth, or when they conduct your antenatal class....

http://www.ferventfoodie.com/2010/08/24/overnight-oats-for-dummies-2/
This is a good basic recipe that you can follow... Then what you want to throw in is up to you...
Typically what I do is this -
1/2 cup rolled oats and muesli (museli is optional.... You can juz use oats only... I like a mix of both)
3/4 cup liquid (usually yoghurt and/or milk or a mix, you can use flavored milk or soy milk)
2 teaspoon honey/maple syrup
Dried fruits (raisins/apricots/cranberries/prunes)
Mixed everything together evenly in a container and place in fridge overnight.
For oats I am using this - http://www.iherb.com/Bob-s-Red-Mill-Old-Fashioned-Rolled-Oats-32-oz-907-g/29675 You can use any oats you want or juz get rolled oats from the supermarket... If you use instant or quick cook oats then you may want to use slightly less liquid cuz the oats are processed more thinly so less liquid required to get it soft... Conversely if you are using steel cut oats please use more liquid...
I like my oats more runny, so I use more milk... For hubby's he prefers to use more yoghurt. When we finish our jam or peanut butter, we will keep the container and use it for the oats as can use up the leftover on the jar which adds the sweetness (will skip honey if I use a leftover jar).
In the AM juz before eating I will throw in fresh fruits like banana etc and nuts/seeds... Whatever u like.... Sometimes hubby feels like it he will crumble a choc chip cookie and throw it in too.

Some pictures of our overnight oats...
This is done with Marigold mixed berry yoghurt. Added more raisins and fresh blueberries and an almond/pumpkin/sunflower nut mix I bought at NTUC.
This is hubby's overnight oats in a peanut butter jar so you can see the leftover PB on the sides... Added banana and the same nut mix and a choc chip cookie ( at the top right) in the morning before eating...

Don't think need to visit PD for everything... The immunizations can do at normal GP if they offer or poly clinic... PD I think is good as a standby for more serious cases etc,,,
Experienced mummies pls share your thoughts...
Maybe can try those customise store. I brought a customise cabinet to store them at www.etchandbolts.com

I eat this Crystal Brown Rice that tastes and look like white rice. I forgot what brand. It has a new packaging-a lady farmer's picture at the front. My mum is the one who recommended to me, maybe your mum might like it too.

Depending on the brand of brown rice, some need to soak for 1-2h before cooking, some don't need. By adding more water, the rice will be softer. Or try to steam the rice instead of cooking by rice cooker. It's softer that way too.
The poking is v sianz loh I understand.... Been thro that for 1st preg when I was borderline case. Was made to poke b4 and after every meal for a week +. Lucky reading stable, so no need to continue. Gynae says every pregnancy is diff, this time round I'm cleared. So finger crossed.
@Give a hope oh ya...Avoid white rice porridge! That is v high in sugar!

I eat muesli for breakfast nearly everyday since years ago. It's oats and has nuts and raisins in it and I add in other stuff like cranberries. No need cook, used to drink full cream milk but recently switched to low fat. The brand I currently eating is Lowan, sold at ntuc, it's nice! And I like that the oats are not fried or baked kind, but just normal dried.

Yupz, only 2 wheels can rotate when you are facing the baby.
The husband taught me it works like a forklift. Eg. If you want to turn, normally, you will start turning when your front wheels reach the corner. But when you are facing the baby, only start turning when your back wheels reach the corner. Dnt turn too early because that causes you to drag the stroller. I practised few times at home. Once you get a concept, it is easy.
I knew about this 2 wheels before purchasing but since I dnt wanna spend too much on a stroller, Im okay with this lil imperfection. In addition, I think I will not face the baby that often. Maybe the first few mths only.

I wanted to buy Ingenuity Baby bouncer but the husband is not too keen because can only use for few months. Where do you put the baby during daytime when you want to cook or do some chores?
I can only think of baby bouncer, playpen or cot. Cot can't because it is in the master bedroom. Dnt wanna buy playpen and put in living room because too bulky. My next best option is baby bouncer.
Any suggestions?

you can leave your bb on the mattress in the living room instead. of course baby bouncer is another alternative.

If you think about it, when you cook oats, you are essentially softening it with water and hot milk. If you do overnight oats, you are also softening the oats, but with cold milk. I think your mum is more concerned about the fact that the milk is cold, not that the oats is raw??? My mum doesn't like me to eat cold stuff in the morning, incl orange juice, cold milk etc etc...
Instant oats just went through more processing than rolled oats. It's much thinner because of the longer processing (rolling and steaming) time, but the nutrients remain the same.

liquid in first at least filled half the jar - milk/soy milk/ nut milk
rolled oats - i use 5 heaps of table spoon for brekkie
sweeterner - greek yogurt/preserves/cocoa powder/cinnamon powder/avocado puree/
dried stuffs - pine nuts/dried fruits
overnight oats - only good for 2-3 days in fridge...dun keep for too long!

@Give a hope - yes brown rice have to put about a cup more water than you use for cooking white rice. Alternatively you can try soak the brown rice over night, then try put in half cup more water than white rice ... texture will be softer.
