No need la. U can feed breakfast then when 10 mth can try lunch again. U can use slow cooker. Prepare the ingredients the night before n put in fridge then when ur lo wake up put everything in the slow cooker n cook.

Otherwise, why not try breakfast give him rice cereal, lunch - a quick pureed porridge with bits of fish and dinner, also a quick pureed porridge with bits of meat? Texture must be smooth for easy swallowing.

Else like what snow said, prepare the ingredients the night before and throw everything in the slow cooker? But requires at least 2-3 hours I guess? (I havent bought a small slow cooker yet, mine is a bigger one to cook soup and that takes about 5-6 hours)
 
Hello mummies...guess everyone is busy w the festive season ya...wishing everyone merry chirstmas n happy new year 1st :)

As usual I hv question...haha...pls pardon me ...haha..

There is a lot of selection of sippy cup in the market n I m confuses n when do I intro the sippy cup to bb? Is the purpose of sippy cup to encourage bb to drink water or out grown the bottle?

TIA

Hahaha...my boy, coming to 3 years old next mar, is still using milk bottle when he cries for milk in the wee hours :p
 
So by 7 mths how many milk feeds should they take. If eat solid twice a day how many milk feed we give. It seems like my boys are still drinking lots of milk even with one solid meal.

Drink lotsa milk is good within their first year! I think it depends on how much solid they eat. If it's just food tasting, then the number of milk feeds should maintain

The usual sequence is spout, sippy then straw. Both my #1 and #2 went on to use sippy at about 7months and straw cup by 10months. Like @towkayneo , my #1 is still using milk bottle for his morning and night feed though he is turning 4 soon.

I intro my boy to sippy cup (at 6mths) and straw cup (at 7mths) already. So far he prefers straw cup. I use them to give him water when I'm feeding him and when he's playing. Normally when I see his poop is pretty dry or he poop little by little then I'll give him more water. My sis said if not enough water then they can get constipated also.

Oh so cool that you boy know how to use the straw cup!

Mine think is a toy n keep throwing it around ..n I think is not avocado or broccoli etc he don't like..is practically most of the stuff he will make a face or gag lo..*throw my hand in the air..argh**

It always a war time feeding him lunch n I drag the process of gg on to dinner ..

Don't worry just keep trying and giving him the straw cup. One day he will suddenly get it :) it took more than a month for my girl to know how to use it. Or another way i heard from my friend to "train" is to get a small amt of water into a normal straw and put in their mouth, so they know the straw is for drinking.

If ur boy does not really like most of the food, u can try baby led weaning.
 
Hi. I'm first time mum, no maid no mother, no mil and needs to prepare my boy for solids. Is there anywhere to find recipes ? I have been researching youtube but looks like I defnitely need a good baby processor. Any recommendations on whats reliable ? I hear some brands are very hard to wash. Any tried and tested way to make sure the baby will have balanced diet? so many children end up hating veggies like my sister's children do not even eat a single strand of veg. any advice appreciated.

How old is ur baby?
If starting on solids, u can try vege puree first. Like mashed avocado, pumpkin (sometimes kids don't like pumpkin, then use butternut squash), banana, baby rice, baby oats.
After abt 1-2 mth u can try blended meat into the rice porridge.
Subsequently by abt 7-8 mth, I progressed to porridge totally.

Personally i didn't get any special processor. Just use normal blender to blend.

Mine is very impatient that's why he prefers the straw. Lol.

If he doesn't have any allergic reaction why don't you try to mix and make a puree. I normally give my son pureed - potato,carrot, spinach and sometimes I'll add pear or dates or apple. He seems to prefer when mixed than with one vege only. But do this only after trying individual one and confirming no allergic reaction. So far mine is allergic to broccoli and butternut squash give him 'wind'. Anyway, the cons is that mine loves eating so much now that I can't have peace when eating. He will stare at us when we're eating and ask for some. *faints*

Hi all mommies, can I ask anyone here spotting until 11-12 weeks during pregnancy and went on with smooth delivery? I m now 10weeks now and still spotting bit by bit. Doc just said will get better after 1st trimester. Baby is fine and has strong heartbeat. I was hopping my spotting to stop soon.

I was spotting shortly after BFP followed by 2 red bleeding episodes on consecutive week 6 & 7 with slight cramps for the 2nd episode. Had max support med with bi-weekly jabs till end of 1st tri. But very glad that all went well and my twins are 7mths old now. Do get loads of rest, eat well (home made chicken essence are the best!) and get support med or jab from your gyne. As long as bb is fine with strong heartbeat, everything will be ok. Hang on there. It does get better after 1st trimester, at least for me though the worries are never-ending. Stay positive. Take care!

I spotted during first tri too and had smooth delivery. Sometimes bleed a lot! It got better after 11 wks. Try to rest as much as possible.
