my world has turned upside down eversince my ger arrived. i can only get some 'me' time to surf net in peace when she sleeps, which explains the unearthly hour of my post. even so, she will keep waking up as if she noes tt im nt asleep yet.

i tink u shld change to a bigger size diaper le cos the size difference is mainly in the length of the diaper n tat shld cater for more leg space. shld still be able to stick @ the waist..
i oso had the same experience feedin nestle cereal. its v liquid no matter hw little milk/water i add. it makes feedin v frustrating for both my ger n me so i changed to HT cereal.
when our babies start semi-solid, their waste will definitely harden (nt as loose as when they were only drinkin BM) so tats y may be more difficult to pass out n they choose to keep it in instead. u'll hv to let them drink more water lor.. sweet potato helps for my ger. can c her stomach 'deflated' after she passed motion 3x for 2 continuous days n the consistency is quite soft.

I seat my ger in the Bumbo chair on the floor. Will switch off tv when feeding so she can concentrate on eating. i will 'poke' her lower lip wif the feeding spoon and say 'Ah' to prompt her to open her mouth if she does nt automatically do so.

i strongly recommend the rubber bibs with a 'bin' to catch food. i was using the cloth bibs n its quite difficult to get rid of the sticky porridge bits. like tubbymummy, i prefer washing bib than cleaning the whole eating area.

my HT brown rice & barley cereal occasionally shows up brown/black specks but i tot nothing of it. maybe its the husks/bran or something? it shldnt b overpowering. if it is, maybe u shld contact the mfr?

can share hw did yr PD arrive @ the milk vol of 500ml? is it weight dependent or? i haven sourced for a PD yet, so far only seeing GP. wonderin if i shld schedule a visit wif PD to do a routine check on my ger.

i read the box leh.. it says 5 tbsp is 1 serving for brown rice & barley. 8 tbsp = 1 serving is perhaps the oatmeal?

since our babies can eat barley cereal, y nt barley water? but juz dun add sugar.

if yr ger has no prob wif cereal (since she has oredi been takin it for 2 wks), it is alrite to mix new food ie pumpkin into it. the familiar taste of the cereal will encourage her to eat the pumpkin together. in the event she shld develop allergy (touchwood!), the culprit is the pumpkin there is really no hard & fast rule on hw u mix the food but watever works best for yr baby.
for me, i try to let my girl hv different tastes for the sake of variety. eg wif brown rice cereal, avocado and apple, i will let her taste the original taste of each food n oso mix & match brown rice wif avocado/apple.

u can apply online. i personally find it more convenient n can save $$ no need to develop passport size photos! *grinz*
