Reira, Zach is TBF so most probably is due to solids he took liao.
babyja, i thk as long as the stool is soft is not a concern cos it's quite common for FM babies. btw, is this number u called friso to get free sample 6734 9294?
I wan to get one to standby in case my gal cannot take similac.

hey mummies,
does anyone here give raw carrot/vege for your baby to bite during their teething period?
my bb's nanny cut a block of carrot for my bb to bite. so instead of biting a soft rattle, my bb will bite on carrot. do u all think it is ok?
also i only started my bb with only one feed on cereal. i have not started any other food yet.. so is it ok or not? haa... she's 6.5month already

hahhaha, yahor! 2 tooth = bunny 2 front tooth. hahahah!
Btw, just wondering if anyone here has not started with any other solid food other than cereal? I know many mummies have started with many different types of foods, but my mum and nanny have the same opinion that i do not need to start so fast on other food. haa.. so i take for granted too as i don't know how to prepare other food other than cereal which i just need to add water. hahahaha.. lousy mummy.

if i recall correctly between 6-8mths old is more abt a period of tasting and introducing new foods.... but 8-9mths onwards... solids shld be a main componenent of her diet and not milk...
i oso dunno how to prepare mah... go read up on weaning recipes books..and try on ur own on weekends.

yup yup, going to library to borrow books..right now i m just relying too much on nanny. waiting for her cue when to feed bb.
don't know why this few days my gal has been waking at 5am to ask for milk~ her usual time should be 8am. i have not woken up in such an early morning for a very long time.

donekymami, ok will try this weekend. thanks so much... sound v fun.
i manage to stop my breast pumping. Take weeks coz i was so hesitant to stop! feel so 'sayang' to stop but i have no choice.
went for a neck xray and the report says that i've a loss of normal curvature. going to see specialist next month.
so for those who are still breastfeeding/pumping, please make sure you have a good posture. the pain of my neck is terrible, thus i really feel like turning back the clock to where my bb was just born.

for steaming of foods right? i will usually cut a appropriate size for the baby.. and steam that whole pc (instead of cutting to smaller pieces, this will prevent nutrients loss via evaporation). i had bought the smallest sized steamer for that same purpose as well.
so far, my understanding
1) fruits - 5 to 10 minutes (nowadays i dun even steam, just blend direct
2)pumpkin - 8-10minutes
3)sweet potato - 10minutes
4) potato - 10minutes.
u try it urself... first time u open the steamer at 5 minutes..poke with a fork.. if too hard.. continue steaming another 3-5minutes... then next day u can directly steam 8-10minutes oredi, instead of always having to open the cover..just fine tune it everyday k?

hi smurfy thanks! i don't have a steamer so i guess i have to do a manual steam. hee, thanks so much for your sharing. will do that! cool!
Hi welcome back Pris. Ray is fortunate to have tried so many variety of food. I wish I knew more about cooking too. Will have to pick it up along the way as I want to prepare wholesome food for Sophie too. So far she enjoys her rice cereal with fruits. But only tried apples and bananas so far. Am going to introduce her to carrots, sweet potatoes next and then back to fruits like pear and papaya.
I have been using my philips steamer and blender and find it really convenient and fuss free. Steaming is about 5,10 mins, depending on the food item. Then can just blend after steaming is complete and food is ready. Hehe as you can tell I'm rather lazy so getting this was quite good buy for me.
Confinement lady with G6PD experience
Asking on behalf of colleague who is now expecting. Gyne told her chances of her baby having G6pd is high so she wants to engage a confinement lady with experience with G6PD babies as she will not be able to take ginger and herbs. Also preferable be able to converse in English as my colleague cant speak Mandarin. Any recommendations mummies?
Night wakings
Sophie has been waking up crying every night since thursday. She usually cries in the middle of the night and she'll arch her body like she's in pain. Most of the times, me and hubby will carry and pat her and she'll sleep after a while. But last night she didnt sleep until I gave her the teething tablets as I suspect she's teething. Will teething cause babies discomfort like that! Pris, you mentioned giving Ray frozen hankie but wouldn't it be dripping wet when he bites it?

Hi April,
Hmm...think i will try your "recipe" this sat/sun. haha...For someone who doesn't cook at all, i hope that i can get it right. BUt must get the fish. Quite tough for me cos usually don't cook and if we go marketing on sat already quite late liao. Will check with my MIL if she can buy more for me to bring home to cook. By the way, you free to meet up on weekend? haha..always say that sengkang/punggol mummies meet up but never successful. Haha...i'm only available on weekend cos weekday working.
Hi Pris,
Will the hanky have those furry stuff if we give it to the babies? I wanted to do it over the weekend but HB stopped me from doing it.

claire,
My little M has COMPLETELY healed! Praise God. I brot her to Chee something one in Thomson, cos I made appt already and that's the nearest to my house.
Perhaps you better bring yours to see one of the drs?
Just to share with u my experience at Chee.
Waitig time: Short (Abt 15 min)
Doc: Old, experienced. I didn't even tell him what was wrong with little M. All he did was touch her hands, left and right and then he could tell me all that was wrong with her (I was SO Impressed!)
Fees: No fees (Just give doc any amt as an ang pow), only need to pay for medication. (Medicine ex - $14.)
He told me to go again, but since she's well and the phleghm somehow "disappeared", I reckon no need go?
