Rue,
Yes, similar to Bidosoh, I will put a piece of carrot, corn or meat when I boil porridge for flavoring and he likes that the porridge has flavor. I had thought of putting a few drops of Bovril or Marmite (which I had when I was young) but hadn't resorted to doing that since he is OK with his porridge now. I'm trying not to introduce too salty or sweet taste to him yet.

Ashley and Adelynn, see you on Friday. Hope it will be sunny, very wet recently.
Ashley, Lit H is acting only. She is overwhelmed by the new environment and people. Her true self is in hiding. If the things she is playing is taken over, she will also cry. However for new things she can play quietly for a long time if nobody disturb her. It is her character, very different from her brother.

I find some favours of the Heinz jar quite tasteless. But anyway, its my son who ate if I do not have frozen reserves left.
I cook porridge and put in 1-2 tablesp of Heinz(normally use the recipes kind)
recently, toast and grind the silverfish into powder.
Put in porridge, got some taste.
But 1 batch, i din grind v well still can see 1 whole fish. Let my son try, he can't chew and wont swallow, i have to dig out from his mouth.

bearycue, it all depend on individual baby development. I think sporty boy only take rice from 8mths. While my own boy only start taking rice at 4 year old. He is taking porridge all the while. He will gag everytime we give him chunky food when he is under 4 yo. So you monitor your own baby development.
My boy can take marcoroni at 1.5yo, but only 1-2 pieces at a time. So need sometime to finish everything.
Actually as long as you are giving balance diet, there is no need to jump into rice/chewy food so fast. Won't affect their teeth too. So no need to worry to much.

hello all!
finally weekend is slowly approaching!
weather is sooo good tha i wished i could continue to zzz every morn instead of waking up to go to work!!
bidosoh, haha! ur description of Lil H is v funny esp the "hao lian" part! but for gals, i think their ultimate "weapon" is to CRY!! then esp the daddies will quickly go and pacify them!
funne, i used to join sprees in the spree section to buy lor...now i dunno whether still have or not...
bearycue, my gal takes porridge on weekdays and weekends, we normally will feed her rice and she takes it quite well also... even the porridge on weekdays, its more grain like kind rather than soft and mashy kind cuz i wanna train her to chew...so next time she wun be so reliant on porridge... yeah, bidosoh was rite, my son rejected porridge last time and he started taking rice when he was 8 mths old... so it all depends on ur bb...like what bidosoh said, more importantly is they have a balanced diet...

Hi ladies!
Long time never log in. My girl seems to be weaning herself off milk recently. Takes maybe about 400ml per day max ... will this affect her growth?
As for her solids, she has been having soup, rice, mee sua, mee and everything except porridge. N she no longer likes her food mash, now she expects us to let her eat like adults like us.

rue, Zoophonics lessons are also very similar to GUG. Both have zoophonics. I find GUG standard is better in terms of teacher quality. Actually most play groups lessons are rather similar. The only difference is teacher quality. This week, they have another teacher for our class as the original teacher is on leave. This teacher is just as good. Even if you go to a 'brandless' school if the teacher can control the class and conduct the lesson in an interesting/lively manner it is worthwhile to enrol already. Why not you go for their trial lesson. I have been to their trial class during my son's time. You can go for trial class for different centres lah, then you decide which one you feel most comfortable with.
Bidosoh -Yeah, Lil H was crawling and walking around in class. But in general, she's a cool kid. It is interesting to see how each kid reacts in class.
Btw, for mommies who were at the GUG class, can someone please remind of the lyrics to the 'Sitting down' song and 'Bubba the Bear' song? I sort of can remember but ain't sure of the correct lyrics. I wanna sing to my son.

momoko,
my gal opposite. Now she drinks lotsa milk but take very little solid. Less than half the portion she used to take.
*angry with my MIL*
i kw my gal want to self-feed so i let her be, messy nd to clean up later also nvm. Then my mil not happy. She said hw can i let my gal self-feed. Make a mess, if go outside to eat also like this no table manners!! OMG! She's expecting a toddler who just started self feed to exhibit table manner?? Then later my MIL said i spoilt litt C. Because i encourage her to self-feed, end up very difficult to spoon feed her. Damn upset, but i must "ren" cos i rely on her to take care on litt C while i'm working. Also i feel that the atmophere at hm very bad. The grandparents keep saying litt C "naughty, bad, beat ur buttock" even when she did nothing wrong! I'm so tempted to send her to full day childcare.

Morning mummies!
Sporty, the zoo trip was fun! There was a bit of rain but overall the weather was pretty good. I had to leave early cos I was knackered and so was lil A. Really admire the energy of the rest of the mommies!
As for songs from GUG, I tried singing them to my girl but she just ignore me.
Rue, living with old folks are like that. Just close one eye cos like what you said, you need your MIL's help to babysit lil C. Maybe you can try to explain to her the benefits of self-feeding. Initially, my mum also doesn't encourage my girl to self-feed but cos my girl will let out her glass-shattering screams if she doesn't get to feed herself during meal time, my mum gave in. Soon my mum realised that my girl can feed herself pretty well with a spoon and now she encourage toddlers to self-feed too.
As for the grandparents' comments, are they just teasing lil C? Cos sometimes my parents like to do that too.

Rue,
I realize that the older generation usually educate by commenting in an indirect way, e.g. they'd not praise and be 'negative' about it towards the kids so as not to spoil them. I think it's the traditional way.
Whereas we parents are more westernized and we have read up more western books which introduce us to direct praising of kids to encourage them.

rue, when my mum carry my girl she also gently pat her pipi and say, naughty girl. She said it in a very affectionate way. So I know she actually doesn't mean it. So your mil may also be like that.
Well you just have to 'ren'. Same for me, I also have alot of frustruation at times, still have to ren. Anyway, even if you sent your gal to childcare, when they fall sick, they still have to be at home. End up your MIL will still need to take care. So think of the bright side. You are more at easy and is confident that your gal will be taken care properly by family members. That is the most important. Also you don't have to be bothered about household chores. Just concentrate on playing/teaching your girl when you are free.
Ashley, lil A is so clever to self feed so well. So she can finish a bowl of porridge by herself? That is really amazing.

Bidosoh, no lah my girl cannot finish a bowl by herself...she just can scoop up the food from the bowl and put into the mouth...of course most of the time, the food will drop quite a bit from the bowl to her mouth. She is still learning but has improved a lot with practice.
