Poko,
Dun give up. Like triniti said, got to trial and error to determine what the bb like. U can start out porridge as wendyg had described - mill the rice grains before cooking. Start simple w just 1 fish and 1 veg and see if Justen like it. U can make the porridge tastier by using chicken/pork stock instead of water (boil water, carrot, potato, onion, chicken/pork and simmer for 2-3 hrs). I usually made extra and freeze in ice-cube trays for other meals.

I'm still not sure abt introducing breakfast. Today haowen only took abt 640ml of milk, so not sure if the high milk intake is due to frequent feedings of smaller qty by nanny. Will monitor tomorrow and see how. If his intake tomorrow is same as today, will have to talk to my nanny to adjust his per meal intake.

Thanks all for sharing a listening ear, and also share your tips on weaning... I think I will have to continue trying.
ixwong, 640ml is quite acceptable, considering he's supposed to take 240ml x 3 times a day. if he's not taking his solids well, maybe he needs to increase his activity level? we let sephan crawl, walk, stand, jump.. think it sort of works up his appetite.. not to mention that he's a glutten by nature.. 
today i totally messed up his schedule. he cried in the morning n in my blurness i read the clock as 6.30am, which was his usual waking time. so i went in to feed him. only after that did i realise it was actually only 5.30am! so this morning he slept till 8.30am, and only now starting to take his morning nap.. haiz.. hope he can go back to his schedule by tonight..
poko, at the beginning zephan also took v little cereal, only later we realised he preferred a different texture n warmer. so it's really a lot of trial n error. when it comes to introducing types of food, if he rejects one type, can try to introduce it again say 1 week later. will be quite a bit of wastage, but if u dun mind mash can just eat it urself...

triniti,
thanks for the advice, think I shd not be so lazy too hehehe, I find it difficult 2b SAHM. Too used to hv lots of me time plus spending power. Now, I need to look after when she is awake, struggle with my work when she is asleep. Thank goodness I hv a maid to handle the cleaning else think that I will go crazy. One good thing though, when the credit card company called me to offer me more cards, I would say sorry I'm out of job and they will back off. hahahahaha
Do u puree the pasta for anton? Wondering how to feed porridge and pasta coz she doesnt hv teeth to chew yet.
Re: stimulating environment, u are really on. I dun really like to let my gal watch tv as I am afraid that it will affect her eyes. Bought her lots of toys but she dun really play with them like illustrated on the manufacturer's pics of baby playing. hahahahaha

Hi adelyee
No problem at all
U can ask me all the questions you want to ask and I will try to answer them...I don't think I am a wonderful mum..I just want to try my best...

Actually prolonged watching of the TV will affect anyone's eyesight but because children have very short attention span, they dun focus on the tv all the time..maybe 10 mins on the tv and another 10 mins on the toys and another 5 mins on the tv and another 5 mins gazing elsewhere...
I try to go out myself for lunch with my friends so I don't have to face Anton 24/7...I do agree that it can be quite difficult when you feel that your whole world revolves around your child..but this is only so during the first year..subsequent years when they can walk and so on..both of you can do activities together...so it won't be so one-sided anymore
yes I puree my pasta since it is still quite 'big' and 2 lumpy but I still make is slightly lumpy so the texture is not completely smooth cos I want him to practise chewing so he can go on to nicer food. So gradually when I know he has no problem taking slightly lumpy food, then I will stop pureeing the food and just mash it..

Anissa,
Clarence so cute! Aiya, pink car oso nice leh..
Hey, he brought Clarence to Suntec Junior League right?
Keyon oso cut his hair there twice. 1st time by a man, very pro & fast.
2nd time, man 'off day', so a lady did the cut, aiyo, steady but toooo slow
until Keyon became impatient & spoil the haircut. Now very short & looks 'toot toot' liao..

Applejuz,
Ya!!! That's the place. Actually wanted the guy to do for him but he was busy so in the end got the 'aunty' instead. She is good too but very slooooow. In the end, Clarence became impatient and she couldn't do his 'top'
The haircut like half-done like that. Hahaha ... will try to pose a pic later tonight to show.

Shao Yan,
One method i use to relieve constipation is to give gripe water. I usually add 1 teaspoon to the milk whenever my boy is constipated.

Hey mummies,
Can i ask how do you all clean your babies' ears? bb Kai's ears are quite dirty leh. But i don't dare to get near them. I just used wet cotton sticks to clean the outside and whatever i can see on the inside. But still can't get rid of the dirt leh. Think he feels really itchy there cause he always uses his hands to rub his ears.

re: washing clothes
i must be the most lazy of all when it comes to washing clothes.. at first, i wash only his stuff in washing machine n using kodomo detergent. now, i wash with the adults' clothes as well n use dynamo.. but make it more diluted so that no residue will stick onto the clothes.
btw, i think i may have 1 more unopened kodomo detergent. anyone interested to buy over?

mornin mommies!
hi anissa,
recently we oso went for a 2-wk hol with my boy..almost half of our luggage was like his stuff - clothes, bb food, fm, diapers, rocker, medications, etc etc..haha. for diaper, after much deliberation (thot it was bulky n tk up space), we decided to bring one pack of petpet there, on avg abt 5-6pc per day lor. it depends on the plc u go whether it's ez/hv time to get to the supermarts to buy the diapers n oso if yr bb is used to other brands of diapers. for us it turned out dat the local supermarts there hv limited brands (only 2-3 brands!)of diapers lor (not to mention super ex), so was glad i brought my petpet along
btw, do rem to request for the bassinet for yr flight in advance!
hi eileen, my boy oso always tug at his ears, at one stage he was so violent dat they bled. we chked w pd as we suspected ear infection, but pd said if u press at the side of the ear n he din looked like in pain then its not infection. oso look out for any discharge fr the ears. sometimes they do it either out of habit or teething (as they feel discomfort at the jaw area). so dun worrie cos ear tuggin may not def be due to infection. of course a trip to the pd to confirm will set yr heart at ease
vone, saw u mentioned yr boy teething n was tinkin to myself my boy still bo gey..but he was coughin a bit over the wkend n had some persistent rash ard his mouth n chin so went to feel his gums..then tis blur mommy realised he oso has one little tooth poppin out!! haha..so blur
