ineedmilk, yup, u can apply for the passport online also, just submit the photo according to the required specification and bring baby along for verification when u collect the passport. am also thinking of doing one for zephan.
anissa, enjoy your taiwan trip! i'm also itching to tgo taiwan, but not much point if i cannot visit the night markets cos zephan sleeps so early.. unless bring parents along n rotate, but that will make it a v expensive trip leh...

of course need to pay airfare, but infant fare is must cheaper, no seat must request for bassinet. I pay only abt $190 for haowen's fare to perth including airport tax. For adults, the tax alone is $300 for perth, excluding ticket of abt $400-$500.
I need milk,
ya, can apply online. I did it for haowen liao, $50 for 5 years. Already brought him to JB!

The other mothers are right. You will need to pay for baby.

You are welcome. Just print and cut out the coupon will do. Doesn't have to be in colour. But best to call before you go cos we don't usually fly. The no. to call is 6338 6877.

Hi all,
Can i confirm something? Breast milk can store in the freezer for how long huh? Issit 2 weeks or 3 months? I remember reading somewhere it's 3 months leh. But, when i read the milk bag box, it says can only store in freezer for 2 weeks leh. OMG! If it's really true, my bb Kai has been drinking stale milk wor....
re: slow cooker.
I just bought a mini slow cooker for cooking porridge. It doesn't have a knob for adjusting the low heat or high heat. I tried cooking the porridge yesterday and left it there for about 4 hours. The porridge become super dry and sticky. Hee.... silly me.
Think it's on high heat lor. So, max is cook for 1 hour issit?

eileenp:
i normally cook for around 3-4 hrs.. i just put 1 tablespoon of rice + 3 soupspoonfuls of water. Switch on "AUTO" on the slow cooker.. and then i get the not-too-sticky and not-too-watery porridge, just nice.
EBm can store in the fridge for 3 mths. If use deep freezer, can store up to 6 mths.
ixwong:
is it compulsory to request for a bassinet in the plane for baby? Can they just sit on our laps?
tingting:
how to get passport photo for our babies? They can't exactly sit on an adult chair on their own for the photographer to snap a pic rite?

triniti,
i used store in glass bottles from the hospital. Then after the hospital stopped giving it out, then i stopped using and started with milk bags again. Sigh... 2 weeks how to survive?
i_need_milk,
my slow cooker is the smallest one. cannot adjust high, low or auto one leh... only switch on or off.

wah, u gals take such nice pp photos! hope i can take a smiley one of zephan.. will need to borrow someone's white walls cos mine are not white! haha..
eileen, i keep the milk in milk bag in freezer for 3 months, but sometimes zephan doesnt like to drink milk that's frozen for too long. if kai's ok then no problem lah.. i think the concern was that milk bags may burst if kept under frozen condition for too long.
re: porridge
i just inherited a slow cooker n tried it out this weekend.. think i cooked it for too long n in the end the porridge become v watery.. next time learn better. n also bcos when i used stove i added more water cos evaporation faster, so when i used the slow cooker the porridge became too water cos evaporation slower.
just let zephan try sweetcorn in his porridge. it smelt v nice in the cooker, but doesn't taste much of it when i sampled it though..

Hello
Since u all talking abt passport photos, let me share julia's one. I brought her to immigration to take. The photo booth at 2nd level is able to take bb photos. They have this highchair put the bb in, and the auntie will wave some toy to attract the bb attention before snapping the photo. Very fast. Hehe.. Julia looks abit shocked cos of the flash.

re: GUG Trial
my verdict is that it seems abit too advance for our bb now cos there are alot of walking around ... so we gotta keep bending our back to support them while they walk and i actually hurt my back there hahahaha old liao ... my hubby say that should warm up for parents before starting the class
but the project time was q fun and the teachers are q energetic ... i think it would consider GUG seriously only when YC starts to walk lar ... i dun think i can tahan holding him all the time

Re GUG trial
I agree with Seabreeze that the session is too advance for our babies. But quite interesting, seem better than BJG. Will consider signing on when haowen starts to walk. Any idea how long is the waiting list?
raisintan
my 8.5MO haowen still cannot crawl on fours too. He can crawl on his tummy using his right leg, dunno how to use left leg yet!
Angel
Ya, pix too small. Hmm..i oso can't help liao. Tink u need your ms picture.

Yeay, jus came back fr my cruise trip last wed. I survived! hee hee.. was fun bringing baby!
And Keyon enjoyed crawling ard the deck! I shld say its very baby friendly wif cot & heinz bottled food provided.
skippy, u didn't apply the starkid card? $10 registration fee but cruise free leh, only the $106 seaport tax, otherwise its 25% of adult fare.

applejuz:
what u do during the cruise ah? Was wondering if its boring for baby.. i'm deciding btw taking baby to Hong Kong or maybe take cruise. My hb is suggesting Sentosa!
jh, raisintan:
no worries.. my girl learned how to twist and turn and flip recently.. and she is almost 9 mths!! And she still screams when she's on all fours but can crawl backwards.. i figured she's jus too laid-back to crawl.
seabreeze:
wah, i see the photos like YC on all fours all the time hor? Kept seeing his buttocks/red shorts!

ineedmilk, no problem about the FM. That was for you anyway.
for trips, i was thinking maybe dont be too adventurous the first time, and perhaps should go to a more relaxing place. HK is a shop n eat place leh.. baby wont be able to keep up w ur pace, and u may not feel satisfied that u cannot shop to ur heart's content..
btw, anyone has a single-bottle warmer carrier to give away? I've got a double-bottle one, but sometimes it's leh chay to bring that when i only take 1 bottle out.
<font color="0000ff">One day, a little girl is sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly notices that her mother has several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast to her brunette hair.
She looks at her mother and inquisitively asks, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then asked, "Momma, how come all of grandma's hairs are white?" </font>

applejuz,

Re GUG:
i agree wit seabreeze, the class is more suitable for older bb...
phoebe,

i need milk ...
hahahaha u noticed too?? Was telling the mummies that sure see my boy buttock most of the time one cos he just cant sit still to take photo ... will crawl away asap
re: crawling
anyway heard that crawling is not a milestone and some bb skip the crawling stage completely n start to walk ... so no worries lar
re: GUG
i feel that once we hear lots of good review abt the class we tend to have a v high expectations of it ... now that I have been to GUG, BJG, Gymboree and Kindermusik... feel that Gymboree is the most suitable one for YC now cos its mainly play and the most important thing is that I dun have to carry him all the time hahahahaha can just leave him there to crawl around
personally i feel that its good to expose them to at least one of such classes to build their social skills ... YC is like a terror at home but when he is at gymboree ... he is like a mouse like that hahahaha ... cant be away from me for more than 1m and he was the happiest when he was crawling in the tunnel *faint*
