Milk powder info so far: most infant formulas (can't name the brands specifically but I would say 90% of them) contain some sugar in the form of glucose syrup solids. The flavour it imparts depends on the type of milk protein used, as flavours and colours are not allowed in infant formula. If you have specific questions, send me a PM.
patsy, chubby cuter mah...but i'm thankful he's not too heavy else, my hand will break. last night i brought Samuel to a friend's wedding dinner. he slept from 9.30pm onwards. but before that, i carried and pat him to sleep for at least 15 mins. my arms suffered manz...he's only around 10kg. i really peifu FUN man. Alden's 11kg!!! *faint*
fushiastar, i'll check MM2 out. i wonder how much it is...i'll probably drop them an email to find out.
i think i can only give Samuel variety during weekends when i'm home. i can't trust my maid to cook for him leh...now, his porridge is always with the following: -
- wolfberries
- 2 vegetables (leafy & non-leafy)
- threadfin or cod fish
- pork or ikan bilis

Sneaky: yep, I carried Xaby for 45 mins yesterday while HB go and wait for the fried rice for dinner, needed to put Salompas on my shoulders this morning!
Fun: 11 kgs!!!! i dunno if I can carry her to sleep if Xaby gets to 11 kgs. May need back rub every day!
Fushiastar: hard to say... because Xaby is high risk for allergies (both HB and my side have history of eczema) she is still on soy based milks. Slowly introducing cow milk to her but not rushing into it. The standard follow on milks have basically the same components and will vary only in type of fat used, level of sugar and type of protein. Would recommend one that has a higher whey protein rather than casein as mothers milk is predominantly whey although after 6 months, this ratio is not as critical as babies tend to be able to digest casein proteins. (is this too technical??)
kris: ahhhhhhhhhh so spaghetti/macaroni also can?
mickeymum: this week Xaby is having pumpkin with cod, onions, leeks, spring onions and xiao pai chai. everyday different food tho, and no yellow food 2 days in a row coz she might turn yellow

actually wont ach wan la.. after he doze off just let him lay on yr chest to sleep which u can sit down lor, or put him on the bed
nite time we both sleep with him on the bed, he will release all his energy by climbing up the bed headboard and crawling all over us.. haha.. so no need to carry to sleep.

fun: had to carry coz was in the car! and because we cannot train her to sleep by herself for fear of a tet spell (turn blue due to excessive crying) i have no choice but to carry her to sleep until she's in deep sleep. The lazy princess still doesn't want to crawl but is learning to climb all over us when in bed!

fun, how much is Alden supposed to drink har? Samuel's only drinking around 480ml a day..is this alright? when i say 120ml, it means water level. the FM mixture turns out to be around 150ml. so how much is he drinking exactly?
mikeymum, wah, behind Michael is a world map. you're making him study the map already? keke

San, Sneaky
Alden drinking 2-3 times, 180ml each time.. actually i told PD he onli taking 2 times recently.. She say not enough lor.. i suppose above 500ml will be ideal.. cos she advise 3-4 times based on 180ml each time..
She say if he doesn take as main meal.. den give inbetween... even 60 or 120ml each time is gd enough after u add all up. She also advise can add FM into cereal to bluff him.
Alden takes porridge twice a day too.

mikeymum, wahhh...so interesting...i only have the Kindermusik pictures in our room. maybe i'll get some interesting number/alphabetical pictures to stick around the room...
Samuel is walking with 1 hand held by an adult. he's also walking round and round the coffee table on his own.

mikeymum: egg custard hardens due to the egg white, milk protein will solidify only if curdled (acidic or too high temp) but not enough in formula to get the texture.
am very jealous of all your babie who are standing/starting to cruise!!! xaby still content with moving her bum around to get what she wants!!!

about MILK.. read that milk is still the main source of nutrients for babies less than 1 year old.. so must try to give some lor.. i also hide her milk in porridge, cereal.. sprinkle on top of her meats..also as a dip for bread.. zoe can't take eggs yet, but for those who can, got this receipe fr another mummy.. she steams fm powder w egg white, says that her babies love it.. yet another way to try to hide the milk..
about PUMPKIN.. for babies that can take yoghurt.. can try this, v yummy
just boil pumpkin til soft and add yoghurt inside and stir..
that's what i always do to leftover pumpkin and i eat it all up..
Patsy: thanks
i did quite a bit of bio so still can understand..
zoe also high allergy group.. i'm allergic to prawns, have asthma,eczema and alleagic rhinitis.. yeah the whole allergy march.. and hubby is allergic to walnuts.. so zoe v v high risk.. already has skin atopy.. i didn't know that high allergy should take soy based FM.. xaby's social development is fast! zoe can say only "papa" and wave bye bye when she feels like it and do twinkle star together w the song
cannot clap although i've been trying to teach her that or say "mama".. still calls me "airh"

Patsy: thanks
heee heee fushiastar: you sound like me 
allergic to everything. That's why we'll never have a dog or a cat. Soy milk was just recommended by her PD/cardio to prevent any possible reaction to cow's milk (in infant formula). Xaby will do the things if she feels like it --- last night asked her to wave bye bye to her Kong Kong she started to clap
And she says "aboooooooooooooo boooooooo" if she's not happy about something. Her daddy is very jealous she says mama and not papa, so now everytime he sees her, he goes "Xaby call papa" hehehe

patsy:
zoe screams when she's unhappy.. for me it's the opposite.. hubby is always happy to hear her say papapapa.. and tries to teach her to call me mama but still unsucessful... zoe also loves kiwi.. i tried the kiwi cereal that she seems to love so much, so sour! but she loves it.. zoe puts everything, Except food in her mouth! i managed to get her to self feed finger foods like florets of broccoli and carrot sticks and bread 1-2 months ago.. now when i give her these same foods she just happily squashes them up and drops them fr her high chair to the floor..won't put them in her mouth to eat
^KinderMusik.. went w zoe for the trial yesterday.. she really loved it.. it was a v international crowd and zoe hasn't really seen caucasian babies (you know all blond hair and blue eyes) before and she was just staring at them! she was happily smiling and baby babbling throughout the whole class and banging on the drum.. also kept trying to crawl to the centre of the circle (all babies and mummies sit in a circle on the floor).. think i'm gonna send her to a few more trial classes since she enjoyed it so much.. anyone been to julia gabriel?

yo mummies! haven't been to the forum for some time...all the babies are so cute!
here's a pix of Rae.
she always dash to grab the camera case to put in her mouth whenever i try to take pix of her.
Patsy, she's born on the same day as Xaby too!
Last friday, I brot her to KKH and took an xray. she's actually down with pneumonia. while recovering from salmonella, she caught a flu fr my bb sitter's daughter and her cough with phlegm didn't improve. the phlegm's in her rite lung. doc prescribed antibiotics for 7 days.
now I've chose to be a SAHM! take care of her myself.
I was so pissed with my bb sitter.
when i told her tat she got pneumonia, she said cannot eat pork.
I was so angry! told her it's because you never keep your daughter away from mine and wear a mask and never observe proper hygiene. it has nothing to do with pork!
hopefully my mum can stop work by end of the year to take care of her.
fushiarstar, got any chance to buy the organic brown rice?
