Alden just went for his GUG baby class yesterday.. he was the 2nd oldest there, more active than the rest of the babies. He still roams ard the room like last time, but he is more attentive on wat is going on in the group even tho he doesnt not sit on the mat like others. Quite a nice experience for Alden and me
They have now relocated at Level 1, a new renovated place with abt 8 rooms. They also have their very own toilets for children, better than the old place.

hi moms.. just a survey - how many of you have switched yr kids to Fresh Milk ? I happend to ask 2 of my colleagues if they want the extra mamil 3 that i have and they ask me why I switch to fresh milk so soon... I said cos' my PD said so and they say that their kids at 6 yrs old still drinking formula..
which is better ??
which is better ??
pammie
It realli depends on individual parents.. my relative stays in Australia, the culture there is give FResh milk as early as 6mths old. There not much choices in FM, but lots of Fresh milk brands to choose from and cheap cheap too!
Ang mos all give fresh milk to their kids.. its realli depends on what u believe. If u believe tat Fm can make their brain grow in a smarter way den continue with it. if u think fresh or FM doesnt make a difference, den Fresh ones also can lor
BUT baby's stomach must be able to take fresh milk la.. cos of the lactose.

pammie: FM will definitely have more vits/mins plus the brain food (i.e. DHA/ARA/SA) that Fun mentions, plus the medium chain triglycerides whihc is essential for vitamin metabolism. there will probably be a higher amount of calcium too as it is more difficult to add in calcium in fresh milk due to sedimentation issues as compared to powdered milk. Fresh milk will also not have the choline/taurine (amino acid pre-cursors).
the thrust of FM producers recently is to try to mimic BM as close as possible, hence the addition of all the extras.
another thing you have to consider is that fresh milk (i.e. from cows basically) has a different protein ratio as that of human milk. FM milk manufacturers are now trying to use the same ratio of whey vs casein because this affects the "absorption rate" of the nutrients in the milk. For example, weight lifters drink whey protein shakes before lifting weights to give them energy, but will drink casein drinks after to help rebuild the cells that were exhausted during physical activity
personally, I think this is beneficial to the babies

pammie: in my opinion, for the ages of our babies, yes, I would stick to FM

Zoophonic trial was great though find some of e activities abit advance for Janelle. But she enjoyed herself, even manage to pick up e sounds of "A" & "F" after just 1 lesson. The art & craft part was a diaster for me lah. Janelle had paint all over her top, hand, face & even on my face too
lucky can be wash off. I'm arranging to enrol her for class on Wed morning as this is the only session with Mandarin programme.
Brought Janelle to a goat farm last Sat to buy goat milk. Here's some pictures to share:-</font>

Yes, Janelle is taking goat milk now. I substitute it for 1 of her milk feed & also use it to mix w her cereal.
Goat's milk is a very good source of calcium and a good source of protein, phosphorous, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and potassium & low in lactose.
Got this from e net:-
Cow's milk and goat's milk protein are both comprised of around 80% casein (milk) protein and 20% whey protein. Because goats eat the same thing year round, the fatty acid content remains consistent. On the other hand, cows often feed on different grains depending on the season creating variations in this area.
Cholesterol levels are the same for both types of milk, but goat's milk has more of vitamins A, B6, and D and also more potassium, manganese, chloride, and copper. Its calcium content is quite a bit higher as well. Levels of vitamin B12 and zinc are generally a bit lower. The higher potassium content contributes to maintaining low blood pressure, essential in avoiding strokes and heart attacks.

So you warm it up before feeding Janelle? Brennan no longer eating cereal at home. Thats why sold off all my cereals except for Nestle ones. Weekends morning we will bring him out to kopitiam to eat zhu chang fen. If we didnt go out for breakfast, then i will feed him bread. after which he will have his milk feed.

May I know what is a good time to start bb in using straw to drink? brennan still drinks his plain water via spoon feeding. last time tried using sprout but he doesnt want to drink, just keep bitting the soft spout and playing with the water. I actually bought the harder spout but duno if i should just let him try the straw now that he is older?
How can I determine if he is ready to drink using the straw? Or shall i let him try the harder spout first?

now brennan is coughing with alot of phlegm so i will wait till not so much phlegm then let him try the straw.
btw, can drink yakult ah... the less sugar version?? Brennan quite slow in things compared to many babies here lor. thats why i do it slowly with him. like u say, if he wants, he will learn very fast.

Yupz, I'll warm e goat milk jus lyk EBM den give Janelle. I agree w Fun & Morraine that it's easier for them to learn if it's something they like. I tried for almost 2 mths to teach Janelle how to drink her plain water using straw but it was fruitless. Den I happen to let her try drinking the apple juice from Macdonald & guess wat, she learnt how to use e straw within an hr
<font color="0000ff">Morraine</font>,
Janelle rejected it at 1st but I force her to drink lor, now she's ok w e taste... </font>

SSL.. I think every kid is different. I trained Tammi to drink from cup because she wanted to copy us (what we drink, how we drink..etC) also , i think when going out it's just easier, cos' i just give her water in a cup n she'll drink. Another consideration is if u wnat to put them in childcare they dont have bottled drinks and teachers will give all the kids water or juice in a cup. So you need to train.. but if you are not considering childcare so soon, you have time. Brennan shld pick it up.. dont worry! There are kids at 3 still drinking milk from a bottle!

Sherisse had been drinking plain water from cup.. she will only drink plain water from cup from bottle she will reject.. tried to train her to drink from straw too but failure.. keke.. but now she drink from cup so ok loh.. maybe I should try giving her vitagen or yakult to train her to drink from straw.. keke
SSL
Like wat most of us said.. its really very individual so u dun have to worry on the kid's growth n etc..
As for yakult, ash has been drinking it since dunno how many mos but i limit to a few sips onli not the whole bottle to herself, usually i wil drink most of it den leave like 1/4 of it for her to suck and in regards to less sugar version, im not so sure.. tonite go bac i check den let u noe
Drinking with straw got nothing to do with phelgm wor.. if u are letting him drink plain water..

i will try to let Brennan have the straw test. heehee just hope he wont chew on them.
pammie,
Brennan is already in infantcare now since Dec last year. The teacher tried to train him using spout but he refuse to drink the water. so they ask me to bring back the bottle and they will spoon feed him. So i thought it would be better to start training him before he goes to childcare side end March (provided he is more steady on his walking).

I need 6 kind souls to help me test out a new brand of diaper pants. Will mail 2 pieces (size XL) to each participants to test and try.
But I would need require the help of the testers to fill up a simple feedback form about the performance of the diaper pants.
Only have enough samples for 6 participants. Please PM me if you are keen. Thanks.

dont worry. sabie will walk soon. try to let her explore herself. sometimes it depends on the BB. like we used to keep asking brennan to walk, hold him to practice walking. he doesnt want. but lately he has been walking alot in childcare and at home and now he is quite steady in his walking
