wenyl,
my gal also shows a lot of interest in the food we eat but i really hesitate in introducing solid till she's at least 6 mths. That's 2 more mths to go.
let me know your comments on the bellamy's organic cereal okay? Cos we are thinking of going to Oz in jul/aug. Can buy then if it's good. : )

Re. HT (Healthy Times) /Earth's Best organic cereals
Read somewhere in the frum that there is a shop in Tanglin Mall selling them. Can check it out. Didn't want to try Gerber or Nestle cos it's sweetened, even though I think the amount of sugar is minimal...
I think if buy from direct from US, it won't be cheap...
can check out their websites for more details:

Re: where to buy healthy Times and Earth best cereal.
For Healthy times = HT, some mummy already bought from NTUC, so should be able to get from there. Bishan NTUC sell HT, maybe other big NTUC outlet will have also.
As for Earth's Best cereal, I read from other thread that Brown Rice Paradise, Organic Paradise and superNature may sell. As mentioned, it's always out of stock, but I heard can call them to reserve stock and once stock come they will give you a call.
I think they are located at Tanglin Mall, Forum Galaria and Paradiz centre.

Hi Mummies
So long never come in and so much to catch up on!!! I've been busy busy busy with helping my friends for their upcoming wedding this Sat.
Weight of BB at 4 months
Daren weighed 7.3Kg and grew to 65cm long. He got really cranky after his jab (the days after) and drove me really crazy!!! HIs feeding and sleeping pattern changed slightly.
Flipping
Now Daren flips at least once a day when placed on his back. He generally doesn't like to be placed on his back and will just start his cry.
Wendyheng
Fisher-toys online the pricing should be in USD since it's a US product. You might want to email them and find out?
Feeding BB semi-solids
I bought the Heinz Baby's First Rice Cereal for Daren to try. Started on Monday. My mom helped feed him the 1st time and he finished the rice cereal. However past 2 days he wasn't very receptive to the rice cereal (even though it's quite liquid form like milk). Think the time of the day quite important.

RE: cereals
Can any mommy tell me what "si Sen" is? is it a chinese herb?
So far from the forum threads it seems that :
-Earth's best is cheaper but when mixed the consistency is more watery than healthy times
- brown rice more heaty than normal rice, so some parents prefer starting with plain rice cereal first esp. if less than 6 months old. After 6 months, anyone is ok
- nestle, frisocreme have sucrose so considered sweetened
-heinz got no added sucrose but is not organic ie it is processed
- HT and EB are organic with no added sucrose
-frisocreme has added milk already so only need to add water to mix
- Can buy EB from supernature in Park House
- Can buy HT (only brown rice and some of the teething cookies eg arrowroot cookies) at the bigger NTUCs eg the one at Killeney road, Brown rice paradise (tanglin mall), organic paradise (forum galaria)
- another popular brand with local mommies is the brown rice with si sen and ikan bilis which can be bought from NTUC also. More of a 'local' flavour.
Hope this helps

Hi Yuen Yuen and mummies,
Was informed by my friend that WHO recommend solids for babies six montsh and above. MAybe that's why the 4 month packaging cereal was taken off the shelf?
Hi sandra,
My hubby is more patient than me. Sometimes Megan fuss about and after i tried for sometime and hubby sees that i can frustrated, he take over. But then again, that's because i spend more time with baby sonaturally more tiring. Tiring = bad tempered... ;p
i read books on disciplining - can start from 18 months onwards when they understand things better.
I once lost my temper when my elder gal was 8 months old, refusing to sleep at night, waking every other hour... i pat her so hard as if i am spanking her. When hubby took over - he realised my gal was having high fever! Imagine my guilt! Learn my lesson from then on! Always to check for discomfort when baby is extremely fussy. Hubby understand this principle better than me.......

ok la, i was a bit kua zhang. My milk letdown is very slow. Takes a lot of prep, do a lot of things before i can see some milk.
Queen
I got a super thin mattress from John Little sale. It's the size of a normal size mattress but it's so compact, it can be folded and packed in a bag. And it's using high density foam. I think it's as good lor, just the washing part not as easy as BP. BP just need to wipe can liao. It's very cheap. I think i got it for about $25.

thanks for the info...
I wanna ask a stupid qns hor..
From the picture of HT and EB cereal.. seems like it's in powder form?
So I need to add FM and water to it to make it into puree state?
usually how much water to add and what temp.. is it similar to the temp we use to make milk? warm warm or use room temp water to mix?
or need to cook over stove?

hi clayre
the bib i got is quite thin, i don't think its hot for the baby. I got it from SSW. But now my girl is older she's more curious and always try to pull it aside to look around..
Re: HT cooking instruction according to the box
It comes in powdered form. Just put desired amt of cereal in bowl. for first feed use 1 tablespoon. Full serving is 5 tbsp. Mix with BM, FM, infant juice or water to desired consistency and feed baby. Can feed baby 1x -2x per day.
No need to cook over stove, but can use microwave to warm the BM/FM/water with cereal together... but must test temp. b4 feeding baby. Personally I wouldn't use microwave

cookie,
I am an Isetan cardholder. i feel that previous sales are good but nowadays the sales items are not so gd liao. I went yesterday to the pte sale. Didn't see the lollipop stroller. Actually i wanted to buy swim diapers for my gal cos read from the other thread that it's 50% off but i couldn't find it. End up buying a country road shirt for my hubby. It's reallly worth it - usual price is $159 and the sale price yesterday was $59!!
If you are interested in isetan sale, I can let you know the next time. If you send me a self-addressed envelop, I can send you the admission coupon then you can go liao. : )

you been member for so long yet have not buy anything!? haha should try their products. Good!
re: bumper playmat
agree that it is abit ex for a mat to cost you 100 over bucks and even 200 plus for a bigger size mat. but for my opinion, in the long run its worth it.
as compare to mattress, bumper playmat will be easier to clean and no need to worry about strain by poopoo, urine, food, silava etc. portable in terms can bring anywhere. no worry bb will bang their head on the floor or floor (especially timber flooring) kena scratch when bb start to throw toys or toys kena split up when hit the floor. since the cushioning will be preventing all these, its worth it.
i have been placing dylan on the bumper playmat since i got it. he enjoy to be on it coz me and my hb oso can lay beside him on the big mat.

wenyl,
can get swimsuits for baby from Mothercare too
rachel,
thanks for info on bumpermat!
yes i use Amway products. Think they're not bad. Just that the products last very long so i didn't hv chance to buy/restock for 1 year already! heh.
cookie,
i'm not sure whether is the bath thingy suitable for babies, just that when i read the description it keeps talking about for children, so i just assume. Here's the description of the Sudzy Bath Gel:
To meet the need for a bathing product for children that is gentle and yet effective, new Sudzy Bath Gel has been formulated to be ultra mild and still provide thorough cleansing and natural skin conditioning for children. Kids will simply love its fruity scent while you are assured that its blend of ultra mild cleansing agents will gently remove dirt and impurities from delicate skin, leaving it clean and conditioned.
Why is Sudzy Bath Gel recommended for children? What makes it so different? Contains pure Aloe Vera gel: Aloe Vera has been used for centuries due to its healing powers, soothing gentleness and anti-inflammatory qualities. Instead of synthetic moisturisers, ultra mild Sudzy Bathing Gel pampers delicate skin with the soothing, antibacterial and highly moisturising properties of pure Aloe Vera gel. Unlike many products that merely feature Aloe Vera extracts from the tip of the leaf, Sudzy Bathing Gel features pure Aloe Vera Gel from the entire leaf which is more potent than gel extracted merely from the tip of leaves.
Soap free and pH balanced: soap-based products are generally alkali in nature and this high pH level can cause an uncomfortable tightness of skin. In children, this excessively high pH may result in scratching and subsequently, irritation.
No more worries! Sudzy Bath Gel is soap-free! Its blend of mild cleansing agents gently cleanse delicate skin without creating dryness, tightness or irritation. Many bath soaps or soap-based products may have a pH of 9 or more. This could lead to dryness and tightness of skin, especially for children or people with sensitive skin. Sudzy Bath Gel has a pH ranging from 5 to 7, to complement the natural pH level of our skin.
Additionally, Sudzy Bathing Gel is also recommended as a daily bath gel for individuals with sensitive skin or various skin disorders. The ultra mild formulation cleanses gently without irritating sensitive skin while the Aloe Vera Gel calms and soothes irritated skin.
