mel_lim,
I was thinking of using sieve (smallest hole) for those veg and fruits puree.. I will need a blender later on too, for meat puree. someone recommended Braun, so, not sure which is gd.
 


Tiffany

Yap. There's lots of bubbles.. My mom said tat's the cause of colics and since when Xuanting's milk was mixed with brown rice cereals.. less bubbles can go into it.. so quite okay. =p

Mommies...
Happened to saw tix website tat's having some sales. =p

Hi everyone. I'm new here. i have a 5mth plus baby girl also. Hope that I can make more friends here.
A little about myself. I'm working currently and my mother in law is helping me to take care of my little princess.
 
miu, sorry about that, will capture the error.



mel_lim, *eyes big big* is all those consumed in a day? quite a lot .... and you very hardworking leh....give so many different types of food...

I only give my gal about 2 tbsp for lunch and dinner. If give solely apple / pear puree, these not so filling foods, I will give more about 1 tbsp more.

Dinner varies between 5.30 - 7.30pm. But I tend to reduce the qty if it's given later (esp for carbo foods like potato, brown rice cereal) as the digestive system slows down at night.

I find that my gal's appetite for solids is very good, part of me want to increase her qty cos see her so happy to eat *greedy pig* but another part of me is hesistant cos still want her to drink more milk.

Good to hera that his stools' are normal again, but do feed some water. I will feed her water intermediate with her semi-colids and after to wash her food down and clean their mouth. hahaha

Tiffany, don't call me by that name lah....also not advise...just sharing and discussing ok....
Get a blender. It's really useful and must have to blend vege that got many fibres or corns/peas that has skin....you know what I mean? Many pple find the Braun hand held one quite good. I ever posted the photo of the 'no-brand' blender that I use. Think branded or no brand makes no difference. Timing is important to get that texture. Puree a few seconds for a more chunky texture or longer to get the smoother. Even though potato, banana, papaya these don't need blend, just mash with fork / press through sieve...blending gets a more refined texture but must add more fluid to the blending cos blending tends to get more sticky.

When they are about 7 months old, can start to give coarser puree or mashing. Supposed to help the mechanics of gums and chewing, and prevent picky toddler who balks at anything bulkier than mush.
 
Tiffany,

ya that was told by my cl before. that's why i'm still hesitating giving isaac Similac. although it suppose to be better quality.

But having to say that, Friso also have bubbles lei. hmm is it the way i shake bottle hahaha.

Tiffany & Mel, maybe you gals give yr bb a little papaya and banana. So far i feed Isaac with that no green poo poo. and he can poo poo almost daily and he is being fed with brown rice too.

Also, try to give bb plain water after each fed. it may help further from there.

Constance, welcome welcome!!
kao_welcome2.gif
 
chenoa, ask you har.. after you intro solids did u realise yr bb have any drop in drinking milk?

last time before i intro isaac solids / porridge. he can drink milk about 5 times during the day time. but now it drops to only 3 times or sometimes 2 times only and each time is only 3 oz (90ml).
 
Kolarie, I'm left w one admission ticket to Isetan sales. Convenient for you to collect from me? I stay at AMK and later going down Junction 8 and tomolo Taka lunch appointment. Or u wanna meet me there on Thursday?

Constance, welcome,

Mom_yam, so far Brendon only likes the English and the Animals ones. I gonna use it w the books soon as he's able to sit up liao. But for Baby Einstein, he's very happy whenever he hears the prelude. It never fails to put a smile on his face and the Baby Santa will put him to sleep within 20mins, dun know consider good or not...

mom_yam, kekeke...not sure leh....my gal is a 'pampered' drinker. She will drink very freq. but dunno what's the consumption like since I direct latch. Sometimes a few mouths, sometimes more...but also dunno if the longer time is becaue she's more hungry, thirsty or because she cannot get enough milk out. hahahaha
You got mail.
happy.gif
 
Chenoa, now I'm starting to envy you. Soon I'm joining the workforce back.
kao_sticktongue.gif


I make babyfood fresh and feed directly but when I start working, doubt I will be able to do it. Has taught my maid to do it. Hopefully she will do it thoroughly and not in a slipshod manner.
kao_sad.gif
 
Chenoa,
Thanks again for sharing. In fact, i have the orange color (so called no brand) blender. maybe do with tat 1st.
ask u hor.. when u give veg/fruit puree, do u still give milk? Understand tat Milk is still the most nutritious source even if we intro solid.

Mom_yam
I noticed tat Lucas is drinking lesser and lesser milk too. He show no interest in milk alrdy..taking abt 50-100ml each time only, however he will finish up his cereal+BM.

Re: Similac
I have tried Friso and Enfa A+ previously, they are not as bubbly as similac. Its not due to shaking the bottle, the bubbles comeabt when baby suckle the teats, and the bubbles start forming in the bottle. Are u introducing stage 2 FM alrdy? I am considering Similac or Enfa... few frens go for similac... their babies all buay buay one...
 
Babies w constipation? Yup, I realised Brendon also had constipation when I started him on solids. Now I give fruit in between feeds. He also have quite a fair bit of inflatulence.
sad.gif


Anybody has any take on offering Manuka Honey to babies? I know there's such thing called 'botulism' but understand from some people that those w UMF can aid constipation and safe for babies. I'm still skeptical to give him although one mummy said it helped her 10mth old w her constipation problems.
 
su, i put her in the sling when we go out and she sleeps fine. but no sling at home cos it's too hot. tried feeding on bed too but doesn't always work. sometimes she'll sleep after that. sometimes when i take boob out, she'll wake up and start crying

miu66, i tried the towel too, she "no hew". tried sleeping next to her or between me n hb, also dun like

cheona, does yr gal get grouchy when no sleep? mine cannot dun sleep cos she gets so grouchy

1sttimemum, i'll call u

anyone puts baby in sarong? or slept in sarong when baby time? i was told to try that but i hesitate cos it's bad for her spine and i'm not sure if next time she will sleep on normal bed when bigger if used to sarong
 
Yup...botulism as I have mentioned earlier. I read abt it. That's why never give to my first one back then. But heard abt UMF nowadays and that it is given to babies 6 months and above so wanna check if any of you have any knowledge.

Guess, I will scrap the idea till Brendon's older. Thanks

sggal,
Babies do get grouchy or cry a lot when they are overtired. My daughter is no different lah....she's no angel hor....
happy.gif


Pre-empt this by putting her down in her usual sleeping place and position and make her sleep. I know it's very tough on you but you just have to persevere and find a way that's most comfortable for your gal to get to sleep. Most of us have gone through such stages before and begun to understand our babies better after trial and error.

Through my experiences, my gal does not sleep well or nurse in unfamilar places. If my gal is exhausted after a whole afternoon at my mom's or grandma's place, she will cry non-stop and very loud. No one, not even me can comfort her. So, I'll say,"okok we go home". After we step out of the house, she will quiet down and once in the car, will fall asleep.

At home, she will not cry if she's tired. Just suck fingers lah and make noises loh. I never pat her to sleep one. I always leave her alone in her cot or on my bed. However, one thing is the place must be cooling. She will sleep better on my bed as the fan can blow directly at her. A bit warm at her cot cos further away from the fan. If she's feeling warm / perspiring, she can't fall asleep.
 
Tiffany,
you mean milk before or after the semi-solids issit? Supposed to top up the semi-solids with milk to constitute 1 meal. But what I do is I'll nurse first, about 1/2-1hr later (using the time to prepare her puree or cereal) feed semi-solids, then 1hr later nurse again - she will latch on if she wants, otherwise wait till later and try again.
 
Went liao low...

but the things I wan are OOS liao...sob...sob...

Amy,

Re:Honey
Honey is not recommended to be given to bb not more than 1 year old. In fact, the same applies to egg.

Take note lo.
 
Evon,
Egg Yolk can.....from 7 months, must be hard boiled (thoroughly cooked. Ehgg white after 1 year.

Amy,
wah...so fast? don't tell me you chiong the minute the door open? Not online spree leh....no need to excited ba? hahaha
 
Koalarie, Robinsons sales so so lei. Taka and Isetan better. U pm me your no. WIll let you know.
happy.gif


Chenoa, most likely will be there early but not like Mr Bean...camping overnight.
kao_laugh.gif
That's how I managed to help my friends get their Combi shoes at $9.90 instead of $69.90.
 
cheona - no lah..kekeke....i only give 1 type per day. The list is to show all the types of food i have given him so far....kekeke.
 
Evon,
>Even playing games like covering your face and then open up, she will laugh as if she really enjoys a lot. Even making funny faces, she also laughs.

My gal is more jovial in the evening, she also like what you say loh. But even no funny face, she also laugh. Dunno what's so funni? She can look at me eat and when I turn to look at her, she will shriek. When I ask her "ʲôܺЦô" she will giggle. Babies so adorable when they smile, giggle and laugh.

Yesterday, I go Junction 8 to buy mooncakes, aiyo....I was tasting at a booth when two aunties tending another booth came over and take turns to pinch my gals' cheeks *left right left right and both together* my gal eyes big big just look at them.....must be wondering"who these two women? why pinch me?" I nearly wanted to say,"can you stop touching her?" but out of politeness just smile at them. But in my heart, very unhappy with them. Why can't these pple keep their hands to themselves?

Duno issit pple see the two aunties touch her, when they move away, a little gal (about 4 yrs old) came over and asked my permission to touch her. I say "ok, you may touch her hand." So she lightly touch YY's right hand once and happily run over to her mother who's standing at a distance, watching and smiling.

Asked my hubby "When did my daughter become a "TOUCH & FEEL" exhibit?"
 
Amy, you drive ah? and you bring your kids with you or leave them with your maid? I cannot go Isetan sale with you lor. cos my gal sleep until 10 plus one.....you need to be early to grab!
You know what's on sale on Thurs?
 
Ah yo.

Taking abt that... my mom brought Xuanting down to market n the pork seller's wife simply took her from my mom n carried n played with her le. My mom was a bit shocked but okay la.. she normally bought pork frm them.

My gal very cheerful in the daytime. If the morning she wakes up n smiles, it will mean that she will be cheerful the entire day. If she dun smile when she wakes up, then she will be fussy baby.
 
Amy
thanks. IF i go Isetan, probably got to go during lunch hours or weekends when i bring little one out together as well. But hb & I dun really like to go crowded places over the weekends. Robinsons at Raffles City very near to Raffles Place where I m working n so can pop by anytime. =p

Cheona
Thanks for the info on the egg. =p

2morrow.. 2moorrow i will upload a cute foto of the little gal taken recently. =p

Egg,
Yesterday I brought Keith for his 6th mth jab and the mee see told me that should start with egg yolk at 9mths and egg white at 1yr. If they are allergy to egg, the MMR jab cannot be given, must go KKH for the injection.

Chenoa, BP for what items? Can know more details?

Mom_yam, I bought the slightly bigger than B4 file boxes and the transparent acrylic drawers last week and when I went yesterday, they are OOS. Bang head against wall liao. Should buy more.
sad.gif
Now my accessories not enough storage space...hiaz...
sad.gif


Chenoa, your gal like my son, sleep until noon time. I will have to sling him and let him sleep inside on Thursday lor. Anybody aiming the Barbie trough trike? It's a bargain but not for my boy. Too girl-girl liao.

Most prob getting the Avent wet wipes lor.

Anyway, today Brendon sat on the spittoon to do his 'big business' and WOW!!! so much came out. Ended up, we brought him to the toilet and 'cold-wash' his buttocks. Too gluey liao...
biggrin.gif
 
So far okay lei...he sleeps well in a sling and also in noisy places. Must be because he's used to his mummy who suffers from verbal diarrhoea...
kao_sticktongue.gif


Chenoa, the new clothes nice? I may get my sis to look out for them. She just passed me another $100 gymbbucks.
sad.gif


Anybody interested in buying gymbucks or gymboree stuff? I leilong leilong here.
sad.gif


oops...hope not considered commercial posting...kekeke...
kao_sticktongue.gif


If no takers, I will end up stocking for Brendon till he's 5!!!
crazy.gif
 
Amy,
checked designs. I like but must wait for price to drop. The old designs, those I like no more size liao.....maybe have to cough up something just to utilise the Gymbucks. Your sis's gymbucks also valid till oct nia huh? :p
You gonna have a big headache again when items go OOS during redeem, esp. with your "if no more, then..." hahaha wish you luk hor.
 
yup...and I tell you hor...now I have 6 pieces of the Tiki Woven Shirts!!! The sizes, you name it, I may have it!!! Lol...
crazy.gif


Actually hor, over there, some weekends, the store has discounts for their regular items. Like having Sales during Columbus Day and President's Days...too bad got to pay taxes lor...
sad.gif


Yup...at least hers is on the receipt and she emailed me the code liao. But I worry for the Spree 7. The code is on the packing slip so I got to get hold of the carton but the way for current situation for Gymboree shipping leaves much to be desired... keeping my fingers crossed that they will come by 3 Octbefore I got to go 'make noise' again.
sad.gif
 


Ohhhh Amy your OOS = out of stock. Hahahaha dunno why i have this impression it means $$$ to be refund. hahaha!

Ya ya, i agree u kw i bought only 1 messy sheet coz' no more stock alr. and the only color left which is pink.

chenoa, i'm sure the BP for T10 will be lousy respond lor.
