Fi,
she bought this small grinder.. no brand one but it is quite good. occassionally u see them selling the grinder outside markets or supermarkets.
I think u can also use those kitchen food blender if it is meant to grind food. Just put inside and grind til powdery.
To cook, we use those small earth pot, add water , few teaspoons of powder (depends how much u want to cook) and cook at low heat, stir until the powder dissolves. The amt of water to add depends on how wet u want the rice to be. after cooking, u can add EBM and stir. My son took brown rice for abt a year and he is v strong and fit so i would really recommend brown rice to new mummies.

Serene, i use the abv method to cook my brown rice but i am not so sure whether the same method can be used if u get ready made ones. i suppose there will be instructions on the pack.
Fi, wow so expensive vs those nestle or heinz brand cereals! but it's organic so probably that explains the price.
To add on to the cooking method, u have to let the brown rice cool down a bit before adding EBM cos if too hot, will destroy nutrients in EBM.

Serene,
i dont think i am going back for the 6 mth post natal visit. nothing special to consult him leh. haha! u want to take slimming pills? last resort i suppose. but i heard fr my hub that it is so popular these days even with ladies who are not v fat. i heard that most ladies can lose 2-4 kg in a mth but i suppose u cannot take that long term. It's still back to diet and exercise once u have lost the wt.

hi tinkle & fi,
i checked w the eu yang seng sales.. they said bb can take that fm 3mths old onwards. What i did was.. boil 2teaspoons of the brown rice with si shen powder with equiv amt of water(same amt tat i use for making milk) and then add in scoops of fomula.
si shen powder is gd for digestive system and improve appetite.

tinklebell,
I will try to maintain the good habit of exercise and watch my diet too but becos i put on too much already so perhaps the pills can speed up the process of losing the weight before it's too late, i may get stucked with these extra kgs! Gosh! Can't imagine! Really scared!

tinklebell,
u don't need to specially go to Brown Rice Paradise to buy it. Selected NTUC also carries it (at least Junction 8) has it @ $6.80.
General question:
Is there a difference between brown rice cereal (which is what HT is selling) and the brown rice powder that u mummies are talking abt? I get the impression that cereal is totally separate from the brown rice powder based on your discussion..

Re cereal - how do we prepare cereal for bb? i got one box each HT Brown Rice and Oat meal (wheat free) for bb Jake. Will start when he is 6 months. Nowadays, he always playing with his milk... even BFg... just this morning, he bit me... cos he playing again, pull in pull out...so sad...
hi amy,
sama sama.. my boy also play with the bottle teat now.. pull in & out and bite as well.. probably they are teething soon and gums are 'itchy'.. heehee.. so i hv difficulty feeding him too.
hi serene,
i'm not sure abt those brown rice powder at medical hall but i definitely trust those sold at eu yang seng.. at least they are reputatable.
so i bought fm them & bb has bn taking once a day since he was 3mth+. so far so gd.

Lok,
you'r back fr your holiday!!! enjoyed yourself?
If i am not wrong, cereal already contains milk cos u dont really have to add milk to it ... just add hot water and stir. Some pp h/e do mix it with milk.
Lok/ Serene, thanks for the info... will check them out

serene,
my mil expects to feed bb on cereal very much later... but the package indicate that we can start when bb turns 4th mth
probably starts when she is 4 & half mth.
re: walker,
if i place my ger in her walker doubt her feet can touch the floor.. still find it too early. my mum said bb too early on walker but mil thinks otherwise. haiz...

celesteblur,
Yes 1oz about 30ml. To be exact, about 28.xx ml. So your gal drinking almost the same amt as my son.
okipoki,
In the market, not many brands had cereal that is for 4 mths, except only Frisocream and Heinz had it. The rests are all from 6th mth onwards. I think I will try giving my son Heinz cereal when he's 5 mths old.
re: walker
Some walker can adjust 2 heights. Hmm, is yr gal tall? Now u mention about it, i will ask my hub to bring out the walker tonite to let my boy try see if his legs can touch the floor though he's quite tall. My mum thinks my boy has been lying down too much, so abit lazy, till now still can't flip. She think i should let him sit walker so that to train his strength to speed up his process of flipping, crawling etc. To me, is ok if my son crawls or flip abit later than other babies, but my concern is more of entertaining my son...so that he won't be so lazy, always lie down.. haa!

re: walker - i have a walker at home, but din really use it. heard using a walker will impair bb's rate of learning to walk. dunno le...
anyway, bb jake started on his jumperoo - his feet can touch the ground in his jumperoo. and he is starting to have fun jumping... i think he prefers his jumperoo more than his exesaucer.

not sure is my ger consider tall, when she is week 14 she is abt 63cm. my ger cant flip too but she loves to be sitted upright. my mil's idea is to strengthen her leg but i think otherwise...

spicegal,
Yes, some of the mummies here had mentioned earlier that walker wasn't gd for baby's legs development but then again, in the older days, only walker is avail. There is no exesaucer or jumperoo then...but many of us are ok.
I only know that my son is very fortunate now, he has got both walker & exersaucer, pass down by my cousins and he has got 3 strollers (2 were pass down)....
You mix the brown rice watery and feed yr gal using bottle? You boil it with small flame also? Did you mix milk in it or just water?

Serene,
I put 1 teaspoon of grounded brown rice into same amount of water for milk and boil over flame for about 3-5 mins...must boil thoroughly cos the brown rice is raw one...then after that pour into milk bottle and add water if water has evaporated and milk powder...i normally give 1 less scoop of milk powder cos already substituted with brown rice powder...then cool the mixture till warm before feeding...
