(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB


Thanks for sharing your information. Much appreciated. Will check out Marketplace and Vitakids when I'm back. Babies don't consume that much at this age so I think it's still not too bad, spending the extra. I cook and freeze so even with the added organic cost, it doesn't cost too much. Compared to feeding him bottled food.

Kloe,
I checked my Heinz cereal box. Doesn't say traces of wheat anywhere and it says gluten-free. Perhaps UK Heinz's different from Spore Heinz? For me I think traces of wheat is fine cos we don't have a family history of Coeliac Disease or an intolerance or allergy to wheat.

For some strange reason I have an affinity to Heinz. ;-) Maybe it's to do with how I grew up on Heinz products and still prefer them to other brands. I like their branding also. ;-p
 
Kin,
Will give Bellamy a try also. Checked out their homepage and it looks quite good. Anything found at NTUC will definitely be more convenient for me as that's the only store within walking-distance for me. Thanks.
 
Hi Kin,
Thx for offering. I wanna go Daiso have a look at their food cubes first. I let u know again, okay? Btw, how's the freezer cubes? Is it gd? How do u defrost the food?

Hi Mich,
How r u? Long time nvr hear from u liao!
 
Hello mummies... Am bringing Germayn for her jab tomorrow. Not sure if it's ok, cos she just recovered...
And ya, she fell down the bed again ytd! Sigh! Put her sis's bolster at her side, but she pushed it down, and went down together with the bolster. Think im quite dumb also la. It's not like the bolster is very heavy. Hai. Really scared she'll have some head injury.

Hello Mich, how are things now?

Hello Kin, does your elder gal have bronchitis often? How old is she? My elder gal keeps having bronchitis. And I dunno..think it's prob cos of me also? Cos i used to have childhood asthma. So sad.

Zoe, i like Heinz also, compared to Gerber and Nestle.

Lucida, Germayn doesnt wanna be spoonfed at all. When we feed her using a spoon, she'll 'buuuu' everything out and cry. I tried apple, rice cereal, brown rice cereal. my MIL tried porridge with pumpkin. All failed. haha. So only feeding her with brown rice cereal via bottle. But i stopped this for a few days cos she wasn't feeling well.

Lucida/misaryeo/lala
Sometimes i also feel like stopping bfg. cos i feel like..abit no life.. Can never lunch with colleagues cos gotta go pumping during lunch time. Then must try to eat healthy food so that milk will be better for baby. Then during the weekends i gotta rely on help to take care of my twins while im pumping. Then sometimes they'll be knocking the door and crying wanting to come into the room, then when i let them in they'll wanna play with the pump, then feel so stressed.
but well, i'll just continue to try, at least wanna do it till she's 8.5 months old. If not like..abit dui bu qi her, cos for the twins i stopped when they were 8.5mths old.

PM, how's the porridge?
 
Hi Mummies
I was wondering can we feed our babies 2 meals of solid food now eg 1 meal of porridge and 1 meal of cereal. My mum has started to feed my son fish porridge once everyday and he loves it. But the ironic thing is once he started on porridge which is suppose to be more filling, he drinks more milk now. Last nite, he had milk at 11pm, 2am and 5am. Wah my hubby and I were so tired. try not to feed him but he kept crying and refused to sleep. then after feeding him, he continued to sleep. why like tat? how?
 
hi Mummies...
I got so angry with my husband again. I got flu & nt feeling well. My BB also catch it from me. I have to rush home after work to look after BB and no dinner till he came back. I waited for him to come home at about latest 2030. But he never come home nor call back until i call him at about 2045. Guess what he say he got to go to his friend house help fix computer. I got so angry when i heard that, Wife & BB nt feeling well plus FIL & wife both waiting for him to pack food home.. never even bother to call home early to inform.
I really regret never insist on abortion. For him i go through so much physical & mental torture just because he says he wants the BB.
Worst, he kept telling ppl how "Wei DA" he is. Then make me such an evil women or useless mother. One day i will like that women who Die due to overwork. Study , work & take care of BB.
Now i understand what is "empty Vessel makes the most noise"
 
Hi Yenny,

Did you replace the solids intake with milk? Maybe your bb not getting enuff milk? Just a thot.

Looks like most mummies have given their bb solids. My ger not taking the cereal very well plus her recent case of rashes breakout which PD says its mild eczema. So I'm stopping solids for a while for now ..sigh.
 
Hi Z-lia,
yes, know what you mean by being fair. When I have my 2nd baby, I will also bf for at least the same time as my girl now.
You have been talking about your "long fong tai" (twins), can post their pics here?? Longing to see them
happy.gif

Did Germayn have a bump on her head after falling down? Is she okie ??
 
zlia
ian also fell twice from bed....heartpain...and worried abt head injuries..but after monitoring few days...no lump..no vomit...shld be ok bah...
 
Lala,
my boy also fell from bed recently, my mother got so scare until she cry. lol But he is ok just a bump on his forehead , after applying the "green cream" the bump gone.
 
Hi May
No leh. after eating porridge he still drinks milk every 3 hours. B4 eating porridge, he can tahan abt 5,6 hrs without milk at nite. But now, he wakes up at 3hrs interval at nite to drink milk.

btw, how much milk r ur babies drinking now with solid food? I gave 180ml but hor everytime i pull out the teat after he finished, he will scream for more. shld i give more?
 
Hi Yenny,

Could it be the growth spurt? I remember my PD mention that the next phase of bb growth spurt is at 6 months.

I have not introduced solids. My ger drinks very little 150 ml every three hours. BUt she is still relatively heavy - 7.8 kg at 6 mths.

Btw..anyone here goes to Northern Hope medical at Punggol plaza to see the PD there? I send my ger to see the PD and think he's not bad. But anyone have any experience to share?
 
i think the first one is sometime during the third week of baby's birth. It did happen to my ger when her demand for milk suddently increase and a tremendous weight gain. But again, it does not necessarily happen to all babies.
 
hi yenny,
wat is d total milk intake daily for ur boy now? think can try increasing d milk amt for ur boy liao, quite likely he not drinking enuf cos at this stage milk still d main meal, at least 500-600ml daily. maybe can try give him 210ml?

hi sandy,

OC,
my boy taking 2 time cereal/porridge. Still drinking 240 ml of milk every 4 hour after his porridge.
My husband older than me 6 year leh.. should be mature enough liao.. I tired of reminding him please ans his handphone , make effort to come home early. hiaz.. why we women always suffer.

Hi brambles,

See below, i extracted from the website :

Can I track my baby's growth at home?
Yes, you can, but it won't be as accurate as when the doctor or nurse does it. If you want to give it a try:
Weigh your baby. If you don't have a baby scale, then any accurate scale will do. Simply hold your baby and get on the scale. Write down that number. Then put your baby down and get on the scale alone. Subtract that number from your combined weight to get your baby's approximate weight.

Next, measure your baby's length. Lay him down and stretch a measuring tape from the top of his head to the bottom of his heel. It's easiest if you have someone to help, because you'll need to gently stretch your baby's leg straight to do this. Again, your number won't be exactly the same as the doctor's, but you'll get a ballpark figure.

To measure your baby's head circumference, wrap a flexible measuring tape around his head just above his eyebrows and ears, and around the back where his head slopes up from his neck. The goal is to measure his head at the spot where it has the largest circumference.

Once you have these measurements, plug them into our growth percentile calculator to find out roughly how your baby compares to his peers.

Hubbies -->

My hubby is a young daddy so "nagging" dun work for him, will remind him of his mother. But praising n flattering him goes a long way. Hurhur.. hope he doesn't come in n see this forum then he knows my "trick" already.

When Kristen juz born, at the hospital he was the one who carried her n comforted her n he succeeded! So.. sing loud praises about.. how natural he is at it.. so good, so expert at handling. And so, he dun mind continuing to do it.

Then, now, sometimes tell him i read from here n there, n pple say this-that about the daddys.. then sing praises again about how wonderful he is n how grateful i am about the way he is.

Every other day, remind him how much I luv him n how appreciative I am for his effort n help. N how I cannot handle it without him.

Hurhurhur.. stoop very low.. but I do mean it that I very grateful that he is helping out. Works!!!
 
Hi Mrs T,
I didn't cook the apples. I just peel, cut & blend the apple into puree then serve. But must do fast cos apples oxidise very fast. My gal likes it very much. Mayb cos it's sweet.
 
YB,
can add 1 drop of lemon or lime so the apple wun turn brown.

What happen? aiyo must sleep in diff room.

Sandy,
aiyo dun say that. U never regret bringing him to this world right. Hubby is like that.. somemore he is a 1st time daddy. There is alot of adjustment need to be made, especially mentally.

My hubby who is a 2nd time daddy can make the same mistake too.

Cool down.
 

lala
