lego mum,
I just cooked the oatmeal wif Pumpkin & minced meat. Kay loves it! In fact, I actually cooked more than wat the recipe stated. But Kay finished it. Haha. I guess our bbs are really sick of eating porridge everyday.

Btw, the recipe says we can replace pumpkin with tomatos to retain the sweetness.

 

[lego_mum]

Hi YB,

My girl has been eating that for lunch for a few days liao. But today I tried potatoes instead of pumpkin cos not good to give them yellow foods so often. She finished it up!

Hmmm... think will try tomatoes tmr.

 

[dsii]

yb..wah..so nice ah?
ooi email me the receipe leh....thks ah!!!!

 

[dsii]

hmm....yenny/hong
checked the moe website liao...elias park pri..the number registered is lesser than the vacancies available..so does it mean got place liao???

 

[xyliaong]

YB, Germayn has to come back cos my mum has to work tomorrow... sigh..

ep, Germayn is a yr old now. if i bring her to HK, i'll prob just bring a carrier, then use that all the way. hopefully will be ok.. must da bao those bottled food to bring there.. think will buy pull up pants to bring also...

 

[young_bride]

zlia,
Oh...

U can bring cereal to HK too? Less heavy than btl food.

Dsii,
I posted the recipe in the forum liao leh. U can check the archives? Very easy one. No need to use slow cooker some more.

 

[dsii]

aiyo..yb...i lazy to check archives then i ask u to email me mah..u know how lazy i am...pls....

 

[cherisw]

yb - what oatmeal did u use? wat brand n where to buy? would like to try that out for my ger as she's getting sian of porridge too...

 

[cherisw]

yb - my ger oso had a bad bout of rash on her hands n feet after her 1st pneumo jab...even bum oso hv bad nappy rash...i asked my pd oso but she says quite rare to hear of such reaction due to prevenar jab...still not sure if it is caused by the jab...wondering if it will happen again when she goes back for her 2nd jab soon.

 

[cherisw]

lego mum - my girl had constipation when i first mixed her Similac Follow on wif Gain...so i din dare substitute too much Gain...n tried to give her more water...only after abt 2 weeks then no more constipation...now she's on full Gain n her stools r ok...wondering if it's cos the body needs time to adapt to the new formula.

 

[lego_mum]

Hi Cheri,

I'm putting my girl back on Similac first cos scared she laosai again. When her stools are ok then I will try her on one feed full Gain and see. Hopefully she can adjust well to full Gain.

I'm using instant quaker oats for YB's recipe cos I dun have the regular oats at home. Actually no need to cook the instant oats but I still put in to cook with the other ingredients. Works fine for me.

 

[lucida]

Hello, long time didn't log in. Busy with work. Seems that the discussion now mainly on the formulae milk for one year old. I tried to switch formulae, YuJie was on NAN 2HA, but he broke out in rashes though I only put one scoop of Similac. Think he's still allergy to milk protein. Will bring him see PD this Satuday and see what PD say about this..

Btw, recently, my baby just wan my husband to carry!! VEry sad.. I wanted to carry him but he refused.. Than this morning my MIL came to fetch baby to her house so that we can go work, and I told MIL that baby wants only my husband. Than my MIL say to my baby - of course, mummy dun want to carry you mah. Than she start to say mummy naughty...

I was fumming!!! I felt like looking for for a infant care centre and put baby there. I dun want to give my baby the habit and having to need people to always carry him. IS that wrong! Is my baby pushing my limit to get me to carry him??? I'm telling myself I'm definitely not going to have a 2nd baby. Angry! and jealous also

 

[yenny_tay]

dsii
yeah, like that confirm issac will get a place.

lucida
babies and kids are like that. they prefer whoever plays wif them, carries them, brings them gai gai. no need to fume lah. but hor, i think it's not very nice of ur mil to critisize u in front of ur baby.

 

[orangecloud]

Z-lia,
Is Germayn exposed to adult food already? If it's me i would probably not lug all those heavy bottled food there n it might be troublesome to look for help in heating them up too.

Besides cereal, whenever u guys sit down to have ur meal, u can order congee for Germayn, fish/minced meat congee or watever dats available, even plain congee then u can order some dishes like tofu. But i know some babies are already eating rice, noodles n many other more adult food so i think it's actually much easier to bring them out for trips now.

Being typical cantonese, i just love their congee, tonic soups n desserts!! In fact, im gonna intro some tonic soup, sesame n walnut paste to Gillian...ooohhh i wanna go HK too!

 

[orangecloud]

[lucida]

Hi Yenny, I was playing with the tot of telling my MIL, but nicely lar, not to say such things infront of baby.. Don't know how she will react. She might think I too sensitive and takes comments seriously.. There's one time she telling baby don't bother with me or dun listen to me..

 

[ethel]

when i started josh on gain iq, he also had constipation. so i mix half gain iq with fresh milk.

z-lia

[dsii]

[young_bride]

Cheri,
I bought Quaker oatmeal from supermart. I think they have a few packaging. Blue col & red col. I bought the blue colour (original).

 

[paranoidmummy]

Lucida - Dont get angry, babies are babies, they will prefer those who give in their way, but when they want milk or sleep they will auto come and look for mummy. That happens to Emerson. For play time and other things its Daddy or Grandma. Milk & sleep is definitely Mummy.

Z-lia - U sure u want to bring carrier and not pram? Wont it be heavy to carry Germayn all the way? I suggest u bring umbrella stoller and the carrier (just in case she wants to be carried).. and yah, maybe bring cereal easier than jar food coz breaks easily and also got to heat it up. Cereal u just bring the milk powder dispenser and the thermal flask.... If u were u.. I wont bring al of them there! Just go and relaz myself.. Hahahahha...

Haiz.. I also want to go overseas!!
Gain IQ - Emerson also constipated despite giving him fruit juice and pear fruit.. but I'll just let him finish the whole tin and see how it goes.

 

[angi_wee]

lucida, i feel for u!!!
i hate my mil carry him & talk cock teach all e wrong stuff!
but i'm staying w/my mil (i got pbm w/my mil w/rgds to displining my bb)... gg insane soon w/mil's naggy kpo...
i kinda dread mil carry him, am trying to not let bb too close to mil either... i ord pre-empt, next time if i beat him, he'll definately run to grandma to sayang wtf...
if i go back to work, i'll put him in day care, hell no let my mil take care since she ord said she cant handle... wonder what would happen if bb taken care by her...
i'm not gg have have #2 too! haha...

 

[poohy_bear]

Hi all, try this..quite cute..

Upload a picture of your child, and have him/her be the star of this free movie clip. http://www.myabcadventure.com/index.htm

 

[misaryeo]

Z-lia, u know when i went to San Fransico for a holiday wif bb and friend, i brought 10 jars of gerber baby food + 1 big tin of formula + 1 small tin of baby cereal! its was damn heavy and i wrap the food jars wif newspaper and a few layers somemore... then i realise actually there's a ssupermkt nearby my hotel!!! but i am kiasu lah, better be safe if not bb got nothing to eat. Already feel bad that he does not get to eat porridge and got to eat "instant food" for meals.

also i brought stroller (not very light weight) and carrier too, kiasu right. but it helps, cos when i go tour, i need to go up and down the bus for stops to take pix, n with the carrier, dun need to open and keep the stroller. stroller is good when on shopping trips or when u need to do alot of walking.

so my advice is bring little bit then buy some from there, just in case. just bring a light weight stroller n carrier too.

 

[lollypop]

Misaryeo,
Which carrier are u using when travelling? What is the maximum weight that it can withstand? I need to get one just in case need to travel.

 

[freshies22]

Hi all....missing in action for a while!!

Just came back from HKG. Brought my son there to celebrate his one year old birthday!!! He enjoyed himself so much at disney...took pics with all the characters..he even pinch their nose, hug them and kiss them...not scared at all.

For the trip, I bought along my really light weight Aprica stroller (only 3.5kg)...cereal, FM and few jar food...

Now that he is already one, we feed him with congee, pasta, macaroni...so not that bag.

But one thing about HKG - unless you are planning to take taxi everywhere....the MTR station are quite unfriendly...lots of steps!!! My hubby said he is all trained and ready for his fitness.Haaa

 

[zzzzoe]

Tuesday or Wednesday Playgroup 430-7pm
Are you girls up for spending the afternoon at our place in Katong? Just chilling for a few hours. Private rooftop jacuzzi, 2 huge balconies (no sun), whole apt's empty so very safe for babes.

Each bb brings a toy to share, jacuzzi can fit 3 adults plus babes. No chemicals added so babes need only hose off, no need proper shower.
Apt's empty cos it's brand new. Let me know who's up for this. Ta.

 

[xyliaong]

thanks mummies, for your suggestions! =)

Misaryeo, think im a kiasu mum also la..haha. so i'll prob bring about 5 jar food just in case.. at least if she's hungry when we're in the coach from the airport to the hotel there will be food for her. but other than that, she'll prob be eating outside food.. feel abit bad though..not giving her homecooked food for a few days.

as for stroller, im really not sure if i should bring. was hoping hubby and i can take turns to carry her, but i have this strong feeling that i'll be alone most of the time, cos our friends have ALL, and i really mean ALL our time planned for us (ktv-ing, drinking), most of which i wouldnt be able to bring Germayn along, so it'll be just hb and friends having their fun. anyway, hb is still hoping that i neednt have to bring germayn. so now, the decision is tentative again.

 

[young_bride]
