hi erin,
re: food jar
the lunch box bag is only suitable for rice but not porridge & soup, i asked the sales person bcos find that the container cover very loose.
 


hi cheers,
Congrats to you too!

hi piyo,
how's megan? hope she's alright.

mummies,
denise simply refuse to drink water, what can i do? and didn't get good result when i tried to feed her porridge for the 1st time today. i put carrot and a bit of cai xin. she made faces and sulk, end up gave her usual rice cereal.
 
Super Dad,

Congrats. First time, three pushes only? Haha, second time will be even faster, like my case. I managed to make to hospital in time though. Think you better learn some delivery skills, just in case

Mommies,

Re: tiger container

I have one of those - they are called the porridge maker. Apparently, when you put rice and boiling water, after sometime, you will get porridge.

I tried once and it worked but din like it cos can cook porridge but what about the vege and meat? Find the container too big and deep too.

I prefer my other tiger container. Comes with two containers in the flask. One for porridge, another one for the meat and vege. When using the thermal flask, I do not like to mix the vege with the porridge as the heat will continue to cook the vege and vege becomes yellow by meal time. Hence, I prefer to separate them in diff containers.
 
SuperDad,
Congrates!!! hey. . .u purposely one izit?! Normaly guys like to have kids and wife dun want then they will 'zuo shou jiao' . ha. . .

Cheers,
congrates! I also want to have second one too but then still no mensus yet le. Also, no one can take care of the baby for me. Dun think my maid can handle two babies.

Ong Lip Peng,
Most of the babies from this thread are born in August 06. When ur bb born? But then you are welcome to join in even if your baby not august bb la.

Augustmum,
I also bot the same jar as yours! I also prefer this one coz got 3 compartments, can be for vege/meat, soup and porridge/rice. Then each compartment comes with cover so soup/porridge will not pour out.

Fiona,
Thanks. Juz back from Isetan, the $40 promo dun have liao. But then the salesman show me the jar, at the end I chosen the one same as Augustmum's coz I prefer 3 compartments.

cocomo/augustmum
The one you showed on the pic look really nice...how much? I bought the $40 promo one but now see yours....think the promo one a bit urgly lei....

BTW, the promo one, according to the promoter, you can put rice in there, pour in boiling water, cover for 45 mins, and you will get porridge???
 
Hi cocomo.. thanks..

yap.. my baby boy is born on 17-August-2006...

thinking of bringing my boy out for a swim.. can i check wat are the items i need to get before hand?
 
Piyo,
Forget to tell you Tiger one also can tahan 6 hours.

Julie,
Coz this one no discount so I bot for $65 yesterday. Not sure abt the cooking of porridge part le.

kRis,
I will bring float, swim suit, towels (preferbly 2 coz one need to wrap baby when get out from water and another one after bath), suncream, non-rinsable shower foam and clothing. oh ya and a small bath tub if they dun have shower facility for baby.
 
cocomo/augustmum/julie,
i also find the one you bought looks nicer, but never mind lah, $40 very worth it, me "tan xiao pian yi" hehehe...

the promoter also told me the promo one can cook porridge, i haven't experiment it. but my friend taught me to put the open container to my ear and i can hear the "won won" sound(dunno how to explain), and she told me the vacuum for the jar is good, the louder the better.
 
hi fiona,
i was just relieved the other time when I tested -ve. my menses was late for 2 wks cos mine was always regular b4 preggie. was rather worried and excited at the same time.

oic. asked the sales assistant and she said can put porridge, just that cannot keep warm for too long. also find the lid a bit loose but the packaging very attractive.

Hi augustmum and cocomo,
i din see that leh. perhaps shd show my hb and see if he'll agree to me buying it.

hi kris,
welcome!
 
cocomo,

Mine is the same type but has only two compartment. Going to but another one with three components for zac. Can put fruits.

Hee... now when I go out with older son and need to pack food, I will put rice in one container, then stir fried vege and meat in another. Make it nice nice, like bento

hi erin,
yah...it's a mixed feeling..whenever i think abt it only makes me
kao_dizzy.gif


women very cham...mense come very sian, dun come we worry(no matter it's pregnant or not).
 
Fiona,
My mother also told me muz listen to the wong wong sound, the louder the better!

Augustmum,
I saw the 2 compartments one as well. Actually I was at Tiger counter for more than 20mins deciding which one to buy. Ha. . .
 
cocomo,
ya lor...when i got home told my hubby and he knows it too, how come only now then i learn haha...

julie,
porridge will turn watery ar? i oso dunno leh..
 
Hi Superdad and Erin,

But I have a problem. My son don't like to drink water. Everyday, we feed him water, he would try to push the bottle away or mouth don't move at all. That's way, everyday, he drank only abt 10 - 20 ml of water. Really don't know what to do to make him drink more.

There's once I tried letting him sleep on the bed with pillow on his head and let him hold the bottle and feed himself. This trick works for 1 day only. That day, he drank a lot. But the next weekend, I tried the same method. No longer work. He still play with his bottle and don't drink.

I think he's the only bb in this tread who drank the least water.

1 more query. For fruit puree that was stored in freezer, after defroze, how do we heat it up before giving bb? Is it just warm the puree in a cup of hot water? If warm, just lukewarm can already, is it?
 
Hi Superdad,

Barley itself don't contain sugar, right?

If we don't add sugar to barley water, then is it still ok?

Sorry for so insisting on barley question. Cos' my in-laws very insisting in giving. At first, they want to give gripe water, but I strongly against it. So, they have no choice but to suggest barley water. That's why I want to find out more. If really not good, I would stop them.
 
hi mummies,
anyone fed bb sweet peas already? do i need to open the pods and scrape out the peas from the pod or puree the pod as well?
 
hi crispyapple,
i din add sugar to the barley water. my boy din really like it though. prefers plain water more. perhaps u can let him try drinking from sippy cups or using a spoon to feed him water. my confinement lady told me to feed him water after his bath cos he'll be thirsty. and yes, he usually drinks quite a bit after his bath (40 to 60ml)after his bath. you can also feed him little water during the intervals of solid feeding. Hope this helps.

hi fiona and cocomo,
i also din know that leh. something new.

hi cocomo,
i stood there for quite a while too. still thinking of getting one leh. maybe dun tell hb. buy 1st.
happy.gif
 
hi crispyapple,
your baby's not the only one who doesn't drink water, mine flatly refuse won't open her mouth at all, as if she got super sense can tell the diff when i hold it near!

FYI, my boys' PD only charges $150 include consultation.

hi white lady..

hi ling2..

my boy can sit quite steady but sometimes will still fall.. he can sit without support.. but remember, all babies are different in their development.. dun stress yourself and your baby by comparsion... it happened to me once and i think not worth it.. must keep on giving our little love lots of encouragements and loves and hugs..

hi Jokojoko..

hahaa.. i did only once and forget about it.. now just make those simple one.. thanks for the diaper.. will go look for it.. u know roughly how much is it??

Hi mommies..

Hi Juile
I have used the tiger thermo during the weekend. Brought Kayden to Sentosa. Put his porridge in the thermo. It didn't turn watery. Hope this helps. BTW B4 I went to buy this tiger thermo. I went to this shop to look for thermo. The lady asked me what I want to use the thermo for?? I told her to put baby's porridge. She told me not to buy from her. Hers is from China..can't keep baby's porridge warm. The most 1 to 2 hrs only. She asked me to go to shopping centres and buy thermo from Japan which can keep food warm much longer. Lucky to meet this frank sales asst.
 
thx, Leia,
Tat's wat i told her as well...
but den not sure can cop with e expenses lor..
nd more budgeting fr now on..

say is easier to gv birth..but seem like still got lot of thing to worry abt...no wonder e birth rate in singapore keep dropping..haha...
 
Crisyapple

Regarding Barley water for baby. I had been giving baby barley water if she never poo poo for 2 days. & it did help her to make her poo poo softer lor.. normally, my mum will cook the barley without putting any sugar & etc so it will be the same taste as plain water. Think it is ok for baby more than 6mths to have barley water as saw in the TMC baby book, it states that if baby got fever, also can give barley water so baby will not be so heaty..

Other than barley water, i also give baby the dong Guo water to drink (those white slices cover with sugar in a packet one) I will put 1 or 2 slices in the cup, then put hot water into it & then leave it till it cool & then pour into bottles & mixed with water for baby to drink. Does help for my baby to poo poo or went she is heaty..
 
Hi Jesline
I agree on the barley water w/o sugar. However, on those "dong guo" with sugar is it suitable for baby?? The sugar content is it a bit too high for infant??
 
ling2,
mine still a bit shaky.

Crisyapple,
If ur bb cant poo, try fruit. For my case, MIL cook barley w/out sugar as well 2 mixed in the milk. Work for my dd but nt ds as he find the milk taste weird.
 
Hi, honeyhaven

i will mix it with water till bland.... so not sweet... will test it before giving to baby... so far ok....

but now seldom give baby.... only give when dont have time to boil barley....

Hi Mummies & daddy,
Thanks for your concern. megan got UTI and fever was due to UTI. Did urine test and not good and have to bring the urine test for more detailed scanning.. results would only be out this mid week... last friday, apart from doing the test, she has to go thru ultra scan to check on the kidney and bladder c if there are any abnormalities.. I was not there to witness, my hubby was.. megan cried her lungs out..until my hubby also wanna cry liao
sad.gif
PD mentioned most prob is due to her genitals not cleaned properly but can only confirm when the detailed results come out... meantime, she is on antibiotics which should bring her fever down by today.. so far her fever has come down and she is smiling liao now I am worried about the test results...

menawhile also feeling super down, cos din expect the fever to come from UTI and giving her BM also will fall sick and so jia lat somemore haiz
sad.gif


Hi Cocomo,
