Cecelia,
So you steam it before serving, you don't add it together with the porridge to cook for a while? I usually boil it for a while cos I lazy mum, one cooker to boil and the other cooker to steam the fish, then I'll mesh them up before mixing with the porridge, save time hee

augbaby,
don't get too excited hee, your due date is next month yah. next time I can still pass on to you. Both my sister-in-laws' babies are Jan babies, about 5 months younger than Hannah but I realized that they are catching up with her in terms of size and most clothes that I passed to them they can only wear for a month at most...

honeyb,
i lagi more lazy, i use a 2 tier electric steamer and i 'll put the fish to steam in the lower tier for 15 min, and add the vegey (broccoli or spinach + cauliflower + + green pea + tofu) to steam in the top tier when 5 min has passed so by the time 15 min is up, everything is ready to be meshed and served.
For the harder ones like carrot, pumpkin or swett potato, i'll throw into the slow cooker 1 hr before meal time so it'll be soft and can be mashed when served.
Then I'll mix all the steam foods above into the porridge just b4 serving.

honeyB, you dun use slow cooker for the porridge meh? i usually boil the rice on stove until it's expanded, then i out it into the slow cooker. then add the ikan bilis powder for flavoring.
then add brocoli when almost time to feed. the stem will go down much earlier la.. for meat tat i add, sometimes it's lean meat, sometimes it's fish..
our bbs is old enuff to explore more food now, so happy for them!

Racoon,
Haa I'll probably do that too if I have a multi tier steamer...
Augbaby,
yes, your tummy sure looks big, like almost due already, they say second pregnancy will have bigger tummy maybe thats why.
Leobbsmom,
Yes I do have a slow cooker, I put the rice into the cooker from the start leh and after about 2 hours (the rice soft & expanded already), I will add in the veg and fish. If its carrot or pumpkin, sometimes I throw in together with the uncook rice and let them cook slowly if I'm busy.

mummies who letting yr bb try avocado...unless u buy those already ripe one hor, if not think the avocado will take a few days to ripen leh...so if u wan to feed straight, rem to buy those whose skin is very dark brown kind or almost black..but see that it does not hav bruises..coz those bright green colour one means not ripe n cant be feed..also to test if it is ripe, use yr whole hand n squeeze gently and u r kind of feel the flesh separating from the skin n it shld feel soft...hope this helps...

leobbsmom,
yes, if add in brown rice will take longer unless you soak the brown rice first. What my mum do is she will wash the whole pack of brown rice first, then sun them to dry before grinding them into smaller pieces and store, this way it will cook faster and also easier to prepare.

hi everyone..
oooh the topic now is food! yummy..
i have to admit now i am been not working for almost 1 over month, i havent been a good mummy to prepare all sorts of diff food for my boy.
i think u al working mums are very onz!
i was even going to ask if its ok to substitute one meal with cereal esp when going out, cuz i find its hard to pack porridge
infact on days when i cant do marketing i really worry what to put in his meals, cuz porridge dun seem as nutritious as some of the cereals and fruits i can give him.

hi butter8,
during weekday lunch, my girl will have her porridge (with diff ingredients everyday).
u dun have to feel bad abt not preparing meals when u're out, cos i'm also lazy to do that on weekends when we're out.
since my girl turned 10mths, we've introduced many adult food to her. so whenever we bring her out..and even for weekday dinner at home, she'll get to eat most of the food that we're eating.
1) rice + soup (seafood, fish, bittergourd, black chicken, BakKutTeh, miso, etc)
2) beehoon, mee tai mak, kway teow
3) chawanmushi, durian, cheese, yoghurt
4) chee cheong fun, chwee kueh (w/o chai-po)
5) steamed fish, tofu, scrambled eggs
and many many others.
besides these, we still give her 180ml milk 4 times daily.

Went for 2hr foto shoot at Foto U with David Lim as photographer last Saturday. His skills is excellent and he knows just what to do to trigger Jadon to laugh and cackle for the shots and he taught that to us. Very innovative!
We also took some family shots and somehow, I find that it's easier to smile -naturally- this time round compared to when I was taking my wedding shots.
Overall, it was a very fun but tiring experience. We were laughing and singing like crazy people who've just escaped from mad house. Total madness!
Anyway, the 2hr foto shoot is just about right cos by the end of the session, Jadon was tired out and slept through while we were having lunch in a somewhat stuffy coffeshop at Katong - rare! I think babies can only tahan high key activities for about 2hrs+. So no point having a half a day session. We have about 130+ fotos from the shoot, and some very nice pics of the boy in the buff.

good day mommies, thanks for your well-wishes! =)
Shervonn had a great time at the party thou she was still feeling under weather. =P
i managed to get the alphabet pasta, babybel cheese and organic apple cinnamon cheerios all at storage after her party ended! she loves the cheerios!! i brought some to church for her, and shared with other bbs there. it was very popular! =P
as for the babybel cheese, it looks like this...
LAUGHING COW, MINI BABYBEL 5Pieces, 110G
i understood there is a red layer of wax after u peel off the wrapping. there is a string tat can help cut open half the cheese.
hope this helps..
