brenda,
ya, have to start on FM coz my SS is dropping. not only dropping ah, it's @#$&!& <font color="ff0000">plummeting</font>!! my frozen milk bank is going bankrupt man. we bought a small tin of isomil, but he hates it. die la! any tips on how to get him to drink it? or does this mean it's a shot in the dark and i have to buy and buy until we find one he likes? do all soy-based milk taste the same?
dumpty,
when u're ready to start on FM, u might want to try enfapro. that's what my PD gave me. he said it's the closest tasting to breastmilk, so chances of the bb rejecting it is lower. ask ur PD for samples la!
apparently some PDs are given lotsa samples.
cheekz,
no, i didn't go to coverlooks. i asked coz i remember reading abt some $18 package, but after they take all the pics, they show u so many nice ones that one cannot help but buy them all! what's included in the $188 package btw?

morning gals !!
thanks for your well wishes for my LITTLE rachel ! ehehhe ....
jRt
eh your used tea bags idea sounds good ! or maybe I can try pandan leaves too ! but I am bothered by the stains leh .. hmm ..
Joon
I tried similac on Rachel and she doesnt like it so I switched to EnfaLac too and I agree it taste near to our EBM so she's quite happy with it now. I've just requested for EnfaPro stage 2 sample from Meadjohnson yesterday.
Re:Saby
I dont really know what happen to this pretty baby but I know she went thru lotsa operation. I think it's too taxing on this little one and has emotionally drained her parents as well. I hope she is leading a better life in the other side of the world and her parents to move on.

It is really really a sad day. Though we do not know Sabie and families at all, think all of us are crying and feeling hurt for them.
This morning, 1st thing i did when i reached office was logon to Oct05 thread for updates. When i saw the posting the Sabie is gone, my tears juz rolled.... It is sooooooo sad.
We must really really treasure our little one and all the loved ones around us. Life is so cruel at times....

i used 2 USED tea bags and put on a small plate, then place it in the FTG. i dun place direct lah, else will stain the FTG. i heard lemons will do the trick oso. but since i drink tea everyday, might as well make use of the used tea bags.
wrt to little Sabie
i saw her photo gallery. she is such an adorable little girl. my heart wrenched when i imagine how much suffering she had went thru all these while.
we r all so blessed to have healthy babies. I juz wish her peace in the other world that she is in...

<font color="0077aa">J@@n</font>, oh dear.. I really can't tell you if all the soy based milk taste the same but I guess they surely has one thing in common, that's SOY! But are you 100% sure that it's animal fats that DN's allergic to? Sorry that day at the food court got lots of noisy children(Buttons, JRt & Ling heehee..) yakking away so didn't really manage to hear you well.. If I remember correctly, I fed my Chloe Frisomil (maybe spelling sa-lar..). Hope DN overcomes this allergy soon like my girl yah..
<font color="0077aa">Cheekz</font>, if you want more detailed info of ANY Spas, <font color="ff0000">Mrs Buttons aka SQ-SpaQueen</font> is a better person to ask, she specialises in SG, M'sia and some say Batam.. heehee..

hi mummies,
me taking a quick break off work. so sad to hear about Sabie. Let's look on the bright side that she's no longer suffering and will be God's little angel. Pray for her family to stay strong and pull through this difficult time.
thank you all for the birthday wishes. Won't be able to do anything special for Trinity this month cos busy like hell at work.
But she continues to give us a special present every month just around her birthday by surprising us with new tricks she learnt. She's been crawling pretty well for the past 2 weeks and we've been letting her practise pulling and pushing herself to standing position. Last night, she can actually push herself up standing and release her hold and stand unsupported (wibbly wobbly of cos) for a split second. This gal so pleased with the new trick she learnt kept trying and trying again (I was starting to wonder how come her bum doesn't hurt from all the plonking down). at one try she actually managed to stand for about 2 secs before falling again.
ilb,
so fast thinking about 1 year celebration already. Time really flies doesnt it. Same time last year, i was throwing up morning day and night and even having thoughts of giving up the baby cos its making me feel so sick. But she's such a bundle of joy now.
mmmhh.... wouldn't it be fun if we hold a big combine birthday bash just for us sept babes? We seem to be quite a tight bunch meeting ever so often isn't it. If there are other mummies with thumbs up for this, I will make sure that I fly back with little T to attend.
Brenda darling, wanna organize?
Joon, I still have to pay you for the class. how huh.

Regarding FTG
We had an experience where 1 bottle of EBM wasn't capped properly and the EBM spilled into the FTG during transportation... so what I did was to soak the entire FTG into a basin of warm water, then used the Pigeon baby cleanser to wash it... then soak it again with warm water then rise it thoroughly. I think its perfectly fine to wash it.. but please ensure you hang it up to drip dry. At best, let it dry for 1-2 days. (not in hot sun hor.. kekeekek) If not, when you next freeze your FTG after the wash, the remaining moisture may become ice, then when you bring it out doors, you will find the FTG alittle wet.
My wife does store the FTG in the freezer other than our own home (our own freezer is fully utilised for frozen EBM and puree. Other than that, when we are at my in-laws place, their freezer do have those standard meat and fish stored within.
As my in laws have a good habit of storing poultry, meat and fish in storage containers, it helps to reduce any liquid from the poultry, meat or fish staining or dripping onto the shelves. (which is the main cause of the odour) But in any case, we will place FTG into a zip lock bag (but too big so cannot seal the zip lock bag).
The best way is to wash it thoroghly and regularly. Using lemon will only rid the FTG of the smell but its still good hygiene to wash the FTG whenever possible.
