Hi Mummies,
I have not been in this site since I bb was 7 months old when I has mastitis. Lucky still can bf now.

Now everyone is busy with menu and enrichment classs. I send Sarah to MyGym and she enjoys it.

Can someone tell if you still need to puree your porridge? I give a combination of organic brown rice,barley and millet + 1 orange veg + 1 green veg and fruits.

I'm v terrible. Only last week I started to give porridge as dinner. In the past, has been tofu + egg yolk/ sweet potato/ pumpkin. No grains. I am starting to worry now.

Each servings is abt 2/3 to 3/4 bowl of porridge. Is that ok?

Worry.....

 

[Mbb2]

hi En En,
dun worry.
tofu and eggs are high in choline (sp?) which is good for the brain.

so tats means you have been serving your bb loads of brainy food!

Ruffybear,
you can come over anytime wat

juz make sure i am ard lo...kekeke.

Zion,
it's the bb swimming! mummy....

i am not gonna expose my fats and stretch marks to you!!!! hee heee.

Afcai,
dun worry...my QC is pretty good. stock up but neber let item passes expiry date.

Ladies,

[mummyme]

Hi mummies,
Can i ask if anyone has taken Funugreek supplements before? The capsules? Now i'm still total BF-ing but these days supply dropping fast! Think it's a combined result of pumping less at work cos super busy and also kena food poisoning few days ago and was sick for 3 consec days. Wonder also whether my menses is coming back soon... stlll not back yet!(anyone same as me!??)

Now wondering if there are ways to increase supply. Always heard of pple taking this supplement so wanted to consult u all to see if u tried before. Is it expensive? Where to get ah? and any side effects? Wonder if i can just take for a short period to increase supply then stop taking?

Pls advise if u can yah? thanks!!

p/s: Mbb, thanks for the sale info. Any idea the JL sale ends when?

 

[Mbb2]

Stephanie,
JL sale ends today.

besides diaper, nursery item is 20% plus every $10 nett, you get 30% voucher.

Shihui,
i started Meg on Yoplait bb yoghurt. it comes with 2 vanilla and 2 banana flavour.
i will eat the vanilla flavour.

but i find it too big tube. now i feed Meg the petite version but only the banana flavour coz i only will feed Meg berries after her 1st bday.

NTUC normally only have the berry version.
Cold Storage n Carrefour will have the other flavour.

juz started Meg on tofu. so far so good.
hee hee hee....dun tink PH will lose his machoness after taking tofu la

i only go to those spa tat dun hard sell. AND i dun sign any package after the spa i previously went to closed down

 

[mummyme]

Hi mbb,
thanks for the info!

i wanted to try yoghurt on lucas too but also couldnt find leh. does it say it's for babies on the packaging? or it's just normal kind? All along i've been looking for one that says it's for babies... so maybe i've been looking for the wrong thing!!

Talkabout spa...sigh...i spent like almost $6k on facial packages to-date at FIL...paid upfront but havent been gg since i got pregnant!!! Victim of hard-sell lor... so dumb. And they just happily take my $ but never call and ask me why i never make appt etc. Guess they wait for me to call n make my own appt but wah... no customer service lor. And honestly, i think my skin is better w/o gg for facial!! Now i'm stuck with this package that i never use. Anyone goes to FIL and wants to buy credits? I sell u at a discount?!! heh

 

[Mbb2]

Stephanie,
the yoplait tat have 2 flavour only (banana & vanilla) is stated bb yoghurt.

i have been hunting hi n lo for bb yoghurt too. so glad when i finally found it!

last week i was hunting for bb cheese.....

oh, why dun you ask FIL to convert your facial package to massage, madi/pedi etc. dun waste your $6K!!!

i won a free massage with FIL....after my session, they tried to hard sell me.
kekeke....i mananged to walk away without paying 1 cent

<font color="0000ff">hi mummies,</font>
Just came back from GUG trial class this morning. Very tired as this morn, wakey early to cook porridge for hayley to eat before we off for her lesson. Hmm.. although this class is an 1.5hr, actually it more like 1 hr clas as there are 15 min for warm up free play, ten min break n in between break for activties. The age gap is too big too. For Gifted Baby, it is bet 8 month - 18 month, so younger babies diffcult to catch up on some activities. Hayley unables to pay attention esp on the story telling and handicraft time. Ended up, I also very tired trying to make Hayley stay still. The 2nd half, I asked hubby to go in and take over. haa

Conclusion: we found she enjoyed better @ Kindermusik, where there are many songs/activties / instructment to go along.

<font color="0000ff">Hi Rainv,</font>
Maybe you will enjoy much better than us. Coz I have a friend who has sent her ger to GUG since she was 9 months and till today she has upgraded to Gifted Tots. So very up to individual babies. Enjoy yur trial on Oct 21.

 

[isishui]

stephanie, mbb,
i'm oso a victim of hardsell.. still hav $2000 worth of facial with FIL too...

muz find a day to go there liao...

but hor, my skin condition changed aft having bb... seems less problematic leh... *keeping finger cross*

*PH trying desperately to grab my mouse now*

mbb,
oh.. no wonder i can't find other flavours.. i onli go ntuc.... shall go cold storage n carrfour when i hav the chance..

 

[kimi]

MBB, shihui, stephanie,
i just tried bb yoghurt on mandy too. cos see her so thin a bit gek sim, tot yoghurt might b able 2 fatten her up... hahaha... plus i'm q sick o giving her e same food lah...
so i gave her yoplait bb yoghurt for snack today. i'm amazed tt she finished e whole cup at one go. like so yummy lidat. both me n hubby tried n screwed up our faces! SO SOUR n no sweetness AT ALL!!!! pei fu tt mandy, lidat oso can eat...

mbb,
so did u find ur bb cheese? where to get huh? isit e kiri u were mentioning? oh, thx 4 e info on porridge combi. u really hardworking lah, bother 2 find a nice mix. maybe i shld pay more attn so she'd eat more. i bo chap one. watever is available tt day, i'll just chop it up n add into her porridge! hahahaha.... tmr she'll get peach+spinach+zucchini+shredded chkn porridge! cos hubby bot some peaches n we din like them.

but i make sure it's nutritious lah. prev i kept letting her eat spinach, so i had 2 keep cooking spinach 4 dinnner 4 e adults too. beri sick o it. once in a while, she has 2 eat watever we eat. then fair rite?
oh, n e brinjal hor, i just chop up n cook in porridge too. w skin n seeds. hehehe... she seems 2 like tho.

ladies,
i dunno y hor. everytime hubby feeds mandy porridge, she'd eat a lot, much much more than when i feed. then she wldn't fuss much too... i make her lose appetite meh??? HMPH!
but i'm act happy cos today i made him take over porridge feeding! lalalalalala!!!!!

 

[en_en]

MBB, Shihui, Stephanie,
I give Sarah organic yoghurt. It is sold at $4 per tub. It's sour but she likes it. I add peach, prune or whatever fruits I intend to give that day. She loves it. The brand is "Bambu...." something. I buy mine from Brown Rice Paradise at Tanglin Mall. It's yogurt specially for bb.

Stephanie,
If you find ways to increase, pls share. My ss is also dropping. Also full BF so very stress when SS drop. For the previous 3 weeks have problem letdown whenpumping inthe office. Thought it's the end of BF. Luckily, last week managed to improve by spending more time pumping. Finally letdown but after 10 min. Very siong cos my colleague also pumping but can complete in 5 min. So worry boss will wonder if I was skiving.

Mummies,
How do you give cheese and how much? would it be too salty?

Do you still puree the porridge? I saw the husks of the brown rice in Sarah's output and so decide to restart puree. The porrridge was even cooked in slow cooker for 3 hours!!!

Another thing that's worrying. She still cannot clap. Sigh!!! Don't think she is malnutritient, what!! She is 10 kg now. Other motor skill seems okay. She can stand on her own for 2 sec now. Still humpty dumpty, though. How are your children doing?

 

[bobianah]

mbb
meg soooooo cute!

as usual...i always think she's a pretty bb.

EnEn
dun worry abt not clapping la...some bb's motor skills develop later. no point comparing lor.
you take sarah to mygym? i just started her out on it for 8 weeks to give her a place to use up her energy.

I go to the woodlands one.

kimi
so funny! ya, make ur hb feed!! then she can put on wt!

Gan
how many bbs in the GUG class? the age gap so big! but haiz, if the activity too advanced for our bb's age not very good ley...

Mon & Tues I'm on course....see ya'll on Wed.

 

[momtb]

Mummies
Hahaha...tonite so chiao...went to Tien court for dinner n bumped into Siman (another Dec Mummy).

Re food...I tried giving Ewan petite miam fromage frais but he dislikes it...so end up hb underwrite everything. Then last week I introduced egg yolk n it seems ok. Will be giving him egg yolk on alternate days now. Then today I added some toasted wheatgerm into his porridge for Vit B n iron. He shd b ok with it cos he seems to tolerate wheat cereals well. Bot organic tofu but has been sitting in the fridge for many days liao, too many foods to try

Next veg to try will be brussel sprouts but couldn't find the organic ones today

En en
I also add organic wholegrain brown rice into my boy's porridge occasionally...cook in slow cooker like u. Also see the husk in his poo but that's ok one. I also see kiwi seeds, spinach etc in my boy's poo. Husk is not digestible anyway so will come out in poo...doesn't mean they r not digesting their food well.

 

[vaness81]

Hi Ladies,
Today I bought my 3Rs to my friend's gal 1st bday party at Gymboree. I think for Reyna, this is better than kindermusik, cos the activities are more "active" and they actually make the child plays while the parent is only there to "look after" the kids by holding them while they played. Rachel & Renise enjoyed very much in the class too.

En En, Stephanie,
Fenugreek can increase the milk ss on certain ppl only. It is not effective on everybody and the capsule can be found in GNC / Nature Farm. This is consider class 3 medication, hence it is not 100% save for baby although many mummies have try it n their bbs are ok. Other medicine u can consider is goat rue, this is safer than fenugreek. At one point of time, when my menses is about to return, my ss dipped alot and I started worrying and wanted to resort to this goat rue, hence I know it can be found in certain places only. One of them is www.pharmaplus.com.sg, but I didn't buy afterall. It is quite ex and I'm quite skeptical abt taking supplements. I restore my ss by frequent pumping and keeping myself relax as well as more rest. Plus, I started to boil the papaya fish bone soup again and starts to take lots of fish and fluid. Natural way is the safest and best of all, except that a little more effort have to be put in. Good luck!

Stephanie,
Haha, I also got a $500 worth of facial with Body Wellness till date, fully paid with installment, still haven't utilise a single session. Still hang down there hoping they will return me my money.

Shihui,
I also hate to go those hard-selling spa, that's y I nvr want to go for any complimentary spa session as after that, sure cannot come back w/o buying their products.

 

[Mbb2]

Kimi, En En,
yup. i got the kiri cheese spread. so far, tis is the only one tat hv least sodium and sugar free.

will feed Meg next week coz tis week awredy full liao for new food quota.


En En,
i am not going organic with Meg coz she will be eating our food soon.

Kimi,
not hardworking la. juz tat Meg is fussy, so i have to get alot of recipe on standby.

hee heee...now you have the right reason to arrow your hb to feed Mandy dinner everynite!

Lil,
where did you get your wheatgerm from?
if i am not wrong, we cant cook it rite?

Bobianah,
Hannah is soooooo lucky.
she get to attend so many classes.

you got the Gymboree fairy dress right?
what size did you get?
the 12 to 18 mths booties is HUGE! Meg's haed can fit in it

Ladies,
anyone feed bb ABC pasta yet?
how to cook huh?

 

[coolman]

mbb,
meg look so cute wif the 2 ponytail. she look more like a toddler now. hope my next one will b a girl girl so tat i can dress her like a princess. keke..

dora,
glad to know JT willing to eat now. since we live near each other, jus call mi if u need any help. see when i take half day leave we can go gai gai again.

speaking of facial/spa,
i will go once a month to de-stress myself from work. always feel relaxing n refresh after e session. guess i kinda of addicted to it.
Stephaine, Vanessa, since u gals already pay for the facial, y not spend once a mth(1-2hr) to enjoy the treatment.

 

[Mbb2]

oh....may i know wat is parsnips and kurau fish in chinese?

cheers

 

[coolman]

hi mbb,

tks for the info on kiri cheese. I hav been looking for cheese tat is sutiable for our bbs age. My hub said let our boi try the normal cheese tat we eat wif bread but i feel not suitable for bbs. Tats y till now still have let jav try any cheese yet.

 

[sylk]

mbb,
I have given R pasta, but it's the Italian version. Just put about 2-3 teaspoons of pasta in about 250ml water and cook until soft. Keep topping up water if necessary. If you ever go Roma again, keep a look out for the pasta that's specially produced as baby foods... either Plasmon or Mellin brand. They have different shapes and sizes, for babies of varying ages, starting from 5 months onwards. Not expensive, each box about S$2-4 only. I wish I had gotten more, thought Singapore would have them.

 

[estertoh]

hihi
im new to this thread.. this thread is interesting! Guess most babies here are born in dec 06? my boy was also born in dec 06, n he is now noti and practicing his wide range vocal cords (means screaming la..ha) Also likes to fling things on the ground..

 

[afcai]

this week, shiok, no need to go bck to work, 3 days on course outside. in fact, last fri already on course. but hor, breast suffer cos skip the lunch pump and got big big lump at my left side. so need 1-3 days to clear the pump.


stephanie, mbb,shihui,

En En
ai-yo, tx also cannot stand on her own loh. she can stand (lean against the sofa) when she is concentrate on something. other than that, her legs still wobbly.

tx can clap liao. when she hear the song ' if u r happy and u will clap yr hand etc...." she will clap and smile. she also loves ppls to compliment her and if not, she will make sure comliment her by looking at u and then clap her hand (ask u to clap hand to tell her she smart).

wow, sarah already 10kg liao. tx still 8.1kg but she ok lah cos I already find her heavy liao.

[momtb]

Mbb
I bot wheatgerm from NTUC, Origins brand. Can toast wheatgerm...if you don't toast the taste is quite horrible (to me lah). It's really yummy after toasting. To toast can use oven or dry fry in skillet.

Esther
Hi welcome to the thread! Hope you will continue to come in here n share ur mommying experience with us

Zion
I don't think not having variety now will make ur boy picky abt food later. For me I try to have variety cos my boy is quite fussy abt taste n I hv time anyway.

 

[starluster]

kimi,
please email me the playgroup details.
[email protected]
thanks

 

[kgirl]

Esther,
Welcome...
My gal has been flinging things onto the floor too... i let her do so cos i suppose she is learning abt cause and effect but i set a limit... after abt 5 times of picking it up for her... i will tell her that she cannot throw it, if she does it means she is not interested in the item at all... that's when i get lazy in picking it up..

xWpInGxW,
Ooh, I must go try eating fish roe too liao... thanks for the tip

mbb2,
how do you cook the tofu? added in the porridge or on its own? pls advise.

tansl... talk about flinging... kate had cracked her drinking bottle by repeatedly hitting it on the table...

 

[estertoh]

Lil, Tansl, Bloom

welcome esther!

 

[dora]

Hello mummies

Thanks for all your concern. I am ok now liao

Think the probiotics might be slowly working, or maybe I finally found the right things for JT to play, or maybe she just decided that she needs to eat... but whatever it is, she is eating now, although she needs to constantly play with stg. Although she will still take abt 1 hr each time, but at least she will finish at least abt 3/4bowl of porridge each time.

LiL
I've started her with porridge long ago. this girl won't touch cereals since last mth. Everyday she will get porridge + a hard veg (sweet potato, lentils, pumpkin or cauliflower), and a meat (pork, beef or fish) and another veg cooked separately as a side dish. Her food is never repeated lor, she even gets different things for lunch and dinner. There was a week where she refused to eat and drink milk, will only eat her teddy puffs and drink plain water, I was so desperate I actually made potato balls out of mashed potato, carrots, pork and spinach, and try to feed her like she would eat the teddy puffs. But she just won't open her mouth lor.... Sigh, I think I just have an extremely fussy eater....

Afcai
I bought the Eu Yan Seng si shen brown rice months ago... that was when she was willing to eat her cereals... and she didn't like it. So till now I still dun dare to let her try again, in case she get phobia of the spoon again

Tan SL
Hahaha... I tot JT is the only destructive one... She has also been throwing things off her hi chair, and also on the bumper mat, she'll just throw aside everything in front of her as she crawls in front.. sometimes the sight is quite hilarious..
Now I call her Hurricane JingTing, cos everywhere she goes, she is sure to make a big mess out of everything.... even more destructive than hurricane Katrina.

Bloom
Kate and JT good sisters hor... JT also broke a cup :S

Oh... JT managed to stand unassisted for like 10+ sec the other day. I caught her holding a toy with both hands and standing there watching TV!! Once she lost concentration, she will fall down... hehehe.... I'm so relieved that her poor weight gain is not affecting her development.

 

[choo]

hi mummies

Bloom,

happy 11th mth to kate! next mth this time she will be one year old liao!

Dora,

Wow glad to know you are feeling better n JT is eating.

jia you!!

Kimi,

Thanks for the advices you have given me in email.Hope I will be able to handle next mth!

MBB,

Ya Meg look like a cute tod in the pic!!

I hope to have a girl!

Sat we tried egg yolk on Ivan.so far so good.just gave him a bit only.He didnt like codfish as too fishy so will just stick to threadfin. He surprise my family by standing unassisted for about 10sec recently. On sat he was having a nap on the mattress .then normally he will cry when he woke up...bt this time he didnt until hubby saw him standing at the wardroble only then he let out a cry! quickly go save him cos afraid he might fall.nowaday he is behaving more n more a toddler..this morning he went to grab the air con remote.dun want give me at all.n still on the air con.when i tried to reason with him n tried my luck to get from you,still throw tantrum at me.

 

[choo]

Just want to check when is our bbies considered a toddler? 12mth or 18mth?

 

[afcai]

kimi

zion

bloom

yup, safra card certain places got lot of promotion. so look out for it esp when one go for shopping or makan places.

esther
where's kidzloft? hello, see u in the other thread also...

hwee
err..tot the bottom teeth shd be out first.tx also got another 2 tiny look like rice teeth at her upper gum.

dora
brown rice power very bland one, maybe u add in fish or some ingredient to it, see if she like it.

 

[qsg]

Ladies, thanks for your words of consolation.

Btw, dunno if you remember about 2 months back we brot evee to jap rest. and the waitress dropped something when serving and splash abit of the sauce on Evee's hair? yesterday went back to the same place another drama but this time nothing to do with waitress. Evee was put on high chair while we tried to settle my elder gal, we ordered some food while waiting for our table and some sushi was served. Before we realise that the food was served since busy with elder gal we saw that Evee already grabbed one of the californa maki and tearing it and munching at same time. We were totally shocked and she had fish roe all over face...fortunately it is not sashimi that we ordered can't imagine if she consume raw fish for her age. Hubby was upset that everytime go this rest. got something happened..we dun really enjoyed the dinner too as we were too busy with the 2 kids..gave evee so much bb bites already she still very restless bite her shoes, bite her pants strings..touch this and that and even go and touch the other patrons. Aiyoh..


Zion, thanks for the link, the organsiers still accepting orders. Now thinking if i should just buy direct from Guardian as have to wait 4 weeks from now if wanna order from BP. I got one friend said her friend wears a body suit that can correcet posture but cost $2K..very ex.

Gan & mummyme, i saw your name in the BP too. What happened to you?

Choo, consider toddler once past 1st birthday.

Afcai, using sling or carrier will not help as bb's weight is still on me so spine have to work extra hard to absorb the extra weight.

 

[hweehwee]

dora, good to hear that you're fine. you already got my number, anytime you need help just call me.

afcai, i know should be lower teeth first but so far lower gums nothing. only top 2 visible coming out and 2 more going to appear. dunno why also.

choo, not bad huh? ivan can stand also! you must be so happy!

qsg, guess evee is the same as all bbs here, they're all soooo curious, so everything they can get hold on, they stuff into their mouth.

looks like evee enjoys her food, good for her! i know that body suit, its also meant for slimming right? my fren bot 3 sets and each set is 1.7k. she says its very good, now she dun have backache and her breasts seems firmer too! hope it'll help you too! and remember, dun carry anything heavy, including your handbag, make sure its not too heavy.

 

[Mbb2]

Tan SL,
i add tofu into the porridge 15mins be4 i serve Meg.

i got the soft tofu tat is suitable for cold dish/miso soup.

if you wanna keep it for a few days (the leftover uncooked tofu), soak it in water. remember to change the water every 2 days.

Hwee,
hmmmm...maybe i dun like vanilla flavour or is it tat Meg have not eaten vanilla before.
i cant remember liao.

yoghurt is a new food at tat time so if Meg have allergy, i can narrow down to yoghurt (coz she is ok with banana).

actually i prefer plain yoghurt but i cant find suitable version and i dun believe my homemake yoghurt is up to standard yet. kekeke...

Zion,
yup, got pool at my place.
Meg swim with dad. mummy juz hang ard and wrap her up in towel when she finito

Lil,
hee...which section of NTUC is wheatgerm under?

i am going Royal China on 18th Nov.

Choo n Serene,
these couple of days, the more i looked at Meg, the more i felt tat she is a toddler liao

sob sob sob....i miss her bb version!!!!

gotta get myself preggy again liao.

Choo,
bravo to Ivan!
see...he is growing so well. keep up the good work!

Dora,
hey gal, good to see you happy again

Bloom, Mbb
It's found at the health/organic food section at NTUC. Comes in a big packet for I think less than $5.

Mbb
Wow...u plan where to go for meals so far ahead??? I still don't know where I'll be then...my cousin is coming back from UK with her bb boy in Nov so I might be in KL at that time. Want E to meet his cousin

Dora
Good to hear things r improving...u n JT both jia you jia you ok. Sound like JT is a really fussy eater...read somewhere they recommend that for fussy eaters dun bother forcing them to eat 2 fixed large meals a day. Just give them many small meals a day n give them different things each time. Maybe vege sticks, then fruits, then yogurt. That way they will get more nutrition in.

Choo
I read somewhere that once they turn 1yr old they r considered toddlers liao. Hehehe...think mine still looks like bb altho outsiders who meet him say "wah he is only 9mths"

Esther, Dora, Bloom
Same here...since v young E always throws things. He hates to see things on our table or in his toy box...will pull n throw everything n create big mess in living rm. Then will drag his toys all over the hse...play a few secs then discard...so whole hse the flr covered in his toys n me constantly picking up after him. Haiz...

Mummies
Do ur bb's imitate u doing hsework? Mine hor...every morn will fight with me for the magic floor sweeper. Fight with the cleaner for the vacuum n mop. Then hor, will use his hanky to wipe wipe his bumper mat n floor. That day he was wiping the floor with the hanky...his hand slipped n he fell on his face. Cut his tongue...Haiz. THen always throw tantrum when u dun allow him to play with those things.

Mummies another question...for those bb's who r learning to walk...do they tip toe when they walk. Aiyo...E is always tip toeing. He wants to walk desperately...whole day stand up n make us hold his hands while he walks or rather tip toes ard. Keep teaching him to walk with his feet flat but after a few steps will tip toe again.

 

[hweehwee]

qsg, my fren she dun have the contact now. she'll go back and find. its been a while since she bot those. so far i know she makes an effort to wear jacket and long pants to conceal the suit. yes, she wears to work and sleep (almost 20 hrs a day).

lil, that's how kids learn. they imitate.

yes, its ok and natural for kids to tip toe when they're learning how to walk. but if you do notice he doesn't walk with feet down, then you can help by letting him wear shoes even at home. but this will be at later stage. my fren's boy has this problem, always tip toe even after 18 months. so pd ask her to let him wear shoes all the time. it helps!

 

[roo13]

Denise dun like the baby yoghurt. Mayb she is like me can't take sour stuff. When I tasted the bb yoghurt, I gave the same expression as Denise haha............. Will try again this Wed.
1 of the mummies mentioned that her bb does not know hw to clap. Denise too. The only action she knows is waved 'bye bye' Can't do bang kiss as well. She will put her fore finger in her mouth.

Mbb2, Lil,
Wat is wheatgerm? Wat is the nutritious value for bb?

Lil,
Denise crawls very fast now so her clothes is the mop haha.....

 

[qsg]

Hwee, pls help me thank your friend for the trouble. Any idea if she got say if the bodysuit is very tight till uncomfy?Pei Fu her for wearing 20 hours..i am wondering if wanna go toilet will be very difficult to remove.

 

[momtb]

Roo
Wheatgerm is the part of the wheat grain that contains all the goodness. Contains loads of Vit B n minerals such as hard to get iron.

 

[hweehwee]

no problem, qsg. but hor, she very muddle headed one. always lost numbers....some more this one dunno how many years liao. she told me its uncomfortable at first but you'll get used to it. yes, it is very troublesome to go to toilet, you'll need to loosen many hooks.... well, you know how some ppl vain then troublesome also dun care lor.

once i have the details i'll pm you. no worries!

roo, me also dun take yoghurt, too sour. and yes, bb also give that expression at first, but after few spoonfuls ok liao. then the next few times, he actually ask for some more. i only give him 2 tablespoon each time.

its an acquired taste.

 

[momtb]

Hwee
Can I ask abt your maid agency...I remember it's called sunrise rite? Is there anyone specific there whom u deal with? Also, do they specialise in myanmar maids or do they do mainly Indon n Philipino maids? I m just wondering how many maids do they hv on their files at any one time. I m thinking of getting one now but after my experience with an Indon maid I m abit scared. This time I only want a Myanmar maid.

wat brand of tofu u give meg? i bought the unicurd or fortune tofu for soup one - very soft. usually got promotion, 2 for $1.25.
haa, normally, i dun keep leftover tofu, i dump all tofu into her porriage and then eat together with her. cos cooking 1 bowl of porriage took 2hrs via slow cooker so usually will cook 3 bowl of porriage then and we all consume porriage for brunch on sat.

wat brand of yoghurt u give to meg? serving cold??

wow, meg very fast know how to walk. so will keep u busy, got to hawk eye on her, follow her. I got a fren who has a 19mth toddler, her toddler love to dig the corner side of the hse. yuck, so dirty and dusty. she mentioned tat luckily, she duid check on her wat she is munching. guess wat- dried cockroach egg. yuck... so she quickly dig it out of her mouth, so digusting...

zion
ai-yo, fish egg, yuck, not a gd taste to me.err..i 'm cutting down my ss liao, gg to gradute my bf career earlier and hopefully b4 tx turn 1. now, am pumping, breast so super engorge man...cos miss the lunch pumping as i am on course today. now is pumping out....

LiL
tx also tx when she learn to walk with support. oh, poor E cut his tongue, must be pain pain. yup, tx will imiate us when we do a clicking sound using tongue, clap hand, place hand onto chest etc...

 

[hweehwee]

lil, they don't specialise in myanmar maids. they bring in from indon, phil and myanmar. dunno how many maids they have each time, but if they have leftover, i know Cecilia (the lady i contact)will try to push to you. that's the feedback i got from another fren recently. my colleagues have good feedback from JPB, you can also give them a try. their charges are very reasonable. just for your info, i sent my maid back as she has some medical problems (heard its common for myanmar maids). now i'm doing without one. engaging the help of part-time cleaner now. just to highlight to you sunrise wanted to charge me $488 for a replacement when the maid wanted to go back! for that price, i can go to other agencies and get a new maid with unlimited replacement. i have to say if given a choice, i will still take indon maid. they are more prepared to work as maids compared to Myanmar maids, tho more sua ku becos of their kampong background.

afcai, ya, next time i bring him to doc will sure ask doc. but poor tim, think his gum sore, he will chew or suck his fingers and teether rings with the either side. so far my family nobody start teething from the top.....
