ladies,
thx 4 ur concern. my mum is much better but still so ke lian lah. luckily 2 of her siblings live w/in walking dist of her place. n mandy is nt showing any signs o sickness. whew!
choo,
my opinion is tt once they start solid, it's pretty impt 2 drink more water but since ivan us still on TBM, then more ok lah. cos FM n cereals can b v heaty. like afcai, everytime after her food or milk, i'd feed mandy water 2 wash away e food/milk. once they haf teeth it's impt 2 do so or risk having tooth decay.
ur mil v nice to u, still celebrate ur bday!
i steam e fish seperately then mash it n add 2 porridge b4 feeding. it's easier 2 chk 4 bones this way.
afcai,
i'm gonna attend a wedding dinner soon n wld leave mandy w hubby. abit worried cos hubby has nv done e last feed b4. worry tt mandy won't b able 2 sleep if hubby breaks e routine. sigh... but once in a while, hafta 'free' myself. hehehe... it'd b e 4th time i leave my bb. i cried e past 3 times. hehehe.. seperation anxiety..
most o e time, mandy can play by herself. but wld get bored after a while n want our company.
bobianah,
to me, if we conscientiously name e objects in our surroundings n speak enof 2 bb, they can learn their language just fine. i dun tink signing wld accelerate language learning. but according 2 books, it might alleviate their frustrations. i dun bother cos it takes a lot o effort n u hafta b v v consistent which i tink i can't. haha..
oh, i love pix o sleeping bbs. makes me wanna KISSSSS them! sooooooo cute n angelic. hehe..
jen,
selinna nt used 2 spoon? all e more u shld start letting her get used 2 it rite? u wan her 2 'eat' fr bottle until when? nt scaring u but some kids find it v hard 2 grow outta it even when they reach toddlerhood. as such, they dun get enof nutrients n dun grow well. ultimately, e aim wld b 4 them 2 sit at e table n eat a meal w us rite?
eh, i only tried e ready 2 mix cereals b4. those need milk. 4 e ones tt need 2 b cooked, i dunno leh.
