huskie,

U mean u gg to bring the rice cooker wif u? Can do for the 1st day lunch and dinner if i cook porridge at home first then put in the thermos (hope can last for whole day), but subsequent days? That's why i thot of bringing the cereal and fruits to feed her in the journey. Ya, will let her have some meats too from our meal. Penang quite long journey if u drive! We still dare not travel that far wif YX yet by car...

smurfy, we plan to go KL next friday.

 

[sophie]

Catz,
Soph so guai maybe cos she doesn't really dare to walk around that much yet! Somehow she knows the bumper mat is nice and soft, and will only walk there!

smurfy,
You've got a gai-gai boy!

Yes, so fa VPOST has not let me down!

 

[sophie]

jelly,
Heee, yes, shhhh..... this auntie is bringing a small rice cooker

Cos rice cooker can cook very fast, then dump into my 2 Thermos to soften it for the rest of the day for her lunch and dinner.

I'm flying there... I'm done with roadtrips ever since my failed attempt at Cameron Highlands!

 

[jelly]

huskie.... oooo i see....

Maybe i shd go get a small rice cooker also.

 

[sophie]

jelly,
It's more leychey though, cos you'll have to be prepared to spend 30mins every morning preparing her day's porridge. But I do it cos Soph doesn't like cereals, and I'm afraid the sudden change to all rice and no porridge will cause constipation due to lack of fluids.

The other thing that I've tested out and it worked was to buy instant baby oats, put in Thermos with very hot boiling water and closed Thermos. Wait for about 5 to 10mins, and the oats get cooked

The you can add your own fruits.
You can also "heat" up Thermos first by filling it with hot water then closed the lid to let hot water stand in it for 5 mins.

But I'm also doing this cos Soph cannot take commercial instant oats/cereal cos most contain cow's milk, and she doesn't take cow's milk.

dun think u need to get a rice cooker espeically for this occasion leh, the rice cooker ur auntie use is big ar? then is YX used to taking cereals now? cozzz cereal soooo soft like no filling for them oredi, QY dun like cereals even for breakfast, must top with bread. must try and test whatever methods u intend to use hOr, dun wanna be stuck in a situation that YX dun wanna her food coz it's totally different or dun like

 

[sunsweet]

humm how about those travel cooker? maybe more handy the lugging a small rice cooker..

and thermos is great for keep the porridge hot and con't the cooking for the rest of the day..

actually if plain porridge, can buy at food stalls too.. just a suggestion..

 

[maddy]

Hello mummies,

JWT also confirmed the slot on sunday 11am with me finally...will be nice to meet up with all of you!

 

[jelly]

smurfy,

Ya, the slow cooker i have now is tooooo big and seems like not working well. So have been thinking of buying a small one else my porridge always got buuuurnt!

Btw, can cook porridge using slow cooker rite as i have been using small pot to cook. Nowadays she has 3 milk feeds and 2 solid meal per day. My aunt gave her porridge + fruit after the meal for each solid meal. Since last weekend i also start cooking porridge for her. Saturday porridge turned out ok, but i burnt the porridge on Sunday.

So so sad... Luckily i have the baby cereal wif me. So put some strawberry inside the cereal and feed her. This greedy piggy, eats everything!!!

sunsweet,i dare not buy the plain porridge from food stall in msia especially i am not familiar and not sure can find one. So better bring her food wif me...

jas
in that case u might just want to be buy a small rice cookeR to cook porridge? coz they will upgrade to soft rice very soon and slow cooker is moRe for porridge onli.

 

[sophie]

jelly,
Yep, can also bring slow cooker, but my slow cooker is really slooooow....

plus mine is the type where the inner pot can be put over stove to bring to boiling point first, for impatient and forgetful mommy like me! If you're going to buy another slow cooker, buy this kind of inner pot... faster

But if don't put over stove to heat up, then it takes forever to bring to boiling point by itself, that's why I'm choosing to borrow a small rice cooker which will boil faster then put in Thermos to continue cooking.

Yeah, I also don't dare to feed Soph even just porridge in Malaysia! The meats that I'm going to feed her are probably going to be hotel food.

Check with you - is Penang tap water safe for consumption once boiled?

 

[mummy_zeen]

Jas,

got into danger i'd mislooked..
furthermore, with a migraine, dun think i can even think well!

 

[catz]

gak, glad that Adriel's so much better. Phlegm very hard to clear leh.. my boy still phlegmy also. Does random pukes most days My mom itchy handed today.. went to cover Beth's wound with gauze.. end up the gauze stuck to the wound and tore off the scab.. so it's very disgusting and yellow/red today again

Sighhhhhhh... 'cos today I brought Timo for playdate with his kindy buddies (and my morning chitchat buddies/spree kakis) so I left Beth with my parents.

Prob ordering Old Navy again.. anyone?
