star
actually jus stew carrots, potatoes with beef, can liao, right? just take a portion out for bb before adding seasoning?
 
Pax: wha i nvr read GF book but now Rae's scheudule almost 90% GF schedule leh, i just need to give her breakfast, she will almost be 100% GF liao..heheh.. good to know i am on track.
But hor rae's bedtime getting later lately. she now sleeps at 8:30pm sumtimes 9pm. Blame it on hubbby lor, cos he comes back late so Rae waits for him.

7:30am milk
8am bkf - No bkf but another milk feed at 10am
11:30 am lunch
3pm milk
5pm dinner
pm8 to 8:30(or before bed) milk
 
star
our bb start to cut down on overall sleep+nap times.. Jo also sleeps at 8+pm these days.. not her usual 730pm liao.. overall she sleeps abt 12-14hrs, dependin... maybe Rae has enuf nap, that's why she's cutting back her nightime sleep hours
 
astro. i know too much milk feed la.
but during weekends. i have modifications . i drop the 4pm feed, bring forward dinner to 5pm. . nanny insisted feeding that cause she said its too long she gets hungry.

pax. she wakes up at 6.30am or 7am cause we need to go out liao. weekends sometimes she overslept. 7.30am.
can skip 7am feed, then feed at 8am. then good.. how i wish. then i no need to feed. haha!
her nap time very GF.. 1 hour in the morning, 1.5-2 hours in the evening. total about 3 hours. or less.
 
mist
tell ur hubby to talk to ur mil lah.. give her a schedule.. no lunch? late breakfast tea? i also ran...
 
haha!!! Teng today cruised around the cot 16 times liao!! i am finding it funnier than happy. coz half the time.. it is my mum who dumps him inside.. coz easier to stand there and entice him to cruise then to carry and major him round the house! hahaha..

PAx: think the boy doesn know how to pull to stand xoz i try to teach him just now. hands can pull on cot. mum lift his butt up.. he doesn't exert any strength one.. hmmm..
 
astro see ah, nanny mother mil alsoo have the same problem unless our kids cooperate. right? tian dun drink well in the morning. important one, 1st feed.. so i said a bit jialat. her 2nd feed stronger otherwise she cannot nap well. we tried give breakfast, then she also demand milk. nanny said her tummy too bloated liao. i will bring my GF back home and study liao. i dun need her to be GF, but i will want her to be steady...
happy.gif
 
QQ
then Tian has enuf sleep+nap.. compromise lah.. 1pm +4pm milk = 2:30pm? dinner at 5pm lor.. bingo GF liao.. must tell nanny.. too much milk also no good.. not enuf nutrition.. milk dun have everything that Tian needs.. like that i think she'll buy the idea of cutting milk... ya, jus skip the 7am milk feed and give her at 8pm.. i think Tian's schedule a little modified for 8am to 8pm one.. so u can do this..
7am wake up
8am milk
9am bkf
12nn lunch
3pm milk
5-530pm dinner
8-9pm before bed milk
 
QQ: huh? u talking abt sceduhle or parenting style? schedule no prob. just clash of personalities in terms of parenting style.. we talking abt schedule here.. right?
 
Pax: hehe.. my adult beef stew very tasy cos i marinate the beef overnight (my secret marinate recipe) then i use oil and pan fry onion and garlic till sweet and soft before i add in my potatoes and carrots, i added mushroom and pumpkin as well.Aiya, I should have portion out some beef and let rae try beef these two days when my MIL not around. cos when she around, rae dun get to eat beef.
When can out bb take mushroom?
 
QQ/mist: what pax told u.. i told u before liao.. .. i am facing the same problem lah. just that mine is not scheudle. but dependency .. unless want to determine to change something.. (mist.. u can what).. else we will always be talking abt the same thing over and over again... my two cents worth. frank opinion.. dun be offended..
 
astro.. schedule la.
but schedule and parenting style also come together. nanny mil all scare bb gets hungry.. they feed milk before bb is hungry.

pax u are right. my nanny always think milk is very important. she said i gave tian too many things to eat. somehow a doctor told her that milk is important. he commented a baby can drink only milk till 1 year old. alamak, i wanna kick this Dr. still, she already compromise my schedule a bit. so i just need time to adjust and let her follow.
 
Mist: u draw up a schedule and give ur MIL to follow lor. If not everyone luan leh. Just make sure she follow to ur schedule can liao.. then u dun have to question and ask her for her schedule everyday.

Is she bz during lunch time? is that why she does not want to feed ur boy lunch at 11:30am?
 
astro.. i was so stress at one point and i drew a timetable for nanny to follow. then tian cried so badly according to her cause she cannot nap at all.. so... she balik back to her own timing. I've tried.. a few times until my hb asked me to relax. until one point tian refused milk, had irritated throat then we feed small amount, frequently to prevent her from dehydration. now its time to adjsut back. nanny adjusted till left 5 milk feed. let me adjsut till 3-4. haha!
 
QQ: yes they come together.. but schedule is easier to change than parenting style? no?.. i am kpoing again.. coz dun want tian to drink so much milk. end up.. after 1.. insists on milk. hooked on milk.. and reject solids. big problem..

mist: star suggested something good.. still have my email last time? just follow?
 
pax: So normal for her to push back her bed time..i was wondering how come now she can tong till so late then go to sleep.. tot she still wanna play and dun want to sleep. Good to hear that its normal.
 
QQ: when bbs sick. different. teng also mah. his gastric flu. i threw whole GF routine out of window.. close both eyes to amt and feeding frequency.. sleeping duration and such. in fact GF also says do that.. coz inhumane leh. bbs sick still stick to a stupid schedule for what?

def have to tweak back one.. but my opinion is that need to let nanny know abt too much milk = not good also.. else.. ur efforts.. (i see u keep trying).. all gone to waste everytime she change again..
 
astro. yalor. being a mum is always not easy.
if tian is a bb who likes milk and can drink at one go, then its excellent.. since young she has shallow stomach, then developed this kind of stupid habit. now slightly better cause her capacity improved a bit liao. last time during mil time, worst. u can ask pax. mil feed every 2 hours.. change pampers already every 1-2 hours... haha!!!! but still i miss that period when mil was around.
 
star: might want to cut back some of the day naps duration instead of letting rae sleep later.. coz when they cut back sleeping time again. sohuld cut the ones in the day.. and not going t bed later. else go to bed at 11pm?.. just my two cents worth..
 
hee hee. astro. nanny know liao. cause i change fm.. i kept telling nanny. this milk definitely not so good. then not enough nutrients.. so must eat lots of solid to bu3, to make up for it. since then can see some light liao.

old ppl also need to pian4.?? haha!
thanks!!! I'm quite suer that i can adjust my schedule.

QQ: hmmm. maybe u can call up with yvonne and get her to share with u.. how she changed bel all round to 8 - 8.. not easy she will tell u. .and bel cried relly hard too..
 
pax,
yeah, very messy right? i also very angry.. that's y i dun wanna understand why she feed at those funny timing liao. i just tell her, pls feed according to the timing. dun anyhow feed, like no schedule like that.... lunch is lunch, dinner is dinner.... arggh!!

until i cannot tahan, i will tell my hubby to please "beg" his mum to go according to schedule.... my ah boy sleeps at abt 8.30pm usually. yesterday, dun know what happen to him, only sleeps at 10pm.... sigh... i dun know what kind of nagging i hv to go thr if i adjust his dinner feed to 5pm... sigh... last round when i bring forward the feed to 6.30 dinner, she already like not happy liao, and make so much noise... aiyo, alot of things lah... damn pek cek loh...
 
star, for ur reading pleasure

"UN"COMMON VEGGIES:

Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms, Leeks and More

Most often we are asked about Onions, Mushrooms, Celery, Leeks and Peppers.

These veggies may be sauted and added to your child's food between 8-10 months old. We do not recommend offering your baby an onion, mushroom, celery or a pepper puree rather we recommend that you add these wonderful veggies to food dishes. Should you decide to offer your baby onions, mushrooms, celery and peppers, please ensure that they are fully cooked, soft, and appropriately sized so as not to pose any choking hazard!

It is most important to cook mushrooms for your baby's food. Mushrooms as we all know are fungi and cooking helps ensure their safety!

These veggies do not pose a high allergy risk however there may be certain digestive issues in a sensitive or delicate tummy. We think that these veggies are best served in soups, casseroles, noodle/rice dishes. Our babies loved sautee'd mushrooms with sauteed spinach! This would be for the older baby (10 months +) due mostly to the spinach!

ya.. either u cut back Rae's daytime naps or let her sleep a little later.. but u got to decide how much later lor.. for M, he still naps 2-3hrs in the day, sleeps at 10pm.. vv difficult for us to get my mom to cut down the daytime nap, bcos she got to take care of 2, plus cooking.. i live with it..
 
Mist: like that how? last time my suggestions wun go thru with her. now the suggestions are still the same leh.. hmmm

pax: haha. almost wanted to dig some mushroom-y info for star.. u did it liao..

star: i add mushrooms to lentils and casseroles.. oyster mushrooms add a very delicate and sweet taste to the dish.. very nice.. try button mushrooms first. the go for oyster. oyster mushroom must discrad the stems.. and just use the cap.. chop ver finely.. and boil first.. then i seive and wash.. coz fungi.. i scared dirty.. then dump and stimmer in lentils.. try it!! nice!!
 
haha.. now i want bbs to sleep longer. like last time. stupid me. lst time.. still want him to sleep lesser. now he drop late afternoon nap.. got to 'entertain' him.. haiz..
 
star,
aiyo, i gave her my schedule and write down the timing for her leh!!! then hor, i notice she feeds according to the timing, but hor those little snacks that she feed, she didn indicate!!! actually i also dun know, until i am on mc 2 weeks ago, then i realise she secretly didn follow schedule!!! and yesterday i forgot to write in my feed at 7.30, then i was running thr the food he eats today, then realise gto a 10.20 feed of bread and fruits...

see, mil can "secretly" do things w/o you knowing one... you can tell her lah, she will tell you, "oh, he's hungry leh!!!"

astro,
yeah, i still hv your email. I'm trying to introduce such schedule, think i need to be around for a week lah... else my mil huh, sure secretly do something which i dun know one. i hv to slowly intro lunch and remove that milk feed first. then slow move the dinner earlier slowly (from 6.30 to 6, then to 5.30, something like that lah)
 
Pax: whahahah.. onion puree?!!! yucks!!!!!! the article so funny.. last time yvonne and I was also joking abt this onion puree!!! hahah
 
QQ,
Sometimes if i want to change some bb habits like sleeping or eating i try on my side lst. If it success then i tell mil and it's easier to follow on from there.
Heehee, tired cooking porridge with chicken or pork stock for dylan he likes it better. Me lazy mummy find in more ma fan but what to do, my boy is picky. Lucky he can drink better now.
Hopefully have time to drop by your place tonight to collect my stuff. Did michelle pass you mine stuff?

i go feed my glutton. brb...
 


astro,
yeah, sometimes i'm too tired at work liao, have to "fight" w her on "disciplining" my boy not to suck thumb while having meals and many other things lah... actually hor, i am not happy w her taking care of my boy lah. she always complain not toys fo my boy to play, and she go and let him play "ru yi you" bottle, my vicks rub (that time i use for my flu). wah liao, i am very angry, you know... my boy got so many toys, who say he doesn't hv any... and of all things, let him play these things, what if there's some residue of medication on the bottle and he licks it (they like to put everything in their mouth right?) anyway, i'm mad loh.

then when she's at my place, my whole place is so messy loh, toys, papers, everything all over the floor. then when she cooks, kitchen also damn messy!!! i just dun like loh... too many things that i dun like... but for my boy, I "ren"....
