starfruit: u were asking about somen? i let seth try liao! he loves it. http://www.hakubaku.com/content/view/53/76/ it contains whole wheat,salt and water. salt 2%. mine is organic. and yes, tastes like mee sua!! very yummy! easy to cook too! first time i cooked, i jus add into soup stock with minced meat,carrots and spinach. abit giam in my opinion. 2% is still rather salty to me, thou hb says it's ok leh.. n hb is the yim chim (super particular abt bb food) one. but seth loved it n slurped it all in! second time i cooked the noodles and rinsed thru liao before adding my pureed food cubes,like pasta. super bland! he din finish it. third try i used hot water to rinse the somen first (they soften in the water without boiling), then faster pour away the water, and add to the soup with mince again. this time round jus right! hee... so i suggest, rinse abit first instead of boil, cos i find it removes all the taste... will let him try soba next, it has buckwheat, and according to the web, it's very high in protein! http://www.hakubaku.com/content/view/52/74/

re: oats!
for mummies who have problem with porridge, may consider this. i tried organic baby oats (star: same brand as the barley u've got!) on seth. add to fm, they are soft and 'grainy'(it's not grains, but dunno how to describe liao! chewable la!) not watery... apparently, seth likes it! i added salmon n vegies and he ate happily! the milk oso helps to conceal fishy taste too!
 
hope: i use mashed veggie lo..those i add to his porridge. usually i cook and freeze them. can be steamed tofu with french beans/spinach/broccoli and potatoes/carrots/pumpkin. anything i prepared for the week i jus give. i give him oats for lunch and porridge for dinner for variety. before this, i used to give multigrains or lunch. but i found them too smooth and wanted to add some texture to it..so tried oats.
 
Joelle,

I use to prepare the veg in advance and freeze it too but everyone (in my family) hate this ideas esp now my girl keep diarrhea so I am being ban liao! Ok, I will try oats or brownrice with steam veg like carrot or pumpkin with fish.
 
halo mummies,
saw that there's a xmas party going on. So sad I can't join. Always busy at shop on weekends & public holidays.

Enjoy yourselves!!

Came in to vent my frustration about my maid. The bad thing about phil maid, they are always so "gei kiang". My boy's quite cranky these 2 days, refused to take naps and kept shouting. Then I just overheard her telling my boy "Tomorrow you cannot eat yoghurt. Yesterday and today you ate, then you don't want to sleep."
HUH???!!! What is she talking about? I just can't bother to explain too much to her. She always have her own funny ideas when they can't sleep, cry or don't eat. Now I don't know to pray for him to stop being cranky tomorrow & she'll think that she's right. Or pray that he'll continue to be cranky so that she knows that she's being silly!!
 
hope/irin:
ha! i was gonna reply hope when i see irin's post...related i think. people always think when babies get sick or cranky, that it is the food that we have been feeding. i also get upset when people tell me my frozen food is no good. it's like i've been giving for months liao... now 4 months later then u say it's causing the diarrhea, then it's silly lo! freezing doesn't spoil the food! it reduces some nutrients i agree, but it definitely beats dumping a few items into 1 big pot! No offence to mummies who do that. I've seen my nephew's granny putting pumkin and meat into porridge and feeding only some of the mashed pumpkin and porridge. no meat! according to them, the nutrients are all in liao! kaoz! these are the people who rejects my 'lost-nutrient frozen meals'!! meals which i took hours to prepare! complete meals with carbo, proteins, and vitamins! i wanna bite their heads off man!!

take astro for example, when teng was down with stomach flu, we were dicussing the foods she gave and condemning salmon! then the next day the rest of the family fell ill! so wat? if it's water contamination!? (my case many years back when whole family down too!) whole family dun drink water forever la! i think if we stop doing it, we are only telling them they are right and we don't know our stuff!

and unless we r very free and love to cook in small quantities and waste excess, i really see no benefit in cooking up a storm in every meal. how to get variety in this way?
 
hope: dun gif up la! i actually pride myself in the variety seth gets to eat daily! and the best part is, when i am bringing him out, all i have to do is to cook the porridge (sometimes if go out early, i don't even do that! i jus give him instant oats or multi grains!) and add in my prepared veggie n meat cubes! and bring the fruits in my snack jar! and viola! a complete meal!!! those who condemn my frozen food can oni stare in awe..wohahaha... n their children dun eat meals on weekends cos 'no time' to cook! see?!

oh and btw... the baby oats i was referring to, they are actually instant oats!! jus add in hot water! fast and simple! it's from http://www.organic-paradise.com.sg/

pink: btw... i have ordered from photobook malaysia before. http://www.photobook.com.my/V3/ plus courier to my house, it's about S$65 a book of 20x20. i had alot of pics inside! about 120 i think! if i had printed them out it would have cost much more! plus album price and the work of fitting in! photobook malaysia has a software we can load and do our photo layouts before emailing over and they will print and send back..prompt and fast! quality wise, not too bad for such price.. definitely value for money! they have a new branch in singapore if i m not wrong. but still think the malaysia prices are better! check out the overseas spree in smh, they have a christmas promo going on. =)

Pink,
most likely i will be there for christmas party but i don't dare to promise first.. just in case my teeth still hurts.. today I m feeling much better liao.. but mouth and gum still sore.. and hor, i have to go to a friend's full-month celebration after that.. dunno can tahan or not.
 
autumn: :p dun refer to u la... haa.. i'm bitter over my nephew's grandparents rejecting my ai xin food and giving him lousy food. :p wat i do is heat up the cubes in microwave and mix with the hot porridge.. then put in thermos to bring out. for oats, i mix in the thermos first.. add hot water/milk, then add in the heated food cubes n bring out. when they r bigger, then seperate the food from the porridge lo. for fruits, i will put them frozen in the snack jar..and by the mealtime, they will have melted. if very near mealtime liao, i will thaw them a little before putting in the jar. otherwise i'll add some hot water to the fruits and feed seth the fruits cum 'juice'.
 
Wow, it is amazing. I wonder whether it is the way she suck or something wrong with the teats or bottles. This morning she managed to invert the nipple after she finish drinking her milk. Just now, the vacuum she created is so great that the moment she let go of the teat, the teat get sucked into the bottom of the bottle!
 
Pax!!!!!!!!!!!!! heehee.. very sorry.. hmm.. me always in a rush lei.. coz teng only has half an hour left to play at the playgym.. i can't talk too long .. every second countsso i rushed into the play area ASAP.. sorry lei.. heehee.. so.. how u find teng, maomao.. and me? ??? hahaha..

I must pester u and star non-stop to push me to continue bf.. wah.. so slim?!!!.. haiz.. and i got a shock when i saw u..literally. .coz i thought i saw my best friend sitting at gymboree!!! .. coz u look just like her!!!1 mannerisms, looks and even size!!! and with ur 'putting me in place in the forum'. just like the way she does. alamak.. TWIN!! *faint* heehee..

happy.gif


thanks for the book! J

ehh.. also.. I went back with my mum and small uncle.. bumped into him there.. then passed through the KPE. And I yaya to them that I know the project engineer in charge of the KPE.. then my small uncle was like.. since when u so steady know someone so li hai???.. haha.. then my mum was like just now that GIRL ah?? She so steady ah?? She look so young!!! Like ur good fren!!.. told her u have two kids liao.. then she was like still so slim and young looking??hahaa

(pssst... u want to know why i in a rush again??? ask yvonne.. *Winks at yvonne*... whahahhah!!!)

bbgirl!!!!!!!!!!!! ha.. missed u too.. shit-e! :p.. i must say.. ur maid impressed me.. she speaks well.. very fluent.. and very pleasant looking.. and she could handle anna so well! Can even change annas diaper in the gym itself!!! wow.. impressed.. i wish my future maid is as steady as her..i wanted to ask her to come work for me !!! haha.. heee.. i asked her for her agency.. she replied me something. but i didn't really catch it.. which agency is she from??

AND.. heehee.. sooner or later.. i am going to kidnap anna.. heehee. pity my partner in crime not here frequently liao. else anna's my next target liao!! she's so friendly!! wave to her, she waves back.. smiles at her, she smiles back.. and i even carried her and 'mayored' her around the gym!!! haha. either she has not developed stranger anxiety .. or she likes me a lot.. hahaha!!! Ehh.. hmmm.. could I just ask.. what colour were u in today?? Wanted to see if the lady I saw.. was u.. heehee..
 
Astro: Hi!! Missed you and Yvonne. My errand took longer than expected. I would love to meet u in person. Was telling Pax I'll come back in time to meet both of you!
happy.gif
Was wearing a grey/beige/ dress. Was it me you saw?

Before we went to the gym, we went for Anna's studio pics. She wasn't smiley there at all. The photographer had a hard time trying to get her smile. Then my maid also told me you took lots of pics together isit? Can send to my email at [email protected] for me pls??? Pretty pls...
happy.gif
 
Astro,
woah.. sounds like u had an exciting day! yeah, i was testing the forum cos down since I asked Joelle a question and she answered me..
 
Astro: Her stranger anxiety comes and goes. DEpending on her mood. She's used to "strangers" carrying her as long as she is able to still spot one of us about. See, we bring her to church and she's had her fair share of different aunties and uncles carrying her.

She wasn't even afraid of the photographer! Who's a man with moustache
 
Joelle: After reading your post, I can a question. Is it better to steam and freeze the whole carrot in small cubes or to cut a portion of the carrot to steam for 1 meal and keep the remaining in the fridge to use next time?

Nutrients will be lost in both cases right? But which is preferred?
 
Autum: I went to the same one Michelle went to. Forgot the name liao. Just took the number and arranged with the guy and went down lor..

We didn't arrange to meet. I bumped into Pax while we were there and she told me she's meeting Astro and Yvonne there. It's such a coincidence. I wouldn't have recognised Pax if I hadn't collected my tuppers frm her just last week! I don't think she could recognise me..
happy.gif
 
BBGirl,
oic.. hey, I also arranged for the same photog that Michelle went to.. hmm, seems that he can't get babies to smile??
 
bbgirl: that's the prob.. i think they both lose nutrients. i find keeping them in the fridge dries them up rather fast. but i kia su... i steam and freeze with other vegs... then will cut some carrots/pumpkin/broccoli and let them drip dry before keeping in a tupperware to use daily in my brown rice porridge. haa..so seth gets to eat both kinds! =p for me, the problem lies in keeping everything raw in the fridge or keeping the cooked food. if it's only carrots, it's easy. but i've got meat (which cannot be kept long! even if i freeze it, i m fearful to use it after a few days!), veggies, fruits and all sorts. so freezing cooked stuff appears the right choice. and mainly cos i dun own the whole fridge...still got alot of other stuff inside for the big family!
 
Autum: You know what? Maybe it's becos of his moustache. He's a friendly person but appearance wise, may not be so to babies. But in the end we got some good pics lah.. So not so bad..
happy.gif

Am quite happy with the package, cos he gave me a whole disc of all the good pics he took. I thot like the Studio Loft Bloom package, I'll get to keep only the ones I select or something like that.. So I think this one is very worth it. Go on weekdays cos then he'll have more time..
happy.gif


How's your toothache? Erm... I mean, the ache without the tooth.. **grining widely**
 
Joelle: Yah lor.. We keep her fresh produce in tupperware. Even for pears, daddy says to let the maid finish the other half of the pear cos don't want to keep it til the evening.. He wants her to have fresh food every single meal.
Hey, for meat, you want to use minced pork? This way don't have to cook too much.. And can freeze the rest.
 
bbgirl,
its benjamin
happy.gif
yup, we ended with 200+ pix of Keira, all the photos of K ! wahahaha....
that's Y i think more u hua, coz during my wedding pix, husb juz went crazy, ordered and ordered ..

sad.gif


autum,
ya, go on a wkdays much better ! u feelin beta liao har ? gd lah! ahahaha.. i also want to say tooth, but then realised technically no tooth
happy.gif
 
pinkpink

really ah, also miao tiao. Today I put her on the scale, she's put on some weight, now around 8.7kg. I think the constant feeding and more patience paid off. I used to give up after 10mins maybe that's why she didn't eat so much. Now I give her morning a bowl of cereal with freshly grated apple (only 2 slices). Lunch, 3/4 bowl of potato with carrots and apple or pear and dinner either cereal with banana or same as lunch. Plus a small portion of fruit or jogurt for snacks and in between, 3-4 feedings of bm. I think Kira won't be fei tu tu one, even deep fry in oil also no use, I just have to feed her more often loh!

Carol

I agree, bf easier when travelling and safer too, no need to worry abt water standards and so on. That's why I try to continue until we go to singapore in Jan. Although singapore very clean!

Hey Hope, QQ, Mummies

We booked our flights liao! Coming back on the 19th, staying till the 9th of Feb.

Anyone want to meet up...pls pls! Any nice kids place or not? Kira very sua ku one, no gymboree here!
