Hi Everyone!
Looks like the thread is rather quiet these few days. I've been busy catching up with work at work and all the unpacking at home, so not much time to come on-line...
rc_cola: Jete introduced me to the Pigeon brand of baby foods. I think the porridge only sold in Taka, and comes in foil packs, which you dip into hot water to 2 to 3 minutes, open and serve. They have all sorts of interesting ingredients like Sea Bream and Cod fish with veggies and rice porridge. Great for a travelling, but really expensive. If Megan is a big eater, one foil pack won't be enough. You'll need at least 2 packs, which is essentially 1 box. Costs more than $8 per box.
Lilyn: I'm sure Yee Heng will be fine when you all travel in September. : ) As long as he's used to sitting in a car seat, has enough toys to keep him occupied and can suck on command when plane is ascending and descending, travelling will be a breeze.
TinyVoice: I think the important thing is that your baby has safe and sufficient space to crawl around in, and lots of toys to keep him stimulated. Keeping him in a playyard with toys may actually be better than letting him wander around the house, esp if you can't watch him every second. Babies tend to pop things into their mouths very quickly (James does...everytime I turn away for a second, he's eaten part of a page of a newspaper or magazine...I keep telling him that even if he wants to devour knowledge, this simply isn't the way to do it... :0), and my friend who used to work as a medical social worker in a hospital told me of many horror stories of babies who choked and died because they swollowed little things like coins or paper clips, or fell and drowned in the water feature at home...
miaon: I'm just as guilty...2 days after returning from my trip and I've already bought 2 things from the sprees...sigh! Guess I didn't shop enough for myself on the trip...worse still today I just received a message from Bee Lee saying that I've been granted access to shopping directly in the WTS and Overseas Sprees boards...so I don't know how I'm going to control myself from shopping till I drop
