atinarin, ..u vvv brave. pray pray for u. be strong hor..we all here for u.
re porridge: the 'new rice'- i bought from those grocery shop that sells these rice by weight. has been using this rice as my mum and sis said the porridge will be more 'gluey' and taste nicer. i tried myself, indeed true. only need 1 teaspoon of rice grain, place into the slow cooker (the mini ones). I have a aerogas 'zi sah guo', got it free when buying canned abalone cubes during CNY and it's doing a great job with the cooking. till date, i only give nynke plain porridge. since she is sick, i will add new stuff for her when she's well.
corrine, for the beco, we were at vancouver washington then. USA vv big, so it's actually quite difficult to bump into anyone using such carrier..even pouch sling also dun really see pple using there. i believe my hubby saw it when we were at seattle actually as now that i recalled back, we did see a mummy carrying a pretty big boy on her back and another mummy, think her sister, carrying a baby with another. beco is the IN thing here leh...buy lah..hehe..ask Ginger..she 'endorses' it liao ..
