Hi all,
I managed to find a similar ice cube tray for the puree at the provision shop near my school. $2.50 only!! No need to travel to Isetan!!
Re: Puree
My gal has taken carrot, apple, pumpkin, banana and brocolli till date. I have concluded that brocolli puree tastes HORRIBLE(i tasted it myself) although my gal prefers it over pumpkin. Apple puree is her favourite!!
Re: Preparation of puree
Can we peel off the skin of sweet potatoes, apples and pears when we steam them? I have been peeling them off b4 i steam. Will there be a lot of nutrient lost?

Hi Pooh Wei,
After the steam, the fruits will become soft.. I don't think we can still peel them... Not sure, maybe you can try..

Hi Emily,
Yeah!! And we have given her teething biscuit!! She loves her teething biscuit!! Got "deep marks" on the biscuit somemore..cos she has teeth already.
Re: Sitting Down
While she got teeth already, she still cannot sit unassisted!! She refuses to sit down! Even in her exersaucer, she will stand in there for 30 min...How? How to train my gal to sit?

Dear mummies,
My boy is only 6.9kg and 64cm at 5 mths 1 week at the 45 percentile. So worried cos he only put on 100g and 1cm since last chkup 1 mth ago. Is it normal?
For those feeding cereal,
1) Do you replace 1 meal time with only cereal cos my boy will refuse to drink the remaining BM after taking cereal. That was instructions by PD to feed cereal on top of normal milk intake but doesnt seem like he can drink more.
2) If we use FM to mix with cereal, isnt it wasted if we make like 180ml, use 40ml to make cereal and then baby refuse the rest of the FM and need to throw remaining FM cos can't keep for more than 1 hr ya?
Pls advise...

Hi Miraclecraz,
My girl is only 6.3kg and 63.5cm at 5mths. Her PD actually commented that she's growing well. So no worries.

Miraclecraz: Actually loads of working mums have their kids in Playnest. They get a helper/grandmother to bring the kids. In fact, I'd say more than half of the kids there have working mums. There are quite a few helpers in my bb's class - they can all sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Mandarin, put me to shame really!

Hi ecookie,
Yes, it is unopened! Which part of Redhill are u staying at?? I stay opp the train station. Is $20 ok for u? PM me?
Re: Puree
I just made 2 batches of puree: Apples and Carrots. Think must use more ingrediants liaoz cos only managed to make 6 cubes of apples and 4 cubes of carrots with the new ice cubes. Wanted to make sweet potatoes (the purple type) but my mum actually gives her fresh ones when they eat porridge. Apparently, my mum has given her some porridge too. So my gal is like a rubbish bin now. She took porridge, brocolli with cereals, apples and sweet potatoes today.
Re: Juice
If i make fresh fruit juice, must i dilute with water?

Hi Miraclecraz,
I feed Jade her milk first then followed by cereal/puree too. Will warm up 150ml of milk, then she usually will drink only 90-120ml, then the rest of the milk i will use it to mix in the cereal/puree. Must watch the time and throw away the milk if its more than 1 hour. In any case, I always limit feeding to 1 hour coz if it takes that long then I believe she's not hungry.
This is what I got from my book - hope it helps you.
During the first stage of weaning, we must ensure they don't reduce milk intake too fast coz that means baby is not getting enough nutrients as all the nutrients they need is in the milk. At 5-6 months, their total milk intake for the day should be a minimum of 600ml, including any milk that's used to mix the cereal/puree. If your baby is cutting back too much on milk and is not meeting the minimum, then try to reduce the solids first. Then slowly increase again once baby is taking enough milk.
Then second stage of weaning between 6-9 months, solids must gradually be introduced and increased at meal times with the ultimate goal that they're eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. Coz milk no longer can provide their daily nutritional needs of carbo, protein, fibre, vitamins,etc. So their daily feeds are something like this - Eg. Breakfast will be milk + cereal with mashed fruit, Lunch will be porridge with meat/fish/vege with a drink of water/juice from a cup, milk at tea time at 3pm, porridge and water/juice again for dinner at 6pm, then last milk feed before bedtime at 8-9pm or whenever their bedtime is. If baby is milk addict and refuse solids at meal times, then must try to cut down on milk. The minimum requirement for milk is still 600ml up to 9 months.
During the third stage from 9-12 months, we start to introduce bite size foods, meat, vege and fruits are chopped or diced rather than mashed, rice and noodles instead of porridge. Milk intake should be reduced, maximum 600ml a day. By one year, milk intake will be reduced to minimum of 350ml.

rxsti and angel,thanks for the tips! Today managed to feed bb that ONE teaspoon of cereal, haha! Realize he swallows beta in the stroller compared to walker.
I also has a Braun handheld blender, hooray! Dun have to invest $$. But have been using to blend cooking stuff, forgot the function of other accessories. Must go to malls to refresh the instructions.
Looking for food steamer. Any brand to recommend?

Re weight,
Jade was 8kg at 4 months and 8.5kg at 5 months. PD say she's past 97 percentile. Now almost 6 months I think close to 9kg liao! That's the median weight for 1 year olds *faint*
Peapod,
I vote for 1!
Hi Poohwei,
Haha my girl hated broccoli too! The book say broccoli taste very strong and some babies don't like, so when feeding must slowly mix with something they like like sweet potato, or pumkin puree to entice them to take..then slowly add more and more broccoli.
Re juice, unless your baby is constipated, its better to dilute juice with water, otherwise they develop a sweet tooth and won't take well to things that are not sweet like water.

Hi Babydoll,
Your baby is ok...healthy weight range!! Breastmilk is definetely nutritious past 6 months, in fact its recommended to breastfeed for as long as up to 2 years. But after 6 months all babies iron stores will start to be depleted and iron is essential for growth and development, and milk no longer keeps them full, so need to start taking other foods besides milk.
Re getting baby used to the bottle, try to give him expressed breastmilk from the bottle when he's hungry, he may be more hardworking then. Or if he's too hungry and flustered, he may not want to try something new, so try giving him your breast first for just a while, then halfway through feed him by the bottle. It may help if someone else is feeding him too. Coz if he smells you and see you, he knows you're there and he will want you. Try to get your mother or MIL or hubby to feed him and then make yourself disappear. Essential thing is to keep trying and offering it to him everyday, and he will get it eventually. Good luck!

Angel, Jordan was 8.3 kg at 5 months and PD said he's only at 75th percentile leh ... thought he should belong to at least 90th percentile ... haha.
