dodo,
Avent milk bottle also not cheap. Why don't you try getting the evenflo glass bottles ? Quite cheap at about $3+ each. Then use the nuk teats / bottle cap.
This mean, pump on medela
1) Transfer to evenflo bottle with bottle cap.
2) When want to feed, ust fix in the nuk teats and use.

dodo,
I'd got my evenflo from amazon. Saw kiddy palace selling them here too (but didn't check the price). Caelen threw from play pen onto the floor and it didn't crack at all.
If you already have the avent, then don't waste can continue to use lor. Have you tried whether the teats for your new nuks bottle be fix on Avent since both also wide neck ?

chintz,
I forgot how much I paid for the shuttle chef. Was abit kiasu, bot it when lyn just started out on purees. =p I got it from bps!
Hapi fifi,
I cook 5 scoops(friso) of jap rice and used 300ml of water, plus broccoli, young corn, minced beef and pumpkin. It cme out very sticky and thick, like a gooey paste and lyn loves it. Woohoo! I never back up la. Never thot abt it.
Thanks for the tips!
Dodo,
I used via cups. But have to change after a while coz on the box it says must change after ard 7 uses. Plus u need to sterilise b4 use. Milk bag is cheaper I think. Unless u dun mind and use the cups all the way w/o changing.

Hi mummies,
wow, so many posts to follow !
well, well, all these talks on bf and milk bottles, hahaha...just like wat we discussed when we were pregnant
dodo,
do keep an eye on zq when you grounded him on his highchair. My hubby's cousin's son (same age as our toddler), just fell from his highchair last week and big bruises right under his eyes. Lucky thing is he didn't hurt his eyeball. It was a close shave. This fella was trying to climb out of the highchair when mummy wasn't looking.
Btw, jav also declared his food war these few days. He didn't eat his lunch and dinner!! Sama sama !! Is it a phase that they have to go through at this stage?

karrie,
i've thrown away the glass bottles after i stopped breastfeeding & i lent my bottle caps to a friend so i can't lend to you.
re: glass bottles
the glass bottles i collected from the nursery were the empty used ones (which they would throw away anyway)...the nurses not so nice give so many bottles with milk! haha
mm,
wah both your gals are preemies? how many weeks premature are both of them? is chloe more premature than her sister? i very scared if i have a 2nd one & he/she even more premature than aidan, who's already born at week 34. i can't imagine if any more earlier than that. it was quite a traumatic experience, esp the milk feeding & jaundice parts!
i let aidan try on the sack n seat at home but he was very determined to get out of it! haha anyway, i will still lug it to HK & see how i can make him sit in it! it's really very compact & light.

dodo & sanbebe,
seems like zq & jav are behaving like aidan! but i doubt they will break aidan's record. my boy hasn't been eating any proper breakfast, lunch & dinner for 2 weeks! this has sort of evolved into a routine cycle every 2 months! in fact, he hardly eats anything & drinks very little milk. super headache. but i'm trying my best to take it easy since he's still as active & poos well.
I'm trying to attain the level of "zen-ness" whereby I won't be affected by whether he eats or drinks or sleeps. Haha but it is very very difficult to reach this level!
Just want to share with you gals these extracts I read:
“When a happy, active toddler suddenly develops picky eating habits, it’s more likely to be a sign of self-assertion than a sign of sickness. Since rebellion at the dining table is a normal accompaniment of toddlerhood, don’t try to fight it. Chances are you won’t beat it anyway. Instead, give up without a fight and let freedom of choice ring for your little rebel which eventually may decrease his need to rebel.”
“Toddlers are notoriously fussy eaters. In fact, most children go through a phase of refusing to eat one food or another. Though it may be a headache for you, refusing foods is actually an important part of growing up because it is one of the first ways your little one can begin to assert their independence. Picky eating may have less to do with the actual food than his need to push the limits of your authority and to assert some control over his life. This is why pressuring a child to eat often backfires.”
“If it seems like your toddler is always trying to get out of meals, rest assured, when they are hungry, they will eat! Some toddlers graze all day, which makes them less hungry at meal times, others don’t want to take time away from playing. The most important thing to remember is to relax. If you have real concerns or they are losing weight, then of course it is important to speak to their physician, but usually, your toddler is just being a toddler. It’s extremely important not to turn mealtime into the most dreaded time of the day. When that happens, there are no winners.”

Dodo,
relax, is a passing phrase only. Dun wory... dun be angry w him, he can sense yr frustration and unhappiness, he will be affected. If he is hungry, he wil want t eat. Sometime as adult we also dun feel like eating without any reason.
re, g;ass bottle,
I change all brigbottle to glass bottle too, i order from mum fairy, can use for all standard teat. They have silcone protector if you are worried if they will break it. So far brig is ok, when ever he finished his milk, he will stand up and hold on to the bottle till i 'save him'
Brig,
think h really asthamic, i called the PD, he told me to put him on his inhalr, just one day, he no longer coughing...

hapififi, orh i see...it's ok then, i think i'll ask the hospital for the used glass bottles then, and then buy the caps off some mummy here.
i feel like changing to glass bottles also. over long run, think will save money on having the keep changing the plastic ones rite, even the BPA free ones also dunno whether 100% safe not.
dodo, how is zq doing? eating more? think like hapififi says, he's just asserting himself...take it easy and dun stress urself out ok?
oh yah i was having contractions throughout friday nite n sat morning. was supposed to attend my school's sports day but decided to monitor the contractions instead....luckily subsided by evening...heng ah im not ready for bb to come out yet, coz daddy got a gout attack so he's practically an invalid now. can u imagine a heavily preggy lady in the throes of labour n an almost-crippled man hobbling on a walking stick hurrying to MAH...gonna be a funny sight i tell ya.
