gingerleaf and ecookie thanks for the consolation. it definitely dropped outside because i took them off before my facial and when i wanted to put them back on i discovered one side was gone. went back to the spa and they helped me look but cannot find...think i'll just go to LH and see if can find a replacement. dunno if they sell just one side tho.
btw any mummies interested in infant CPR/first aid course? saw this mummy organise one on 10 March, $60 for full day course...sounds quite ok. the company's website states that venue can be decided by us. http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/976106/1276886.html?1204533864
maybe can organise one for oct mummies. those of us with maids who can understand english can also participate...

eccokie,
if he is drinking fine, then no nid to introduce, but its really up to you. But starting solids really requires some commitment, so have to pick out a fixed timing and feed daily to let baby have an idea, but of coz starting out, juz feed for fun on and off is more ideal IMO.
It is really fun to feed, make sure you get hb to stand by the camera!
I think have to discard within a mth from opening. The box shld have instructions. Im not sure abt heinz, coz I already threw away my box. =p

tip for mummies who haven't bought cereal yet: try asking your PD for samples. my PD gave me quite a few sachets last visit. have been using that for the time being, instead of opening a big pack. since bb dun eat very much in the beginning, those sample sachets quite useful. won't have to end up throwing away if don't finish.

Perlicia,
It'd be more ideal to steam to retain nutrients.
What I do is, I peel n cut them into small pieces then I put into the steamer, then puree.
One of the mummy here, put it in a bowl then put in the rice cooker to cook together with rice, then mashed.
Books suggested to steam or bake then peel off the skin(retains even more nutrients), which I find it not very practical(to me la!), coz too much handling and transfer done to the sweet potato already.

Hi,
I steam sweet potatoes. I dun believe in boiling as it will lose most of the nutrients. The 'super baby food' book mentioned that we can baked too.. but i didnt do that.
Usually when we eat sweet potatoes, we steam also mah.. so shouldnt be a problem.
Hopefull, he has time in US to shop shop for me.. haha
Today sun bright bright.. at last can wash and 'tan' for brown rice in preparation to grind.. yeah

zhen zhen + irene: my PD gave me nestle samples too but i heard that nestle is too sweet and its written on the packets that from 6 mths onwards, so not too keen to start on it 1st.
wanted to get healthy times brown rice cereal but hubby was commenting do we need to get organic stuff for baby..and also not sure if its okie for babies under 6 mths (anyone knows?)
so bought heinz rice cereal in the end since its from 4 mths onwards

ecookie,
u are right that nestle is abit sweet.. last time i also gave my boy heinz cereal which is tasteless to us. But for baby have sharp taste bud and can appreciate the natural flavour of foods. But one thing they wont be able to finish and will have to discard after 1 month. I intent to buy organic single grain cereal when Jerric turns 6 mths.

frostyfiona,eccokie,
My 1st boy last time also on organic cereal since baby. Even now he still likes eating them. Dun think will get accustom to it or get tummy upset cause the cereal generally taste quite bland unless u add fruits or vegetables in it to make it more tasty.

ecookie,
I just buy the orgainic brown rice, wash and 'tanned' them. Will bring to a yao cai shop to get it grind. They will add 'si sheng' into it for us. I believe in chinese herb more than western med la...
But im not sure about how long i can keep it.. i tink as long as in air tight container.. should be ok la..
cheers

I'm ok with HarbourFront, if hb not free to drive us there, at least I still have the MRT to go straight there so shld be okie.
Do you think we can sign up for trial together?
Jumperoo
Guess what! Saw the $199 on newspaper today and we decided to get it! Went shopping the whole day so no time to fix it up yet!! Saw the Zapp selling at $299 ..so much cheaper then what I paid previously. HB saw the ball thingy from FisherPrice and we bought that too. Now, he want to buy the turtle. Lucky can't find it at Isetan. ha ha

hi hi,
Hope this is not too late, the $199 from Isetan. I think they shld have it till the end of their sale. Actually most of the toys are at 15% - 20% discount as well. They gonna have the bumbo seat on promo, I think just now I saw Taka selling at $60 plus also. But my girl too chubby liao, the seat like squeezing her legs .. so end up we bought the Safety 1st one, I think more durable as can seat till a lot older.
