What kind of fish?
Am thinking of Cod fish but if just steam with ginger, no taste one right?
Wanted to do the ikan bilis powder for her, heard it's good on calcium but how long should we soak it in water to remove the salt? Then still have to sun, can oven dry or not??

bbwow,
Sorry I din answer your question regarding sleeping any sooner.
Like what doobom has mentioned, it's most likely due to over-simulation or over-tiredness. These are 2 of the reasons that cause baby not sleeping well and waking up in the night.
Normally if Jav is tired, I'll just let him sleep but I control the timing. Btw, are you following any routine or do you create a routine for J? I think routine is good for both you and J. Babies like routine. They don't like surprises. They like to know what happens next. So they feel good and more secure with a routine.
Currently I'm following Gina Ford's routine and I find Jav behaves and sleeps better after following the routine.

totoro,
the porridge pack is for 8months and above.the ingredients are similar to what i cook for Sean lei..
regarding instructions, i can only try to recall as I left the packets in the car...we just have to boil the water, then add a sachet into boiling water.stir for few minutes, then ready to serve..
i tasted their sample there too...not so salty i feel, so should be ok if dun eat for long period of time...only got 2 packets, enough for the trip lo..cannot buy too much, else i will be lazy n not cook fresh food for sean heehee..

Gingerleaf,
Hope Lyn gets well soon. Do stop the steriod as soon as possible. By the way, the steriod is to relief the itch.
http://www.skincarephysicians.com/eczemanet/steroids.html
I guess Lyn's case of eczema is simlar to Caelen (due heat). Personally I use the california baby's calming bath to bath him 2x a day. Apply the Calming Botanical moisturier after each bath. Then should I see any dry patch (even before it become red) I would apply the calendula cream.
I would say that after doing these, Caelen completely clear of his Eczema and it had never come back to itch him for more than half a year. Last time when I use the PD's steriod, the only relieve a short while then come back again when I stop the medication.

totoro_bb,
I'd only tried Ikan Bilis powder. Dare not try fish yet. Caelen also like the Garber Star (so does my dogs ... they wait eagerly beneath his highchair and hope that he would drop a few for them ... hahahah..).
I agree with BBwow, normally will put on the table of the high chair for Caelen to try to pick it up himself. Sigh ,,, he only know how to grab but dunno how to put into his mouth. So I end up taking it from him and put in his mouth.

Thanks to everyone who's been sharing abt their experiences with California Baby.
I have been using their products since she was born and yes, I agree they are good. juz to share that I am still using them now. Just that run out of the showergel.
Calendula doesnt works for me, sadly.

CM,
Glad that Carlson is better now. Do remind maid to give more water to Carlson.

re: BBs in aircon
I realise that Jerry's skin (knee & elbow area) tend to be dry in early morning, due to sleeping in aircon. Hence, maybe BBs who sleep in aircon, can try to have some BB night lotion to keep skin moisturized. If possible, a cup/bowl of water in the room helps too. =)

He using Nepia for night only..morning he's using PetPet.
Yup, the promo is $15 per pk with 4 pcs free.. but the free delivery I heard you will have to call up the office to order direct. Cos' I think the delivery does not come with the 4 pcs promo.
I find Nepia quite good for nite use. He was still using M until now but recently by morn already leak sometimes. so I bought L size for him just now.. Hope L size fits better.

Yes, the 4pcs free is only @ the fair. Think they are having promo for home delivery of $14/pk with 4pks min. purchase.
So Nepia is gd? Heard quite gd feedback abt it. Has been considering it for nite use. Jerry has been using L size for quite some time. He was on Pampers Baby Dry, but I tot of trying out other brands.
Daytime, no diapers. Using cotton nappies. =)

Oh I see.. I din enquire abt the free delivery part. I let him use only Nepia and Mamy Poko for night cos'seems like can tahan longer hours as compared to Drypers, Petpet..
Think quite a few mummies also using Nepia. Totoro & gingerleaf? maybe others can provide some comments too..
