bluelily.

for sweet potato, i suggest to use a strainer after u puree. At first i never use a strainer then my ger like get choke when i feed her the sweet potato puree. I realise they have those stringy thingy inside...
 
csi,

i oso start planning my ger 1st bday.. haha siao hor.. already know what theme i want and the cake supplier liao wahaha

beng ma

i think the puree can last longer than 1 week according to the super baby food book. But then i feel its better not to keep so long... like not fresh liao haha. can do it every sat or sun for a week supply...
 
kim, both me n hb dun like the idea of freezing food. Prefer to give it fresh. I dun really like the Super Baby Food mtd.. maybe I not used to the idea ba. Still think eat fresh better (Anyway my mum's doing most of the feeding tsk tsk. I only weekends no prob at all.haha!)

crystal u so fast give ur gal sweet potato liao ah. Ok.. gotta buy strainer then. U use blender or just mash urself? I tot just scrape off shdn't have those stringy things. I asked my mum to let bb try banana today.. she scrape off using spoon. But my naughty boy dun really like. haha!
 
bluelily,
no la, not celebrating.. just hotel stay la. afterall shawn probably won't understand wat's going on oso...just found out my another fren most likely having her wdg on 6ec @ rasa sentosa too! hefty weekend man....
 
beng-ma
wat r u starting on the puree? i heard abt japanese potatoes. supposedly tasty n nutritous to baby wor... i wonder how it looks like?
 
hi keki, my girl is 5mths 1wk 3days old today...during my last visit to PD, he adviced me to give rice cereal for first week, if bb can swallow the food, the following week can try some fruits puree or potato puree...PD said dun be anxious to try different type of food...stick to 1 week 1 type...

so what i did was 1 wk brown rice then 2nd week wanted to start carrot puree, but she didnt like..so back to rice cereal, and this week is 3rd week, so i start fruit puree lor...i used heinz type today...this sat i will try apple puree, homemade type and see if she likes it...

Drinking water may harm babies
May 22, 2008 10:33 AM

Babies younger than six months old should never be given water to drink, physicians at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore remind parents.

Consuming too much water can put babies at risk of a potentially life-threatening condition known as water intoxication.

"Even when they're very tiny, they have an intact thirst reflex or a drive to drink," Dr Jennifer Anders, a paediatric emergency physician at the centre, said.

"When they have that thirst and they want to drink, the fluid they need to drink more of is their breast milk or formula."

Because babies' kidneys aren't yet mature, giving them too much water causes their bodies to release sodium along with excess water, Anders said. Losing sodium can affect brain activity, so early symptoms of water intoxication can include irritability, drowsiness and other mental changes. Other symptoms include low body temperature (generally 97 degrees or less), puffiness or swelling in the face, and seizures.

"It's a sneaky kind of a condition," Anders said. Early symptoms are subtle, so seizures may be the first symptom a parent notices. But if a child gets prompt medical attention, the seizures will probably not have lasting consequences, she added.

Water as a beverage should be completely off limits to babies six months old and younger, Anders and her colleagues say. Parents should also avoid using over-diluted formula, or paediatric drinks containing electrolytes.

Anders said it may be appropriate in some cases to give older infants a small amount of water; for example to help with constipation or in very hot weather, but parents should always check with their paediatrician before doing so, and should only give the baby an ounce or two of water at a time.

If a parent thinks their child may have water intoxication, or if an infant as a seizure, they should seek medical attention immediately, she advised.

hmm.. maybe i will try to make some food on thurs. which is the EASIEST food to start with???? at least i can use my baby cubes.... otherwise will be white elephant.
 
Beng ma,
Eh I made a mistake, the book I have is "Feed your child right" also from same publisher

regarding meet up for motherhood show, how many of you are bringing your baby along?
 
Babycafe
Do u mummies still meet up? I can join you girls next week cos not working liao hehe... please let me know if its still on ok?
happy.gif


And wat abt our mummy and baby yoga huh... anyone joining?
 
bluelily,

i already given her sweet potatoes and carrots ler... now is green peas. wonder she will like it anot haha. the sweet potato i use a blender to puree it 1st... actually the idea of freezing is good if you are doing it in bulk. Actually should be ok lah... cos i think when abt 9 months or so, dun need puree ler (correct me if i'm wrong). you can puree it for ur mum to feed loh. Its quite troublesome to puree food a little at a time and most old people won't do it... like for my mil case, my nephew taken care by her since 4months old. last time i never see her feeding all these food.. only porriage, fish when he is younger. Thats it.

happi,
i feel that sweet potato and carrots are the easiest to start with keke.

jeelomeelo,

jap sweetpotato: i think the skin is red in colour.

beng ma,

i'm oso using the first food book. haha easier to digest.
 
hen,
can....hahaha...

I only started with apples. This weekend planning to do sweet potato. I cut the apples into quarters, remove the core and stem etc... then steam the apples for about 10 to 15 min. After that, scrape out the apple flesh (i.e. separate apple and skin), and put the flesh in the blender (I'm using the U-Like blender). During steaming, there will be some juice / water collected in the plate (the plate that I put the apples on to steam...). So I'll add the water / juice from there, into the blender with the apple flesh...and BLEND! hahaha. Turn on blender lorh. Blend until I think it's smooth enough. Then scoop some to feed baby. The rest, store in baby cubes. haha.

As for the skin...hb and I ate the apple skin.

Dunno how it will be like for sweet potatoes. But I plan to do the same lah. Steam first, scrape out, blend.

Re the news on water...Thanks Jamie for posting the article here. I copied and paste into my email and sent it to hb. Told him to forward to MIL. Coz....I will never forget. The day my gal was born, my PIL wanted to give her water already. She was only a few hours old then!! heehee...I'm evil...hahaha
 
beng ma, crystalz,
I use first foods book and Gina Ford's book on weaning. Have the super baby food book too, but never really follow that lah. hehs...
 
jeelo, oh u not celebrating shawn's 1st bday ah. I'm thinking of keeping it simple too. Though I wld like a chalet.. hb say troublesome.

haha pretty, u so funny. See BP just buy ah.. cham liao.

crystal, my mum say just chop chop all the food to tiny pieces n put in slow cooker to cook porridge. Sounds alright for me. :p Fruits can just scrape off loh. I havent try b4 lah.. so dunno how that will work out.

CSI_Fan, scrape liao still need to blend ah? Scrape alone not smooth enough?

Regarding drinking water
My bb dun like to drink. But now since started cereals, cannot dun drink leh. Else he'll have constipation. I just feed water whenever I have the chance to leh. Anyway, coming to 6mths le.
 
bluelily,

after blending, it will become like smoothie like that. I find that easier for baby to eat. Scrape horh...maybe I bad at scraping. hahaha. But sekali scrape a bigger than acceptable piece, then how? coz scrapped pieces may not be soft soft still. blend, definitely soft. coz all totally mashed up thoroughly. heehee...

Re water: aiyah, they also never say how much is too much lorh. I dun think 1 drop will result in all that the article mentioned. There must be some threshold level...
 
Steff, mine was regular after i stopped BF.. ie, after first month...

anyone got any comment is it safe for my kiddo to sit in pram like this? tot of buying cos it is lighter and easier to carry on bus...


1449177.jpg


This kind... more a sittng position rather and lying.. wondering if it will affect the bb not.. since our bb gng 6mths alreadi.. safe to use?
 
belle

for me, it came after 3 mths for my #1 as well.

this umbrella kind of stroller is safe. in fact my bro used it for his 'big sized' boy when he was abt 4 mths......cos its more cooling than the usual kind of bulky stroller
 
wah lau!!
I wanna complain! hahaha...

just back at my desk from a milking session.

While at the room I usually pump, was pumping halfway, let down reflex just came...then suddenly....electric supply got cut off!!!!!

Very strange. Got lights etc. Just that electric sockets all got no power. So frustrating! The power came back on. So pump started from beginning again. Lucky thing mine is PIS, so I can just press the button for the let down suction (skip the stimulation suction bit). But then, in a short while again, power got cut again! faintz.....
 
my sis got the net kind.. got holes kind... more comfortable.. tt day i used my sis's one.. he is quite comfortable in tt.. easier to push too...

jus afraid will hurt his back
 
cookiemz,
yes e pic of baby was in scn..

arvin's 5mths today. Yeah! hv not strtd him on solids yet. waiting till 6mths.. coz aniwaez corrected age wld be 4 then.. tks for e info on e brown rice n purees.
 
anyone got any dealing with JPB Maid? Any refund done before?

They are just ridiculous... trying to delay this n that... and refused to do a refund for me... My hubby super mad...
