hey, any mummies tried cooking porridge for baby?
I was thinking, if I want to cook porridge, shd I grind the rice first then cook? or cook porridge first then mash up the porridge?
If grind first, need to wash the rice grains right? Then how to grind when wet? Just leave thr grains out to dry first?
Just wondering lah...

Thanks mommies for all ur advise. I think i better bring him to my house downstair GP before going to the PD for vaccinatn.
My boy's 1st jab was a nightmare to me. He had flu shortly after the jab then developed into bronchitis. Was on nebulizer for at least a week. I almost cried each time got to force him to smell the "smoke". Sigh... heartpain...
Krist, agree with you. Feeding of medicine is an headache. The doc gave a white syrup for opening of airway and a green color one for phelgm. My boy hate the green one most, even after i dilute it a bit with water.
I also can log-on only when free to "eat snake" at work=)

Keki,
Like your gal, my boy used to be able to sleep on his own.. but recently, guess he doesn't like to see me leaving his cot side.. so I got to stay with him, hold him hands firmly and rest them on his bed.. then sing to him.. got to reassure him again and again then he will fall asleep.. I also hope he can sleep on his own again... But I guess it may be a phase.

u just need to hold his hands and sing? that v good lor. i need to carry her and rock her to sleep! all my fault. after her jab when she was fifth mth, i started carrying and rocking her to sleep. keep telling myself it will be the last time but i think it become worst. she pick up screaming abt 2 wks ago and now she will scream till voice hoarse. then i heart soft, give in to her again.
but already tell my hubby that will start training her to sleep on her own tonight again. i think my nightmare starting!!

phy

phy, my gal has been on cereal for 3 weeks liaoz. so planning ahead...hehs. wondering what to do for porridge lorh. Pple tell me can grind the rice into powder form, store and then cook when needed. But I'm wondering how to grind lorh...coz need to wash the rice? Like when we cook our adult rice, we also wash mah...then wash liaoz, how to dry? coz can only grind when dry right?....hmmm...
Keki,
just put my boy down for his nap.. Well, I 'pin' his hands and legs down so that he won't get to move them about and start to play.. then after a while, he gets bored and will drift off into slumberland... At times when he starts screaming, I'll have to pick him up, walk around the house, then head back to his cot.. Won't put him down immediately, will pat pat him while showing him his cot.. then after a while, put him down and 'pin' his hands and legs again..
Ya, not easy to 'train' baby to sleep.. I went through tough time too
Fought with my boy many times.. He screamed and sceamed till I broke down and cried as well
Hope your gal will be able to sleep on her own again soon
In fact, hope today is the day!!
Yeap, gonna miss him deep deep
Anyway, agreement with hubby is I'll try to see if I can work and look after bb at night.. If not, then ask for part time position next year... worse senario is no pay leave again
My MIL is going to look after my boy.. She'll come over on Sunday night and go home on Friday when either my hubby or I return from work
Really thankful for her help. Been 'training' her how to go about looking after my boy these few weeks..
CSI,
Hey, ask you hor, how to go about heating fruit puree that has been stored in baby cubes? I don't have a microwave, only food warmer..
My MIL said to cook porridge for baby, don't have to grind lah, just cook with low heat (slow cooker) until super soggy then can liao
Oh ya, are you still using goons diapers on your girl?

Keki,
Haha, I still have 5 kg to shed
Didn't restrict my diet that much coz breastfeeding so don't wish to go on diet
But of coz wish I can squeeze into my pretty clothes again lor.. now limited pieces to wear..
Maybe your gal wants to be reassured? At this stage babies will have separation anxiety too.. so gotta calm baby down when he/she starts screaming...

csi,
i just finished reading First Foods and Feed Your Child Right.
The dietitians and nutritionists said its better to grind the rice grains before making the porridge for 6 to 7 months.
8 months onwards don't need so that babies can experience different textures.
Grinding also makes the porridge cook faster.
Oh, btw there was a research finding that slow cooking porridge will result in lesser nutrients compared to normal cooking.
HTH

I also boh microwave. haha. Also only have the food warmer. Sometimes I just put the cube (from fridge - I thaw it in fridge compartment overnight) into the bottle/food warmer. Dun put too much water lah. and just turn on at lowest heat for a short while only. Other times, I just put the cube in a bowl with hot water (from airpot) for a while.
Then I scoop out and put into my gal's bowl. I use those bowl that can put hot water below to warm it. Think it's called a warming bowl (?). I bought the Tollyjoy brand, has 2 sections. Like that, the base of the top layer will be heated up, and I scoop the puree out of the baby cubes, into that bowl. Then sort of spread it out around the bowl to "catch" the heat. It heats up quite well, and stays warm for quite a while too... Coz now I feed cereal and puree, but I dun mix them together. So the warming dish with compartments is good (for me)...all on 1 dish. :
)
Keki,
I have started my gal on carrots, sweet potato and apple purees. Haven't tried pears yet though...coz never buy. hahaha.
er, my plan for the porridge...is also the same lorh. add carrot puree or sweet potato puree...hehs...
lynzi,
thanks!
That's what I read too...and I actually went and bought organic brown rice already, preparing to grind. Then it suddenly hit me...need to wash rice grains? THen how to grind? hahahahaha. Lucky thing I haven't open the packet of brown rice yet. hehs...

its not about what is lost but there is lesser percentage of the same nutrients when compared to cooking it over the stove normally.
The findings stated that normal cooking had 24% more protein, 134% more beta-carotene, 100% more vitamin B2 and 22% more vitamin B3.

miorei,
You showed your vitamins to yr PD? Best to get some assurance...
lynzi,
You patronise which spa? Good? I am trying out few spas... think got to wash the raw grains then dry it, after that then can grain.
Constance,
I read about the Sambulcol... think not only your kiddos are taking them, alot of ppl are taking it. I dunno leh, I didn't try cos already got many supplements and vitamins like that liao. #1 is having the Nordic Natural fish oil, Childlife Essential 1st defense, Childlife Vit C/mineral and Childlife Essential Colostrum+Probiotics(scary right?). #2 is having colostrum+probiotics only.
eve,
Wa... very fast! Mine only from sitting position to crawling position yet still cannot crawl.
CSI,
Last month, I bought a grinded organic brown rice from Carrefour. The grains are roasted and grinded to a very fine texture. Just simply add water to the powder. Think best to try brown rice cos more nutritious, if constipation then no choice, give white rice. You also can try mixing brown and white grains, whether can help with the constipation.

think i'm 1~2 kg off my pre-preg weight. but my rationale is this - b4 getting pregnant i was consciously putting on weight cos wanted to make sure i got enuff fats. then i got too fat & preggers!
phy,
how long did it take to train your baby to sleep by himself? I tried put in/put out, but end up with screaming baby and aching body.

regarding teething biscuits, better to buy healthy times brand. they have vanilla and maple flavour. i've checked the other brands and they all contain salt or sugar lei... fyi, sucrose is also sugar which some of the teething biscuits of other brands such as Heinz, Wang Wang lists as one of their ingredients.
