missylan,
erh, no leh...
so far, feeding bb wif babylife's acidophilous supplement (powder form) as opposed to PD's ruebefene (or something & it is in liquid form).
fellow mummies,
am letting my ger take nestle's rice cereal with milk. my bb sitter said she found it quite sweet (she tried some to test temperature while i didnt cos it didnt look appealing. so bad hor. :s). am wondering if there r other brands which is better than nestle's. pls advise. thks in adv.

NAN2
i started bb w NAN2 yesterday. she seem to prefer it than similac. personally i find NAN2 smell alot better. have not taste it yet thou cos she always finsih her feed and ask for more! (this rarely happens when using similac stage 1 and 2)
now seriously considering switching her to NAN2...
but hor, the nutrionist from similac called me just now and siad NAN2 contains palm oil which is bad for bb, NAN2 is sweet (perhaps that's why bb prefer NAN?)similac is mother's choice for d past 5 years, NAN is no where close to similac blah blah blah...
my ear v soft one. now cant decide again
got both smilac and NAN samples.
can switch from one brand to another and switch and switch....
mummies pls advise esp those using NAN and similac

Do you need 1 box urgently? Coz I bought erm, a few boxes hehs...and I'm still at the 1st box. hahahaha. If you need urgently, I can let you have 1 box.
Otherwise, miorei, for more details on where to get HT, check out niang jia every now and then...

ivy,
my girl so far ok, no constipation.
her poo was watery wen on TBF.
I mix the cereals wif BM too .. now her stools looks like mustard.
And last week we fed her HT carrot puree, her poo oso ok .. jux dat the first 2 days can c traces of carrot in her poo wich my HB reads as "her body not digesting and absorbing the carrots". But aft dat, poo is back to watery stools, so i interprete as "her body taking in carrot well" ..

i have tasted HT brown rice cereal.
very nice eh.
the Bellamy rice cereal is more bland.
my boy seems to like the different kinds of rice and barley.
so every day i will switch cereal lor.
like today's lunch is HT brown rice with pumpkin.
later dinner will be HT barley with carrot.
tomorrow's lunch will be Bellamy's rice with pumpkin.
dinner will be HT barley with carrot.
once a day i will always give him barley cereal cos i find it helps in indigestion.
i oso bought Earth Best rice cereal...nice lei.

I have a contact selling Nan.
12 tins in a carton (must get whole carton), Nan 2 at $284.90. Think its free delivery.
I haven't ordered from her yet as I'm still mixing stage 1 & 2.
Think she'll give us more discounts if we order in bulk? haha. Or come in as 'guarantee' customers.

missylan,
k I'll remember that
Ankh,
I started training my boy using the 'cry it out' method in March.. Think took us 1 month for him to be able to settle himself to sleep by a bit of crying.. Then along the way, changes our method coz we don't really like him to cry to sleep...
We stick to the same routine for night sleeping.
1)Bathe/wipe him
2) change into PJ
3) Switch on Air-con & Music. Off lights, switch on dim lights.. (while carrying him around the room)
4) Talk to him and slowly show him his cot
5) Lay him down on his cot, look at hime and smile and kiss his tummy..
Now add one more step, pin his hands and legs down so he doesn't get to move them about and can't get to sleep..
I must agree sleep training is very tough. My boy got confused at one stage when my mother and mother-in-law kept carrying him to sleep. Now my MIL really follows my method so things are better.
Guess the key word is consistency and be very calm if baby cries...
Anyway, my boy got this toy which he likes and I place it near him. At times I'll use it to calm him down if he refuses to sleep.
For naps, I'll just pin his hands and legs down..
If I don't, he'll end up tucking at his shirt, suck his t-shirt, suck his toes etc etc and won't sleep
k I'll remember that

Keki,
Hmm, your hubby said that har... oh dear, must agree on using same method if not bb might get confused leh...
I thought you did well the first time by not picking her up immediately.. but got to monitor the duration of crying lor... I feel it is not good to let a baby wail for long period (I did it before and hated myself for it).
Got to be consistent in your approach to train her again.. can't keep changing lest bb gets confused...

most mummies here make it themselves.
my pd gives me 1 similac and 2 NAN but didnt give me any cereals lei...

Keki,
Yeap, who else but teachers got to wake up so early? Haha
.. How's your girl's nap today? Just now I told my MIL to pretend I'm not home so she has to take care of my boy all by herself
At least now I'm more assured she can look after him well
Keki & Krist,
Next week I start work officially... Goodness, gonna be harder coz looking at my schedule, I won't be able to leave school before 5pm
Somemore gotta lug back work..
Miorei,
Yeap, I kept thinking of my boy just now.. For the past months, first thing I did every morning was to breastfeed my boy.. Kinda miss that too.. But I know he's in good hands (my mum in law) and I have to get away though I have the option to be SAHM for a few years...
