hey hey...
i'm still reading the threads.. been sooo busy lately... hopefully will have more free time after the 1 YO birthday party tomorrow!
chergamine,
how can ppl have such comments! just ignore this type of ppl.. i wonder what our society had became. haiz.. even the government seemed to encourage people to give birth and dump to childcare centre (increasing childcare subsidy and FTWM's tax rebates, totally ignoring SAHMs)

I travelled with my daughter on and off. I usually feed her whatever food that i can get from the place. As they have supermarkets that sell baby food that we are very familiar with. I dont usually buy instant packet food as might need hot water and stuff. Usually i ll get those jar food that is easily carried around and feed.

i'm keen
re : traveling
yup DH has been bugging me for a holiday but i am not confident to handle Brandon in a foreign land especially when he is still waking up in the night.
wee / gretel, you may want to consider giving your darlings a taste of the baby jar food prior to your trip to see if they would reject or not.
Also, Tiger has this food jar that can cook porridge. You just pour BOILING HOT WATER to the rice and meat (not large chunk though, mince should be ok) and veggies and i think it will cook in an hour. But do not expect mashy porridge, it is more like soft rice, but i think if you soak the rice beforehand it should be softer. Thought is would be good if you are in a hurry and the porridge can cook on the road trip.
Alternatively the small magic cooker (Thermos / Endo) is great except must boil the ingredients first.

would the cafe have enough baby chairs ?
mummies, i am looking for a pair of sandals for DS as he has started walking, any recommendation ?
I saw a cleaning agent and spray in the baby department label with "organic" and non toxic etc, but i dont remember the brand, wondering if anyone is using it ? we are using normal detergent now, and mil tends to use a lot of it so i am worried as DS loves to kiss the floor.

chergamine, do wear a mask before you get well just in case especially when your DS just got jab hope you get well enough for the meet up ...
... hee i thought all babies kiss floors ! he is doing it less now that he is walking but he would be playing more on the floor so i am also concern.
the 1st sandals, are they meant for walking ? like no soles leh ... a PD told me to let DS wear heavier shoes so that the footing is more balance to avoid the weight being only on one leg. saw some baby clarks, maybe will check out over the weekend.
hope the weather turns sunny next week for our meet up.

mami: actually it's still better to get a flexible pair of shoes for your son, doesnt have to be those soft sole leathers but perhaps the new range they have come out with like robeez tredz, pediped flex, etc. Alot of baby shoes on the market come with the hard inflexible sole which is not good for their developing feet.
You can read some info at the robeez site, http://robeez.com/en-us/why_robeez_baby_shoes.htm?PriceCat=2&Lang=EN-US

mami35,
jaeden is wearing clarks sandals and he is happy with it.
Its made of leather soles and light enough for him to cruise with. PD advised u to let him wear heavier shoes? I tried to let jaeden wear a pair of adidas, it was too heavy and he stood rooted to the ground with that pair of shoes..

fyi, isetan baby fair, trade in old bottles to buy NUBY 300ml BPA free bottle for 8.90 plus a free teat, (usual is 11.90)
vally, yes i have to bend following DS around, very very tiring ..
coolmama, no worries, DS was taking baby steps for quite a while and suddenly one day he started to walk ... so just give your DD time and lots of oppt to try and give her something to hold while trying to walk it is to give her balance, my friend's DS walked only at 15 months and her DD at 14 months so different child different time,

jang, clarks no size for DS so we bought bubblemgummers ... the PD meant not to wear those foam type of sandals cos too light thus the footing will not be stable and no good for foot development. DS got a pair of shoes for BD but he could not walk in it cos he kept tripping over, but he is ok with the sandals so we will keep the shoes till he is more stable.

Hi Vally,
Can I check with you, how long do u intend to breastfeed your daughter?
Hi Mummies,
I have a question to ask. When our baby reach 12 months old, is it that we need to substitute with Formula Milk or can we still fully breastfeed our babies?

hi piggydamien,
BREAST MILK IS BEST! for mummy and bb!!!
of cos you can continue TBF your bb past 1 yo. but after 6 mths, milk alone (breast milk or formula milk or cow/ goat milk) does not provide enough nutrients for the growing bb so tat's where SOLIDS come in.
but where milk is concern, nothing is best compared to mummy's own
dun listen to old wives' tales that mummies' milk pale in comparison to factory produced products k!
all baseless claims.
if my ss is enough, i would love to tbf my bb for as long as i can.

hi gretel,
thanks. Cos my mum and aunty have been telling me that I need to mix breastmilk with Formula milk because my breastmilk is too thin and is not enough nutritients when baby is above 6 months old. But I refused to listen to them and continue to fully breastfeed my baby who is coming to 10 months old now. I am just worried that when my baby turn 1 year old soon, they will come and nag and nag and nag at me.

welcome piggydamien,serena,forestfen,tub,cin
halo gretel...how hv u been?
piggydamien,
yes..yes..MUMMYS MILK IS E BEST
It will keep changing for our baby's needs.
Say,when our body is 'heaty' or warm...it will be more watery
And as baby grows,e nutrients content will keep changing to accomodate our baby.dats it..simple..
Im still tbf and ds goin 18mths soon..how time flies.
Fyi,for weight gain issue....dun worry..when my ds started on solid,he didnt put on a lot at the initial stage.but after which..as he's use to solids now..he's gaining steadily!!
Weight gain on FM fed babies n Bf babies arent e same...ok..ok..
My kaypo(kekke) aunties kept comparing,how 'big' their grandchildren are...but their milestones are way behind ds...*wink*
i simply said..."MImilk doin its job!"
Hope this helps to boost your confidence ok..cia yo
