tongtong,
Actually no need to use stock, porridge can also tasty. Usually I will add 1-2 piece of lean meat (pork or chicken) or fish plus one vege (butternut squash, sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot etc) and double-boil for 1 hr plus and it's done. Fish can be mashed up and added to porridge but I will eat the meat lor unless you have time to blend it and add it in.

Okay lah, I admit, sometime I naughty also. I also let Hao Re has a bit of taste of something, like whipped potato, and let him lick on the ice cream.
Ha, the 2 faces of me, one side says have to follow strictly, another side wants to be naughty

errr...actually a lot of people think soya sauce is the lesser of two evil as compared to salt...but do u all know soya safe contains MORE salt in it than salt itself? I know cos my uncle owns a soya sauce factory in msia so last time during holidays, I used to go and visit them. Therefore people who use soya sauce instead of salt for seasoning thinking they're choosing a "heathier" option doesn't realize that they're choosing a worse option. Just for your info lah

mylife,
thanks for the info. Yes, I know soy sauce is equally (or more?) salty. But my point is don't put any salt or any other seasoning in the soup or dishes. Then, whoever (those prefers a stronger taste) needs more seasoning, can use soy sauce to "supplement" the taste. Me and my hubby more often don't need soy sauce, but some of my family members like can't live without soy sauce!

Baby waking up in the middle of the night
Have been 2 nights, baby Hao Re woke up at 3.30pm (exactly the time for both days!), not for feeding, but he was like telling me - I can't sleep anymore, I want to wake up. He looked at me and smiled to me. But I have to be hard-hearted, so I carried him to minimize his activity, closed my eyes, and didn't smile/talk/play with him. He entertained himself. First night, he only went back to sleep after 45min. Last night better, only took 20min then go back to sleep. Really don't know why (over-stimulation cos spent almost full day at zoo on Sunday?), he has been sleeping pretty well for the past 2 weeks, and now all of a sudden, waking up again. But I am still okay, though almost drained at the end of the day :-( See what will happen tonight.

Same here. Jayden also woke up at 3am for the past few nite. And is not milk time either. I really "Gong" ah cos' if he didn't sleep, i can't sleep too. He kept doing baby talking & sing his "baba" songs...wow...his "concert" lasted for 1hr+... u lucky only 20 & 45min...
Sad to share, my boy also kana fever last evening. Think due to teething, plus over the weekend i still gave him teething biscuit, multigrain cereal which are all very heaty stuff. Going to confiscate these stuff liao.
Any babies teething & got fever also? Really exhausted last nite, i woke up every few hrly to monitor his temp. This morning fever subsided & pray hard fever dun come again! Today really no mood to work..very Zzzz
<font color="0077aa">Steph</font>
Zander is cute & so smart to close his eyes to protect himself..heehee... I also bot the same floral Fox pant for Jayden leh ; )
<font color="0077aa">mylife</font>
How's Rylee now? Fever Subsided?If fever is high then try the hard boil egg method, it will reduce the body heatiness. My fnd told me that if u look at the egg carefully after rubbing, you can find something like "standing hair" all over the egg.. very scary, machiam the toxic is absorbed by the egg.

i also tried the nestle before...usually i will add egg and vege in to make it even more nutritous. And yes, it does smell nice.
Kam, my boy is rather big size. But he dun eat solid.....
Guess what i brought the two boys to watch thomas and friends and he paid full attention to the show till 15 mins before the show end...he dozed off. Quite amazing cos usually their attention span is super short.

tong tong, paracetamol no side effect la...unless he is allergy to it. Paracetamol is like panadol. Just dun take in exceeding the suggested dosage should be fine

tongtong, hmm, think up to you. But no harm giving paracetamol.
Just like sometimes, when we dun feel well, we also just pop panadol right?
my GP usually says that after injection, if we are worried that they will get fever, just give paracetamol in advance. Pretty harmless medicine i guess.

Weaning Advice - Top Tips
1) Sucking is a natural reflex, but swallowing solids is something babies need to learn. When a baby sucks, she pushes her tongue forward, so it’s normal for food to be spat out.
2) The muscles used to chew are the same muscles used for speech, so chewing small lumps will help with your baby’s speech development.
3) In the first week of weaning, give babies solids at lunchtime, as in the morning they may be too hungry and in the evening too tired.
4) It’s a good idea to give a little milk before introducing solids so that your baby’s not frantically hungry.
5) Cows’ milk contains very little iron or vitamins C and D and shouldn’t be given as your baby’s main drink in the first year. From 6 months you can use it in cooking or in your baby’s cereal.
6) One in 5 babies aged 10-12 months has a daily intake of iron and essential fatty acids below the desired level. Include red meat and oily fish, such as salmon, in your baby’s diet.
7) Honey shouldn’t be given to babies under 12 months, as in very rare cases it can cause infant botulism.
8) Eggs can be given from 6 months but must be thoroughly cooked until both the white and yolk are solid.
9) No salt should be added to food for babies under 12 months – their kidneys are too immature to cope.
10) Do not refreeze meals that have previously been frozen. The exception is raw frozen food, which can be returned to the freezer once cooked,for example, cooked frozen peas.

eRnMum,
Have you tried on changing feeding environment, like put on music, bring him to playground and feed him? Or try changing the utensil, like change to soft tip spoon or colourful utensil? You just need to introduce the iron-fortified cereal, and you don't have to worry about the iron intake.
Also read that baby after 6 months should change to follow-on FM, as follow-on has more iron and calcium. Suppose you have change that?

Wendyg,
My son doesn't like to watch tv. We don't ban tv at anytime, but he is not interested in the tv at all. He continues to play, play, play, like the tv doesn't exist. Good for me, so I can watch tv and play with him at the same time
But I always put him at his high chair in the dinning room for his meal time. No exeption, so that knows play is play, eat is eat.
