kam, at least u make an effort to cook.
sometimes eating too much of outside food, will make u appreciate more when u cook, isnt it?
ernmum, mine was 37th weeks, really hope for a Jan bb, coz yr end children tend to lose out to their peers when in school, s in considering the youngest in the class..

Q2: My child is born on 2 Jan 2003 or in the month of Jan 2003, can he / she be registered for admission to P1 in 2009?
A2: No. The Ministry adheres strictly to the policy of admitting children to P1 when they are 6 or 6+ as on 1st Jan of the year of admission.

Luca, at least urs sleep up to an 1hr... mine rarely and he sometimes naps 20mins in 1 nap.
Yvonne, definitely welcome the extra pair of hands. And my boy needs awhile to go to sleep too, and my hubby is better at that.

dunno how come i double post?? i only clicked the refresh button.... ignore the previous post.
Luca, i let my boy play by himself a few times in a day, but that only works for approx 15mins. Then I let him watch Your Baby Can read, also lasts for about 15mins, the rest of the time I spend playing with him. Takes a lot of motivation.
I find that if I bring him out, it is much easier as there are more distractions. So i bring him out almost everyday or every 2nd day.

seems like alot of babies are sick too. Baby Javier is down with running nose and slight fever. My hubby caught the cold virus too. whenever bb sneezes, the pacifier flies out from his mouth and we all laugh including the bb. hee hee.
take care mummies and babies.

shooting star,
u mean u bring him out everyday alone?
I always wonder how some mummies can bring their kids out singlehandedly, i mean wat if need to go to the toilet, bring the child along too?
Thou i agree that bringin them out is much easier than at home s time passes by faster.
my boy doesnt like watching tv, he's those active type, rather crawl than sit..

IRON
Been going through the "First Food" book last night and read of the nutrient baby needs. Baby needs, well, everything, carbo, protein, fats, vitamines, and minerals.
I only focus on the minerals here. The key minerals baby needs at this stage are IRON, CALCIUM, ZINC, and IODINE.
FM (reference: Enfapro) contains calcium, zinc, and iodine, but NO iron (think there are iron-fortified FM in the market?)
Breastmilk should contains almost all the minerals, but would still need extra iron.
Rice cereal (reference: Nestle plain and brown rice) contains iron, iodine, and calcium (if mix cereal with milk), but NO ZINC.
For your information, below are the food with the highest iron content (reference: "First Food" book):
Iron-fortified rice cereal - 0.1mg per 1 teaspoon (tsp)
Spanish puree - 1.1mg per 1 tsp
Green pea puree - 0.3mg per 1 tsp
Avocado puree - 0.27 mg per 1 tsp
Honeydew or rock melon puree - 0.2mg per 1 tsp
Chicken puree - 0.2mg per 1 tsp
Carrot + potato puree - 0.13mg per 1 tsp
Fish + spanish porridge - 0.8mg per 1/2 cup
The rest of the vege/fruit has <0.1mg iron per 1 tsp, but high in other minerals/vitamines. So should give a variety of vege/fruit and meat, also egg and tofu.
And I just read you should avoid giving iron supplement if not absolutely necessary as it may cause some side effects. Best to get everything baby needs from natural food.
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Iron
Infants 7-12 months - 11mg per day.

hi, anyone meeting up with Mylife today? I don't have her address yet, think she got no time to PM me.
Can someone please PM to me? Thanks a lot.
eRnMum, my girl learnt to swipe the our hands away when we feed her, but strangely I gave her banana yesterday she likes it, but same thing, ate 3 teaspoon then she tore her bib. This ,morning my mum ask me if I planning to cook porridge today, I was like let me think about it, its so tiring to prepare and then waste.
kitsune, pm you already on the address. Those going mylife's place, I may not be able to make it in time if my sis decides to choose her flat at HDB, the block she wants only left 2 units, and her appointment is at 415. Else see ya tomo at globetrotters.
luca, I also bring my girl out alone, initially it can be quite daunting, need to plan routes and what to bring and imagine in my mind if the place I am going has got lifts and ramps or not. So I totally dont dare to go from wisma unless its necessary, but after a times of trying with my hubbie that stretch I also got use to it. As long as there are no stairs its fine. I always tell myself, thickskin be thickskin, baby cry,I just talk to her and try and calm her, if I walk into a shop and she starts crawling, I will just walk out again. Just sometimes when I push the stroller, I will accidently hit things on the shelf when I walk through, but bo bian lo. I find sometimes when I bring her out, time passes faster and she enjoys it as well.

Re: Bringing bb out alone
I've done that a couple of times but usually have to go to places I'm familiar with so I know where the lifts are and how to avoid the stairs. I find that my boy is usually very guai when I bring him out alone and he will sit in his stroller throughout the trip, won't protest at all. Probably he knows mummy doesn't an extra pair to hands to help so he better co-operate

luca, no no, I dont dare to go up and down the escalator too. Only lift up and down, can be quite troublesome but I dont dare to attempt the escalators. If really wanna be quick, like what pixiepixel does, I will sling and walk, faster, but then when I do this way, got to buy less stuff, else shoulders and arms can break.
Yoplait baby yoghurt, mine is also pack of 4, u mean got 6 packs and smaller? I dont mind getting those instead, my girl always waste, only take half a pack each time. I saw another brand at jason's before, its 6 packs, but the flavours sounds more yummy, i think peach and 2 other flavours, but it never states from how old, just from weaning, so I dont dare to buy.

eRnMum,
The one I got same like yours. pack of 4, 2x banana and 2x vanilla. I didn't see the pack of 6 one leh.
Luca,
DO NOT use escalator if your baby is sitting in the stroller. It's very dangerous esp if 1) you are alone; 2) you are not strong enough to lift up the stroller. Sometime the stroller may get stuck and you have to lift it up immediately or you and baby fall, also it's quite steep, so you need to be strong enough to lift up the stroller. Always use lift. But you go out with another adult, then may be okay, but still be careful.

i've done that many times.. practise makes perfect & builds confidence. same as bfg in public (?!)
When #1 was a baby, not many MRT stations hv lifts equipped. It was either the stairs or escalator.
so far no one has stopped me yet, altho i see signs that pushchairs must be folded before boarding escalator.
and so far i haven't seen any reports of accidents happening with babies in prams on escalators. I guess those mums/ dads must be real "zhai"...
