luca,
Pai seh, I never cooked porridge for my boy till now. Cos it's the infant care who gives my boy porridge. According to the teacher, when first introduce, the texture should be very smooth, like the cereal texture so baby can accept and swallow. If it's not smooth enough, they will blend it with blender so it's suitable for baby. Now, don't need to blend anymore, can give baby the not-so-smooth porridge already. As long as already turns soft then it's okay. Started can be a bit watery, later thicker.

Yeterday, my boy called me "ma ma"
. He has been calling "Maaaaaa" when he cries sometimes but yesterday was the first time he said mama and he was asking me to carry him when he said it. But he didn't repeat it when I asked me to. But anyway, we went to my mum's place later in the afternoon and I was playing mahjong...hehe...he was being carried by my aunt and was looking for me so he said mama...mama...mama...until he finally saw me at the mahjong table...haha.
But seems like he will only call me when he's looking for me. If I ask him to call me "mama", he will just laugh and smile at me?? Dunno whether is it coincidence or he really knows how to call "mama"...

Porridge...
I have been giving my son 2 meals of porridge daily for the past 2 to 3 weeks. Rice ceral + fruit puree is for breakfast. I put in ngor he fish + 1 to 2 kinds of veg (pumpkin, brocoli, chinese cabbage, carrot, yellow pepper or sweet potato). I have also tried salmon fish.
For the texture of the porridge, I will cook until still have broken pieces of grains, but soften already. I read in the japanese baby cookery book that by doing so, the baby can learn to bite. Of course the grains in the porridge are quite soft, not hard kind.
Btw, I told my mum repeatedly no seasoning of any kind. I told her if give salt, baby will have kidney problems. Sugar will have tooth decay. Of course she doesn't understand why am I so fussy, but once I explained to her, she understands better.
I intro minced chicken yesterday. So far, so good. =)

Hi mummies,
Been busy and haven't logged in for so long.
Any mummies going to the Isetan private sale this thu? I'm thinking of buying my son his first swimsuit at the Sale but dunno whether to buy the thermal suit (Liferacer) or the normal kind (watercolors) Any recommendations?
Is it better to buy a swim nappy (Konfidence? or any other brand?) or the huggies swim diaper?
Please let me know what is good or what you get for your darlings. Tks a lot!

BabyG,
I just bought a Watercolors top for my boy today. I'm bringing him for a swim next week and was hesitating whether I should just let him wear the Huggies swim diapers or get him a top in case he catches a cold. I didn't buy the suit, was thinking if he grows tall/too long then cannot fit into the suit. Would rather get separates which I think will last longer??

icy,
just emailed you the photos!
QQ,
what event?
MomMe,
you're not the only one, my girl also rejects everything when she's in bad mood, even milk.
Mummies,
now my girl doesn't take her night milk since her 6.30pm dinner (cereals). Should there be a cause for concern? IN fact, after reading through, i find that my girl is quite a small eater.

Luca,
Haha.... I sound like a very good cook ah
I make lotsa puree but not porridge. Save me a lot of time not to cook porridge since the infant care already give him that.
QQ,
What event? More detail please......
Luvv,
Sometime my boy also refused to bring his night feed (before bed), sometimes drink 60-90ml and that it is until midnight. I am not concern at all, since he eats whole throughout the day. Shouldn't be a concern if your gal is gaining weight steadily every month.

RE: Minced meat
How to process the minced meat for them? How fine the texture should be? I have yet to intro any minced meat for Javin. So far only put in pork with veg stems (Leaves keep for shopping into fine pieces add into the porriage for him to eat)and potato, carrots, corn and onions etc... Usually i will prepare soup stock for the porriage and when eating i will let him drink the soup. I alo put in black beans or yellow bean to the soup.

Re: Pork / Minced Meat
I will buy fresh pork cut into pieces and freeze. When cooking the porridge, I will take out a piece, slice some of it thinly and cut into small pieces then put in all the small bits of pork together with the remaining bigger piece to cook. It's much easier to cut the meat thinly when it's still frozen. Fresh pork will be too difficult to handle.

Re: Heng Cai
Usually we have to buy it in a bunch from supermarkets right? Since only use a few leaves for the porridge, how do you store the remaining without it turing yellow?? I still have not given my boy any heng cai becos still trying to figure out how not to waste the veg...any tips to share?

Meat in porridge/soup
Unlike what we thought, the soup stock actually has very little nutritional value, if at all. If you don't let your kid eat the meat itself, and only put it into the porridge or soup, it's more for the taste and almost nothing for it's nutrition.
Can steam the meat and blend it with blender then add into cereal/porridge.
Fish riched in Omega is very good for baby. Give daily is good, if not, try to give 2-3 times a week.

QQ,
Was it you who gave TT the Wang Wang biscuits?? Heard it's been removed from the shelves. Better play safe don't let our bb eat any of those biscuits/tidbits anymore. My sis bought my boy a packet of those rice crackers, supposedly made in Japan but I also don't dare to give liao since Japan also having the tainted rice scandal.
Aiyo, I ban all biscuits from now on...although also never give my boy much. Better stick to home-cooked/self-prepared food for them and give fruits/yogurt as snacks lor.

Kam,
At least for fruits/veg, we can still wash/clean properly then cook, so not so bad. But we really don't know what goes into those processed food anymore...sigh!
Those people really got no conscience...they themselves no kids meh??? I thought chinese believe in retribution? They not scared all the retribution will fall on their kids huh??

Yvonne,
Haiz..... it's really very sad, feel very sorry for the kids and their parents, this shows nowadays people only want to make money and no longer has moral. So very very sad.
True, processed food is more dangerous as they can put in literally anything without the users knowing. For furit and veg also, try to avoid as much as possible, as if they add some sort of chemical to the water, for example, it will be absorbed by the plant and couldn't be easily wash away. Wash/clean only wash away those pesticide spray on top of the leaves/fruit.
