All mummies, - Snacks for babies
Do any of you feed snacks to your babies? You noe we used to have this snack- small round "Milk balls"- I think it's called "Wang Zai Xiao Man Tou"- can we feed our babies that? Unsure coz of the melamine scare- is it safe?
What other snacks do u recommend?

pixel, I think not all hakka the same. My MIL is hakka and me hokkien but her cooking is not as good and can eat simple. Eat rice more than dish..but recently abit better after I have two kiddos and the older one now eats with us. Maybe she sees my mum pack food for me when they pick my son up at her place.

Wendyg, ya loh..spend on cc and class for her...aiyo dunno how to support my #2 for those liao..

Baby flipping
Mine flips like nobody's business and seriously it's tough changing diapers. Sometimes end up I abit rough to him. U gals too?

[lu_meihua]

bebe_yan,
no problem. if want sun, i can still plan for ur but sun i will not come cos sun i've program le.

 

[blessedbaby]

mummies, I am surviving from bringing my gal out with big stroller. No problem, I can use 1 hand with it.. so strong.. I have tried walking, up down the hill, taxi, close up/ open stroller all by myself with hand.. practise makes perfect. So, now, I think all mummies are gifted in this area.. Just pack and go.

I am very pissed off, when I was on MRT, nobody gives up their seats. They pretend to be blind.. Specially, a gal in front of me, dare not look up as she was pretending busy with playing games. I wanted to confront her just now.. So many old women on MRT stood in front of her, she also didnt stand up. No gracious at all.

RE: diaper changing
yup, sometimes get so frustrated trying to change my girl's diaper that i end up smacking her on her bum =p

blessedbaby,
good for u!! practise make perfect, no need to scared go out with bb alone ya?
had the same experience in the mrt before, carrying bb and all the barang, nobody bother to give up seat. in the end it's actually the old people that offer me their seat. I guess it's cos they've been through it b4 they know how tough it is??

 

[angelwind]

Mummies, I have sent out our details to GUG &amp; is confirmed. See you soon </font>

Lynn
Some advise for you on GUG. Rem to call &amp; confirm with them (even after u send email) to ensure that they have taken note. They are a bit slow, blur &amp; disorganised!!

A bit pissed with them cos' i tried to arrange 23 Nov, at first they said is ok but last min tell me that is taken. Then after i finalised the date on 30 Nov &amp; even sent email on Mon, they still never respond my email until I juz called them &amp; make them confirm. Guess what, she said shld be "More or less" confirm. Phew!!

Anyway, let's keep our fingers cross, hope they won't fly plane!!

Oh ya, was told by the other lady got outdoor activity the other day but today another lady told me is purely indoor class. Then i asked why we nid additional set of clothing. She said is for "projects" like coloring?? I hope the activities/programs will not disappoint us like their staff.

 

[jennifera]

pixiepixel
I have nothing to give Gerrard so I end up giving him a small rice grain when I eat my dinner

Yvonne
Thanks for your suggestions- I will check it out. But Cheerios issit a kind of breakfast cereal?

Mei,
If it is turf city, I am not so keen coz too far from my house.

kitsune
U are interested in GUG too? Hopefully it happens then we can finally see one another! hahah

But actually what do we do in GUG?? I just sign up without knowing... does it involve crawling? Coz my son cannot crawl yet.

 

[lu_meihua]

itok,
my girl still dun want semi-solid.

 

[lyn78]

Janbb: thks for ur info.. oh no! i better call them. "Project" coloring??! our bb can color or drinkin it?

 

[angelwind]

itok
i gave a lot of snacks to my boy.

-xiao man tou
-cereal, usually what kind of cereal i am eating at the moment, he will be eating that too
-corn, coz he likes to chew on stuff, even when he has only 2 bottom front teeth
-bread
-"cakes" which i meant things like those cake bread, sara lee kind of cakes etc

actually i give my boy almost whatever i am eating, except spicy food, seafood, or food that needs too much chewing. he has eaten char siew bao, lor mai kai, siew mai blah blah

my boy is very adventurous, nowadays i give him fruits like pear, apples, no need to scrape into bits. i put it in his mouth, he will scrape from his own teeth while i hold on to the piece of fruit.

junk foodie

 

[janbb]

Lynn,
haha, I share the same thots too ; )
Keep our eyes open then !!

itok,
Check out the program here: (you will expect this activities in the trial)
http://www.gugifted.com/main.htm

Not necessary for crawling. Is not like Baby Jumper Gym (BJG) that got activities involving crawling. My boy has juz started crawling recently too (abt 10mth). Wonder is it coincidental cos' he managed to crawl after few lessons in BJG. Also, we always carry him or put him in walker, seldom let him on the floor. Did u buy Bumpermat? It will help them to crawl faster
Btw, u received my H/P msg this morning?

 

[lj2]

mei, how many do u have?

 

[ylim]

itok,
yup, Cheerios is a kind of breakfast cereal but it's made from wholegrain oats so very healthy, both for baby and adults.

 

[wendyg]

evening
i thought if u order 3 items, then i can put delivery address as your place, then we dun hv to arrange meetup etc. We v far apart ley...

 

[jennifera]

Janbb
Yup, i got your sms- sorry was busy so din reply.
I also seldom put my boy on the floor. he dont really like tummy time too.. yes, i have a bumpermat but still no signs of crawling..

Toothpaste for babies
do any of you buy any toothpaste to brush ur babies' teeth? Any good recommendations? Issit like adult toothpaste texture? What if they swallow?

 

[kitsune_sg]

Itok, ya lor, still haven't met yet. So near yet so far away. I still waiting for you to PM me your HP no. leh cos I lost it with my old phone.

First teeth is good, comes with finger brush, baby swallow also ok.

 

[jennifera]

kitsune, u mean u havent got my HP number??? You left a tag on my blog's tagboard right? and i sms you back.
