LOL @ Wendyg 
for #1, i used to cook porridge for him, loaded with all sorts of yummilicious stuff, and he downed 1.5 bowls every meal.
now, the slow cooker is with my mum since she uses it Mon-Fri. Weekends either i stand over a pot on the stove for 1hr, stirring & making sure it doesn't overboil.. or i make instant 3min porridge which he doesn't like (maybe not watery enuf), or i give him cereal with fruit. The last option is the fastest and easiest on everyone. Husband busy with #1, or busy resting and can't help me watch #2 while he screams for me thru the kitchen gate... sometimes we go out on short notice, and i can't just leave the porridge half cooked etc...
surely, there are solutions - buy another mini-slow cooker, invest in those Thermos thingies that can continue cooking even after removal fr stove... maybe i'll be forced to do that if he gets sick of his weekend cereal feeds. Hopefully by then he can already take soupy rice.

Mom2nat,
Rolled oats is oats lor...hehehe. Need to cook for about 20 mins...still faster than porridge. You can add chopped raisins or fruits after it's cooked. Oats helps in passing motion too
wendyg,
Actually you don't need to buy another mini slow cooker. Do you one of those thermos/Tiger/etc food jar or those thermal flask for hot water? It does the same trick. Just boil rice with ingredients over stove for 15-20 mins then transfer to the food jar or thermal flask. The porridge will "continue to cook" and turn into porridge texture in about 1-2 hours. The temperature is maintained in the food jar/thermal flask which helps to "cook" the porridge since the rice will continue to absorb the water and soften. So you can still cook porridge for your son even on short notice. I do that all the time.

Yesterday my cousin came visiting with her 2 kids. When I carried her 9 mths old daughter, my boy's face turned red immediately and he cried big time...haha. Didn't expect him to be so jealous since he likes looking at babies and playing with my nieces, etc. Jealousy is really an instinct for them...hehe.
Anyway, carrying her daughter was a breeze...so light. I think only about 6-7kg as compared to my little giant who was already 10kg when he was 9 mths. But she really can scream...hehe...just as loud as my boy.

Maybe you want to consider buying those 2.5L magic cooker. I bought them during Dec Isetan Sales and it really helps. Just need to boil the porridge for 10 mins and put the pot into the thermal. It will be cooked in an hr or so. Best is that you can also steam your fish with the porridge as it comes with a small pot.
In doing so, It gives me more time to manage the little one and also if we are going out I can take the whole thermal out

Serene,
Those magic cooked are very big right? I ever saw it in Taka and even the smallest one is way too bulky...unless I have a maid to carry it for me...hehehe. I prefer to use food jar which I can conveniently dump into the diaper bag...already have too many things to bring out so can't afford to carry bulky & heavy things.

Less than $40 dollars. Bigger than our thermo but not really very bulky. I like it because I don't hv to stand on the stove stirring the porridge and I will just transfer the porridge to the food jar if I am going out.
I will only bring the magic cooker out if I need to be out before lunch.

there's another way for me... to bring home the slow cooker every Fri evening. ooooh, means i gotto stock up the ingredients for the porridge.. meat/ fish/ sweetcorn/ tofu etc.. thinking about it.. *yawn*
I dun think i can manage another food jar/ magic cooker when i go out. Coz already many things to carry.. husband complaining. Anyways, we hardly go out whole day shopping... mostly it's to ILs place or my granny's place. So praying that baby can take soupy rice soon, then his menu can be expanded & i dun hv to bother with cooking porridge for him.

Washed off the ants under the running tap and more ants came out from under the handle! Wanted to dump the whole thing away but Hubby came over and washed it off, knocking here and there for the ants to come out from their hiding place. Yucks. I don't dare to use it but he said now ok liao and also it's outside, not inside the flask.. Still doubtful, won't be using it for these few days...

same thing happened with a plastic picnic tub.. meant to keep food warm, or for ice bucket.. the difference was that this tub was around for... 20 YEARS?!?! and my mum didn't know what to do with it, so plonked in my home. Alamak, i traced the ant trail from my dustbin to the tub and i freaked out... there was no food in the tub, has been disused.. and even a strong plastic smell, but the ants make a nest in there?!?! I threw it out immediately. Piece of junk that brought ants to my home. arggghh
wendyg, u ask ur hubbie whether he feel lonely with no sons lo? I think once in a while my dad would wish that he had a son that he can play golf and talk with him instead of his 2 daughters who always side with their mummy
. But well, when hes got son in laws they are also his sons lo? But if I dont have a daughter I would feel lonely lo, coz my hubbie already telling me if #2 is a daughter AGAIN, he would be so lonely.
I think the richest in my family is my girl now, shes got the most red packet this year. At least help us cover the amount of red packet we gave out this year, only did not managed to cover the catering cost for her birthday which is super ex, since we had it during CNY. Will post her pictures up shortly if I managed to. Stay tuned.

ah, i hv 2 sons, my husband will not be lonely ley?
my dad has 2 daughters- me and my sis. he hangs out with his frens, talks to my mum.. sometimes he talks to me abt family stuff.. from young he sort of treated me like a boy.. wanted to teach me how to change car tyre (but i dunno la), change light bulb, repair leaking tap etc. Thank God i married a man who knows how to do all these, o'wise really i gotto roll up my sleeves wor. hahahaha.

jess, wendyg, well, my hubbie and his brother only sons of the only son in the whole big family. The rest lost hope that his brother will ever wanna settle down. So all the hope on my hubbie, so the burden on me lo. Coz his parents no longer ard, so all the other aunties feel they have the responsibility to see them do well in life and also make the family proud lo. Traditional thinking, but I do understand la. Me and hubbie or rather my hubbie wanna stop at #2 coz he feels too many we cant managed. But I will feel guilty la, since his relatives have been so nice to me since we got married. So even if we stop at #2, its like a responsibility that you have not fulfilled lo. But I did tell his aunties very frankly, what if we have #3 and its still a girl, its really never ending lo
