but not just unfair, it sounds like discrimination. i mean, unless you tell them that you want to take some hours off to go pump and you don't want to work past the normal working hours etc, it's unwarranted that they should treat you differently.
plus, you know, these days the govt and in the papers they're always talking about work-life balance and how to encourage people to have more babies. if the press catches wind of how they are treating you, hoho, that should be fun to watch!

 

[garfield9]

[snowbelle]

solid food,
Tried to feed my bb Henz bb cereal today... she don't like... even want to puke... like very yucky to swallow... dunno should I try again tomorrow... then thinking of maybe trying avocado tomorrow but dunno how to choose... those look nice one, green colour ones are rock hard... What other food can I let her try?

 

[nyny]

snowbelle
for avocado, you need to buy in advance. and don't put in the fridge. normally it will need about 2 - 3 days to become softer. the skin normally is dark green when it's ripe.

how about trying mesh potato? you can check out this website http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/solidfood4to6montholdbaby.htm

they recommend sweet potato, banana,etc as well. but for me, i prefer to let bb start from non-sweet stuff 1st.

 

[weddingfairy]

hi jasmine
i'll collect it fr tamp on 9aug. can u pls PM me ur HP no? thks!

 

[isobellies]

snowbelle
try again tmm! the first few days my bb always give a frown with the heinz bb cereal but he finished up everything.. now starting to not be so interested in his milk and can finish up whatever i give him

 

[kitsune_sg]

I got a bottle of Heinz baby vegetable jar food but I haven't let baby try yet. Anyone knows how to heat up jar food? Must heat up or not hah?

 

[weddingfairy]

kitsune
u can juz heat it in a cup of hot water. tat shld b alright.

 

[kitsune_sg]

Thanks, Kelly.

What if I'm only taking a bit out of the jar to feed? Should not heat up everything at one shot right?

 

[cherylkjh]

heinz baby vege

i mix 2 spoon of baby vege into his brown rice,, and he ate finish everything. lol

 

[isobellies]

i wonder if it's better to do the veg yourself? but i'm damn lazy. tempted to buy the jars, heh.

 

[cherylkjh]

isobellies
of cos but i m lazy also ah.... hahaha

 

[kitsune_sg]

Cheryl, that's an idea, don't know if I can mix it with the Heinz rice cereal? Anyone tried that?

 

[isobellies]

Thankful!! Mai tu liao, you should write into ST, since they covered similar stories to yours (actually those are even worse, a few got sacked). Ask for your name to be withheld if you're afraid your employer will not be happy. They might do a follow up story if there is a lot of public interest!

 

[babyxan]

kitsune,
i mix gerber pear puree into rice cereal to feed my ger.

 

[kitsune_sg]

<font color="ff0000">Anyone wants to organise Babycentre spree? Me wants to buy some carters clothes but spree has closed.

[kirsten]

Hi mummies

I am helping a friend to advertise her services. She does processing of placenta after birth and encapsulate it into capsule for consumption.It has been a recent push among young mothers to eat the placenta after giving birth. Studies have shown that eating the placenta can curb postpartum depression, replenish nutrients, increase milk production, and slow postpartum hemorrhage.

Benefit of eating placenta includes
1.Placentophagia may help replenish nutrients lost during childbirth
2.Postpartum wellness and recovery
3.The placenta contains high levels of various vitamins, such as B6, which can help curb postpartum depression. Eating the placenta enables the mother to "reclaim" these vitamins and put them to use in her own body.
4. It may also increase a mother's blood levels of a hormone known as CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone), a known stress-reducer. This hormone is normally secreted by the hypothalamus. Eating the placenta can raise a mother's CRH levels, reducing symptoms of postpartum depression.

If anyone here has friends that are interested please let me know. I can recommend my friend services to her.

Many thanks!

[jadonmum]

Just found out last Friday that they had employed a senior procurement officer in replacement of my absence from that department. Last Friday and the weekends were so sad and disappointed. Even 1 colleague asked me to prepare myself after the trip. It's time to do preparation. Find my road is darkness now. **DOUBLE SIGH**

I must make sure I excel in this department to prove them wrong when I still enduring. I have to put the big "REN" word in front of me.

Did you ladies saw the SUNDAY STRAITS TIME. It's headline is Women being sack for pregnancy. This will bring highlight to all bosses. Wait till the married ones w/o child in that department go on maternity leave. Then they will know how cruel it will be.

XiaoYun,
Will transfer to you by today.

 

[cherylkjh]

goodbb

i add 2 teaspoon of the heinz into his brown rice... i din mix any milk at all.... i put 100 ml of hot water and 1 table spoon of brown rice and den cook it den mix in the heinz

 

[berrywife]

cherly, dont mind me asking, I'm just wondering- since u are already cooking your own BR, why not add fresh veggies in the rice tog when you are cooking it, and puree everything within a few seconds? Cause usually jar food is used for convenience, and might as well cook everything fresh since oredi cooking?

kitsune, if u are using only part of a jar, then you scoop out watever u need w a clean spoon, and refrigerate the rest immed. For the scooped-out portion, put it in a small plate/bowl, and place this plate/bowl in a warm bath like wat kelly says.

 

[jass1408]

hee.. i steam &amp; puree pumpkin to mix in bb's cereal. he likes it

brought matthew for check up &amp; jabs last saturday. wah.. @ 5M2W, he is 7.5Kg and 65cm. so heavy.. no wonder my back is aching so badly nowadays.

SUCK! Get order for my previous department now supervisor scolded me cos client want to give cheque upon goods delivered. I stated in quotation subject to cheque clearance before goods collection. Moreover client called 540pm last friday leh! I could not access my system as well due to some computer faults.

Supervisor kept saying "change department also cannot like that one mah. Must do properly so that the next person handling can take over. We still working for this company mah. Not say you change department already then don't care."

WAH PIANG! Still picking me on this issue again. Since last Thursday, you pick on me. You want to pick on me till when. I avoid going up if I have given a choice. Sian to see her face! If I really draw the line, then I can tell client to talk to her instead of me.

Poor thankful, I also transfer dept before so I know how you feel, sometimes very 'cham' one lor. I had to serve 3 months notice before transferring to a new dept then cos my ex boss not willing to let me go until I clear all the work for her. Sigh. Normally, resign also need only 1 month notice. Had to endure so long but I'm much happier now. Jia you jia you, the new dept may be better.
