xiaoyun,
ya can...cook the porridge in slow cooker until super gooey. can put any single foods that baby has already taken and is ok with.

so eg. if bb is ok with carrot, potato, pumpkin etc can chop finely and throw everything together to cook.

for texture, if you want it to be even finer like paste, can puree after the porridge is already cooked.

i'm not expert, only trying first time today hee hee...above is what PD advised.
 
garfield,
haha.. will work tat out..
happy.gif

u post the details on the thread again to remind me hor..
 
garfield/cheryl,
that's lots of effort le.
for cereal, only warm bm then add in cereal. at most steam vege then puree.
lazy mama like me will stick to cereal for a while then. :p
 
xiaoyun,
not difficult leh. just wash rice, chop vege or puree vege, then put into slow cooker to cook. but if carrie is ok with cereal then no need to try porridge also.

i think my gal takes after my taste so prefers porridge. i've NEVER taken cereal in my life haha....
 
xiaoyun,
u so cute.. yes, bb w/out teeth can eat porridge..
happy.gif

like wat garfield & cheryl said, just make sure u cook the porridge till v "nuah"..
 
garfield, I would love to be a part time member of your sat playgroup if possible (cant commit weekly), keep me informed in case I miss your posts cause I dont always have time to check back here.

bkkgal, you organising playgroup on weekdays? Not working for time being? (sorry if I missed yr post about that.
happy.gif
)

Cheryl, so sorry, gotta give yr gathering a miss, I can only make it if its later afternoon from 4pm onwards or so. Hope to join in next time

just something to suggest.

my mum STEAMS porridge instead of cooking in slow cooker. she say steaming preserves the vitamins better - esp if cooking involves long period of 'boiling' away the nutrients in the veggies etc.

ruth eats all kinds of rubbish nowadays. chok, fish, various fruits n veggies, bread, cheese, cereal, biscuits etc.

i have totally lost track of what she's eating liao. as long as she happily chomping and no problems with digestion and poo poo....i not controlling her. (lazy....n well, wanna give my mum freedom to do whatever she want. she not senseless type anyway - definitely much more meticulous and careful than me so no point for me to control!)
 
berry,
oh, u not going for the gathering tis sat ?
u hv some ON stuff with me leh.. just arrived..

so i sent by post to u as usual ? reg or normal ?

garfield,
can't believe it leh... u look very ang mo pie to me leh...

I read from a book, it's better to steam veg separately then throw into porridge when ready... like that not much nutrients lost...

Slow cooker,
When we cook porridge over the stove, usually we add quite a lot of water right? After simmer for some times, it will be just nice... How about if I use slow cooker? Put in the same amount of water or lesser?

Mrs Loh
Wah the vivo city gathering is so big! I think you all do a picnic in botanics better lah! everyone brings mats and food. No need to think abt different budgets. Venue is free. hehehe, just a suggestion.

Garfield
how to cook porridge for small portion har? already having to puree some amt of carrots very tough leh. in the end have to puree one batch and freeze until later. Do you free your porridge?
 
bkkgal,
picnic at botanic garden is good too!! good idea!

in case we are still proceed with vivo, here's my choice:

iso,
the class not bad. u can consider going. can jio jeannie coz she missed out.

jeannie,
hope gwen is better already. ashlynn just had her hep b vaccination today. wa, u needa go sch on teachers' day? i only going back on wed...

xiaoyun,
ashlynn quite fair, but compared to the other babies, she is the darkest. haha.. so u can imagine how fair the rest of the babies are.

kitsune,
dun be sad. u have provided the best to RaeAnne for the past 7mths plus. i was also sad when we first offered FM to ashlynn. and ya, my mil oso commented that she likes to drink FM. i was offended and upset about the comment. i remembered happymum2be told me to ask her back "huh, ashlynn tell u ah?" i found it so farni
happy.gif
 
hehe..
i've got bug repellent lotion, piyo piyo mozzie device... can put them into good use.
but i am concern about rain.
 
xiaoyun
sob sob, i find the bug repellent lotion and the device not effective leh. or maybe those mozzie at my place are immune to these two 'ke xin'. those mosquito patch seemed to work better. ya, weather is the greatest concern.
 
hahaa... I think if we really go picnic and it rains, we will see many wei da de mu ai and fu ai... all babies will be dry and all parents totally soak through... everyone will protect the little ones first

xiao yun/cheryl
thanks!

kitsune
tough for you. with so many ppl discouraging you and you still can bf for so long, you are really good!

snowbelle
if use slow cooker, no need so much water. and it's good to cook for bb's porridge, 'cos no need watch fire. :D
 
hb, me, my gal and bb would be there... IF there's no last minute thing crops up.

thks mummies for suggestions on how to preserve nutrients of veggie. shows my ignorance right? cos i seldom / never cook haha...

snowbelle,
no lah where got ang mo pie =P i've not tasted quaker oats, nestum etc....i'm totally asian in my diet and taste!

berry,
sure sure! i'll SMS you details when we finalize them.

kitsune,
RaeAnne will always prefer mummy so don't feel so bad abt introducing FM. remember our feb08 motto? happy mum = happy baby! jia you!!

not sure if you still intend to wake up to pump at night, but if you do - think of me cos i'm still doing the same, then we won't feel so "lonely".
 
sunny,
ok sure! or if any mummy staying closer to you and going for gathering i can also pass to them. i think my place quite far for you right?
 
quaker oats,
kekee... depends you prefer to eat the salty or sweet version lor... I like the sweet one... with condensed milk... yum-yum :p
 
hi stephie,

camera,i looking at canon and sony with the features xiaoyun mentioned,what is ur budget?where u buy the mosquito patch?which brand?just stick at places near bb or stick to bb clothes?wish can join u all for the gathering,but fil going major leg surgery,so sat got to be at the hospital
 
re venue - let's fix marche then? i think it's big enough for all of us, plus wide range of foods to suit different budgets?

i love the idea of botanic gardens. let's KIV that for an outing when the weather is less unpredictable!
 
bkk...
i thought of picnic also...but hor...i think abit risky cuz nowadays weather is horrible. so stick to indoor better.

vivo can also go eh 'picnic-style' if just go on rooftop. haha.
 
Thanks all for your kind words.
happy.gif


bkkgal, Bx, that's a good one, I should have asked FIL when he said that. But sigh, I know I'm the one being sensitive cos I feel guilty in the first place so whatever he say is extra 'jarring' to me.

Gar, I'll still be latching on in the night until RaeAnne learns to sleep through but haven't been pumping in the night for a while. You more weida than me. Jia you jia you!
happy.gif


Cheryl, will PM you my number.

Brought RaeAnne for her first professional photo shoot in the afternoon. Haven't posted photos yet. Didn't go so well cos as usual we were late and rushing. PIE jammed and hubby took wrong turn. RaeAnne was grouchy from long car ride cos she still doesn't like to be strapped to the car seat and I was coughing away so was impatient towards her. Quite low mood today, just asked hubby to bring her to ILs place so that we can have a proper tapow dinner at home so that I can take my med. Still need to work tom, sigh.

Xiao Yun,
it's ok. better than me... rojak pie... all I like! Btw, have you try putting condensed milk in nestum, without water? I always eat like that before adding water... :p roll it like muah chee :p

lezy,
last time the park next to orchard mrt is philipino's picnic area... now vivo rooftop is mummies' picnic area :p
 
I discovered Kate Lynn's first tooth today! *rub hands* so exciting! My baby's starting to teeth!

She's also extra active today, flipping left, right, centre. She had never shown interest in flipping before. Looks like 2 milestones coming at once.

Experienced mommies, what can we give if they are very uncomfortable during the teething period?
