(2008/02) Feb 2008 MTBs

Dawn, I nearly wanted to buy a $200+ Tiger airport with double insulation ie. keep water hot for longer so that no need to reboil as often. I also have another one which can keep water temperature at 98 deg or 60 deg, good for making FM but I haven't use yet since still BF. Think that one use up even more electricity. My mum's house has a Tiger thermos flask, but after a while, not hot leh, can't make coffee, tea or milo. But maybe I'll try for 1 month and see how. :p

Purelyz, you are good, I can't tahan to see her cry for too long. If want to sleep train her using CIO, think I must be out of the house first. :p

good morning mummies,
it's Friday!! long weekend ahead. hehe..


re: electricity bill
mine is electricity + water + gas. when we just move in (2 adults), it's about $60+ too. Then now got 1 more adult + 1 more infant. So, it's $120 now.
regarding the airpot, I am using that too. bought it after bb 1st month cos it's really inconvenient to heat up ebm using water from thermaflask.
it's about 70 kWh ~ $21 more in the bill. I didn't boil water using the airpot. Boil it using stove then transfer to airpot to keep it hot.


re: BPA free bottle
kitsune,
i am talking about the one at babymallonline.
9 oz bottle is about USD $1.60 only. cheap cheap nia.
heard that milk bottle cannot be used for too long. once got scratch, got to change as it might have the risk of BPA leach into the milk.
currently have 2 hand-me-down tollyjoy bottles, i am going to retire them after getting the babymallonline bottles.

tongtong,
it's saying BPA free there. not sure if that's true.
i am going to get 2 for ebm storage. all my medela bottles are only 5 oz. need 9 oz one for express in the morning using a single manual pump.

let me start the ball rolling:

re: vegetable for bb
abc,
my PD recommended spinach when i went there @ 6 months.
the oxalic acid will be oxidized after cooking. make sure you don't cook it together with tofu as it might cause stones.
no need to wait till 12 months.

other vegetables PD recommended are brocolli, cauliflower, green beans.
i've not tried lettuce and cabbage yet.


re: baby finger food
can i check if you have already given finger food for baby? what are the finger food that you have given?
i've not try anything other than in puree form. not sure if i can give her and try.
 
xiaoyun
oh cannot cook with tofu har? ok..

chinese vs silken tofu
i've check but realise the chinese tofu has more sodium compared to silken tofu.
 
xioyun
i been adding green bean to porridge everyday. Saw an article is gd for preventing flu and cough.. havent try cauliflower though...
 
oxalic acid in spinach
Xiaoyun it seems raw spinach is better than cooked spinach... see below article:

Organic oxalic acid, defined as that which occurs in nature in its raw form, can actually be beneficial to the system. Once foods containing oxalic acid are cooked, according to the dean of juice therapy and author of Raw Vegetable Juices, Dr. Norman Walker, the oxalic acid becomes dead and irritating substance to the system. He feels that in its cooked form it binds irreversibly with the calcium and prevents calcium absorption. An excess of cooked oxalic acid may also form oxalic acid crystals in the kidney. In the live organic form of oxalic acid, Dr. Walker claims oxalic acid stones and calcium blockage do not occur because the organic oxalic acid can be metabolized appropriately. according to Dr. Walker, oxalic acid in its raw form is one of the important minerals needed to maintain tone and peristalsis of the bowel.
He also says no to worry about phytates in raw food. The body produces an enzyme called phytase that frees minerals from phytates. This does not work for cooked phytates because it has been denatured and the enzyme no longer fits it well enough to do its job.

There shouldn't be side effects of too much oxalates so long as the food is raw. It's the cooked you need to worry about and then, you could probably get kidney stones and osteoporosis.
 
good morning!!!!

re:birthday bash
mummies, r we still have it?
jan n mar thread already started their planning...
 
Xiaoyun
Another article. hmmm

the oxalic acid in vegetables is broken down in cooking and doesn't interfere with the absorption of calcium present in other foods, cheese for instance, that you might eat at the same time. Calcium is available from many other food sources - in addition to yogurt, cheese and milk (there's slightly more of the mineral in nonfat milk than in any other type), it is also found in a wide variety of fortified foods including orange juice, soy milk and cereals.

I certainly wouldn't avoid spinach or other leafy greens because of the oxalic acid effect. Spinach has a lot to offer nutritionally: it's an excellent source of folic acid, potassium and magnesium, as well as vitamin K, carotenes, vitamin C and lutein, important for healthy eyes.
 
can i get advice on where to find a good resource on nutrition value of various foods and what vitamins / minerals our babies need?

now i dont' really plan bb's menu. but i would like to plan it so that she gets a balanced diet.

purelyz, think u like me. I also leave bb to cry sometimes. Now, i think its much easier, at least dun have to pat him to sleep, jus put him in bed, lights off and sleep beside him, he will toss and turn and sleep. After a while, I put him in his own cot.

re: hotpot, I read somewhere that not good to drink water that is boil and reboil ( like those in airpot and electricity on for 24 hrs). So I boil and keep in hot flask and can keep warm over the night no problem. Still can make milk up to the next day. Maybe u all can consider.

xy, your bill not a lot liao. Mine is abt the amt too, only 2 adults and 1 infant, dun on aircon, not much tv except on weekends, no airpot. Only occassional weekend, in laws come over and on aircon for a nite a week. Dunno why bill so high. Sigh... money not enuff...

abc, u have so many lobang...
