jass,
re: persimmon
the siap taste of it i think it's the part closer to skin.
don't know if it's good for freezing. so far fed her the fresh one, those very ripe kind.
she likes it..
re: blueberries
i use those frozen one blend with yogurt. no need to defroze them.
for those defroze one, i think they become very nuah compared to those fresh one. in the end very hard to cut them up.
garfield,
i still have 1 tin of Similac and 1 NAN haven't open yet. don't think it's wise for me to get those formula now, afraid they will expired before i need them.
agree with bkkgal, it's hard to switch formula if bb get used to 1 brand.

re formula,
i have switched A from friso soy to isomil to similac. so i wanna try to switch her (again). bad mommy!! if she will take to the organic formula, i will let her take that instead. no harm trying lor.
bkk,
errm...we don't do frozen purees at all at home cos my mom and dad insist on doing everything fresh....plus i already set aside 1 pack on standby. still have 2 packs extra.
xy,
oh then don't waste. unless you really want to try the organic formula then i think you can v easily sell away the similar and nan cos those are popular brands

iso,
ya have to get from the states as this brand is not available in singapore.
i've been doing some research on this topic for awhile becos my concern is that there are big bucks in the organic foods biz and i won't be surprised if there are unethical practices going on even in firms that claim to produce organic foods.
there is a lot of controvery over the certification "USDA Organic" as the US govt is under pressure by the various biz communities to relax their standards. hence, the stamp "USDA Organic" doesn't really stand for much to me.
You can check out this site http://cornucopia.org/dairysurvey/index.html which rates independently the quality of organic milk.

The forum was down for a long time!
Gar,
Yes coach classic is choped by you. I'll take measurements of the MARNI dress tonight and let you know. Also have a BN Katharine Melandrino top which I bought, also sadly just before I got preggy, my ribcage expanded. You interested?
Yeah, I go have a lot of stuff *guilty* Alot like the home decor stuff were not used at all.
Cheryl, the toscano bag you want? I'll reserve for you cos the other mommy did not reply to me.

Bx, if you read my blog, you'll realise the porridge not prepared by me but by my experienced 2nd aunt who had grandkids, 1 & 3 years old. 
But she did tell me how she made the porridge, basically, she bought a portable hot plate that comes with a metal jug with cover. Before going on the trip, she bought 'ying yu (not ikan bilis)' and grind into powder then bring to HK together with carrot, pumpkin and broccoli & cauliflower (because these veg are hardy and keeps well). She puts all these into the hotel fridge on the first day. Then every morning, she will make the fresh porridge. 1 metal jug is enough for my pink thermos food jar which is equal to 2 feeds. So, RaeAnne had porridge in the morning and evening.

hello gers.. i am back!!
Reached sin at an unearthly hr: 3 plus am this morn!!No choice tiger airways is like that. Luckily baby can take the flight well.. played on the way there and slept on the way back. Just take turns to carry among..
Enjoyed the trip a lot.. it was a bit of hassle bringing baby along but no regrets..took a lot of nice photos and she enjoyed the trip too. She was so happily chatting away in her cot everynight we went back to the hotel.
Places that we esp. like:
1. Ocean Park- the atoll reef is very nice.. a lot of big fishes there.. gwen was in awe when she saw the big fish.
2. Temple street- we stayed near there.. so went there almost every night for their zi char dinner
3. Mongkok - really quite happening place... can buy a lot of things at the ladies mkt
4. Stanley mkt- a lot of kids stuffs.. quitye cheap.. ger tights abt 6 bucks sin..i bought 100 over sin dollars of stuffs for Gwen.
5 Lantau island.. the Ngong ping 360 cable car is quite impressive.. citygate shopping is good w/o baby
6. Victoria Peak- Took bus 15.. lik what lezy said.. bus ride is quite cool.. haha.. winding road up.. quite shiok
7. LuoHu- at shenzhen.. sigh should have gone there before i went hk.. their things there are even cheaper.. i bought 3 pairs of shoes there ( abt 10 bucks each).. they have a lot of kids stuffs there too.. prob. stanley mkt got their stuffs from here. At first i thought shenzehn will be dangerous.. but i think it is ok.. if u just be more alert and keep things close to you.
8. Dim sum- their sim sum is really "hard to find" in a way cause hidden in buildings.. lezy i can find the tao herng.. ask the hotel pp.. they also dunno.. so din go..Went to a few dim sum places near my hotel..and 1 ex one ( Maxim Palace at city hall- dun think fantastic though) would recommend Mu Dan Ting restaurant at Hankow Rd, TST) reasonable pricing and good food.
9. The transport system in hk is quite developed.. its really easy to get around on mtr, minibus.. normal bus and star ferry.. just get an OCTOPUS card.. something like our ezy link..
Last but not least:
i think strollers are recommended if perhaps u are going disneyland or ocean park.. else on the road shopping or moving through the night mkts.. better to use carrier or sling.. i used sling most of the time. less bulky and more convenient.
btw.. i stay at BP international hotel... i like the rooms there.. got harbour view.. stayed on the 18th floor.. requested for 1 queen size bed for 1 room, 2 single beds for another room.. and they are adjoining rooms ( but w no door connecting). Hotel was able to acede request.. daily papers and BF provided.. i think its quite good.. though must walk a bit from jordan station but along the way there are.. pushcarts selling stuffs.. so i think its ok..
Gar and those who intend to go HK, hope the above helps...

how many luggages did u devote to Gwen? Can share your packing list?
I'm going 8 days down under. Already having a headache over what to pack. dunno should pack pump or not cos so bulky or try to handexpress. Milk also dunno 400g enuff or not. Plus maybe going to beach there, so have to pack swimwear, float? sunblock? hat? I'm also thinking whether to bring a portable pot to cook porridge or eat cereal all the way?
And of course, as usual, the men don't care...sigh..i'm going with another couple friend with kid. no helpful grandaunty or mil there to crack brains over what to pack.

bx,
just a thought...eventho i've never gone overseas with baby before but even at home when we are rushing or came home late, i usually give cayleb bb jar food. healthy times got some really nice ones e.g. chick stew and it contains everything from rice to meat/vegie (can buy in carrefour which has quite a good range). i have a friend who went to malaka last month, she brought few baby jar foods and just fed baby that instead of usual porridge. imho, you don't really have to stick with porridge. another thing you can do is feed barley/plain cereal and mix it with the bb vegie jar food? since you would only be going for 3 days maybe can do that? but of course it's best if you try it out first before you go, just to know if ashlynn likes it or not.

Hi mummies, need advice on sleep training. My baby is still waking up evey 2-3 hours every night! She wakes up to cry very very loudly , and sometimes wont even stop when we feed her. Sometimes she will only calm down after we carry her up and walk around for at least 15 mins then after she fal asleep again, then put her down again. but in less than 3 hours , she wil be crying again. I am not sure if i should use the Cry it out method, but there was once i tried that , she creid for 1 whole hour and my husband was so angry with me. then i felt guilty also. I tried the below:
1) teething gel
2) patting her
3) feeding her as much as she can take (150 ML) before she sleep
4) sleep routine i,e, bathing and reading her book before she sleeps
Am completly exhausted.. Any advice ? Thanks

Tute, that's what I thought too. To feed baby with baby food jar or cereals mixed with food jars. Heard also there is this pigeon instant porridge that only need you to heat the bag up.
I tried mixing food jar into cereal for my girl to try over the weekend. She can take it quite well.
My girl is now having a fever. 39.5 degrees just now. Went to see a doc and was given two type of fever medicine. One for high fever and one for normal fever. Now seems like confirmed cannot go on the short trip this weekend liao.

PORRIDGE:
erm...ruth's porridge is never cooked with stock to my knowledge.
just add in the fish/meat, with spinach, tomatoes sometimes. on occasion, my mum also add in a dash of marmite.
Nicole, sorry i'm one of those lucky mums. ruth sleeps thru from 8/9pm till 6am.
Only bad thing is 6am she will be damn wide awake. used to be 7+am but now getting earlier. *groan*

jeannie...aiyoh u didn't go causeway bay/wanchai area? nicer than mongkok and tst i feel - maybe cuz i really dun quite fancy markets i guess.
n erm, i totally restrained. i only came back with a toy train for ruth. nothing else.
i guess we not very shopperholic type. ppl see our luggage so small, abit surprised. the driver of our airport transfer was like "that's all!?!?"
i guess the variety is more..but pricing i feel nothing that fantastic.
the bus 15 quite thriller ah!
aiyoh tao heung would be not veyr walking distance from mongkok. it's nearer to granville road.
i am with you on food. i think place like HK at least still have porridge for baby..better than 'ang moh' place - only have bread. Must train baby to be more 'independent' and chin chai about food. my mum say when i'm young, bring me out no need porridge. just have some rice with soup and some ingredients can liao.
BKK, i also aiming for trip to melbourne in Sep/Nov/Dec. Prob about 1-2 weeks. haven't start worrying yet. wait for all of u to come back with experiences and let me know.

hope your bb's fever comes down otherwise should bring to doctor...
nicole
if u want to sleep train, must be consistent and persistent. At 6 mths when she was still waking up at least once a night and once i am very sure it is not hunger, both me and hb decided to let her cry and not attend to her. First night, she cried over an hour until so tired, she fell asleep. Second night, 45 minutes. 3rd night 15 mins and then after that, just whimper here and there but never woke up. It's very tough to watch and hear your child cry but cannot go to her. But we must be cruel to be kind cos the main thing is to teach them to fall back to sleep by themselves. Now she sleeps from 9 to 6am without waking unless she did not eat/drink enough during the day.
My prob is how to train my girl to eat anything, anyhow. She's damn picky abt food which makes travelling tough. Wish she can be like gwen or ruth, so easy! No porridge in Aussieland, how? If pack my own rice, will I get caught by immigration officers or not? That time my father brought mooncakes already kena fined like AUD150!

Jeannie, ya, Langham Place is ex but with a baby, shopping just downstairs sounds fantastic leh. Hee.
Bx, Bkkgal, oh ya, I forgot the most important ingredient, my aunt also brought dried scallop but she shred and cut before putting it into porridge so that RaeAnne can swallow. My mum brought the 'xin bi' for porridge. Her porridge really very nice, she'll pass me the extra that can't fit into the food jar so I got some porridge every morning. Bkkgal, no no no, cannot lend. If can, I also want to book her for all my trips. hahaha.
But cannot leh. She got 2 grandkids to look after, priority will be given to her second daughter who travels quite often. Sigh
Sorry, can't share any pix of the hot plate and food jug cos I didn't take any pixs. Maybe any travel hot plate with pot will do also?
Apple, yup, I bought all the different pigeon porridge variety. Very convenient, just heat up the pack in hot water, tear open the foil and feed. But it's very exp, $7 for 2 small packs. And I find the 7 months type too watery, 1 pack not filling, while the 12 months too lumpy esp the one with small whole fish, it's still too 'bulky' for RaeAnne to swallow. If you want to try those, make sure let her try frist and get used to it before going on holiday.
Bkkgal, Sigh, I still fail at sleep training, I can't sustain the Cry It Out method. Don't know if it's too late to start training.
Goodbbb, err, the aunties and my MIL helped to bathe RaeAnne, I think they did it in the bathtub but my MIL did complain that need 2 adults to help bathe her. ;P
At night, when we come back to hotel, I'll use a clean warm towel to wipe her face, body, hands. Then we let her stand in the sink and wash her bottom. That's about it. Hee.

nicole,
sorry can't help you coz my son auto sleep through...
bkkgal,
cayleb also doesn't like those one type pureed fruit/vegie jar food but i just kept buying and found he like some e.g. heinz the only one he takes is the pumpkin/corn, all those apple/pear/carrot/sweet potato he will reject. healthy times he will take mostly but only those that is from dinner series or mixture of 2 things e.g. kiwi strawbery, banana muesli... i think you shouldn't give up... try a few more and hopefully bb kate will find something that she likes? oh, and have you tried giving custards? those are quite yummy too... can give for snacks/breakfast.

Nicole, you are not alone. I am having the same problem as you. When Hayden was 9mths, we tried the cry it out method. Hayden was crying for 2 hours. We tried for 2 days. No improvment....So my mother asked us to train later...
Hayden still wake up every 2 to 3 hours. Sometime even every hour. Hayden can not fall asleep by himself. When i was around, he need to latch on. Else he can not fall asleep...When no around, then sometime he will fall asleep after a bottle of milk or sometime need to be carried to sleep...
Mummies, any advice? Very desperate liao...

Morning moms!
Sleep training
Sorry I wasn't clear b4. I don't advocate the cry it out method. What I did was to go in and pat her or carry her every fifteen minutes and put her back in the cot. I will keep stretching this 15 mins until eventually she stops crying. The key really is consistency. I also used a paci to soothe her but will pull it once she is sleeping. Hope this helps
Tute
Custard sounds yumm will try it. Yeah maybe I must be as as persistent about food as sleep. LOL
This pigeon porridge that also sounds convenient. Is it salty
