sunny, I been giving organic rolled oats (not quaker, but larger and thicker-cut than quacker) since 8 or 9 months as a substitute for rice when I cook his porridge at times. But I would blend it with a handheld blender so texture is not a problem.
fairfield, pigeon has this nose suction thingy, its not a bulb aspirator type. There is a long tube, you're supposed to put the edge of the tube at bb's nostril and suck v hrd at one end, the mucous will flow into a small bottle thats attahed to it. Super duper effective, just like blowing bb's nose for him! My PD also gave me a saline nose spray to squirt into his nostrils to thin the mucous, then followed by suction, cleans out EVERY single drop of mucous. But the downside is that your bb might scream and fight very hard if you can tahan that.
own stuff- fairfield, er.. wat do u mean by have time for my own stuff? As in wat stuff? I have some wind down time in the night when hb comes home to take over. Thats about it on weekdays. Actually hor, last time before I had my bb, I also had no idea how I'll be able to squeeze out time to look after bb. But when you're faced w the situation, naturally can find time.
leila, hmm if I were you, I wouldnt try to adjust bb's sleeping pattersn, cause when he is older, he'll prob sleep lesser anyway? So why do anything now since its not exactly a problem for you? I would love to have that extra time, can paint my nails, do a mask, tidy the house, or park my bum in front of the PC till he wakes hee.
pauline, I idint know there is a kids ergo? I thought only one. I am using the regular one, can carry up to 25 kg, shd be good enough for v v long (my DD at 4.5yo is only 16kg+)? I am guessing that by the time reach 25kg shdnt need to carry anymore? hahaha!
