Buttermilk is NOT butter in milk!!! "In the past buttermilk was actually made from the liquid left over after churning butter, but now it is commercially made by adding a bacteria to whole, skim, or low fat milk. But you really do not need to make a special trip to the grocery store every time you need buttermilk to make these pancakes. One option is to buy buttermilk powder so you always have it on hand or you can just as easily make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white distilled vinegar, cider vinegar, or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Just stir the vinegar or lemon juice into the milk and then let it stand 5 to 10 minutes before using."
Oil & butter are the fat components of baking a cake. Buttermilk are not substitute of fats in cakes.

Ingredient Substitution Table
Sometimes you may find it necessary to substitute one ingredient for another in a recipe. But using a different ingredient may change both the taste and texture of your baking, so it is a good idea before substituting to understand the role that ingredient plays in the recipe.

Have to rush through all the jabs coz we'll be doing quite a bit of travelling once he hits 5mths old.

my bb also had little red dots a few weeks back and at first thot they are heat rash but bcos they appear all over the body, esp the feet and arms (and not really around the neck), the doctor said they are most likely due to food allergies...i suspected due to the alcohol my mum added to my confinement food...so u need to observe which food might be the culprit...hope thst helps

adelineL,
my bb has lots of rashes all over her body too n her face.. PD said since i'm bfing, may be due to my diet too, could be the prawns that i took. It's hard to eliminate what's the cause, after more than 7 days she's still getting rashes on and off.
pancake, i din know we can give baby so many different kind of drinks. we gave my gal a few drops of honey water a few days back - cos she sounded like she 'lost her voice'.. haha.. mabbe due to too much 'opera singing'.
bad health
my cough n blocked ducts look like are here to stay. i'm super sian... i think the antibotics that i was taking for my blocked ducts made my ger's poo green!!!
twinklestar, u starting infant care 2nd or 3rd mth?

Take care Sheryl, hope u feel better soon
Also avoid giving bb honey, see this article:
"For a child under twelve months of age, there is a risk of botulism from eating honey and it should be avoided. The spores of the Clostridium botulinum bacteria can be found in honey, and when ingested by an infant, the spores can release a toxin that causes botulism.
Infant Botulism
According to the CDC, infants with botulism 'appear lethargic, feed poorly, are constipated, and have a weak cry and poor muscle tone,' which may 'progress to cause paralysis of the arms, legs, trunk and respiratory muscles.'
Although parents often know not to give their infants under twelve months of age plain honey, they often overlook other foods that contain honey in them, such as Honey Graham Crackers, Honey Nut Cheerios, Honey Wheat Bread, etc. Although the honey in these foods may be processed, it may not be pasteurized, and so may still contain botulism spores in them and should be avoided. If you feel strongly about giving these foods to your infant, call the manufacturer to make sure that they are safe.

the virus can be passed from adults to children. a church fren's 18-mth baby got infected not from the sisters but her parents or helper. we need to emphasis handwashing to all pple handling the babies.

tht time my gal also 3 days no poo poo (on simialc too), i brought her to PD and she says its okie, they can dun poo poo for 5days. In then end, she gives tablets for inserting the anus, ask me to insert if 5 days no poo. Not to worry, give ur baby more water, perhaps it helps

instead of doing the jabs at 2,4,6months, we're doing at 2,3,5mths old. The immunisations we're giving him are the 6in1, pneumococcal, and rotavirus. We're travelling from the time he's 5-half months old!

my boy very sensitive to ebm. mixed already but he still knw. I called sis kang. she say can jus gv chilled ebm. btw she said if wan to freeze ebm, cannot chilled in fRidge. hv to freeze d ebm asap. though sm (nt all n in fact only a small %) antibodies in frozen ebm may b lost, it is still much better than formula. btw it is normal tat frozen ebm taste fishy or soapy n definitely nt as sweet as chilled fresh ebm.
