Hi..mummies!

I think ever since i gave my bb a cereal and baby biscuit, he tends not wanting milk. I assume perhaps he already can differentiate good taste ( cereal & biscuit) and fishy taste such as milk. Kind of regretful - introducing him since 5mth old.

Thinking of stopping all the solid food and back 100% only milk, but it is advisable?

Some people said, baby at 6mth should be introduced solid food for them to learn how to take up solid and chewing sensation.

dunno what to do leh..? Now...I'm trying mixing some cereal onto his milk. Or any other option?

 

[belle_mommy]

my eldest started crawling at 7th month.. her crawling is cruising style not like on-the-knees-and-hands-straight kinda thing (cat movement)...

she crawling first then learnt to sit later

ya.. haha u taught me that before!! but i have not master it yet

Re: solid
hmm maybe bad mama here but base on my experience aunty, she used dried scallop to boil soup for her and use that to cook porridge.. Well what matters is she loves it and she is healthy
I am one that dun follow the book lah.. have what eat what..

[belle_mommy]

i shd say my girl is creeping crawling not cruising hee hee

 

[abcdisney]

hahah i will not know if Andrae is cruising or crawling cos i do not have any bumper mat for him to crawl/cruise on. Also my floor is the hard kind.. dun wan to take the risk of him bumping the head. So i guess given little opportunity he may be one bb who only crawl at a later stage... i only put him on the bed or playpen to crawl...

For mummies whose bb has started crawling, tat a good sign.

Hello Mummies,

Yesterday I gave my son cereal the first time in his life. He only ate a bit and seems to get a hang of eating cereal. But it turn out to be very messy also.

Baby First Cereal

大花猫

 

[abcdisney]

it is supposed to be messy. Btw i suggest putting him in rocker or high chair right at the beginnign to make it a habit

 

[isabellali]

Wow~ Alot of babies are learning to crawl and is already cruising... Baby Rhys still do none of these.. Guess gotta step up 'training'.. Lolx~

 

[isabellali]

Adeline
You said to sms you but you did not give me your number... Could you kindly give me ur no pls..

 

[jeangal]

abc, I thk ned to tie them to the rocker. Now I even haf probs changing his diapers or clothes. Wa say... Can really move a lot until its difficult to do such simple tasks.

 

[abcdisney]

jeangal
yes.. hv to tie them to rocker. hhahaa...

Isabelli

Yao Lan
I m letting go of bb yaolan ( electrical one ), the net n the movable frame. My bb dun like to sleep in. Let me know if anyone is interested. 9746 1185.

 

[madeleine]

Isabelli
yea abc posted my hp.
Sry.. i tends to skip posting and never see that u asked me for hp number.. hahaha.. esp i am blind this few days without specs

 

[reena]

jerejoy,
Steam uncooked rice until porridge ;-) For a start, no need to give other ingredients. When you want to give protein, if you don't want to give fish, can give meat first. I usually buy shou-rou, mince twice and steam it separately. Sometimes I give tou-fu.

Celia,
Wow, crawling now!? Mine can't even sit by herself yet. But to think positively, it's better for me so I don't have to keep watching over her

twinklestars,
My dd1 went there for allergies. Seems to be doing better, less mucus and phelgm but we stopped going. She was prescribed some liquid medicine and thankfully she had been drinking them quite well. But for younger infants, they can only do tui na. It works, but must be very consistent. My gf is still bringing her 2.5yo son there every week. They started when the bb was 4 months old.

JeanGal,
My ds2 only started solids at 7.5mths, not because he's not ready but I was too busy and lazy to start him

With dd3, she's definitely ready now. Will always "talk" when she sees us eating. Even my dd1 knows and she'll tease her little sister by eating in front of her. Lol

7 sit, 8 crawl, 9 teething
If you realise, most bbs open their eyes on their birth date. Old folks will tell you the bbs very fast, last time bb only open eyes on 3rd or 4th day. So the "7 sit, 8 crawl, 9 teething" is no longer true for our bbs now. I wonder if it's because of all those folic/multivits that we eat during preg.

 

[ryan_mummy]

haha, jeangal.. tie them to rocker..
nowadays i'll hold on to my boy's right ankle to prevent him frm flipping while i'm settling him. after bath drying &amp; changing or diaper change..
like war.. so my hb said.. keke

luckily his cot abit confined. so he can't flip too far either..

isabellali: baby rhys can sit? hehs, maybe rhys is gg according to tradition. sit first then crawl..

 

[ryan_mummy]

reena: dunno leh.. multivits so power.. haha
maybe last time ppl too many kids. so nv observe their babies' milestones.. so by the time they notice, already can crawl or sit wif ease.. prob the tooth sprouting is can c the entire tooth kind. so the mths will tally?
i think our babies here are 5/6mths creep/crawl/sit/teething type.. hehe

all together..

 

[madeleine]

Reena
for the sitting and teething is true for kim but.. crawling.. is not true cause she only moved her lazy butt after 10 mths!! hahahaa..
Hopefully kath dun crawl so fast also.. sit is sufficient if not 1 crawl, 1 run and fight things i faint..
Now kathlyn also start to snatch jie jie toys, pull her hair..

 

[jeangal]

Adeline, tts fast hor. Mine stil dunno how to grap toys properly. Ya hafg 2 alwayshaf probs of fightg if age too close.

 

[jgal]

hi

gals.. i went to the mp on the <font color="aa00aa">extending of CDA to Jan-Aug babies</font>. The feedback is postive.

The writer is very supportive of our call..
The MP say he is going to raise this situation to the minister-in-charge..

Gals please go and meet your MPs. . This will work.. What i did was that i brought with me one of the well-draft letters and then ask them to read before proceeding.. I think after reading my letters they are more clear on what we are requesting.. I am sure they will empathise with us

 

[abcdisney]

jgal
if u wan post anything on petition pls do so at yr petition thread. Thanks

People who are interested would have already join that thread. Thank you

[ryan_mummy]

[isabellali]

abc
Thanks for posting adeline's HP no. for me..

Petition
Actually abc got a point too... Anything on petition, I think it's better that u post it at the petition thread ad there is already a thread set up on this issue.. Some ppl might not be interested in this topic here....

 

[abcdisney]

isabelli
sorry for delaying the cereal for so long. My bb was sick initially thus delay the sending over of the cereal to her. Now her kid is sick too. So sorry abt it.

 

[babe_dude]

i agree with isabellali... abc just meant to keep our forum strictly for mummies and babies' talk... not that we are not interested in the petition.. but just dun wan to flood all conversation with the BB bonus thingy.. already sad enough.. so lets look on the brighter side and.. give a pat on our back.. "hey.. i got a baby, despite the bb bonus .. a cute little one! " hahahahah ... must look on brighter side lah .. facing bb a SAHM already wan to die liao..

[babyheng]

babe_dude,

my bb sometimes get very frustrated with eating cereal too cos i think too hungry liaos...haha! as soon as i give him the bottle, he'll settle down....

so nowadays, i bring the cereal feeding time earlier so that he's a not desperately hungry hippo, yet hungry enough to finish all his cereal!

 

[babe_dude]

shaz17, u give cereal morning?? like when bb wakes up??

i give her like after her afternoon nap.. hmm..

 

[abcdisney]

babe_dude
i oso give in the morning.

My schdeule so far:

Wake up
30 minutes later give cereal 1.5oz milk to 1.5 scoop of cereal
after cereal, 15 minutes later, bath.
1 hour after bath and before nap, 4oz of ebm
after nap... prob 2 hours after milk or 30 min after nap give puree
1 hour later ebm...

with this scheudle i only need to prepare 2 feed of milk for him.

So far puree only give potato and sweet potato. Going to try avocado, pears, apples after a while.

cereal is jus plain rice cereal.

May go on to 3 feed if he is coping well.. now for a start jus keep to the above scedule.

According to my gf she say even go out n meet his feeding time hv to bring either cereal or puree out so tat his routine/schedule is not affected.

Good Afternoon Mummies,

I gave my gal pumpkin and she loves it.

Plain cereal with honey is ok for her too.

But am afraid that cereal would be heaty.

 

[abcdisney]

zentan
cannot give honey to bb below 1 yr of age. they cannot digest thus consider "poisonous" to them

 

[zentan]

abc
oh is it?I never knew...but it's the cereal i bought from Nestle for Stage 2.not add in myself.

 

[isabellali]

Zentan
Ya.. No honey before 1yo.. No good for baby..

ABC
OMG!! Hope the kids will get well soon...

I'm also down with cough.. my in laws and my hubby are not feeling well too.. Haiz~ Guess there's alot of flu bugs ard..

 

[pinniet]
