Clover,
You're asking how I washed the cloth nappies? I assume you mean when it's soiled with poo? I always line the nappies with liners. Discard soiled liners and use the shower hose to spray onto the nappy to remove anymore poo. Scrub with detergent and soak in water for a few hours/overnight. Then I throw into the washing machine to wash as per normal.
bbpink,
Percentile - you are so funny!
YT,
You can get lots of recipes here.
http://www.kitchencapers.net/phpbb/index.php
I've tried these and they are good (using breadmaker machine)
Cream cheese bread
Orange bread
Hokkaido Milk Bread
Brioche with yoghurt
If the maid has time, there are alot more bread to bake, using the oven. I've tried the following and they're nice too:
Basic Sweet Bread Dough
Sweet Bread
Animal Bread Rolls
Cranberry bread
**All recipes from Kitchen Capers**
I just made this 2 nights ago, very simple and nice. It's unlike some quick bread recipes that's heavy and dense.
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Banana-Bread---Quick-Bread-for-Machines/Detail.aspx
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup white sugar - <font color="ff0000">I used 1/2 cup only</font>
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
DIRECTIONS
Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine.
Select the Dough setting, and press Start. Mix the bread for 3 to 5 minutes until the bananas are mashed and all ingredients are thoroughly combined. If necessary, use a rubber spatula to push the dough from the sides of the bread pan. When 3 to 5 minutes have passed on the clock display, press Stop. Do not continue mixing. Smooth out the top of the loaf with the rubber spatula.
Select the Bake setting, and press Start. The Bake cycle time may vary with machines, but should be about 50 minutes. To test the bread for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center top. Remove the toothpick. If the bread is done, the toothpick will come out clean. If there is dough on the toothpick, reset the machine on Bake and continue to bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Test again with the toothpick to assure the bread is completely baked. Remove the pan from the machine, but allow the bread to remain in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread to cool completely on a wire rack.

Mamas
U gals are so engross in the recipe and sick babies topics that no one took notice of my Qs. ~So sad~ Just ask again to see if anyone will reply me now: What are all those Sanbucols and stuffs??? Cos me nv gave my kids all these before.. Since my DS #1, I only gave them cod liver oil. And I find that it's quite good... Now then I know that there are actually quite alot of things that we can give to babies...
Reached home around 10pm after work... And find out that the 2nd last toe nails on my left foot is dangling there, near dropping point. So I just might as well pull the whole thing out.. Now am afraid that it will not grow back again... Any mamas experience the same thing before??

Hi, I'm from the Feb mom's group, wanna ask if anyone uses Friso Gold #1 for their babies? My maid bought the wrong one (even though I write down what to buy and showed her the bottle 2 times, long story). It is just opened today, so I cannot return to the store. If anyone is using, maybe can arrange for self collection - I can't bear to throw away and PD said that it's not healthy to continue giving #1 when I have been giving #2 for almost 1 month liao. Pls PM me k? Thanks

Kate,
How's Brendon now? You must be worried sick. Do take care as you need to be strong in order to take care of him.
Mummyboy,
Imagine if you didn't breastfeed, bbs have higher chance of falling sick. Think positive ;-)
abc,
Happybellies cereal - you getting this from local supplier? How much does a box cost? Let me know when the stock is here, thanks!
Huggies barcode/proof of purchase
Anyone using Huggies here? Is there a redemption going on for Huggies diapers? I see some mommies want to buy barcodes. I saw also besides the barcode, there's this "perforated" rectangle with points on it. What's that for? Anyone knows?

Baby boys
Baby boys tend to fall sick easier than girls because of the way they are 'made' of. Boys are made of X & Y Cromosome (dunno if I spell correctly), while girls are X & X.
Y: basically is 'deformed' cromosome. Or they call it 'spoilt' cromosome.
X: Good cromosome. Perfect cromosome.
With a 'spoilt' cromosome, boys are more vulnerable to those 'born-with' illness like down syndrome and stuff.
For mummies who have baby boys, if u are free and able to afford some time for books, I recommend this book: From Boys to Men. Can be found at most library. That's what I read when I had my 2nd baby...

SOS!!!
My boy keep snatching the spoon when I fed him cereal. He would scream n shout if I dun give him. Ending up crying. I would then stop feeding him cereal altogether when this thing happens. Wasted the cereal a few times liao.
Qns:
1. how much are you gals giving your bb each time for the cereal?
2. how come my boy seems to be hungry even though I fed him 3 spoonful of cereal, one hour after his milk, and he will still be on time for his next feed of milk? I am now giving once a day of cereal to my bb.

reena, yes! THANKS for yr cloth diaper advice. i was wondering whether i did something wrong for the time i had put him on cloth nappy... coz the stains were hard to wash off. in the end i used washing machine. hehe.
Clover,
It was through trial and error that I found out how to wash away the poo stain.
YT,
Did I understand that you were a cabin crew? So you left when you're pregnant or before preg? My gf also crew and she worked till she was 4 months preg before she left (tummy starting to show). Only returned back to work when her son turned 1yo. Are you planning to return to work too?

CP & YT : Hmm my gal also scream and shout when i feed her cereal. She seems to be so impatient, if she really cry too hard, mi change to bottle feed her cereal. then she ok. Think they just wan us to feed them fast fast lah. My mum initial give my gal 1 and 1/2 spoonful of cereal.
YT, happymum
they snatch cos they wan to hv something on hand. Perhaps gv them another spoont o hold or play with.
Cereal
i hv 2 tablespoon/ Those tat we use to drink spoon. He finish all. Dun force him to eat if he cannot finish. PATIENCE is the word at this stage cos both mum and bb r tryign new things. Sometimes u jus hv to trial and error. It is normal to waste the cereal at thos point of time.
scedhule
i gv 2 hour after each feed. Cereal at 8 then milk at 10. Give at least a 2 hr gap. It is normal to mess up schedule now as they r growing. As they grow up their milk intake comes les freuqent and they get their nutrition from food they eat. For FM solids is more impt afrer 6 mth. for BM bb it is after 8-9 mth.
YT
wat makes u think he is hungry? prob he is thirsty? Anyway whcih kind of spoon u using? Maybe it could be the texture of cereal too.

I am giving my ger 3 tablespoon of cereals, twice a day. so far she is okie leh, just that she will be impatient too and cry too. but usually i will make her finish her feed.
the onli thing i cant stand is that she will to put her finger inside her mouth halfway thru the feeding.
