thank's mummies, i am now better. hehehehe will still bf as long as i can, i will be more carefull next time when pumping try not to let my nipple sore again.
adeline L
same, i also wipe off the icing..hehheehe
cake
agar agar is my favourite but i think minnie n mikey cake is more meaningfull and photo taking. bengawan solo cake vr nice, we can choose mango fruit filling. agar agar vr easy to make, most of us can just DIY ourself at home and yet they still charge abt same price as cake...not worth getting it. if no agar agar, i think minnie cum mickey 2kg cake is just nice for 40 pp. 1kg is not enough i think

Clover, I suspect its growth spurts isit? Mine aso eat & drink a lot these days. The cereal or porridge no diff to them. Stil take his milk as per normal.
Yesterdy he took his porridge at 6.15pm. 7.30pm cries until v cham. Managed to finish 120ml. Then 8.30am another 90ml. Horrible...

clover,
Maybe he needs more carbohydrates? I guess porridge is mostly water and is digested very quickly?

glad u r feeling better...dat day at gathering it did look v. painful
sleeping thru
last time Chelsea's PD said waking up at night at this stage is just out of habit if the baby is healthy...like if we are used to eating supper, we'll feel hungry if didn't get supper so i used CIO on Chelsea and she stopped waking up at night after 2 nights of CIO (max less than an hour)....bb tommy also still wakes up twice at night to feed but since he's so skinny and gaining weight poorly, i just let him be and it doesn't really bother me too much to have to wake up too

I don't feed my boy porridge but instead I give him food puree. E.g. I boil small pieces of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn kernel & tomatoes toegether with brown rice till it's soft, then I put everything in a blender and blend it into a puree. You can also consider carrots, xiao bai cai, spinach, pumpkin.
I use homemade chicken soup to cook the food so that there is flavour too. I use a handful of wolfberries, one small clove of garlic and two slices of ginger to cook with one chicken drumstick (kampung chicken) and put it in a small slow cooker. I allow it to cook overnight. Next day I take some chicken meat to blend with his food. I cook & blend his food in the morning before I go to work and this is for two portions (lunch and dinner).
He eats oatmeal for his daily breakfast. I used to give him HealthyTimes oatmeal then one day I couldn't find it on any of the shelves in the supermarket!! I was so desperate I bought a tin of Quaker Oats (the pink coloured one) which is instant oats - you just need to add hot water/milk. Tried it on my boy once and he didn't reject it so now he's eating that. It soft enough for him to eat and I mix the Quaker oats with one tablespoon of the instant Nestle oatmeal & prune to it so that there's some flavour.

Oh forgot to add, because of all that food he takes, he tends to constipate more easily so we give him lots of fruits.
In the late morning, he eats one plum with some guava (all blended into puree). And in the late afternoon, he drinks some orange juice (not the sour sunkist but the sweet mandarin oranges). Hand squeezed, half an orange.
He still takes his milk 3-4x a day. Total daily milk intake about 700-800ml. This includes his milk once at night, usually ard 3am.

ya, vr pain..i still tahan till over a week..hehehehe. now less swollen and pain. thank's for the concern.
Brendon also lost weight, now only 8.4 kg but he is much taller now. i dun bother so much abt his weight, i think his built is just nice for 8th mth old baby...not too short or skinny or too fat. his 6th teeth shown lio so i think he has less appetite too.

Re: Tristan's feed schedule
830am: Oatmeal/Multigrain Cereal with mashed/pureed fruits +100ml milk feed
12pm: 180ml Milk feed
3pm: 180ml Milk feed
6pm: Brown Rice Cereal or Porridge with mashed root or green vegetables
830pm: 180ml Milk feed
5am: 180ml Milk feed
My mum is discouraging me from feeding porridge for the time being (and also time consuming to cook!) because she says it's just empty carbo, better to feed organic cereal because of the added vitamins and supplements. But so strange to add meat in cereal - i haven't started Tris on meat yet btw!!
Also, i dunno if anyone has heard this, she told me not to use pork bones for stock also (that day i cooked and kena scolded!)...apparently there has been reports for the past few years that preparing stock with pork bones is not good? Dunno where she got this info from because i can't seem to find anything on the net regarding this. But i believe her cos she reads alot of medical books, is into TCM and is a health nut!

i have a recipe for a tomato-based pasta sauce for young babies from one of the food books i bought....it has cheese as one of the ingredients though. some friends have told me that it's ok to start the baby on a bit of cheese after 8 months old. any mummies have offered cheese or yogurt to your young ones?

i also dun like the idea of pig bone stock,pig has some disease as i know when i was in HK. frog legs also contain many bacterial. when i was preggy, my hubby dun allowed me to eat frogs legs, tat's my favourite. i think fish is the best meat for baby. my mum sent me those fishes she bought straight from fishermans so no preservative added. i heard from my dad, those fishes which export out of my country has added preservative.

my boy is also on 2 hr schedule. similiar to yrs. But when i am away he is drinking 210ml. However he is still waking up at night to latch. Scedule as follows:
5.30am: latch
8am: cereal (5 cube puree each 1 oz and 2 tablespoon cereal)
10am: milk 210ml or 7oz
12noon: porridge
2pm: milk 180ml or 6oz
4pm: milk 180ml or 6oz/5 cube of puree
6pm: porridge
7.30pm: milk latch
9pm: milk latch
12.30am: milk latch
3am: milk latch
Havent taken his weight though so not sure how much he put on this mth. But after gving porridge find tat he can poo more easily.
Soup stock
I dun use pork bone. I use frog leg and pork lean meat. I would choose the lean meat with the least fats and ask the person to blend it twice for me.

pork bone stock
my mil uses spare ribs or soft bones from the shoudler part to make the soup. she's quite proud of it in fact coz she said her stock has became gelatin. all the goodness from the bone and meat has gone into the soup. she also said there's natural sodium found in meat so must give baby more water and to pass out the sodium. I am not worried about her cooking method or the ingredients coz she took time and effort to cook lunch and dinner separately and she buys the best ingredients daily from the market. plus she's also quite a health nut n read up a lot.
since my baby just started his first porridge, we still abide the three day rule to introduce new food to him.
I personally won't be using slow cooker as I think the nutrient is reduced due to prolong cooking and slow cooker consumes more electricity. so will look for thermal cooker. anyone has lobang???

sometimes, we steamed apple and make apple puree, pumkin puree and sweet potato...
