joelle, heinz's are soft and supposed to be melt-in-your-mouth too. But I think it doesn't melt fast enough so some bits are semi-soft so still very dangerous I feel..
 


lynn
i haven't tried the other brands. i only tried pigeon, ate it myself hehe. i think it melts fast enough. tastes great too LOL sort of blandly-tastey. i tried the seaweed flavor. same as yvonne's description, it melts after being wet by saliva, even out of mouth. it is messy. i think all teething biscuits are messy!
 
Just to share (for fellow mummies of fussy eaters), my girl loves HB Oatmeal
happy.gif
Definitely likes it more than HB Brown Rice..
 
lynn,
HT teether biscuits can definitely prevent that cos really hard.

My sis told me her PD last time looks at the amt of milk/water added to cereal instead of the amount of cereal. To subsitute one meal, about half the amount of a normal milk feed is to be added to make up the cereal. I find this may be more true cos diff cereal are quite diff. like HT barley makes so much less amount od cereal compared to HB brown rice.

Hi mummies,

I'm introducing cereal to Julian tomorrow. I was trying out Heinz and Bellamy rice cereal but the texture is abit flaky. Is it suppose to be that way? I can't get it into a puree.

Burpy_babe, I read from Babycubes website that babycubes are microwave safe and also can be sterilised. http://www.babycubes.com/faq.html

Scubababe, I've the same 'complaint' as you regarding the LG/Parklon playmat - too big and cumbersome to lift and roll up whenever we want to vaccum or mop the floor. Otherwise, the initial cost should not be a deterrent for mummies esp since our babies are so active now, learning to crawl. Read from parenting books that it's not good to always carry babies, rather, allow them plenty of space to explore and creep around so their motor skills can develop faster. It's a very worthwhile investment. So much so that some mummies like Winter and Maro are buying 2nd mat

I actually wanted too but ran out of space already! Mine's the Parklon Yellow Bear with Alphabet at the back.

Just did Purple Sweet Potato Puree on Sat. Dana likes it (maybe because it's mixed into Frisocrem and not HT Brown Rice)

My HT brown rice is untouched after 3 feeds cos Dana doesn't like its taste! I still have 1 brand new unopened box from Lynn's spree. Any mummy interested to take over?

Ya... actually I also think is watery but it's recommended on HB tin the ratio of 4 to 1 as baby's first food.. maybe will increase the thickness gradually...

Did your purple sweet potato turned greenish when you blend into puree? I'm wondering how come the puree is green in colour!
 
tsukushi, green one is avocado lah. lol. Purple sweet potato really turned out very luscious purplish
happy.gif
and very yummy too. Apparantly, sweet potatoes are more nutritious than carrots
happy.gif


Serene, fruit purees are not 'instant', it's home-made with love...
 
re home-cooked porridge

I have just started to feed my boy home-cooked porridge last weekend. Quite troublesome compared to cereal but I think it's good cos it's not processed food.
 
angel

Huh purple??? Yours is the japanese purple sweet potato? The flesh is pale-yellow in colour right? After i blended it, it became pale-green.
 
angel,
I started with organic brown rice and also normal plain rice. Brown rice is supposed to be healthier.

Actually you don't need a slow cooker if you have a blender. There are 2 ways. 1. wash, dry and grind the rice into powder. Then cook for 10mins will do. You can grind the powder in batches and cook as and when you need. 2. Cook your normal grains, then blend the porridge into puree.

I just grinded some whitebaits yesterday. Hehe
 
angel
Btw I got this super space saving blender from Tangs basement. $60+ only and it blends/grinds quite well. Comes with a soya bean milk 'maker' too.

tsukushi, the sweet potatoes I bought are those with purple flesh. NTUC sells those from Vietnam. I bought from a wet market stall in Ghim Moh. Very sweet and not too expensive.

Didn't know dun need slow cooker
sad.gif
can you email me a pic of the blender you bought from Tangs? I was just there last Friday for the garage sale. I bought ikan billis,cook porridge. But 1st time cooking baby porridge, super no confidence
sad.gif
Will use normal fragrant white rice first as I think Dana will reject brown rice...

Mushloom,
The replacement seat cover costs about $80+, less than $90 the last time I checked

Angel and Tsukushi,
Can either of you please tell me the difference between a slow cooker and a thermal cooker?
I've already got a hand-held blender, but am also considering a cooker.
 
Diva, a thermal pot is more 'energy' efficient. Once your contents are brought to a boil, you place the inner pot into the outer one and close the lid for it to continue cooking on its own. A slow cooker requires electricity to keep contents cooking or warm and takes at least an hour for baby porridge to be cooked to right consistency. But since it's my very first time preparing baby porridge and I really hope the porridge to be super-smooth like the cantonese 'zhok' kind so went to buy a slow cooker. My MIL insists a thermal pot can also achieve the same effect but I'm clueless. I've also got hand-held blender which am using to puree all the fruits
happy.gif
 
thanks to all mummies for sharing the daily food intake of your baby, gonna introduce apple to my boy cereal tml.. getting excited.. haha..

tsukushi,
