feifei,
board books are usu small, for children size. big pages with colourful pixs. simple words. hold yr bb together and sit together, read to her. I always let my hb do it. he read it to my bb.
u can view articles on solid food at http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/infant/startingsolids.html
u can also see this article: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/157774/how_to_tell_if_your_baby_is_ready_for.html?cat=25
Before the age of 6 months, a baby's digestive tract is not developed enough to handle the extra workload of digesting solid foods. Introducing solid foods too early can cause constipation, gas, and spitting up. In the long run, babies who have been introduced to solid foods before the age of 6 months can run the risk of developing diabetes and gastrointestinal disease in later childhood and into adulthood. Early introduction of solids also increases the risk of food allergies in children.
sandra,
understand as long as dun touch the roots is fine so i tink rebonding not ideal but colour maybe. however i dun dare to do.

What isn't a sign of readiness
If you ask your grandparents or your neighbors, they may tell you some "surefire" ways to tell if your baby is ready. But these signs aren't always true indications of readiness for solid foods. When your three-month old begins to watch you intently as you eat, this does not indicate that she is ready for solid foods. She's just interested in everything you do. She may grab at your food and cry when you don't let her have it, but again, this does not mean she's ready for solids. Babies want to play with everything. Your food is no exception. If a baby is fussy at night or seems to be unsatisfied after a bottle or nursing, this also does not necessarily mean that she is ready for solid foods, especially if she doesn't display the signs of readiness outlined in this article. Solid foods will not help her sleep better at night - in fact, it may make her sleep habits worse if her tummy is not ready for solid foods, because she will have stomach pain and possibly gas as her digestive system struggles to deal with this new food. And never ever give a baby cereal (or any other solid foods) in a bottle. This is bad for a baby's digestive tract, and it is a choking hazard.
Again, before starting your child on solid foods, talk to her doctor. Only your doctor can determine whether your child is truly ready for solids, and if he asks you to hold off on solids, listen to his advice.

hi ellysia
Anti dust mite bedding only work for a while... if really worried abt dustmite, might want to invest in a vacuum cleaner/dustmite cleaner. Dustmites "give birth" every 21 days, so by right, once every 3 weeks must use the anti dustmite cleaner to kill them.. but me and hubby too lazy, buy liao.. put it there like white elephant haiz.... but when u use, the water is grey and dirty all the dustmites killed... eeks The one we are using is Rainbow system

here's a link about LAM - think it's useful for mothers who want to conceive soon, and mothers who want to avoid pregnancy through exclusive breastfeeding

Crystal, I agree with you about not putting faith in horoscopes. but I hate it whenever what my mom says come true when it comes true. sometimes that happens and she proves me wrong, then she nags at me for months! I can't take that sort of thing. that's why I rather avoid a tiger baby, not that I believe it but because she warned me not to have a tiger baby. my mom's educated but she still errs on the side of caution because perhaps, people tell her things and if things happen, she will regret not having told me or not heeding their advice. Life is just like this. Something like, for our wedding, my mom's a christian. She doesn't believe in good auspicious dates but when my ILs wanted to choose a good date, she also didn't object but instead said, for our good, please ask them to choose a good date. she rather believe than not to believe in such things. that's why I rather avoid conceiving a tiger baby. That's why I feel some pressure to have a baby soon. but because of my c-section wound recovery, I don't dare to conceive so quickly too. that's why only giving myself one chance in March next year to try. I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed!

Hi mummies,
Have been feeling down this few days. What's bothering me? Actually I don't really know.. I have been reading a humble mummy's blog. About raising her son with hand me downs..furniture that is given, hand-made etc. and after reading, I have been reflecting on the things that I have done ever since my daugther have been born. Come to think of it, I have not done much but spend ALOT of money on "WANTS", rather then "NEEDS". Buying tons of clothes, expensive stroller, carriers, toys,and what not. Are they really needs? No...actually...
Reccession is coming or rather have started...we will never know what will happen next.Sprees, BP..all super addictive. God knows how much I have spent...I don't even DARE to calculate.
Its going to be hard...very hard to control myself.

I'm very confused by my boy. He doesn't seem to want to drink milk. Yesterday, he only drank 1litre. Usually, he drinks 1.2litres. His hands just come in the way of the mjilk bottle when he drinks. He's so strong now. I don't knwo if I'm force feeding him or if he is just trying to hold te bottle but has poor motor skills. the paed told me to offer him milk every 3 hours. Sigh...
Then, tomorrow he's going for his 2nd DPT jab. Keeping fingers crossed everything will be ok. MIL told me babies may have fever. he was okay from his 1st jab. Hope he is okay after his 2nd jab too.
It's strange that it is so natural to worry about our babies.
