<font color="aa00aa">bizznow, so far i only use Vpost, hvnt try oth courier services. I read in the thread mentioned by Fennie, tat most mummies said if small package is good to go via VPost, bulky, heavy type shld use comgateway. But like wat fennie's mentioned that comgateway had quite nbr of lossing packages.</font>
i am testing out borderlinx right now. it seems easier to use than vpost. and i love the fact there's someone i can chat with regarding my purchases 24/7
cust service is def way better. less steps in ordering compared to v post, and slightly cheaper some more
only condition is you need to have a citibank credit card

about the brown rice,why need to cook under gas?can't use rice cooker?mine is philips intelligent rice cooker,can use that one?
normally how long it takes to cook ?
thanks
btw,how to cut off ikan bilis head?seems like a lot of work..
seems like a lot of mummies here have started to wean off their babies,me haven't yet cause i think my baby still want his milk,he will be 5months old tomorrow.
regarding the musical cloth book,i also bought one quite some time for my bb from babysoft,my baby also love it.sometimes he will cry for no reason,i try to console him,but fail,i will just press the book for sound,and he will stop and smile immediately.amazing i think.

Morning all!
I'm thinking of buying detinox to try. Can mothers who have used it share how long it seems to last? I want to see if it helps my boy drink better.. and sleep better... Matthew seems to prefer sucking his thumbs rather than drinking. We need to feed him when he's sleepy or when he is sleeping. From the time we apply it, how long does the numbness last? If we want to apply before feeds and for night sleeps, how many times and at what intervals do we apply at night? Also, do we apply just before we feed milk? Or we wait for some time before we feed milk?

Oh! little Matthew can finally flip from his back to his tummy. He did his first flip over the weekend! Can flip both directions now. Also, he seems to prefer to be put down and patted rather than to rock to sleep. For 3 days and 2 nights, I would rock him as usual but instead of sleeping easily, he would remain very alert. Then, I put him down on his mattress, and he would slowly close his eyes (during the day) and finall sleep. I would pat him to help him sleep. But for 2 nights, there was no need to pat. Both evenings, we fed him milk when he was sleepy, then put him down on the mattress, then he would talk to himself! haha! for a couple of minutes, then his eyes would close and he would doze off!
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">cactus... i think my boi oso leh...these few days he dun want to rock to sleep but prefer to sleep on his mattress or our bed.. dunno y leh?
dentinox.. the instruction says 20mins interval.. but think so long as they dun make noise again sld be fine lah...

cactus:
the dentinox box said apply every 20min when necessary so i guess its effect wears off after 20 min.. i applied dentinox on my ger and the effect last for like 20-30min..
but i dun apply again la.. cos constant numbing effect doesn't seem very good for the baby.. so if i see that she is upset when the numbing effect wears off then i will try distracting her with toys, walks, etc.. if i see her keep sucking on both hands n still crying then i will apply again.. cos i scare she feels reali uncomfortable...
wa... your boy so cute eh... he talks himself to sleep.. heehee.. so now you can actually train him so sleep on his own liao.. good for you!! ^_^

Fen,
I never try using rice cooker electric. I prefer to use gas as its more faster and I can keep stiring and roughly gauge the texture I want.
Ikan bills if buy with head I will use hands to pick out. You can buy those without head one.
Ellysia,
Not sure whether they will help to grind or not.. maybe can try asking.
I have friends bought EYS brown rice. Recommended start age is after 6mths.
DIY brown rice may seems very troublesome especially working mum. Market have alot of ready mix. One of the brand which is not sweet can be found in NTUC is a chinese brand "RABBIT" i think... very popular among all mummies.

crystal,
nvm, bring gwen to my place and let her try it out and then ur hubby will be convinced!! hehe.
but seriously, i've pm-ed u last nite. go read, u might just be able to change ur hubby's mind. 
other than the space, i think it's a good buy cos lucas likes to bounce now when u carry him as in he doesn't want to sit keep on trying to stand so the jumperoo is the perfect solution, he gets to stand and we get some rest.
bleh,
take care!
angel,
my boy also woke up last nite several times cos of teething discomfort. applied teething gel and luckily managed to get him back to sleep.

For me, my brown rice is added with some ikan bills so I will jsut cook with water without any milk. Normally after 6mths, some people will start by giving porridge too.
A sample of feeding from 7-9mths depending.
Upon wake - Milk
9am - Cereal.
1030 - Milk
12-1pm - Porridge
Mid afternoon - Milk / Some fruits puree
The rest of the feeding will be just MILK.
This is just a rough gauge of timing to give our BB lo. Some other mummies have their own routine too. Normally Dinner to intro rice or porridge will be around or after 1yr old.

For teething gel, I didn't know Dentinox have to reapply so many times. The one I'm using is called Baby Orajel http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=15824&catid=26946&trx=PLST-0-CAT&trxp1=26946&trxp2=15824&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-CAT which I got fr Drugstore spree.
Effect can last at least 6 hrs for my boi cos I normally apply at 8pm, sleep at 9pm then wake up at 2 to 3am for milk (I dun apply gel anymore) & sleep until 6 or 7am.

Hey crystal & tera, I bought the rainforest jumperoo also but have yet to let my boi try cos I think his head too heavy so he can't really lift his head up for long. I think i'll let him try when he's 5mths which is in 2 wks time.
Tera, my boi also likes to jump when we hold him that's y i decided to get jumperoo instead of Evenflo's exersaucer. At least can do some exercise & lose some weight, hehe...
