MLP,

my bb sometimes will lie down his head too even in high chair. i let him watch cartoon so he will lift his head.

sometimes also bec bb dun want to eat the puree or food. if they dun want, dun force lor. just feed to the amt they want.
 


Felicia,

actually when steam food for bb, is usu become v soft liao.. so want to use normal mesher also can. but need more work. i am lazy lah, i prefer to use blender. not v costly, for making bb food u dun need a powerful one. can get as cheap as $30.
 
ellysia,
oh oh.. for me time being i tried to prepare 2 day supplies cos i dun intend to try freezing.. i read frm the website u gave us.. jus refrigerate the food can keep for 48hrs-72hrs.. i will prepare more nex time if i consider to freeze the food.. i tink i will choose to give bottled puree too.. mayb starting nex wk.. kekeke..
 
Soyabean, I think the fridge is "toshiba". can't be sure. the middle compartment is a separate door altogether. I think more than 1 brand of fridge has this design. So if your parents' is not toshiba never mind. Erm, my parents' fridge's middle compartment has a tempreture knob, which states 0,1,2,3. Then on the inside of the door, it says 0 is 'closed'. 1 is "fridge". 2 is chill. 3 is "freezer". So I just turn the knob to the desired temperature. What I did was to store the milk in a pampers box (can stuff 55 180ml bags in one pampers box). Then put the whole box into this compartment and have "freezer" switched on.
 
Hi Angel_z, taken your order of 1 MG. Payment i will confirm wif u on the amt again cos I'm waiting for USD to drop a bit then ship to S'pore cos now Borderlinx is using 1.61 & I find a bit high lor.

Wah, every1 giving some form of semi solid food already? My monster still on milk leh. Past 2 days his milk demand increased. Now he's still drinking 4hrly & per feed he's taking either 180ml of BM or 160ml FM.
 
Mag, my boy still on milk. We're starting semi solids on xmas eve. when he is 6 months old!

He is consuming about 200ml every 4 hourly. TBM. Per 24 hours, he drinks about 1150ml. sometimes up to 1.3litres. sometimes about 1litre.
 
Mag, there are advantages and disadvantages to giving semi-solids early/later. All depends on our bb's development.

From what I know, bbs with family history or personal history of allergies, should give milk longer. If bbs are given TBM, should also be given longer because of antibodies.

But all bbs should be given semi-solids at 6 months cos bbs lack iron. First 6 months, bb have iron from stores during pregnancy. AFter birth, bb's iron levels drop slowly. At 6 months, bb needs iron from other sources because milk is not high in iron.

Also, if we give semi-solids later, we need to go through the food types quicker than a mother who gave semi-solids earlier. Because bb needs to get nutrition from other sources instead of just cereal/porridge/safer types of root vegs.

Also, some bbs find that milk alone is not enough for them. In such a case, the baby will have lower than 50th percentile weight. The doctor will be able to advice in such a case. They keep on wanting more and more milk. So it's important to monitor overall feed over 24 hours to see if it is an increasing pattern. It isnormal for 6 month old bbs to have a growth spurt. But it is important to differtiate a growth spurt from milk being insufficient. You can tell the difference because growth spurts only last a few days, at most a week. if milk is insufficient because bb needs semi-solids, bb's weight will drop AND bb will continue demanding more and more milk beyond 1 week.

Having said that, it is recommended that bbs be given TBM for 6 months (unless doctor recommends otherwise) and up to 12 months (with semi solids), although studies show that bbs need at least 9 months of BM to derived optimum health benefits/mental development.

So it's a balance we need to strike.
 
oh, also, some adults give semi-solids (esp the caregivers will push to give semi-solids) cos semi solids is more "filling" for the baby and it is easier for the care-giver to look after the baby instead of coaxing the bb to keep drinking milk every 3 to 4 hours.

Shinely, Avent teat 3 is up to 6 months. teat 4 is from 6 months onwards. Hope this helps!

Btw, i read that most babies whom was on semi solid, only take 2-3 spoonful of puree? Or i read wrongly? Only 2-3 spoonful, enuf?

BBcupid, ya right! My stroller was WET fm yesterday's rain! haha... i recommend u to use stroller last time so u using that now? my hse got an "old" high chair...already call home to ask maid to use that first.

Btw, I went to a party at Globetrotters last Sat and actually Jayden can sit well in their Ikea high-chair. Wa pian, I was super happy lor!!! Cos i don need to carry him. woahaha... He sat there very happy also.

Thanks angel_z, I will not get any bottled apple juice then. For fresh apple, is it possible just to scrap from the apple with a spoon and give bb without steaming the apple? Do you which type of apple to use?
 
RE: Washing of Cloth books
I only wash those without electrical parts. Those with, I don't think we can wash. Just don let bb put it to their mouths.

My boy forever reaching his toes if i put him in bumbo seat. if not, he will lean super backwards. cannot sit still one
