Recipe from wholesomebabyfood:
Plum Baby Food Recipes - Plum Purée
Peel and cut into chunks and steam until tender in a scant amount of water. Puree using the leftover cooking liquid OR
1. Scrub fruit clean
2. Carve an X into 1 side of the fruit
3. Place X side down in a pan with an inch of water
4. Bring water to a boil and steam until soft and tender
5. Peel skin from fruit and remove pits and/or seeds
OR:
Halve the fruit, pit and place "open" side down in a pan filled with 1 inch of water, bake at 400F until soft and tender or puckering of the skin appears.
OR
Drop whole, cleansed fruits into a pan of boiling water for 5-10 minutes, until fruits are soft
Place fruits into a bowl of cold water and slip off the skins then cut and pit the fruit
Puree as with any other fruit, adding lots of liquid if needed.
Plum Baby Food Recipes - "Dried" Prune Puree
6-8months+ or as needed for constipation
1. Soak dried prunes in warm water until they plump up or steam gently.
2. Once plump and tender, toss into food processor or blender and begin to puree.
3. Add liquid without sparing any. Prunes tend to become a pasty gluey consistency when pureed and the more water you add, the easier it is to puree to a texture your baby will tolerate.
Like apricots, prune puree will not freeze into a solid block. The skins should not pose an issue however do be certain to keep a watch for baby's adverse reaction to the possible texture. You may wish to mix the pureed prunes with a beloved food for the first try!

JP, ioio, hahaha. yah. He just asked me for my nickname and password this morning.. said he want to join the forum. so i told him, I will create a nick for him to surf if he wanted to. then he gave me a "duh?!" look. like I don't trust him like that. haha. I was thinking more like he will confuse people with his posts.
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">veniz.. i bought the p.. quite ok, can see the effect if u wear overnight, quite fitting, if u want some with better effect, can get a size smaller than what u r.. but if cannot tahan then get as per it is lor.. the arm one.. i didnt buy but some from first round commented that it leave some marks for quite long and there are some threads coming out after wearing for few times...</font></font>
ioio, isit? I am planning to wear the arm one when I am home over the weekends, and on evenings. I want to get the super guard stockings, but oos, so waiting to see anyone dropping order or not. need to slim down my water retended and fat calves legs, haiz, all these I got them after childbirths.
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">veniz.. i feel that the effect will be better if you apply slimming gel before wearing.. i feel the tummy smaller after wearing for 2 days.. the arm shaper.. the organiser did ask for feedbacks and that what i read lah.. hee...</font></font>
I tot pap smear is once every 2 years? I did mine before I preggy. I thinkdue soon.
As for the vaccine against cervical cancer, I understand from a doc friend that studies show that it is effective for those below 26 years old but not sure about the effect on those above. However, gynaes will still recommend.

K Ong, I don't underestnad enough about a cervical lip to explain it but it's something like the dilation is not 100% becuase there is a little bit of the cervix in the way, so the thing midwives/doctors is to stretch out the "lip" during a contraction during the pushing stage... very painful for me.
Ellysia, try not to prepare purees on weekdays lah. very tiring one leh. no joke. actually, I think it's good to give some homemade stuff once in a while - but of course, not to the extent of tiring ourselves out. I personally find making food cubes for Matthew rather therapeutic. This morning I freaked out a little when I realised he only has 1 broccoli cube and 1 potato cube left. I'll need to get busy tonight liao... mid-week duty.

RE: Pap Smear
When i did mine at the 6wks post-partum checkup, the assistant ask me to come back 1 yr later. So I asked,"will u all remind us?" be it letter or phone call. She says,"No. Perhaps you can remember to do ur Pap Smear when National Day comes." haha... that was a good one cos now it's stuck to my head when to go do it!

Fennie, hurray! Jared will be busy practising his new-found skills liao!
I set up an Obstacle course for jayden last wkend on the bed. Put him on starting point. then halfway to the left, put a teether. then towards the ending edge of the bed on right side, put another teether. Then he will chiong for the midway one then chew chew chew... then chiong towards the further one. If not, I gotta keep on pulling him back to start point. Veri tiring!
