Hey mummies long time never log in! Been reading but too lazy to write. How's everybody doing?
Looks like everybody busy planning their baby's 1st birthday. We won't be having a party for D. Apart from hubby's family got nobody to invite as all our friends live quite far away so we'll just have a simple celebration probably take D to the seaside or a park for a picnic. Hopefully the weather will be good.
Hee! Hee! I think I can join the Duracell baby club too. But I desperately need a high speed battery recharger for myself! LOL
Rona/krex I use this method for handsfree pumping. Cheap and good method which practically costs nothing. I think it works well for Ameda and Medela pumps but not the top heavy Avent ones.

I know 5g sounds really little.. haha.. maybe tmw I up the amt and see how he takes to it.
What I do is make little beef balls when I reach home with the minced beef.. and measure out each ball on a kitchen scale. Hee.. Thereafter, freeze.
For now, each meal for my boy consists of the following:
- 1 dinner spoon of uncooked rice (mixed of calrose and brown rice)
- 1-1.5 ice-cube of mixed mashed vege
- Fish / pork / chicken / beef
- 1 ice-cube of fruit puree
What about your (and other moms') bbs?

wendy,
if i cook porridge for yu ze, it will be lunch and dinner.
option 1:
3 chinese soup spoon multigrain rice
2oz baby cube fish
1oz baby cube carrot
2oz brocoli
option 2:
3 chinese soup spoon white rice
2oz baby cube fish/pork
1oz baby cube carrot
1oz sweet corn
2oz brocoli
option 3 (for 1 meal only):
2-3 chinese soup spoon pasta star/estimate amount of mee ta mak
1 tomato (small or medium, chopped)
2oz baby cube fish
1 mushroom (chopped)
1oz baby cube carrot
in between, he will get to drink his milk once or twice depending on his milk craving (80-120ml each), fruits - not always have (1/4 small papaya, 4-5 cherry, etc) excluding his morning and last feed of milk (170-200ml each)
does it look like a lot. this is what he eats on weekends. on weekdays at babysitter's place is definitely more than this.

sylvia,
bbJ will push his food to the front so that his front teeth will be able to chew the food. he loves to chew... initially we thought his two teeth beside the 2 front teeth breaking ground, waited for a month and still see no sign of them...
he is also having simple food menu, have not given him chicken and we don't take beef. so its only fish and veg and some herbs. simple cooking too, fish steam with veg, pork also steam with veg... hahhahhahaa... we give him a little soup (minus the salt, that means we take out his soup first then add salt into the soup for us) everyday.

Soups are easy & surprisingly flavourful even w/o salt
You can have watercress + pork; carrot + potato + pork/chix + onion.. They are fuss free & yummy!
Sometimes when I give Ashley potato + carrot, the stock tt results is frozen for future use

When I give her watercress in her porridge, it's just the leaves.. But I throw in the stem to add more flavour + nutrients
I;ve not intro her to soup yet coz I hardly cook, only for her meals, so I do think if I were to cook it, she wld just get to have the soup

https://www.babybonus.gov.sg/bbss/html/index.html
yu ze is born on 8 aug, so he missed out on this.

<font color="aa00aa"><font size="+1">Hi mummies, just want to share a very good book on introducing semi-solids. This book was like my 'bible' when I was introducing solids to my son.
Although your child may have already started on solids, this books offers lots of recipes for toddlers too! My son is 2yo now and I'm still using this book for recipes to add variety into my son's diet!
It has basic nutrition information (good for mummies who are clueless), feeding schedules & appropriate foods to introduce at different age groups, tonnes of yummy and fun recipes, money and time saving tips, etc etc!
You can read more about this book here: www.superbabyfood.com
I'm selling it for $28.90 include registered mail. Brand new copies, latest edition (2nd edition).
If you want to take a look at the book before commiting to purchase, I welcome you to my place at Punggol to take a look at the book before deciding. Alternatively, you can go to borders to check out the book. I'm selling cheaper than Borders bcos I ordered these online in bulk during my private sprees to save on shipping costs.
Do email me at [email protected] if keen. Thanks!</font></font>

doidy cup:
looks nice. feel tempted to get but i've a feeling it'll be another white elephant. jonah hasn't even mastered straw cup and all my other spout cups have gone to waste. think he doesn't like it coz' very hard to get water out. he prefers drinking from plastic cup though there's a lot of spillage. btw, how to teach bb to drink from straw cup. it's an action that can't be taught leh. even demonstrate also a bit hard.
btw, those of you who are weaning bb from bottle into cup, do u plan to give milk in a cup also? most of these cups hold very little water. does that mean you'll give 2 cups worth of milk?

History, Rona, Sylvia and Wendy
C & C have been have the following for the past 2 weeks. In variations.
Lunch:
Minced pork, egg yolk, spinach or watercress with couscous
Sometimes I substitute with Threadfin.
stir minced meat in cold pork stock
Add ikan bilis powder (optional)
Bring to boil
Beat egg yolk and pour in boiling stock, stir continuously.
Add in chopped spinach or watercress.
Add in soaked couscous and bring to boil. (Add margarine to give a creamy taste)
I also add blended brown rice porridge (in separate bowl) to give a creamy texture for C & C.
Dinner : Cod fish, Egg yolk, spinach or any other veggie with meesua.
Cut meesua into small bits (Tips: use a huge plastic bag, cut inside, so that it won't cos a mess)
Boil thinly sliced cod fish in pork stock, remove and mash with back of a fork.
Beat egg yolk and pull into stock to make egg flower drops.
Add chopped spinach or any veggie
Add meesua can cook. Make sure there is sufficient liquid (but not too much) bcos meesua will absorb lots of liquid. All the nutrients are absorbed into the meesua.
Pour the mashed cod fish flakes back and be ready to serve.
Both C & C loves meesua. Always finishes everything.
Sometimes, I use Black bean pork ribs soup to make the meesua, in this case, I'll only add cod fish and egg drops. Won't add any veggie.
Hope this give u some ideas

My MIL gets from the market nearer to the Buona Vista MRT (not the other one within HV), and it's the cheapest I've heard.. My place can range between 40-50/kg, hers is abt 30ish..
She also adds tt buying on weekends, prices are higher..
<font color="#CD3278">Mrs Teng</font>
I love meesua & want to intro to Ashley, but my mum is a bit hesitant coz most meesua have salt content.. Which brand do u give C & C?
