Mummies,
While on the topic of BP organizers, I would like to alert you to this overseas spree organizer by the nick of Jgal. I joined her Ped Egg spree using my alternate nick, KaitlynBaby. Supposed to ask my hubby to meet up with her to self-collect but he couldn't make it. In the end, I opted for normal postage. What happened was I didn't even receive the Ped Egg at all. Not even after waiting for 2 weeks. She claimed that she had posted my Ped Egg already. In the end, I found out that 3 other mummies had their eggs lost as well.

Emailed her and stuff, but she simply bo chup. Kept saying not her fault and all that. I merely requested for her to speak to SingPost to find out what happened. Said there is nothing she can do. Didn't even update on the status of the investigation that she claimed SingPost is doing. Sounds very fishy to me lor. Bought so many things online using normal postage, not once have I lost an item. Somemore there are 3 other mummies whose Ped Eggs are also lost. It's too much of a coincidence. Mummies, please beware when you join her sprees. Please opt for registered mail or self-collection. Dishonest organizer or SingPost's fault, you decide. http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/590029/2507050.html?1246119001

Re: Solid food

How's bernice appetite for meat? Or is she sitll stuck with fish? These days C &amp; C just want Chicken chop.. but I can't give them cos it's too salty even after I washed away all the gravy.. Esp, Cheril.. she simply refused to eat any other food. So no choice, I made my own version of chicken for her.. I shimmer one whole piece of chicken thigh n drumstick with Wolfberry and a tsp of soy sauce.. sometimes with 2 slices of dang shen.. shimmer for about 20 mins until the water almost all gone. Taste almost like chicken chop, just that it's not soo salty but it's sweeter bcos of the wolfberries. C&amp;C can finish both the thigh and drumstick in one serving. on top of it, they also took porridge with finely chopped veggie..

Hi Mommies, Celyn, Dongle,
Kai kenna fever few days ago but stopped liao. Then rashes started appearing all over his body, hands, legs and his face! Thank GOd it was after his photoshoot!

He is normal except the rashes are there forever and all over his face ... like measels ... vv ugly and unglam liao
sad.gif


Any case for concern cos Thu I oredi brought him to see the doc. Until now, the rashes did not subside but still the whole face, body.

Those babies who had it recently, how much rashes and how many days before it subside?
Celyn, u said how many days ah? i forgot.
Hope he can recover latest by Wed ... can or not ah?
 
Mrs Teng,
your gals soo good, can eat so much. Kai only take 1 tablespoon of rice literally. Wonder how to increase his interest in food.
 
shint,
be prepare for it to last 4-5 days. some babies take 1 week. its not itchy. or maybe you try to bring him to chinese medical hall, some uncles there will know how to get some 'herbs/grass' for him to bathe. that's why my babysitter did for yu ze last time. it seems to help.
 
Shint

When Cheril had fever several months ago, she'd rashes after the fever subsided. Remeber was for about 2 days. Tiny red dots all over her body, arms and legs. Esp at the joint areas.

Same goes for Clara who had fever 3 weeks ago. Lasted for 2 days also.

All I did was to keep them cool and by the 3rd day, it was gone liao.


RE: Feeding

Aiyo C&amp;C depends on mood one! sometimes can eat up to 8 tbsp, sometimes just 3 tbsp. these days, they just want rice, soup and meat. Esp the chicken thigh n drumstick.. both can finish the whole thing. They'll have it during lunch n dinner.. Technically, C&amp;C finishes half a chicken in a day.
happy.gif
 
shint,
same, bbJ also had that recently. we bot jin yin hua boil and bathe him. rashes subsided quite fast, around 2-3 days for him.

think by wed, kai should be fine and glam glam looking liao.
 
Mrs Teng,
how are you? better liao bo? family leh?

Feeding
bbJ is allergic to fish - but not sure if eat ok touch not ok or eat not ok touch ok or eat and touch both also not ok. and also i don't know if its for a certain fish or all kind of fish. now got to slowly try and test. don't know if its useful if i bring him to kk for the allergy test or not. fish is like a staple food in our family and its such a shy if he is not able to take fish.
sad.gif
i'm very sad leh. i hope that this is just a childhood allergy and that it will go away. i'm still quite bothered by it.

but otherwise, we are giving him anything he wants - either his food or our food or his elder siblings' food. today he had tamago sushi and ramen and udon - he doesn't like udon. kept spitting out. i think he eats very little meat. and now worst, can't eat fish too!
 
shint
ur one tablespoon is when its uncooked or cooked liao? if its one tablespoon of cooked rice..quite little leh..

kaer is taking one tablespoon of uncooked rice..when cooked..it comes up to 2 bowls of porridge with meat and vege..and she will finish all...

Maybe u want to give kai more meat/vege?? kaer always has chken + fish or(pork+ fish) or (frog leg + chkn or fish)+ 2 / 3 types of vege and scallop in her porridge...so even with one tablesppon of uncooked rice..cook liao become 2 big bowl of porridge...
 
YLN,
your 2 bowls of porridge wih all the hao liao is for one meal or two? if its for two meal, its very good, but if its for one meal, its very very good lor! bbJ cann't take so much yet leh, only one bowl porridge a meal. milk also drink like 150ml only, so i think he is really a small eater. maybe that's why ne never put on any weight for the past 4 months liao.
 
rona
its for one meal..
but kaer like jia liao bee...eat so much , but still skinny skinny..sigh..her foodstuff every week damn shiong on the wallet..:p
 
<font color="#CD3278">Wendy</font>
hahah.. We survived the birthday party or the 1st year as a mommy? hahah

I saw D's bday pix oredi.. So cute!!

On a side note, he looks like he lost some weight.. Too active?

We just had Ashley's party this evening! I'm so glad that it's over.. hahah
 
Rona

If BBJ can take Tamago, he definitely can take fish liao. Cos Tamago got dashi stock in it, which also means dashi is made of kelp and Bonito flakes (Skipjack mackeral). Not sure what is the soup base for the ramen and udon you gave him, once there's dashi in it, means that he's taking fish stock.
happy.gif
Same goes for Chawanmushi. Btw, both chawanmushi and Tamago got Mirin in it hor.

I tried giving them pasta, and they didn't like the sour taste. can forget about giving them tomato based pasta. Will try creamy ones soon.

Verdict of C&amp;C's taste

酸甜苦辣 ~ C&amp;C can take 甜苦辣，cannot take 酸.
sad.gif



YLN

It must have taken you a lot of meat and veggie to yield 2 large bowl of porridge with meat n veggie with one tablespoon of uncooked rice.

I used 1 1/2 tbsp of uncooked rice also cannot yield 2 big bowl leh! Eg:

1 1/2 tbsp uncooked rice
1 chicken thigh n drumstick (cooked already den chopped meat)
1 tbsp cod fish
1 tbsp chopped spinach
1 tbsp chopped pumpkin
Steamed chopped pumpkin and spinach over sliced cod fish with little ikan bilis powder scattered over the veggie. den mashed all together before serving.

All of the above, I just managed to get about 2 medium bowls. But I must say my porridge not the watery type, it's slightly more softer den steamed rice. it's still the whole grain but not broken. C&amp;C loves it that way lor.
 
hello

It's been so long since I wrote here, think since the group PS organised by Ruixuan. I read every now and then. But no time to reply, coz everytime want to reply, you all change topic liao.

Tonight got a bit of time finally.

On the topic of food, I've been very curious lately coz I don't know if my girl under eating. When you girls say one bowl, how big is the bowl huh? I cook about 4 tbs of rice, plus vege (about 2-3 types) plus fish &amp; pork/ or fish &amp; chicken. But the chicken and pork more like flavouring. She takes about half a bowl each time (our normal rice bowl). Is that normal? Or too little? After that she has dessert.

Btw, wanted to say, all your cake looks very, very good Mrs Teng. ^^
 
hi mommies,

need your opinion. we're thinking of getting some sort of bed for jonah that can fit our cramped master bed room. right now, he's sleeping on a bassinet cum playpen which i dun think is very safe. our room can't accommodate a full size cot, which is why jonah is sleeping in his own room on weekdays and only sleeps with us on weekends. i think some of you have cots that are smaller than the usual sized ones? are they any good? i hope to use it for #2 as well in future but it shld at least last for a year or so. i think my bassinet is not meant for 1-yr olds to sleep in, but now not much choice. of course, the other alternative is have jonah sleep on the same bed with us but i dun think he has a lot of space to kick around and we don't want to spoil his sleep cycle since he doesn't bed with us everyday. any suggestion?
 
krex

my suggestion get rid of your bed and everyone sleeps on a king size mattress in a haenim 2x play yard on the floor. that way baby is barricaded safely within and wont go walkabout at night...and everyone is sleeping in the master bedroom

ah hem...that's what im doing
 
tree,
U are a lucky gal. my mensus came back after only 3 mths of BF. But damn zun. More on time den before I was preggy.

Re: Porridge
All of you put alot of effort into bb's porridge. Reading about your recipes make me a very guilty mommy. I only put dried scallops and pork into Velle's porridge. And best of all, hubby and I will eat the same thing as her, except that we add sesame oil and sauce. Today, I added Frog legs so guess that's better... Heheee
 
Mrs Teng,
that means what? but the minute i let him take threadfin (Gor fish), he will get rashes and its itchy and he will scratch himself and the more he scratch himself the more rashes he got. if i cut off the fish, he is ok lor, no ugly rashes etc. how huh? maybe he is allergic to threadfin? ramen, soup base is pork. we went sushi tei tonite lah.
 
Mrs Teng,
Tamago is egg right? just wanna be sure that i wrote the right thing... yah, he can take the normal hard-boiled egg and this egg sushi lor.
 
Shint: looks like Kai is having false mealses? Braiden got that few months ago too... It's not itchy and it will fully disappear in few days time..

littletwinstars: I got the package from hellobee today. Like finally! *phew* :D But no use la.. wanted to save then buy from her, end up I go buy from the party store, which is more ex... Haiz.. Wasted so much money. "(
 


Re: baby meals
Eh.. Braiden doesnt like porridge leh. He prefers rice... or rice with soup.. but not porridge. haha.. Any babies like that also?
