happy mummy,
jonah is quite active in the sense that he likes to explore, kick a lot and bang/ hit things. i think it's normal for bbs to be active, esp boys, heh.
hisstory,
my hb was furious that the bk said most bbs will not cry for more than 30 mins, and jonah cried for a good 45 mins, then puked. i think that was the final straw for him. prob won't advise him to try CIO method unless i can be around to control the situation. maybe past 1 year, when i'm not pumping milk already???
mrs teng,
is threadfin the best fish to intro to bb? cod fish and salmon too high in mercury rite? is it ex? i remember my CL buying "ngor he" during my confinement and it seems to be even more ex than cod fish!!!
celyn,

Threadfin is one of the expensive fish around. Cod is cheaper.. it give a buttery taste, so some babies may like it. Salmon is partially cultured before they are release back to the sea.. So I dun quite fancy giving it to babies yet. Talking about mercury, while there's a lot of theory about it. But I based my judgement from my FIL who is a Marine Biologist, he said that contain of fish mercury is definitely there no matter what fish it may be, but most importantly, the zone where the fish inhibits.. Those caught near industrial countries will have more mercury bcos water there have high destiny of mercury. And those fishes that inhibits deeper in the sea of high density mercury will have even more (same goes for other fishes in deep sea, no matter how dense it may be) The same principle applies for lead.
So always, ask where the fish is from.. For me, I won't buy those Seabass that were cultured by the singapore fish farm in those southern islands.
History
I've got no clue what's the diff between sharp and round spinach.. I guess it's the color of the leaves. sharp ones seemed darker which I believe should be slightly more bitter and more iron contain kua!

Mrs Teng,
Thanks for sharing! I do give her water but not as much as 100ml a day. Maybe 20-30ml? But because i still latch her as and when she demands n i try to add more water in her food to make up for it. She is very sturborn. When i give her sippy cup, she will drink very fast n end up coughing. When i spoonfeed her water, she will end up "gurgling" with the water. Worst if i try bottles. She will shut her mouth tight.
Krex,
Yah, like wat Mrs Teng says Threadfin is very expensive. But its one of the best fish to give babies. For one, its fresh even aft freezing. And its in the same family as Salmon n Cod - Lower in mercury content. For Salmon and cod fish, you can't keep them for too long. I take a pc of salmon n threadfin every day. Threadfin can freeze up to 2weeks without a fishy smell. But salmon can only keep up to abt 4days ard there even after freezing.
Celyn / RX,
I am in the same situation as u. Kitlyn takes a lot of milk and her solid intake is increasing but she is still ard 7kg at 7mths. Ht worst - 63cm, 3rd percentile. Even PD commented she was short! Her head circumfrance aso small small . Many times pple will comment she looks 4mths old only. I so sad. She is also alot smaller den some of my friend's babies who are younger. PD say it could be genetic coz me n hubb small to begin with. OR it could b she is sooooo energetic.
Celyn,
Nobody chop mabbe your Yu Ze can partner with my Kitlyn ler. Some more same size hrhr.

Celyn,
Thats what pple tell me too. Good for a girl to be petite. I think, the only consolation is that their size now doesnt determine their size when they grow up. I guess since u feeding Yu Ze well, dont' be too stress abt his size. Hopefully he will catch up? Most impt is he is healthy and developmentally good

Any mommies brot their babies to the zoo yet? Was thinking of doing so but wonder if they will b too young to enjoy such outings.
Today brought baby swimming in the morning, she didn't quite like it leh
Wonder if shd've brought her in the evening instead, but yday evening was drizzling abit and we didn't get back in time to bring her.
Celyn,
YZ looks v gd in all the photos! haha that pic u showed w 2 boys, one of them is your hb?
Later I go FB see the photos
RE: height and weight
I think your boy and Ruixuan's SL ok lah...
My hb complaining my girl grew fatter, cos he saw her tummy pop out. I say it's cos the diaper put around her tummy is tight, that's why... But he kept saying she's too fat liao, say fat babies no gd...
I think just measured her, she's about 69-70cm but she definitely at least 8kg two weeks ago. Not duno how heavy, cos I didn't get to weigh her.
Busy busy day.... Later still gota go down to new place and talk to electrician...
sylvia,
Your Pigeon snacks w me, I've smsed u too. let me knw when and where u want to collect ya?

strawberry,
I think it's gd to bring them anywhere, not necessarily zoo. Else later coop inside house too long also no gd.
As for the zoo, think u can expose her to the animals. U will be surprised, the more u expose them, the better they will remember. Though I've not brought Chevelle to the zoo yet.

Val,
I agree with you. They are very smart. We bring her out every weekend so now when i carry her, take her bag n keys she will get very very excited. Like she knows we going out. Just like when i turn on the tv switch infront of her, she will know i m gg to let her watch bb tv. I wanna bring her to zoo but my hb says she too young? Bringing her to sentosa for pinic on good friday hope it doesnt rain.

Hey ladies
Quick one.. we're in Kota Kinabalu now
Strawberry
Thanks for the FIRST FOODS info. Will check with my sis when we return to SG on Tues.
Will read more and post more when i have time. David napping now.. we brought him swimming in the morning. He loved it but didn't like shower time. Maybe cos the tub too big. I sat with him in it and yet he was still so insecure. Then cried all the way from then to toweling dry.. to putting on of clothes. Until I gave my boob then he settled and zzz...
Take care moms..
I should rest too.

strawberry,
yah, he is healthy and developing well. that's why the last round of check, pd didn't say much for his size. she say since he is developing well, it is ok.
i'm thinking of bringing him to zoo soon. will sign up for their membership too then can go very often. heheh....
babysitter says he is very excited over animal (maybe its just horse). babysitter will bring another boy that she looks after for horse riding therapy so yu ze will follow also. when yu ze sees that gor gor went up the horse and gone, he keep 'calling' as if saying he hasn't go up the horse yet, must wait for him. everyone there was laughing at him. since he is not afraid of big animal like horse, then i think can bring him to see liao.
valnsw,
you see even your girl is bigger than him. yah, the other boy is my hubby. hahaha.... yesterday, he came back and dig out that pic to show me.
happy mummy,
yah, let adel join the queue to look for petite girlfriend. hehehe.... you mean adel drink 220ml every 2.5 hours? that's a lot leh. how is his solid intake? he drink bm or fm?

Adel on 6 scoops of Friso plus NAN. Solid only once a day. Cereal, brown rice porridge or fish porridge, depends.
Adel's gf is already beauty queen Alliver leh ! Matched them up during our meeting at Vone's place. Not sure if now Alliver bigger than him or not ? kekeke........
Mrs Teng,
Thanks for sharing tips on cooking and the fish type yesterday. Today, I boiled ikan bilis soup, put the rice in together with the soup and the ikan bilis, then put the fish and spinach in. Blended them together and gave it to Adel. He seemed to enjoy it. Tonight will try one more round. Very happy that he could take to the taste cause i am one lazy mum, jiust blended the ikan bilis together instead of making it into powder. I asked HB , he said same concept! ! hahahaa...
Strawberry,
I brought Adel to the zoo when he was about 4 months. He looked looked then slept. Most of the time, the adults were looking at the animals. Can lah, if you really want to bring your baby. Just remember to bring the fan !

Think if u've got more tolerance for the crying than ur hb, then u implement.. My hb's better at it than i am, also coz he's the one who tucks her to sleep
But start as early as possible, seems sleep training is more effective this way..

heehee.. Deliberating on the colour now.. hee
Must show us Jac's PS pix in this skirt k? Must be really pretty

Wow, i thought Ngor He not very exp.. Didn't even know it's one of the more exp fish around
Gave Ashley the sharp spinach yday, didn't reject *phew* I ate the extras, thankfully not bitter.. heheh

Have lots of fun at ur trip.. Must show us pix of David when u get back k?

Adel can't have the correct scoops as he constipates and refuses to drink water. So PD say another way is to dilute lor... bo bian.

Good to hear that Adel enjoys the porridge. Great job!
Re: Ikan Bilis
I supposed the reason why most mums dun put the whole ikan bilis into the porridge is becos they dun blend the porridge, but even if they do, there is a possibility that parts of the ikan bilis is not properly blended. This would cos irritation in baby's throat and he will cough n cough until it becomes sore or he may just cry bcos of discomfort. Ikan bilis powder is so fine that we are certainly sure that there's no tiny bone from the ikan bilis. Remember to blend thoroughly if you prefer your method..
Do you stay in Punggol? If yes, next time I make ikan bilis powder, can pass you some..
History
Glad that Ashley enjoys her spinach porridge... you actually cooked a lot of spinach or just a few leaves of the spinach? As you can see, the portion I used if for 2 gals... and they take almost everyday, so I dun use too much.. I store the rest that are unused. Saw my pic?
They have taken chicken porridge for 2 days, they seemed okay with it so will be trying out asparagus tomorrow.. hope they can take it. Tonite will be gor hu porridge with ikan bilis powder, carrot and sweetcorn. As my gals dun like the sweetcorn being blended into the porridge, I used half a comb of sweetcorn and cook porridge, den I remove before blending the porridge.. tasted it myself, ummmm quite sweet leh..
Porridge with sweetcorn removed (not blended yet)
The yellow n white sweetcorn, very sweet

Mrs Teng,
I did the same thing too! I actually liked the porridge myself. Only difference is i did put the sweet corn in (after blending). Nowadays, I have to eat whatever i cook for her because its so hard to cook their small portion so i cook abit more as my lunch. oh well...
