heee...i use california baby. spf15 only. actually i read in some recent mag report that says even if you get spf120, it only offers 10 to 20% more protection than spf50...so dun need too high, just dun stay in the sun too much. but it's good to put it when they are out coz of harmful uv rays..kekekek...

For the ikan billis powder, best is buy the small silver fish from Japan (chinese pronounce as Yin Yu).
1)Rise the fish in water to get rid of the salt.
2)Dry it with the kitchen roll.
3)Heat up ur non stick wok or pan then put in the "Yin Yu" using slow fire kept stiring it till all "Yin Yu" turn crispy n golden brown in colour.
4)Grind or pound the fishes into powder form n keep them in an air tight container, then its
ready to use any time u need.

Endo brand? Okok, I will keep a lookout
Btw, wat kind of food jar thermal did u buy? I went to Taka and saw that there are many kind.
Some is purely put soup/porridge, and others can put like majiam like rice + 2 dishes (as in got compartment)
But I dunno which one is more ‘practical’ loh
To buy one purely storage of porridge or with compartment… I cannot forsee what I will feed my child next time whne he grows up

Hello Cutiegal,
Mine is not from Eu yan seng though.. but I have the brownrice mixed with si seng power. (Brownrice had to be washed before it's being grind into power form)
Basically, just mix the power with water, and boil it for 3-5mins. Then serve when it's cool.
I tried cooking breastmilk once before (in replacement of water) when I was steaming fish.. but it doesnt work out well. Breastmilk once boiled, has a VERY "rusty / fishy" taste/smell.

we tried the mustela sunscreen but i rem it was very very thick wor. had difficulty properly applying it on their faces.
organic eggs from cold storage. get form their dairy shelf (cooler dep), not the normal egg shelf. btw organic eggs will make you wanna eat it too..when you hardboil egg, the outcome is always a very yummy looking orangey yellowish core. try it...egg yolk should be fine, just dun give him egg white.

thermal jars...
the Tiger brand of thermal jars are very popular with mothers feeding porridge. it can keep hot for many hours and can even cook porridge for you. just boil for five minutes rice and ingredients then dump into the tiger flask and a few hours later you have nice glooey porridge for you lil one.
of course another question is how long you'll be needing a porridge jar?how particular you are about feeding your bb and toddler to be outside food?if you get those multi tier ones, they are really good at keeping food warm and rice and porridge and soup, but by then many todds will be eating outside food liaoz.for me i got the multi tiered one as i can use it for ch's porridge and then cook rice and soup and dish for cy (my toddler)...so yes how many kids do you intend to have and their age gap...
cutiegal
cannot cook breastmilk. the nutrients does not survive high temp...

I brought the small unit only for porridge n soup.
Sarah
Using for quite sometime, no rust. Maybe ur friend did not totally dry it before she kept it.
Cutiegal
I brought the "Rabbit brand" instant brownrice mixed with si seng powder for my boy. He finishes three boxes, now the fourth box.

lilboymum: eh...we still haven't arranged to meet! hehe. yah! the mustela one is gooey and hard to apply on face. So thinking of buying CBB no fragrance sunscreen. You used that one before? Someone on this thread selling it for q ok price. think for 24 bucks. So thought of getting it along w the calendula.
Annteo: Hmm. Maybe she didn't dry it properly. How is the Rabbit Brand brown rice? Is it tasty? How much does your boy take each feed?
TIGER: I have one tt was given to me. But it's rather small. So still can use it to cook my porridge?
ANYONE LIVING IN EAST KEEN ON MEET-UP? Perhaps at the new Tampines 1?

hey l'l cy and saraymay, thanks for ur advice.
i guess his sensitive nose flared up bcos his main caregiver recently moved hse. so he's in a new hse with plenty of unpacking activity going on. it has since subsided and he has resumed a smiley personality
had wanted to bring him to see PD. but on the sat morn itself, his mucus stopped, so no pt seeing PD w/o any symptoms to show. who knows, that afternoon, mucus started flowing again!

Millie,
Good to hear that Alston is cleared from eczema!!!
Now that he's cleared, must moisturised him more often to prevent recurrence.

Skinny Pig,
Ya ya...i'm using the emulsifying ointment to act as soap during bath time. When this is used up, i may try QV bath oil. In any case, emulsifying ointment is very gd as it's very oily and can be used as moisturiser too.

so far, everything i cooked, i used steaming until they are soft (20-30mins)... like quite bad, meaning all the vitamins died?
porridge only cooked with chicken, fish or pork so tat porridge will get the taste and also so nutrients go in. Cos actually my gal prefer plain porridge and very fussy. at times vegetables / fruits if i mix with porridge, she refuse to eat tat means whole meal gone. Also i read somewhere tat we shldnt mash everything so tat at least tat can tell wat they are eating - and we are supposed to go:" here is the carrot etc..."
