hi Springles - i havent try the pear yet...weekend my boy decide to nap longer so no time to give him fruits...my PD told me not to steam apples and pears cos will destroy the Vit C. v funny my conversation with him
Me

o i steam the apple and pear and puree it?
PD: why steam? Give him fresh.
Me: But they all say must steam or not how? it is too hard?
PD: who is the they? Steam will kill Vit C.
Me: Internet...then how to give?
PD: scrap. Cut half and scrap the flesh and give
So for pear, better to wait for it to soften. Apples v diff...unless u buy those not crunchy type. Today my sis will try pear on him
On playmat - i bot SSW but 12mm cos the dimensions are smaller cos my mum's plc no space. My mum is the lazy one..she say dun use first, let my boy use bed to flip and learn to crawl. So it is sitting at my old room.
Sleeping over - ur daughter is so obedient can sleep thru the nite at ur mum's place...hee hee my mum keep asking me to let my son stay over...she does not know what she is in for! 3am..cry, 4am...cry, 5am...cry...6am cry..7am -- wake up and then dun drink milk.
Milk strike - my son had milk strike 2 weeks ago.. me so worried cos he really so skinny and PD say he must drink min 600ml a day..I have been tracking his feeds and sleep since day 1 due to his condition....Called TMC parentcraft and the nurse mention that bb at 5mths tend to be like that...my colleague say them bitting the teat and pushing it out is cos their gums uncomfortable - they cld be teething soon. my son will suck his pacificer like no tomorrow, when i switch the milk bot in, he will scream his lungs out that there is no tomorrow. So now i "ren" lor milk feed can take 1.5 - 2 hrs..cos for him i need him to drink. I am waiting for 6mths when it is suposed to be growth spurt...
