hi pinkimum, thanks for alerting!
was worried after reading the article coz my boy's stroller model is listed there. called up motherswork to check immediately they assured me their maclaren models are all made in UK. not US. so its safe. they also added that all SG models are made in UK. but this maybe u girls wanna check with ur individual stores. but just to be safe, i wun let my boy near that thing when i open/close it in future.

Daisybuttons, that said, i think maclaren strollers are distributed by babyhypermart in singapore. So source should be the same. Can I check with u is the short grain rice you use the japanese sushi type? I went to the supermarket and only saw the australian calrose and japanese rice that is shortgrain.

<font face="tahoma"><font color="119911">busy bee,
you're right... moderation is the thing!
my thinking is similar to Daisy...
quoted from Daisy "their kidneys in their first yr is too immature to take salt laden food. theoretically, after 1 yr old, they can have salt in their food, although there's no neccessity to coz normal natural food like pork, cheese already contains natural sodium."
And I prefer them to get these from natural sources. I told my mum not to add anything salt and sauces to Nat's meals. Actually those stock, meat and vege we add in their porridge are making them very tasty! I tried and it's so yummy! hahahahaa
Luckily my mum shares similar thoughts... not my MIL though. She will always offered "goodies" to my kids which I will reject all the time

busybee, u are right. Chris, thanks so much for that number. i was curious why motherswork told me its safe while maclaren is still ordering the repair kits. so i called up the number u provided. apparently, all stores get their maclaren strollers from maclaren singapore (the number chris gave). They are not sure yet whether the batches in SG are the same as the US batches. but just to be safe, they are ordering the repair kits.
Hhhhmmmm....so motherswork wasn't really right in saying theirs made in UK right? since mac sg oredi said its all china.
sigh so confusing. i go pump.

Dun worry mums with the maclaren strollers, get ur repair kits and be vigilant when ur bubs are in the buggy. I'm sure it will be fine.
Cheerbear, i think such whipped potato are made from the instant mix which has salt.

oh well...
i think Maclaren is just trying to be socially responsible.
Or maybe the edges are really too sharp. Or snap too tightly and fast?
I'm using a peg. Difficult to close.

These people have inferior complex. So... using online fake persona to get attention or trying to lead the life the wish they can have.
That's why, never trust 100% wat u see or read online!

<font color="aa00aa">Talking about giving outside food to our kids, I think I'm a very horrible + terrible mummy cos I started to give wenxuan everything before he turns 1. I din want to but then my son is a real fussy eater. We tried all sorts of home cooked food but he refused to eat. In the end I have no choice but give him outside food which he would eat some. At 2 yrs old, he is eating curry chicken and laksa very well. </font>

Lol. I know. I started dat way too. But i hv really met alot of strange ppl from all over the world. Till now, i hv left only 1 whom i hv never met in my whole life. We rarely chat as we were both busy with each other's life and family.
cyber chat world is like a dream. Lots of excitement. It ends when u switch off the pc and u realise u are alone in quiet room.

Cheerbear,
Yap, I did the same as mousebb, that is why I say fishball (cut cut cut) Haha... But hor, still better to try on 小馒头 type of food, so even if they din bite, their saliva would have soften it liao. After a while, children can chew pretty well liao, especially if they have both the top and bottom teeth. Can Shawn eat well with 小馒头?
Now my haolian gal insist on self feeding. She want to hold the french fries herself n bite it off. She dun want us to hold for her.

Buffy:
Bet you didn't see KJ keep attacking the chairs at the back of the class, want to push them around =p Talking about class size, so for your Bibinogs class, there are only 2 kids, excluding me and bigflamingo?
JG/Bigflamingo:
I also thinking of doing a trial, but I read their actual lessons is 3 times a week. Don't think I want to send my boy for class so many times a week if I do sign up in the end. Anyway since busybee said the term is coming to an end, I'll probably wait and see how.
Staccato Music Trial this sat:
Is it still on? Can I join?
Adult food/New Recipes:
Yesterday my boy took adult food meal for the 1st time, as in the whole lunch consisted of adult food (rice, promfret in oyster sauce, stir fried snow peas, chicken and mushroom soup). God knows how much his salt intake that meal. But I try to "kan kai" already. Before this he already tried many things, but a few bites not a full meal like yesterday. Coz this 2,3 weeks he refused to eat the porridge I cooked, so what if its nutritious, healthy and salt-free, he is not gaining from it. But the recipes you mums shared gave me hopes again hee hee. Will try out later. Thanks v much!

My gal is greedy. Except her porridge, she eats everything which she can put into her mouth!!! Last month we went to orchard hotel to celebrate my fil's birthday. At first we were worried that the gal would be making noise and we cannot have the buffet dinner in peace. Who knows she was so quiet throughout the dinner cos we gave her a lot of food and she was so busy eating until she has no time to make noise. My hubby said bring her go eat buffet very "you hua". Hahaha!!!</font>

My naughty gal will sure scream if we refused to give her what she wants. If she is sitting on a high chair, she will scream loud loud. If she is standing on the ground she will put her head on the floor and cry until very cham. That day she just fed herself with a giant biscuit stick. At first my hubby kept saying she still cannot bite and chew properly. In the end she proved him wrong and she even eat faster than her korkor *faint*!!!</font>
