[tracee]

r&amp;r,

u shld b glad leh! haha..
go lunch wif boss dun hv to look at my watch mah...haha..go out with u, hv to look at watch

 

[dumbolyn]

Rebecca,
Haha ok.. Think he just wants you to have fun and meet more ppl la... hubby also ask me to meet up more often.. learn from each other too.

RibenaLi,
That was the plan.. cos we had over 30 "potential participants".. so I ordered for 28. as for now we have confirmed 25.. I've searched around a number of caterers. those with that cater to less ppl for low price are not very well received. otherwise its too ex.. this is an in-between menu.. most of the more popular caterers cater to at least 30 pax.

 

[nickypower]

Ribena- Heeeof cos I know tat one is Enya mummy with her 2 pretty kids... Tot is El is ur fren...;p

El- Heee oops ok..... ;p *keke*

 

[annetan84]

rebecca,
haha.. you're right!!!

 

[dimpletot]

maybe next time we can each bring like $12 worth of food... Like 12 curry puffs, cut up to share etc. End up with $12 x number of people. Sure enough food that way. I dont think I could eat $12 worth of tea time food! But more hassle la. Not everyone can manage kids plus bag of food.

Thanks dumbo for org food-- not easy!

 

[pennytan]

Dumbo,
yah, tink 30 is the min. if not its gg to cost us a lot. Thanks for ur help!!

tweety,
Yah, i let her sleep yao lan coz previous she only nap for 30mins everytime and she will fuss a lot. My life becomes better with yao lan. Nite time, i'll let her latch to sleep. And she will shake her head till giddy then will sleep. hee...

Woo... cant wait till sat!!!

Taka gathering

mummies
Thinking to start with bb:
healthy time organic brown rice cereal ?
Heinz bb rice cereal?
Nestle brown rice cereal?

when can start? which one?

 

[dumbolyn]

lili,
can try frisocrem for 4-6mth. it's the yellow coloured tin.
can try bellamy's rice cereal also.. for 4 mths up.

 

[lili_fc]

dumbo
frisocream - heard vy heaty
have you start yet?

 

[matsu]

<font color="0077aa">most of u starting your bb on cereal liao? hmm...m thinking of starting later abt 6~8mths.</font>

 

[lili_fc]

jjmom
i hvn't. not sure when also.

Enfalac
Who will continue to give bb Enfalac stage 1 after 6mths or give Enfalac stage 2

 

[dumbolyn]

lili,
nope.. just got it today. think will start tmr.
hearty give water lo.. hehe. my colleague's son likes it. so im gonna try.

 

[kare2711]

jjmom
I'm not. Going to start when bb is 7-8 months. Even so, going to start really very slowly, and start with food like banana. Not giving cereal until ... don't know when too.

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">JJmom
I havent too. Intend to wait till my gal is 6 months. </font>

 

[whitepaper]

Yups I haven't started too. Read from many sources that it is best for babies to be on a solely BM or FM diet for the 1st 6 months.

 

[dumbolyn]

pd told me to start.. i didnt want to start so soon either.. but den MIL keep asking me when i wanna start.. and then the other day she went to the pd with me.. so she got the reaffirmation that can start solids.. hope to drag till 5 mths at least.. bring the tin home n hide it first.. haha

 

[nickypower]

Me too think will start her at least when she's 5-6mths old...
Btw mummies, for those bb on total bm one, do u feed them with water orie?
Though I haven, but I scare later if start feeding them with water, they will reject leh.. ;p
