Yea, i got a pair of leg warmings which I didnt want in the first place.

 

[pennytan]

Mummies. Thanks for concern. Really fee glad Claudia is alrite after the fall. Ant that pampers really helps!!

essanna,
I bought a walker for Claudia n she loves it. I bought 2 though. d other one is meant to b put at my auntie's place but i only intend to bring it over when she's 8 mths old. coz i scare later my aunt put her sit on it for long hours.

Many pple dun like the idea of walker due to many of its negative comments. but i grew up on it. juz dun let our little ones sit on it for too long and have someone to watch over her while she's on it.

Trace
Thanks for the info on the Fox Warehouse sale. It's so tempting...hopefully there'll still be good buys left if I go down next weekend.

Penny
Thank God that Claudia is fine... I guess it'll be better to change our babies' diapers on the mattress placed on the floor, just to have a peace of mind.

Mamypoko
Giant having offer - $22.90 per pack instead of $24.

 

[snowy_08]

my baby doesn't know how to do a complete flip yet...sigh....she can only manage a half turn..but strangely she can sit on her own...

 

[dumbolyn]

Thanks mint! got it.

Joanne, just checking, you did the payment through another bank isit?

Springles:
hmm.. actually I thought of getting the food to arrive at 430-5pm. So it's like early dinner timing. Since most ppl (including myself) was late the last time.. hehe

unless anyone else has any comments or has any preferred timing? open to suggestions!!

Nicky
I did feed her once from bottle. That's when I left her at my mum's for a couple of hours. But only one time.

 

[kare2711]

Nicky
I can arrange gathering another day ah.

Forest
Oooh but your SIL still feeds her baby solids right?

 

[pennytan]

rebecca,
Congrats!!! my claudia is elder than Erin but no teeth come out yet. She oso bites when i bf her n i nearly diead from the pain.

karen,forest
I oso intend to bf my bb til 2 yr old. I attended the bfing workshop - Back to work, the volunteer bf her younger child til 2 yr old n she's a working mum as well. WE CAN DO IT!!! but if pregnant wif no. 2, then i'll stop bfing. It also depends on whether our bady can take it or not. Dun give urself too much stress yah!!

kiwi,
yah, i'm so glad tat she's alright. If not, i dunno how to face her daddy.

<font color="aa00aa">Good morning mummies

</font>

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Tried the Heinz bottle-puree (pumpkin &amp; sweetcorn favour) for my gal and she likes it.</font>

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

hi mousebb - my son also likes the bottled type of veg! today going to feed him homemade ones - hope he likes it...keep buying bottles one v exp..$2.1 each!!

 

[dimpletot]

hi mums

Those using healthy times brown rice, do u find that its very different from nestle and Heinz? Need much more scoops.

Cos I put 4-5 tbs and only need 1.5 tbs of ebm to make it right consistency and portion... For the other two, just 2 tbs from the box is enough. Needs 3 tbs of ebm to dissolve the powder tho.

Hand blender
anyone bought philips one? Selling at 80 with chopper at best denki...

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

hi dimpletot, yes the Healthy Times is very light, the full serving for HT is 5tablespoon.

I bot braun handblender - cheap at $49.

 

[kare2711]

Healthy Times
Can I get this anywhere?

 

[lili_fc]

healthy times
Am giving baby try out 2 scoop using enfalac milk scoop. Is same as 2 tablespoon, i measured before.

Dumbo
I will make payment monday evening as bb sick again. Hope she recovers before the gathering.

Mummies
Making apple puree need to peel skin?

 

[lili_fc]

karen
U can get Healthy time from ntuc, cold storage,

 

[clouds_54]

Hi Karen

You can get HT times at selected FairPrice outlets. I bought my first packet at Junction 8 outlet yesterady.

Hey lili

My baby on enfa also. But i thought their spoon is more like teaspoon?

I wld suggestt to peel skin coz me KS, scared got pesticide remains.

 

[kare2711]

Thanks, mummies!

 

[pennytan]

Karen,
Lot 1 NTUC got Healthy times.

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Vanilla
I bought the Heinz ones from KP this afternoon at $1.66 nia. So much cheaper than NTUC finest! </font>

 

[forest]

karen,
yep... she did feed my niece solids too...
in fact, my niece never took FM in her life... she hated it!! hahaha..

Penny,
i think its achievable if working conditions etc allows for it... with my change of job, im doubting if i can continue to pump 3x at work!! at my current workplace, i can still do it as i like cos' my work wise is all in place.. in the new environment, need time to learn their sys plus new work, so it might be really diff leh..

 

[kiwifruit]

Hi mummies
Are there any recommendation on diaper cream apart from Desitin? It doesn't seem to work on my girl's redness.....

 

[pennytan]

forest,
yah, u be starting a new job soon n we dunno abt the condition there. So need more time to adapt to their sys and to continue to pump, it could be a challenge. Actually u had been doing very well in insisting tat Kieran take breastmilk for the 1st 6 mths despite ur supply is not that good. u deserve a pat on ur shoulder!! Well done mummy!!

kiwi,
could it be because of the diaper? some babies are allergy to certain brands of diapers. Mayb a change in diapers will help? I tink the california cream does help.

 

[kiwifruit]

Thanks Penny,
I think there are several types of california cream...wonder if the calendula cream or the diaper rash cream is better.
