MUMMIES, HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Mousebb, your WM can stand up and call papa already. That's fast. Is she 7 months old already? My gal still cannot sit upright without support but has been crawling in all directions and shaking her bums!
Yah man, raining so heavily at my place too. But still need to go out buy my girl her milk powder. Ask mummies here whose babies are on FM, what brands are you giving your babies? My girl is now on enfa and this brand is the most expensive I realise! Thinking if all brands are actually similar. My fren's baby surviving equally well on Mamex gold and it cost 2/3 or less of the price of enfa. She was telling me all brands are the same.
Re: Motherhood - Hmm... I have learnt more about milk powder and diapers?? Haha.... used to scratch my head standing in front of the supermarket shelves trying to figure out what'e the difference. Haha.
Most importantly, I hv learnt to take my work easy. Used to get frustrated and irritated easily at work when things go wrong. Now....whatever, nothing matters more than going home at 6pm to see my girl.

Hi mommies,
Happy Mum's Day! Yesterday's thunderstorm gave Regina a scare and she woke up crying. Poor thing. When I carried her, she babbled away like telling me something about the storm probably (my imagination on what she's trying to say... hahaha!)

Ruffles,

Thanks, I'll continue to feed her with sweet potatoes then, since it doesn't cause constipation. Will try to give her more water periodically.

If the redness is bright red, it may be fungal infection. Does the redness spread to the area around her outer vaginal? My gal had that and PD told me it's fungal infection as the bum area hardly get aired. Was given a type of purple wash and Daktarin powder to apply. It became better after awhile. Maybe you can check with the doc.

Jus to share-fr The New Paper today:
Which is healthier? Cheeseburger or baby food?
By Ho Lian-Yi
WHAT'S a better snack for your kid - one designed for children like Baby Balance Berry Bear Biscuits or "junk food" like a bite of a cheeseburger? The answer may surprise you.
A study of 107 foods marketed for babies and young children in British supermarkets in March by the Children's Food Campaign (CFC), a British pressure group, found that only half of the products surveyed were low in saturated fat, salt and sugar.
The CFC is supported by more than 300 British health organisations and 12,000 members of the public, reported The Guardian.
And while most of these food may not be available in Singapore, the survey results may prompt parents here to take a closer look at the labels of the baby foods here before they buy them.
The CFC survey said that some baby foods they tested contained more sugar and saturated fats than chocolate biscuits and cheeseburgers.
While it did not name all the food items it found to be less healthy, the CFC said Baby Balance Bear biscuits (made by UK-based Cow & Gate) was one that contained trans fats - which has been linked to heart disease.
The CFC survey also found that Heinz Farley's Toddler's Own Mini Cheese Biscuits had 7g per 100g of saturated fat. The CFC compared this to McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese burger, which had 6.7g of saturated fat per 100g.
Another one on the list is Farley's Original Rusks by Heinz, a kind of biscuit used for weaning. It had 29g of sugar per 100g, while the same weight of McVitie's Chocolate Digestives have only 27.4g.
CFC spokesman Christine Haigh called the results "staggering".
She said: "Many foods marketed for babies and young children are advertised as healthy. In reality, in terms of sugar and saturated fat content, some are worse than junk food."
At least one of the products named, Farley's Rusks, may be available in Singapore, though it was out of stock at supermarkets we checked yesterday.
The more common product here, Heinz Teething Rusks, had 3.4g of sugar per 100g, according to its label.
In response to the findings, Cow & Gate stopped production of the biscuits found to contain trans fats.
However, Heinz's corporate affairs director Nigel Dickie told London's Daily Mail that its Farley's Rusks were enriched with vitamins and minerals, and an alternative with 30 per cent less sugar was available in England.
Heinz also called the comparison of its cheese biscuits, which contain just 1.8g of saturated fat per portion, with the burger, which contains 13g per portion, misleading.
When told of the survey, some Singaporean mums said they weren't too worried about it.
Madam Karen Chen, 28, who has a one-month old daughter, said she wasn't too concerned with it just as long as the foods don't pose a hazard like melamine.
"Kids are young, they have high metabolism - they'll burn off the fats and sugary stuff," she said.
Others, like Madam Cynthia Lee, 32, a housewife with a 2-week old son, said she was concerned.
"I'll probably go for organic food to start off with rather than things off the shelf, just to be on the safe side," she said.
What do Singaporean nutritionists say about the findings?
Processed food
Ms Jenny Goh, senior nutritionist at Fitness and Health International, was not surprised.
"Baby food should always come from natural food.
Processed food comes with a lot of unnecessary ingredients, like sugar, salt, fats, even food preservatives, and parents should always read the labels," she said.
Instead of buying biscuits for a weaning baby, she recommended small pieces of apples, oranges or mashed potatoes.
However, Ms Ann Selina Chang, a dietician at The Nutrition Place, said the survey was a little misleading, since babies hardly ever eat anything in quantities similar to a burger.
She said it's okay to feed the children baby biscuits - but only as a treat, to be given only after a proper meal.
She said: "You don't want to let babies to get used to sugary foods, of course, but as long its not the bulk of the diet it's fine."

for the fruit juice and cereal, it's to give to bb separately? not mixed together right?
I tried tasting gerber fruit juice, it's so sweet... do I have to mix it w any water to dilute it?

xy and other mums who bought the ladybird toy from taka bb fair
Do yr kids like the crawling toy? I just opened it since kate seems interested in crawling now. Turns out she's scared of it haha! Think first time she's seeing something that can move by itself. And maybe the buzz buzz vibration when it touches her. I love it but she really doesn't like it... her expression is so cute and she will turn to grab my arm.
