Babyzel, ya there is only so much we can do to stop the elders from feeding our bbs the wrong stuff. we can't be there 24/7 to watch over our bbs like hawks. I guess if my PILs didn't ask if they can feed solids to Z and went ahead to feed, I wouldn't be as mad as if they asked and I said no, but they still went ahead to feed. Get wat i mean? MIL sees that i m so allergenic so she is also scared that Z will suffer from allergies like me. in that way she dun dare to anyhow feed. Also she knows i dun mince my words if i m unhappy.. my face super black and i will tell her off, erm, nicely, if i can.. haha..
Lilian, oh it happened a few times liao.. i complain to hb, hb tell MIL off. there are times MIL will say, 'wah so small thing also tell u ah". what she deems as small was actually telling me to change to formula. then she followed on to say next time she won't tell me again but guess wat she does it time and time again.. hear liao super irritating.
Blessedmum, would advice u NOT to bring ur gal to a public pool until all her immunisation has been done. U can choose to go for SAFRA clubs' pools cos i think they have warm water. Otherwise dry Evan then bring home to bathe. Cos i feel we need to bring quite a lot of warm water to make sure the bathe water is warm. Oh ya, Fifi is organising a spree for thermal swimwear. U shd get it for ur gal. without thermal swimwear, according to Happy and Mildy, bbs will be cold abt 15mins. with thermal they can last abt 45mins.
in my opinion, thermal is necessary for the first yr only.. aft that UV swimwear is more critical.
Spin, forgot to reply to ur post. Ya only when the bb's head is stable then can feed solids. if bb's head is nodding right and left, front and back, means not ready yet. Nowadays my boy can sit on his own, without support, without chair or bumbo. Yesterday when i spoonfed him milk, he also has no more tongue thrust reflex, but again i m not feeding him solids till 6 mths.. he hasn't even reach 5 mths!
