Most likely my hubby, cos I'm a dry duckie.
Doesn't matter right?
Haru: Thanks for the info
Kash: Swim Pants >
Alamak, No need lah, I bought one pack. If you are keen, I can pass one to you, maybe on one of those HFC gathering?.
Size is 3-4, for babies 7-15 kg (blue colour pack), should be ok right?

re: swimming
as the pool at portsdown has a heater (water temp will be regulated) so some babies can do without a wetsuit. however would still recommend using water diaper (to prevent lil poopy accidents, =P) and maybe a sunsuit or wetsuit. do bring along extra towels so you have one for quick wrap right after coming out from pool and another for after shower. =)

Vaccinations
I cannot say that I am an expert on vaccinations.. but I do understand that the link between autism and MMR vaccines has been proven to be weak (but dont take my word for it, i heard it from a friend who works in the pharma industry). I think mommies should do their own proper research through checking out scientific trials or studies done on the vaccines. If you google autism and link, you can find a thousand things that has been linked to autism ie pesticides, size of baby's head etc., but such statements should at least be verified by a scientific evidence ie a good decent size trial lasting for several years. Lastly if it helps, most of the pharma companies are working towards making all vaccines mercury free. If mommies are really worried, you have a right to ask your paed for evidence that the vaccine is safe/pass you clinical papers to read and gauge for yourself. I for one am too lazy but maybe our Professor Bear can throw up a couple of good research to see what are the pros/cons of vaccinations!
Haru/Kash/Bear/Pumping while driving
I use a medala freestyle (but have done it using a medala PIS before). I attach the cups to my boobs, switch on my pump, put on my seatbelt, and start driving!! I admit sometimes I would have to put my arms across the 2 funnels to keep it in place. But when I am wearing a fitted nursing top, a nursing bra (preferably those that are almost fully covered except for a modest hole) and make sure I adjust it properly after it is switched on, the funnels would be able to stand on its' own. The freestyle also has a handsfree function which i dont use but I am sure it'd be very helpful if you wanna pump and drive (i hope it is not illegal to pump and drive!! oops!!) It takes about 15 -20 mins for me to drive to work so just nice for 1 pumping session. Saves me a lot of time and is more private/hygenic than pumping in the nursing room/toilet.
Mommies,
I am going to belgium this weekend. Stopover at Frankfurt/Amsterdam airport. Is there anything nice to buy in the airports?!?! Also if mommies want anything lemme know i can tompang back.

I LOVE MY DOIDIES!! I can see what Kaitlyn is drinking and it is so much easier to use than a normal cup! She loves it.. always trying to grab it from me! When she drinks from it, she is like a mini-adult! =))
Teat
Kaitlyn is still drinking from a size 1 teat for Avent. Is this normal? Should I have changed it to size 2???

Thanks ladies
How do you prepare the puree? I din get any blender so everything is kinda manual for me, but i'm not sure if i'm doing it right.
For pumpkin and apple, both is steamed and then mashed up.
Today i tried brown rice, i added some formula + mix into the HB brown rice, he's also not interested. *pulls hair*</font>

Blessedmum, Fifi, have approved u. Rem to pls intro urself on the Wall.
Aden's mum, research has shown that a baby need 15-21 instances of trying out new food before they develop like/dislike of the food. "an infant between 15-21 instances of trying out a (new) food before a true like or dislike is established. If you are just beginning to introduce solid foods, you really will not be able to determine if your baby has a true dislike for a food until much later. In the initial stages of solid food introduction, you will be met with funny faces as your baby tries to understand the textures and taste of the new foods. These funny faces, and even a refusal to open ones mouth for a feeding, do not necessarily indicate a dislike for a food. Remember, baby has been accustomed to nothing but breast and/or bottle for 6 months; putting a new object (spoon) full of a new substance (sweet potato) into his mouth is probably quite disconcerting!" as quoted from Wholesomebabyfood.com. i dun think Aden doesn't it like. he just needs to get use to the whole idea.

Re: immunisation linked to autism
This is something i have heard abt but have not research deep into this area. The link Mummy2nia showed pretty much covers everything. I need to think a bit deeper before i decide if i want to delay Z's immunisation.

^waves* thanks for explaining! I guess i'll have to try another 14-20 times more
The PD advised that baby shld be taking 6oz of cereal 2x a day. So how to determind 6oz? I just started him at 6.5mths daily on rice cereals, which is abt 4tsp with abt 100ml of water. so the cereal is kinda paste-ty.. </font>

Aden,
Yes,you hav to keep on trying.And when bb giving a vomit face,doesnt mean he dun like it.He jus not use to the taste.If he refuses to open his mouth,then try again next week
It is not neccessary a must to giv 6oz cereal 2X a day.Is jus a guide line and it all depend on hw much your bb willing to take in also.
Look at the label and see wat is the recommended amt to be serve for the cereal you are giving.
From my experience with diff brands of cereal,it is nt neccessary abt 5-6tablespoons.
Eg healthy times, 8tablespoons = 5tablespoons of heniz.
So jus go with the flow on hw much your bb wants to take in.
Rememeber not to force your bb to eat if he do not want to.Introducing food should be a FUN thing and not a Must thing for the baby.
