you can try scotts emulsion that's what i'm giving now since its the brand I took when young. But I also bought Nordic naturals orange flavoured from iherb, its got a lot of good reviews. Yet to try it out though, still got a few spoons of scotts left in my bottle. hmm if you had a dog you can give the original to him... Serious!!!

Tina, aiyoh... usd lah!

 

[aurorin]

tina,
never tried steel cut oats before. Sounds really hard! Does it need to be pre-soaked?

snowger,
Rolled oats cooked already is like porridgy, as long as u add enuff liquid, if not may be lumpy. Not as easily 'dissolved' like quick/instant oats, so i usually cook it. Abit like making porridge with rice. HmMM cut fruits with oats sounds nice. I love it with abit of marple syrup!

 

[ivy1987]

snowger, i want to order the following items

Hugga BEar chocolate 1box $6.60
hugga bear honey 1box $6.60

maple arrowroot 1box $5.60
vanilla arrowroot 1box $5.60

let me know the amount, is there any discount??will collect from you at ur house...

 

[aly_nat]

Hi Mummies,

I'm new to SMH.

I have a tin of unopened Nan 3 HA to be given away. Hb bought the wrong item, our gal drinks the normal Nan 3, without HA.

Throw away very sinful, but cannot exchange from Giant becos by the time we realised, we threw away the receipt liao.

I live in SK, so can hand over the item at Compass Point.

 

[crabbieong]

aurorin
I didnt try pre-soak. But I cook for more than half an hour the texture still rough. Cant tell if it is cook or not

 

[little_rabbit]

snowger,
I want to join the HT spree and will eamil you my orders. Thanks for organising the HT spree and just on time to palce order since my stock is running low...

Jess,
Daniell's food intake is exactly same as my boy and he is on 80% FM+HT cereal since 2 to 3 months back. I used to mix those FM+cereal in his bottle to feed him once he took a few bites and refused to finish the solid food. He's weight is still not exceed 9kgs on his 14 mths now...

 

[aurorin]

tina,

read that you can try to toast the oats before boiling them to cut the cooking time. chk out this website..

http://www.ehow.com/how_2242991_cook-steelcut-oats.html

Hmm sounds nice and nutricious. Will go find when i go back!

 

[aurorin]

tina,

Hmm just saw the link that compared rolled oats and steel cut oats. Seems like steel cut oats are meant to be chewier while rolled oats are more 'gummy' (i guess gooey bah). You can read more here..

http://www.ehow.com/how_2295019_compare-rolled-steel-cut-oats.html

So depends on what type of texture of food your gal prefers?

Stress of being a parent - Quick Survey - help a grad student

Thank you to those who have completed my survey! I have until March 1 to get a few more responses so I can begin my research project. Can you share this with other parents you know? I really appreciate the help and am so excited about studying in your country! The study is to learn more about couple's relationship as they take on the role of parenthood.

The following people are invited to take the 5-minute survey:
* Have you had your first (and only) child in the past six months to 24 months?
* Do you live with the co-parent?
* Is it the first child for both partners?

[crabbieong]

aurorin

[santorini]

Tina

Snowger i wanna order HT, will pm you my orders.

THank you.

 

[snowymum]

aurorin,
If it's like porridge texture then I think my ger is ok (N is especially lazy, despite having teeth).

HT orders:
No probz... just PM me!

I will post the cost of the stuff later.

 

[santorini]

anyone tried Baby's Herbal Garden range of products before?

Are they any good?

 

[snowymum]

Santorini,
I bot the body wash to use. I find that it is normal lar. What do u define by good?

I personally prefer Gaia cos it seems to leave a layer of "mosisturiser"... ;p

 

[santorini]

oh so you think it's not as good as Gaia? have you tried california baby? maybe i shouldnt order then since Gaia is better....?

I like California baby stuff....thought I should try other brands....

 

[snowymum]

Santorini,
It depends on what you like... The range has it's plus points like in terms of the smell is not so strong (could mean less additives) but GAIA claims all natural (so not sure why it smells so nice). The soap is not v thick and easy to lather lar.

I would say that it is not fanatical but I find that Gaia leaves a layer of moisture while the Baby's Herbal Garden range makes her feel really clean (not those harsh n dry type but her skin feels clean, dunno if u know wat I mean)...

If you like the thick thick kind of soap with v strong smell, u might not like the Baby's Herbal Garden range... I buying the shampoo for my little girl to try.

And I nvr try california baby before leh...

 

[jowinbaby]

Have been using Gaia since Ashlynne born... Its good leh.. I am a Gaia supporter.. Plus the mosituriser also good too..

 

[pastillies]

santorini,
i also using califonia , so far sogood,dun intend to change yet leh...
but for IFC,i give them baby sebmed instead to use.

snow: will send u my orders soon! TIA!

Tamms: i give the scotts cod liver oil leh...isst tt the one we tookwhen we were young??

Oats: cookin oats w fresh milk...u mean the cold fresh milk ??

 

[aurorin]

I usually use full cream milk from the fridge. Just warm in the saucepan and stir in the oats till required texture. This is the plain oats porridge.. if you want sweet type, just add in slice banana (after oats are cooked) and abit of marple syrup. Or cooked small cut vegs with the milk before adding the oats.

 

[zachmommy]

santorini, i m using california baby range of product for zach.. i even bought the bubble bath range for him, to play bubbles during bathing time. he love it..hehe
also their citronella (tink it is) for mosquito protection is good!!!
gaia not bad too.. zach used to use gaia when he was younger but after that i switch him to calif baby and i never looked back since.

Snowger,

Pls ignore my order for the herbal garden range, think I will just stick to California baby and Gaia range... It's just that emma's school alot of the babies were using herbal garden so I got curious...


Agree that Gaia is very nice... But it's really quite expensive.... I love California calendula cream and their bubble bath.... I think it's good value for money... I will try their citronella stuff soon.... Thanks for all the feedback...
