Mercs, were you at the fair yesterday? I was there, how come I never see you! Yup I agree Nestle have good offer and this will be their last fair for this year. But there's nothing much at the fair, except the Poney booth. I bought quite a few clothes and manage to buy jeans for $4.
Piyo, regarding gymboree class, do you think its better to let baby go when they start crawling? Though I really wana go to class with mummies in this thread, but it may seem abit early to let baby go now
Ni, Kyan started IFC already, that's fast!
Don't worry too much okay? Don't be sad and look at the positive side! Baby will be more independent and hopefully more sociable and most likely we don't have to go through the "separation anxiety" phase when they start nursury/kindergarden. If you have any questions, just ask the teachers or us okie? Hope Kyan have fun going to school too! Too bad we don't stay very near each other, else all our babies can attend IFC together.
Speaking of shopping, since baby is born, I overspend every month. How to resists buying stuff for baby hor? Especially for the first child! Can't help but over-pamper him.
Sperzz, thanks for arranging the buffet! You're very cute, you can't shop at BP, so you're helping us to buy and collect
Anyway Do you know what time is the gathering?
Pat, yeah, we'll see you at the gathering
Mint, How is Princess Jewel now? Is she drinking her milk from bottle already? Enjoy your hols!
Mo3, yes it's very warm these days!! Sweat sweat sweat...
Kelly, good that you've a new IFC near your place. My baby IFC is relatively new too. It's good cus everything is very new and good condition! haha..!
I remember seeing someone asking if we wana BP for icecube trays for baby food? I bought similiar ones from Daiso previously, $2 only!

novakido: sorry can check with you if i buy the bugaboo from U.S and get it shipped to singapore, how much will the shipping fee be? cos quite tempted to buy but scared the shipping will cost a bomb since the stroller is such a bulky thingy.
Went Expo, only bought Brainy Baby Left Brain, Right Brain, Peekaboo and Creative Learning vcds at bundle discount at #39 (buy 3 get 1 free, not too bad). Got free bib from Nestle too by signing up and yup, they will deliver free hamper of follow-up when baby is 6 MO. But Caleb was acting up again at the loud speakers and pple.. Phew
Clothes wise for babies, not much, mum bought a romper at $5 for Caleb. Nursing tops also not nice. Mother and Baby fair was better.

dazed: If I dun remember wrongly, cereal is to replace 1 milk feed. So if bb is full, there should be no need to give milk for that particular feed. For a start, we give bb 1 morning feed, then the rest of the day is milk as usual. I think if bb is still hungry, just give the next milk earlier. Cereal is not a 'supplement' to be given with milk le. Subsequently, we'll give 2 cereal feeds (breakfast & dinner) & slowly increase to 3 feeds with milk as supplements. There will be a stage when bb rejects cereal... by then should be old enough to give porridge/ soupy rice.
Sus: The last time I send bb for her jab, the nurse says by right we dun have to sterilise after 3 months. That is the guideline. Previously, my understanding was that once they start on solids, no need to sterilise... however, I know till now, my MIL still rinses the bowls & spoons with hot water for my #2 who is turning 2 soon.
I still sterilise my babies' bottles, probably will do so till #3 reaches 6mths/ 1 year ba.

Gwen, I dun think buy from USA and ship to SG will be worth it coz its really bulky leh. And the box quite heavy although the stroller is light so may cost quite a bit... Not sure about the shipping cost coz I didn't ship it back... And that time when i was buying it, we shop around quite a bit and to get the cheapest deal (about $400plus USD) online, the merchant only accept USA credit card! Unless you have friend there to help you ship back you can try USPS.com to check their rates. How much does it cost in SG actually coz end up it might be more worth it to purchase it here...
Miyuki, I only started like 1 to 2 Teaspoon just for fun hehe...
Sus I express out my breastmilk for baby's cereal but just a little bit hehe...
Mercsboy, which stroller you eyeing? Too bad that time my shipment back to SG exceeded!!! If not I help you all buy back some stuff! SG really expensive la, like the jumperoo only cost less than $80 USD here so ex, I never buy la, but come back also bu se de buy coz see so ex! I went to check out this baby exersaucer that I bought about $59.90 USD at Great World selling $249 really faint leh... How come they mark up the prices so much!!! No wonder all these baby stores can make money!

novakido:thats the reason why some of us go for second-hand toys..cos first hand ones are usually very ex in stores. =)

cherry, how much milk (breastmilk) to add? Do you mean from the usual milk feed, then add 1-2 tablespoon of cereals into the milk?
Afterthat do you give any plain boiled cool water?
My mil n mom keep pushing me to give him fish porridge.. use spoon to mash it..
my sister says don't. so many different versions..

Miyuki1, how come you go against PD advice to start cereal later? Your PD no good?
My PD advised me to wait, he said Ryan's digestive system is not ready yet.
I still have your blender with me - pass to you at the gathering right. But I don't think I can recognise you, heh heh. Maybe we should make name tags for the mummies too.

Miyuki1 & pinkie: i am starting brayden on cereal when he is 6mths.
i follow my PD's advice. she said it is best that baby absorb nutrients from BM as long as possible.
unless his intake of milk drops to below 600ml per day, we feed cereal earlier than 6mths.
