teddybaby:: i have been using the normal type ever since she was 3 months old. but we never wash the bb with the adults. Her bath towels, clothes etc, are always washed together with her brother's. adult ones are washed separately.

jasmin:: haha stinko hor!! i hate the smell!!
 
dianajs - sigh.. im going thru it now.. or rather Kris... at this point in time... she is crying on and off... the 2 bottom teeth coming out... sigh... put her into her cot she start crying... wake up crying... put her in play yard also cry... carry her then she stop... then busy biting her toys... now in her walker banging my chair.. -_-"
 
teddybaby,

Avocado, I gave one tablespoon for the first time. added a little bit of BM (to make it thinned puree). my BB couldnt finish it for the first day. Gradually increased amount and less BM... on 4th day (Im on 4 days rule), she finished 2 tablespoon!!!!
 
Talk about baby porridge, my mil jus started Baby K with it today and he loves it!

Yuki - sama sama la, i need to learn from my mil how to make porridge lor, so ashamed of myself dunno how to cook leh

Teddybb - i'm still using baby detergent to wash bb's clothes...and re: avocado, i never mix with any milk leh, jus feed like that...

Lenny - U got over that horrible day thank goodness..it mus have been realli tough for u...hang in there gal...that day my fil said something which makes me so pissed lor, then end up me complain to my hb and he went to feedback to his dad (me ask him to tell his dad don't say such things in front of me cos i'm not happy...due to some sensitive issue)...i don't dare say it straight at their faces leh...

Thanks for all the tips on the porridge mummies..gg to learn to make ai xin porridge for my boy boy tomorrow....

<font color="119911">solids/porridge:
I am so confused with all the different methods that everyone is adopting. can clearer pic? from the website is good?</font>

<font color="119911">re:detergent
still using the bb's one since i stock up a lot during sale heehee think overstock liaoz</font>
 
u still here too!

refering to the earlier 2 links posted here. so much to read n remember. now i donno when can intro what type of food. the more i read/listen, the more confuse i am!

oh u know the pigeon mag mag cup, can bb drink juices from there? i know cannot drink from bottle
 
Re: ikan bilis

I long time no go home, but I think u have to soak it for damn long and then rinse it multiple times until the salt used in its preservation is gone before grinding and using it in porridge for bb. Think also depends on the type of ikan bilis.

Vernice,

Diff sources gonna say diff times abt when to best intro whatever / how to make it and store it / what is safe. Think got to weigh them out and then do wat is most comf for u. Each bb also gonna be diff so u have to play it by ear wif urs too. No 2 bb's weaning is gonna be the same one

vernice80,

I echo what areya says. There's really no hard and fast rule for weaning. Do what u think is most common sense and acceptable for your bb. for me, as long as there's nothing negative/harmful of the item, i shall not bother too much else it would only cause me more convenient.
 
alfafa,

Paiseh for the late reply.. Anyway, before i start.. super irritated... i was half way through my long long reply to u.. and my stupid computer went to next screen and all the stuff i typed disappear!!!! Okok.. to save myself from such problems again. AM going to reply in piecemeal.. grrrr...

To start, i shall list out the problems i have encountered during my trip in US.
 
Alfafa,

Here's the first of my problem series...haha

Problem 1: Discomfort in Bassinet

BB refused to sleep in the bassinet cos the stupid UA one was like a sarong and she dont like the feeling of being warped up. Really terrible cos she din sleep for the entire flight. But on my return trip, she managed to sleep like an angel on the empty seat next to me. Which is wonderful cos dont even need to pick her up when there is tubulence. I hope that ur bb is able to sleep on empty seats.. really better than bassinets. Oh yah, u might want to check the length of the bassinet cos bassinet is meant for up to 6 mths old. If bassinet is not long enough for Grace, u would have to carry her the whole trip...that would be most unfortunate. In that event, pray that ur flight is not 100% full and request for them to give u an empty seat. They are quite accomodating when there's a bb.

Problem 2: Toilet Break

Travelling alone with bb.. how to go toilet? For my journey there, i actually wore her in my carrier and go abt doing my business. On my return trip, she was sleeping too soundly so i wait for all cubicles to clear and ran to toilet. Quite safe lah.. there were passengers beside me to help me look out for her. u can ask the air stewardess for help.

Problem 3: Ear pressure

Landing and taking off may be uncomfortable for bb. Good thing bb C takes after me, falls asleep for most of the landing and taking off so i dont have any issue. But i plan her meal times such that it is time to latch her ard landing/taking off time so that in the event she fusses, i would just latch her on.

Ok.. i got to stop here for now.. pumping time is over soon and i got to get back to work. Back later with 2nd series of problems encountered.... Akan Datang!
 
Mumz gdie morn...wah...e thread is alive liao...;)

Alfafa gd tat ur gal likes sweet peas...abel cries when i gave him tat..so far onli like pumpkin...havnt tried carrots yet...

Babe my heart goes out to u...perhaps u can try cream w aloe vera as part of e ingredient...may shaynna get well sn...
 
thks mummies on ur inputs. Think i will wash BB clothes with norm detergent liao but still wash separately

pinksorbet,
Since u didn't mix avocado with BM or water, how much did u feed him then? Half the fruit?
 
asura
my mum forgot to feed him the puree yesterday...
i've reminded her to give to him 2day... hope he'll like it =) let u know, k ^_^

teddybb
i'm oso still using bb detergent to wash my boi clothes... mayb will use norm detergent when he's 1 yr old ba...
 
good morning mummies!

missycandy, no lah, i cannot claim credit for calling back the mummies
happy.gif
everyone made effort to keep the thread alive!

vernice, ya, i agree with asura... i will read whatever in the link posted here, but will use it as a guide only. cos different baby has different development, even different PD advise differently. most importantly is what's comfortable for you. dun get embroiled into such problem and make motherhood such a chore for you. all of us should be enjoying motherhood and take pleasure for being able to do something for our babies
happy.gif


alfafa, yes, do check the length of the bassinet. i think grace will be too tall for the bassinet and hence will be very uncomfortable for her if you put her in the bassinet.
 
missy &amp; teddybaby

Really ?? Could it be teething but dun see the teeth yet lei... Sighz will go and check ot out ba...

Strawberrys79
re: blender
Me bought the Philips Hand blender to purree the porridge that I made for Julia.. Quite useful I should say.. Cost below $50 bucks.. U mite wanna go check it out...

Re: Washing of BB clothes
Me still washing clothes separately and using BB detergent lei.. Is there still a need to?? Can start washing with normal detergent already???
 
Good Morning Mummies!!
Sun, I was thinking to post it's mid week liao, 2 more days to another weekend but you posted it first. Hehehe.. I guess that's the mindset of all corporate rats -- working and at the same time longing for weekend/PH to come. No more PH until November liao. November got 2 long weekends leh and one after another somemore. buahahaha... Can't wait for it to come.

Re: Washing bb clothes
I never used BB Detergent for Vera's clothes before leh.. But I do wash all her stuffs separately.
 
Morning Ladies

Long time never post here. Coz Both my sons are down with fever. #1 already recover for 1wk+, but Anver still having fever and today already the 10th day.

His fever stays at ard 37+degrees during daytime and night time always shoot up to 38+degrees. HAd seem doctor for 3 times and yesterday brought him to Thomson to see Dr Ong and took blood test. He do not have the H1N1 virus lor, but don't understand how come he still not recover yet.

Re: Washing bb clothes
I still separateboth my son's clothes from adult. Maybe will wash them together only after Anver is 2yrs old.
 
dianajs
same here, my gal is cranky these few days. She will suddenly wake up crying.. and after rocking her to sleep she will sob sob even while asleep. My heart aches when I see her cry and yet don't know what happen to her. Her feeds and poopoo are normal. If she's crying due to teething i hope she'll be ok soon. So poor thing le..
 
Kome, good to see you here, will pray for Anver his fever will go off soon!
But is he feeding well &amp; playing?

Washing clothes:
I wash seperately using baby detergent for Caroline's clothes.

Asura, wah I copy ur useful flying tips as well cos will be applicable for my Canada/US trip next yr.
By then Caroline will be 1 yr old liao..
 
Re: Gymboree

Wanted to post this yesterday but was too busy. After attending sat's gymboree, I find that the babies will probably enjoy more when they are able to crawl becos they are limited to certain activities only as they cant crawl yet. Would actually advise to go later if you have not signed up. Personally still prefer kindermusik now after comparing the two.

Re: bb clothes
I am still using bb detergent to wash her clothes as I kiasu hehe.

Asura,
Marissa enjoys the pumpkin puree you passed me. She slurped it up for dinner that day.

re: washing bb clothes
i still use bb detergent to wash bb clothes. i will continue to use this... till she's few yrs old ba..

re: blender
i bought the braun handheld blender, cost abt.. aiya forgot liao (less than S$100 for sure). I haven't tried it so can't give feedback yet. But i've heard good feedback from my frens thats why i bought this brand.
 
wow.. everyone talking about solids now.. a few months ago, we were fretting over their milk intake and latching problems.. Time really flies..

hazel,
I was also like u a few days ago! Esp. now bui bui almost 6 months old.. he now less and less babyish.. so sad.. Opps.. type too fast and wrote ur name out.. hahaha
 
oh.. I bought a lot of baby detergent to last me till he's ten months old.. mangogal can testify how many boxes i've bought.. ahhahahaha

kome,

Aiyo.. take care lehz..
 
baby crying in the middle of the night:

Oh, eddric was like dat 2 days ago.. cried for 3 days straight.. den stopped.. until now i still dunno y.. hahahah.. just very happy that he stopped waking up and cry.
 
Re: Gymboree
Sportyger, yes I agree with you too. I also find Vera didn't enjoy as much as she did during Kindermusik class..
 
lenny
my hubby would be happy if i don't show my unhappiness on my face if i'm not happy with my mil.. can't walk away leh. haha

kome
hope your boy recovers soon!
 
Good Mommies!!

Re: Gymboree
I think my bb is the worst! dun even bother to join in, she jus wan to enjoy crawling herself. Waste my $$....

I think someone talk about honeydew yest, i just happen to read a book about baby food and it state tat can intro honeydew for 6mths bb.
 
Looks like our babies are going through the phase of waking up to cry or crying quite a bit these days.

My boy recovered from his flu but the bug is now passed to me. Argh...
 
Thanks ladies. I do hope he can recover fast.

Mangogal
His feeding worse than last time now. Initially he took 3 oz which was already very little for every 2hrs but now he took only 1oz every 2hrs or 1 1/2hrs.
 
Porridge:
Thanks mommies for ways of making porridge...

I didnt put salt, or put ikan billis coz rem Mrs Wong mentioned ikan billis drying process is not hygienic n full of salt. I didnt puree the porridge coz my boy likes thick gruel when he eats his cereal. Will try a few more times...

Gymboree
I agreed with sportyger. Personally prefers Kindermusik but will only sign up when Andrique is much older.

MIL
haha...tot i'm the only one with MIL problem. My MIL SUPER ONE kind. Even her own son cant stand her. HAHAHAHA... at least my husband stand on my side.

Washing BB Clothes
Still wash Andrique's clothes separately with BB detergent. Bought alot during sales can use for quite sometime.

Kome
u take care too. Anver's fever abit too long, did the doc do a thorough check up for him? Hope he recovers soon!
 
Kome
When my boy was down with flu last week, his feeding also drop to 1-2oz every 3hrs, he was taking 4-5oz previously. But his appetite came back this week and is back to normal feeding.
 
hazel,
if got abit more $$$..then get a seat for grace and bring along your car seat. This will allow her to slp better...in case the bassinet is too small...
 


late good morning to you all!..

so boring at work..haiz.. came in here to have a breather and eat 'snake' for a sec or so.

Tot of changing job..but bonus still round the corner..so im still trying to stay put. Keen to join public sector leh..but so far no news. Who are the mummies here from public sector. I know mangogal is...who else?

Thanks Dianajs..for your blender recommendation. Will check it out at courts when i go to toa payoh this friday. I think a hand held blender is better eh?

Last night baby Hong Yi also wakes up at 3plus crying with eyes shut. I suspect he's teething. Intitally to he wanted milk but after i made, he didn't want to drink. went without milk til 8plus in the morning. last feed was 12plus. Usually he'll drink milk at 5plus or 6am.
Applied teething gel for him and he fall asleep.
