re:solid
it's been 3 weeks since i try solids on my boy..but he still doesn't eat so much..the most is 2tbsp..but mostly just 1tbsp..
and still don't like any fruits that is too sweet or sour..he only takes cereals..be it plain or barley or honey..for fruits, he only take pumpkin, avocado, apple n pear..but refused to eat 2 days in a row..so must really have alot of varieties...
are all ur bb good eater?
is it bcoz i'm abit choosy on food when i was pregnant?

oh..about honey..
i heard honey can cause botulism..but how come nestle has wheat&honey? is it safe? my boy likes it..already gave him twice..
 
Yah...hope all babies who are sick can recover soon...very heart pain to see them sick. Eames was very sian yesterday when we visited him at my mum's plc too...not his usual self but no fever. We thought what happen but luckily after we left, my sis said he was smiling again. We think he purposely act sian and sick so that he can escape his flash card lesson.keke.

miss83,
my boy eats alot, I give him at least 6 tsp of cereal each time and for pureee, he can finish half a jar in one feed.
 
Kome,Starflower,
Hope both ur boys will recover soon. So worrying. Let them drink more water too if possible.

Starflower,
I tot only gals more prone to UTI. Did pd say why?

Areya,
I saw ur feeding schedule. How do u measure amt of cereal? Cos tot usually measure by no. of teaspoon or tablespoon
 
srumpee
if i'm not wrong 3tsp=1tbsp right...so that means ur bb also eat 2tbsp...because I read on the box, for full feeding is 5tbsp..and my boy only take 1.5-2tbsp then i thought so little..kekeke...
but ur bb take all kind of puree well?
 
hi mommies
anyone giving healthy times brown rice cereal? i gave my gal 6 tablespoons of cereal each time, cos after mixing with water the quantity is not alot le.. tats why i increase to 6 tablespoons which she will finished it. Is that too much? For puree she will take half a jar too.
 
starflower, kome: hope keenan n anver recovers soon..

mummies: my boy pooped le n it was so much n twice in 2 hours...wat a relief...think after becoming a mum, everything also worry...hehe..now i'm worried he may be sick cos so hazy today n i actually brought him out..hope it worry for nothing kinda worry ba...

hi mummies

Been a looong time since i posted here. Last time i believed when i gave updates during my labour. I was the 3rd march mummy to deliver. Haha. But a month early so i posted in feb thread. Recall back then that nobody can advise me much as most of u pregnant still. Hehe.

My boy will be 8mths in less than 2wks. Still small. 7.8kg.. I noticed some of your babies can sit steadily and even crawl. My boy cant. Maybe cos he is a premiee he is abit slow.

Wish to attend gatherings if ok.

haven't posted for a while as really bz with my girl. I realise from the posts that a lot of bbs are already able to sleep through the night! So envious!

My girl can't sleep well. Only fall asleep at 12+am and always wake up at 3am+ to latch before falling back to sleep. Then wake up again at 7+am. Any mummies have this problem? My girl don't like to take day naps too. Sigh. Really worried she's not getting enough rest. I'm going crazy too trying to coax her to sleep so I can rest too! So tired nowadays without proper sleep at night for 6+ months. Help!

p3pp3r

Hehe.. I only saw the pics posted by mar mummies in fb. Realised missing out alot. Cant cope back then alone. Just got helper. Easier liao.. Dare to bring bb out wifout hb now.
 
kat

My bb 7mths plus at times get up for one nite feed. He sleeps past midnite too. But after feed till 9am. Read from other threads that instead of milk give water. Eventually bb feels pek chek that he is not getting milk he just sleeps thru.
happy.gif
 
wow all this talk about MILs. As lovely as mine has been, I'm glad we don't live in same country. We're just as OCD as each other we'd drive each other nuts. DH does a very good job of being the middleman though.
Hugs to those who are having woes. Sometimes, we just have to close an eye, look the other way if need be.
My own mum has so many diff views from me. But we agreed that we respect the other party's house rules. When baby is at home with me, my mum tries not to criticise my child rearing methods even though she fails quite miserably haha. When baby is with her, I don't question too much. I make noise only on big issues like always being in carseat when in car.

Reverie, annmelody and Lenny, my heart goes out to both of you have 'survived' this far. Mothers will always make sacrifices for their little ones, maybe this is your sacrifice? Just have to refocus on the important thing, which is your immediate family.

*A just woke up to smile and play, oh maaannn...*

yeah people, can we not mention REAL NAMES on this forum? I have a stalker too...
Sadly, police can't do anything much unless the person physically threatens you.

wow alfafa, 2 months in Frisco! Have lots and lots of fun there
happy.gif
shop shop shop haha, for baby stuff I mean. I may ask you to help me buy some things to post back if ok with you.

puree: I really can't stand this French brand called Bledina. It's meant to be very popular there but A rejected all of their products except one. I now call it Bloody-na. yuck. So happy to be back to my fave Earth's Best, Hipp and Only Organic. Better still, DH bought me the Babycook! Will now try to make all the puree on my own. Wish me luck in figuring out the device first though. I am a tech idiot.

sportyger, by the way, if you need winter clothes, do ask me k? I have tons!

Queenie, oh man, hope you find Bobo soon. My friend has a dog named Bobo too but it's big and black, quite the opposite of yours. ok, read you found him
happy.gif


actually, am craving mooncakes. Anyone wants to have mooncake gathering??

sinmey, my parents have 3br at Robertson Quay to rent, can help me??

starflower, big big hugs to Keenan xxxxxxxx

Fireangel and Kome too!!

Hi nana
happy.gif


Ok sorry if I didn't reply to anyone's emails or post yet. Trying to sieve through them next few days.
 
some updates on my trip:

It was rainy when we first got there but had some beautiful days, esp in Paris. Really in love with that city despite the stinky metro. Ate so much I put on 2.5kg!! How to resist cherries, tomato, potato all from the garden. Also, some fabtastic bistros in Paris, PM me if you need the names. My fave was one at Porte Maillot - 38 euros for aperitif, fresh bread with olive tapenade and butter, entree, plat, dessert, half bottle of wine, coffee and tea. Food was excellent and they threw in half more bottle for baby lol

Drove a lot around his home town to visit relatives and attend a wedding. That was so tiring. Next time, I'll request that they come to visit us instead. It was nice to see everyone so delighted to see her though.

Didn't do much shopping at all, so disappointed. Even at LV and Longchamp, I just handed over my list, paid and check items were ok then left. Sorry to those whose items I didn't manage to get. The crowds so crazy at Champs Elysees and Blvd Haussmann, I couldn't believe we are in the midst of a world wide recession. Didn't get much for baby either. Nevermind, it just means more money saved haha.
 
oh and for those who wanted to collect stuff from me, I'm away Friday night to Monday night. Going to Tokyo for wedding. Last min decision, no baby, staying at Park Hyatt. Wheeee so excited. Some REAL couple time for a whole weekend.
 
strawberrys79,

Yah my boy is the same. need to wait 15 mins after his solids to give him the milk. heh, guess he needs time to digest the heavier stuff first LOL
happy.gif



TEddybaby,

I use a rice bowl to feed him solids. Filled it full, and measured it before, so know it's approx 100mls. Some more I freeze his soups/purees in baby cubes, so can tell the volume from there as well.
 
nana,

Long time never see you! Ur boi is a premmie so i think in terms of development you got to calculate from his EDD instead of his birthdate. Also, the average time when a baby can start sitting supported with 1 hand on the floor is about 7 mths. So pls dont worry abt ur bb if the PD do not have any concerns.

We are planning a 1 yr old bash next apr. Maybe you can join us then..
happy.gif

Haha.. of course dependent on whether this thread is still alive then.
 
Pseed, welcome back! U back n alfafa flying today...
Tokyo good, can do some more shopping, shld be easier since u not bringing baby! Haha, enjoy!
 
kat

Ivy, alfafa flying tomm lah, we're flying at same time but to diff locations. Going to meet at airport lounge he he I'm such a freeloader.

sunshinebaby I got it 110 euros. expensive but I can't wait for local distributor. She mentioned she was in the process of bringing it in for the first time. Not sure if it has arrived yet. I'll hunt for her namecard. Otherwise, starflower, please help us contact the distributor if you can?

I'll be in Tokyo for only a few days so can't shop much. Am just happy to people watch and eat Krispy Kreme at Shibuya. Any other suggestion on what I can do there? I've been to Tsukiji, Shinjuku, Asakusa, Roppongi, Ginza, Harajuku

Hi Lenny! Such a warm welcome home
happy.gif
 
Mangogal, Teddybaby, Sunshinebaby, Kat
Thanks. Will continue to monitor him, if this few days still the same think i will admit him to hospital already.

Welcome back P.Seed
 
P.Seed,

Welcome back! The beaba is fantastic!! Me also quite idiot at reading manual, was actually using it the wrong way until someone told me about it. terrible right? Good thing is it is quite easy to use except my boo boo over the water to be added to it.

Wow! So envious that you can go Tokyo without baby. I casually mention that my MIL that I wanna go holiday with just my hb for a few days but she say now bb too young. Sob sob... would try again after bb turns 1.
 
kome,

Hope that your son's fever would get better soon.. so sad to read that he has been having fever for so long. U went to PD already?
 
Asura
Yup, went to 2 different PDs and consult them 3 times. Also went to 2 different TCM. Now monitoring the fever after taking the medicine from the 2nd TCM.
 
teddybaby,

I am gng to the toys r us sale later hehe.

Pumpkin,

Welcome home babe! Would love to borrow the winter clothes from you for Baby M. Muacks!!! Thanks a lot
happy.gif

Wow flying off again on friday, enjoy your couple time together in Tokyo, *envy envy*

Kome,
Take care gal, hope baby Anver will recover soon, must be so tiring for you and hubby.
 
asura, googling demo videos now but if I can't figure it out, would you be so kind as to demo for me please??

Kome, thanks
happy.gif
and hugs again! Hope Anver gets well soon

Ivy, sashimi is a gooood idea. If we had more notice, I'd have booked a lunch at Joel Robuchon. I'm thinking of the meal we had at Alain Ducasse/Chanel last year and salivating already.
 
Thanks for all the advice.

I think it is just my MIL who thinks milk is not important. At nights, when I do my feeding at 12am and 5am, my BB will be able to finish 150ml at each feed.

In order not to have conflicts with her, i think, daytime, I don't interfere what she does. Only night time, I do what I can to give milk to BB.

I also stay with my MIL. I also feel that there is no privacy and no couple time at all. The most sickening thing is that, now, whenever my hubby plans for overseas trips,whether long or short ones, my MIL will be in the list. He says, else leave MIL alone at home is not appropriate.... He is the only son and my FIL passed away already.....
 
P.Seed - So envious of your trips...welcome back home though
happy.gif


Asura - same lor, cos my hb casually mentioned to my mil about us taking a break to go for a short getaway...she doesn't seem to encourage and say now bb still too young...

cindy - hb thinking of saving also...now i stay with my inlaws but hb and i occupy the master bedroom...before i got married i told them i can jus occupy one of the rooms la but they insisted on us taking over the master bedroom...it was a nice gesture from them i thought...

strawberry - my hb not the onli child but onli son...last time before we got duxton, we actually applied for a buangkok flat (which is near to not onli his parents but my parents place) we failed...we even appealed to HDB but they failed to give in to us and they emphasised that the system goes through balloting...so even if our parents stayed about two bus stops away they also don't wan to give us a chance...quite pissed la, so end up we had to apply further and got duxton...oh well...

sinmey - i told my hb say we can rent out the apartment by locking jus one room...but then he said we still got to show evidence we are staying there...and then the prob is we not staying in duxton how?

I just felt earthquake here...anyone else felt it?!
 
sportyger, when are you going and where? Need to make sure doesn't clash lol
you're coming tonight to pick up for Vernice, Sunshinebaby and yourself right? Need to put the items aside before I go into my jetlag coma.

asura, i watched a video. Seems simple enough but I can't seem to lock the bowl in place. It looks slanted on my unit. Hmm...
 
sorbet
my hb felt it @ his workplace in AMK...
my sis too @ her workplace in UIC building @ shenton way...
 
Sportyger
More tiring for me lor. Today morning was angry with HB. This few nites he can still sleep like pig while i was worry about his fever and cannot sleep well. Woke up every few hours to take his temperature, abit high fever quickly sponge him and to feed him milk.

I have to wake him up to make milk lor, feeding was still done by me. I had been looking after Anver during nite time for almost 2 weeks already. He can still told me that he did not heard ANver's crying. I was like halo.....he got fever leh, never heard him cried shouldn't you wake up occassionally to check his fever?
 
Sunshinebb,

Re: Leapfrog toys.
i went to toys r us at paragon on monday but not much available.

end up buying them from Mothercare at harbourfront. Bought Bree, My Pal Violet, Letters with Lulu & Baby Counting Pal @ plush for her..

Keeping my fingers crossed that its enough to keep her entertained after hubby goes off next week while i am alone with her..

Alfala,
Hope u are keeping fine alone with 3 dogs and a baby..
 
Kome haha same here but I guess it's my duty to wake up cos this is my full time 24/7 job. Don't get too upset. I'm as feminist as they come but women are normally the ones who take on multiple roles, worker bee, nightingale carer, lover, cheerleader. We're multi talented!

Pinksorbet, don't be envious. I had a crappy time before this where things were very down in every aspect of life. Things are not perfect now either, but I choose to focus on the good stuff and manage the not so good stuff. Er, if I am talking nonsense, pardon me. I've had such broken sleep the last 3 wks plus, quite delirious by now
 
Hi Kome,

Men are like this..
My hubby can wake up in the morning and ask me bb got cry or wake up for milk or not?
That's why women are mothers, we are naturally tuned to be good caregivers to our children.

Hi Pinksorbet,
oic...well..at least u got a queue no. I ballot so many times..maybe 3 times, always get lousy queue no. But i think it's all fated that i gotta stay near my in-laws instead of together with them cos i really resented it. My office here also can feel the earthquarke.
 


P seed,

Humm.. i find it difficult to describe. U able to bring it over to alfafa's place for lunch later? I can do a quick demo for u and u get instant fresh puree for bb A.
