<font color="aa00aa"><font size="+1">Hi mummies, just want to share a very good book on introducing semi-solids. This book was like my 'bible' when I was introducing solids to my son.

It has basic nutrition information (good for mummies who are clueless), feeding schedules &amp; appropriate foods to introduce at different age groups, tonnes of yummy and fun recipes, money and time saving tips, etc etc!
You can read more about this book here: www.superbabyfood.com

I'm selling it for $28.90 include registered mail. Brand new copies, latest edition (2nd edition).

If you want to take a look at the book before commiting to purchase, I welcome you to my place at Punggol to take a look at the book before deciding. Alternatively, you can go to borders to check out the book. I'm selling cheaper than Borders bcos I ordered these online in bulk during my private sprees to save on shipping costs.

Do email me at [email protected] if keen. Thanks!</font></font>
 
Hi mummies,

Just a thought here.. I want to buy more books for my boy at amazon.com. I thought if some of u r interested, we can consolidate the orders and send by Vpost. Coz' now got 20% discount for consolidated orders for vpost usa. What do u gals think?

same..my baby screams whenever i lie him down..even if he's tired and sleepy, he doesnt like to be put down..always screams n cries..haizz..he loves to sit down..and if i need to give him milk must lie him quickly and put the bottle quickly too..anyone with baby always cries/scream before sleep?
 
miss83, my bb also screams and cries sometimes when we put him down. he likes to be carried upright or sit down when he is awake. this has become more obvious these days..he used to be able to rest in the stroller by himself when we were out for dinner but last night, he could only entertain himself for a while with his toys and he wanted us to carry him out to let him sit on our laps and watch us eating..
 
any babies here have any bad habits before they sleep? my baby has been scratching his right ear when he is tired and about to sleep..flapping it front and back..quite often for sometime already..definitely not ear infection but i am concern he can't kick the habit next time..
 
oh ya missycandy, are the cups here? i missed the whole week of postings and doubt have time to catch up with reading. if ready for collection, let me know ya.. thanks.
 
wow alfafa, u are indeed very talented. the giraffe is so pretty. ur girl is so fortunate to have so many hand-made toys from her mummy. if ever, u r going into business selling ur hand-made plush toys etc, i will definitely patronize!
 
huh..teething..but have not seen any white part..but thinking of it..he like to chew his pointer and the teat nowadays..

i think scratching his ears somehow like rubbing his eyes when he is tired.. a part of him now..then again, will not rule out teething..

ur girl starts teething ald right? how is her now?
 
goin 4mths on the 10th. nt sure if its milk tooth leh. pd says might be natal. sian la. wait for it to grow then see how lo.
 
btw, what time do u usually go to work? hmmm... marymount very hard for me to tell u when going off work... but goin to... probably wil be there ard 845am. lol. if im at the office and leave "ontime" shld rch marymount ard 6.10-6.15pm.
 
what does it mean by natal? diff from normal milk tooth?

cannot meet in the morning arh..cos i must reach sch by 7.10am so too early for u.. how abt in the afternoon if ur wrkplace is within walking distance from mrt..cos i can off anytime aft school hours provided nothing on.. if not 6 plus also can..just need to stay in school to work instead of packing work home..hehe but miss baby lah..
 
<font color="ff0000">jo</font> - WOW!!! u spent so much within such short period of time?!?! Sigh...$$ is hard to earn but easy to spend hor?
did u use the 20% coupon from banks for clothes at mothercare?

I am keen on the books too...but give me time to browse thr this week can?

<font color="ff0000">kris</font> - u wasted leh...if i don have to travel then maybe i will still persist lor.

eh how many ah? I think tentatively 14 but some not confirmed yet or maybe late.

<font color="ff0000">ann</font> - ask kome to invite u to Mar's FB. She is the administrator.
 
areya,

we are thinkingof getting a lamaze elephant, not sure should buy or not.. still thinking.. i dangle a rat rattle in front of her for almost 2 mths liao.. the only progress is that she now talks to it... actually she seems to be taking to toys instead of trying to touch them. maybe she is too short, cant reach yet.
 
<font color="119911">vernice,
keke, sometimes i tot wasted too but anyway the frozen ones enough to last her another 6mths, so shld b gd enough liaoz.

i will make booking for 16 pax, shld b more den enough liaoz, will add on if need b.</font>

i read in a book, when baby is sleepy, he may yawn, rub hus eyes or pull his ear. he might just find a way to soothe himself in order to fall asleep.

bluebell
ya same..on my sling he can fall asleep fast but dont want to get him used to being carried.
btw, i dont know that we can use carrier..how old can start already? now still using sling..hubby wants to use carrier..
how to solve this sleeping problem?? anyone?
i tried pacifier..actually it works..but aiyo..dont want to make it a habit too..
 
mummies
how much your bb is drinking now? caleb is now almost 3.5 months ..now drinking 135ml for 3.5 hourly ..is it too much? want to increase to 150ml for night feeding only..
coz PD said til 4 months drink 120ml is the most..he already exceeds that ml..
 
Hi Miss 83, read frm Tracy Hoggs tat if we rely on other stuff to make bb fall asleep, like carrier/ stroller, sling etc...taz accidental parenting...best avoided if u can...

Pacifier is gd for some extent...to break e habit is up to each parent...my bb initially did not use pacifier...he used frm 2+ mth...onli use to soothe him to sleep...later he will spit it out when sound asleep...

Tink by 4 mth onwards, we can start using e PU/PD technique...put up/put down...OR e SHUSH/PAT mtd...for more explanation, do get her bk for a better idea...

Missycandy...wow u did it there eh...why stop? I took e cereal drink...not tat bad leh...tink itz a bit bland lar i guess...but e worst part is hor when i drink it, i cant bf as she claims it will increase ur metabolic rate...causing ur body to work on losing e fats...dunno hao siao or not...haha...so milk pumped out muz try...restart after 24 hrs...

All beauty salons hardsell lar...i tink personal care is like my vampire...i spend e most on facial n now this...terrible...luckily i work otherwise my hb will faint...all he noez im into a slimming centre...most imptly, i still wan to look gd in clothes/shoes...like e saying...huo dao lao...mei dao lao...kekeke...

Asura, don give up k...losing wt needs a long time...no instant success...usually one needs to cross a trigger pt b4 sustainable wt loss is achievable...i used to b in my 60+ kg in my teenage days...so die die prefer to eat like a hummingbird to keep e shape...my legs now kinda cant bear e excess wt so realise i hav to take drastic measures to restore e agile feeling again lor...jia you, don despair...but try to lose it w change of diet 1st...

Princess in dreamland...ya now my boy can sleep like frm 10 to 4+ 5 am...but he has his usual tum tum colic pain cries till 9pm or so, so not sure if he is learning to sleep longer on his own or hez too tired frm e crying...but i tink when they teethe...we start to hav less sleep liao...cherish ur rest now lor...

Jo
Me me! I a voracious reader too! Which ones r u buying? All?
 
Miss 83,

Someone gave a quick formula on how much milk a bb mus drink per feed...do check in e previous entries...mayb e kind mom can retype for us yar...

Ur pd says 4mth 120ml is e max? U sure...? Tink taz qite little unless e bb a small eater...

yup i have tracy book..so far always follow her tips. sleep through the night successfull already. feeding every 3-3.5hour also now..only to put him to sleep is difficult..i follow the ssh pat method also...when I use paci, he also spit up after he falls asleep..but still can make it a habit..if cant sleep, he will want a paci..it's not good..i try my best not to use it.
I never carry him to sleep anymore..just put him on bed and do the ssh-pat..sometimes he cries for 5 mins and sleep..but sometimes can take up to 1 hour also if he's super cranky

any mummies want to share how much ur bb drinking now (FM - for 3-4months baby)?
 
hello mummies...

just went to the supermarket and found that heinz and healthy times bottled fruit purees does not have single fruit blend (wow hahaha sounded like wine)they only have mixed fruit or veg ...Gerber comes in single fruit and it's advisable to intro baby with single fruit or veg for straight 3-7days when baby responds well and accepted the taste before we can intro more...

however..heinz rice cereal can be given to baby from 4 mths onwards.
 
miss 83...

ugin is 4mth....he's drinking 150-220ml every 4hrly too....
the range is vast as that depends on his mood when comes to drinking..hahahhaa

but normally i will prepare 150ml for him to start with..usually EBM then top up with FM...hehehee

but at night feeds....i will give FM...


morning milk..
mummies does your baby wake up hungry???ugin does not seemed to ask for milk when he wakes up...so normally i will shower him slowly and then warm his milk..
which means he can go about 8hrs without milk..

daphne
ya my baby caleb refuses to drink after wake up..he seems full..PD says normal..when they grow older, they are not so hungry anymore..

daphne, princess
thanks for the info..

miss83: my boy is taking abt 5oz every 3-4 hours...last feed 5.5oz at 1030pm n he sleepss thru till 7+ or 8am n i give him 6oz...he is 3 mths n 2weeks..
 
vernice,
Can can.. take yr time..

asura,
I swear by lamaze toys.. My boy likes them very much and I can see his motor skills improving. Ur girl may be a silent observer..

Grace,
Mine is now taking 180 ml 3 hrs.. as long as yr bb wan to drink, let him be..
 
bluebell, miss83,

Aiyah, mine is the same lor.. I dread when the clock strikes 6pm. Worse, he only wants ME, none others. I wonder how when I return to work

tuskywoolie,
Yah, buying all! Adding on some more.. Wan to recommend "Beethoven's wig" series for listening too. I used them to teach classical music but my boy is enjoying them too.. Heehee, he will laugh out loud sometimes.. So cute
 
grace...

yes that's true...as long as baby wants to eat at the stipulated time...it's no need to worry....you can increase the amt when baby sucks to the eat and still sucking lips...hahaa

but 2-2.5hrs is quote soon...maybe you can rty increasing dose??perhaps timing will be stretched..hehehe...
 
miss83
My boy is about 3mths 2 weeks, drinking about 140 to 160ml every 3 hours. But sometimes, after 2.5 hrs, he will demand for feed.

And at night after his last feed at about 10.30pm, he can sleep straight to 3.30 or 4pm before demanding for a feed.

But he is a heavy weight baby. Weight at 7.3kg 2 weeks ago.
 
Mummies with babies at abt 3mths 2 weeks, can your babies grab toys already? My boy can grab my finger but doesn't seem interested in touching or grabing the toys that I gave him.
 

Scrumpee, ur boy shld be sleeping frm 10:30pm to 4am n demand a feed rite? typo error ah? Ya my gal graps firmly everything she can reach :p

Jo, u mean ur boy wants u only n latch on frm 6pm? My gal wants to be latch on frm 7pm onwards..

Drinking: Hmm my gal is drinking 130ml for every 3 hrs, she will hv 5 bottle feeding everyday till 7pm n total latch till she sleep around 10pm/11pm...shld be normal amt? She weight only 5.7kg at 3 mths 2 weeks, but PD say she on track leh...any mummy wif girls can share the weght? Cos all the boys here seems like giant eater :p
