LovJ: Think you can boil ikan bilis to make the stock for the porridge. It'll be naturally sweet.
Saw this book Baby's First Foods. They have recipes for various foods for baby up to 1 or 2 year old. Anyone using that book? Useful?

I remember that I watch this programme whereby Zoe Tay was sharing how she made the stock to cook porridge for her boys. I think these are some, if not all the ingredients she used:
Chicken Bones
Pork Bones
Carrot
Corn
Wolfberries
No salt, peppper and sugar needed.
Afterwhich she will freeze into small portions for each meal. Very convenient like that!

just wonder why suddenly u owned 2 bumbo seats Hi Eunice... just got the wean machine from previous BP that just ended yesterday. The BB cube price in that BP was only for 13.50 (no need to purchase other items). But noticed on this new BP, is gg for 14.50.
U might want to contact the person from the previous BP directly if no intention to get the wean machine...

i did that too. I cooked stock each week and froze in VIA cups for that week's porridge. I thought of using bones then my mom told me not to but use meat. she said though using meat the stock won't be as tasty, she said if the bones cook for long to make stock, the marrow will go into the soup and it's not so good. not sure whether true or not but sound ok to me so i just use meat. i also alternate the meat and ingredients i put in so at least stock/porridge taste different. i have used pork, chicken, and beef. beef not as often as it's sup to be heaty.
as for the ingredients that go into the porridge (diff vege), i will puree and freeze as well for the week. i use freezer pots and baby cubes then i will mix and match so give bb a variety. later on when she got older, i dont puree but cut into tiny tiny cubes. at the same time i also added meat. steamed and shredded by hand. for fish, i will thaw out then cook on top of the porridge before serving.
kidz
i am going to try happy view for a month as well. haven't decide when to start yet, taking a break after 2 months of neo gardens. so the pampers, old one better or new one better?

think not recommended to add salt or sugar before 1? you can use stock, or use ikan bilis powder. must soak first so not salty, then dry well. my mom put it in very low heat in the oven. after that i blend into powder and add to porridge.
Jas
the pd said i can start when i saw her last month cos my bb is quite big and pd thinks if start semi solid then her milk intake will go down and she won't balloon so much. i have decided not to start until she is at least 6m old. with my #1, i waited to almost 7m to start but she progress through different puree to porridge relatively quickly.

hi just copied off the website .. but please read thru.. IMPT!!
What should babies under one year avoid?
* Still keep off salt, sugar, honey and artificial sweeteners. Try sweetening desserts with mashed banana or a pure of stewed dried fruit if possible, or use expressed breastmilk or formula milk.
* Avoid the temptation to add a little tea to baby's bottle. The tannin in tea interferes with iron absorption, and the caffeine it contains is not recommended for children.
* Avoid giving fruit squashes or diet drinks to your baby. Artificial sweeteners are not suitable for babies and young children.
* Avoid foods which may carry a risk of food poisoning, such as soft mould-ripened cheeses (brie, camembert), liver pt, and soft-boiled or raw eggs.
* Don't give cow's (or goat's or sheep's) milk as a main drink under one year.
* Skimmed and semi-skimmed milks, low-fat spreads, yogurts and reduced-fat cheeses. Always offer your baby the full-fat versions - they need the calories.

Hi mummies, just wanted to share some information i read about giving your little ones fruit (purees). Apparently Peaches and Apples have the highest level of pesticides so best to buy organic when it comes to these fruit. http://www.foodnews.org/fulllist.php

Hi mummies,
I'm quite new to this forum, but already, i'm finding it very useful...
My maid, whom we hired to take care of my bb, is giving me a lot of problems and we're sending her back to the agent. So i need to look for a babysitter. Anyone knows anyone? preferably in east coast area.

thanks ow_mummy and Novi!
would you recommend we buy the toy?
my hb already complaining that i'm buying too many toys for baby...
besides toys, how do the mummies here stimulate and entertain your babies?
i usually read books and sing to her, that's all...never get those flashcards that seems to be so popular now...
so i wonder if my baby is properly stimulated..
