I used the philips blender which can blend ice! I think its 750watt.
There is a braun blender which can do quite a good job for the ice. Which is yours?
Usu those which are GLASS type are more heavy duty.
I think you can cook and blend too. But I am worried of
1) Will blending porridge introduce too much air into the cereal?
2) Cereal will turn cold very fast
3) Very inconvenient as u will need to blend every time you cook.
I find the blender heavy and a hassle to wash... haha hence prefer to do the grinding all at once.
Best to do in batches to keep the rice powder FRESH.
For the pear puree, did you steam it?
My bb doesn't like it steamed and pureed!
I find it so yummy leh...
Pumpkinseed
Hee... I also think I too hardworking! But I can't find 100% gluten free, soy free etc cereal.
Bellamy's also OOS. So I DIY.
Also, I think I enjoy doing it.. kinda like those experiments we used to do in school.
Can't wait for babycook to arrive so I could experiement more!
Oshgosh_baby
Hee I have no idea how to advise you as I just introduce solids. So Jovan is eating very very little.
About 30ml per feed.
I used 1 tablespoon powder to cook and will throw the leftovers away.
U start with maybe 2 tablespoon and see how much your bb can eat.
Can adjust accordingly.
RE: Plain Nestle Cereal
I had a box which I made a batch to try. Quite yummy leh..
Audrey
U r so right. I think my bb loves white rice more! But I gonna train him up with the brown rice which I spend so much effort making!
Haha... (My MIL kept saying maybe he doesn't like the taste) BUT I think he is doing quite well already for the initial stage of weaning.
Baked_potato
U bought so much brown rice! 2 packets! Is it organic?
Hee u wanna try Organic Jasmine Brown Rice? I can pass you some.

Hi Babymummy,
i use the braun glass blender..its only 525watt..dont think i can use it to grind the rice.
so what u did was to grind them in small portion ah? how much exactly did u grind each time? i think the one that i bot was 1kg..is it too much to grind all at the same time?
as for the pear, yes i have to steam it first then i freeze it in the fridge..when i need it i just take it out and thaw then serve at room temperature...yummy..i like it myself..
How old is your baby? actually if he is above 8 mths old, u dont really have to steam the pear..jsut as long as u buy those ripe soft ones, then jsut cut and mash it up..

Leereiner: Just my personal opinion, I bought 1 wide Nuk Premium bottle previously. 1 thing about NUK is the teat. I find that after using the NUK teats for some time, it becomes slimy and sticky. Sometimes it goes out of shape.
I threw several NUK teats away already. I dont face such problems with my avent one. Except that it turns a little yellow. I wonder for NUK, is it that the teat melts over time during the sterilisation process.
So if you want to get NUK, this is my personal experience.

Hi gals
want to check with all of you. Once your bb starts solid, do u still continue to let your baby drink the same amount of milk? My baby is on 5 milk feeds per day..usually will wake her up for the 10pm feed. Am considering whe to drop this feed...but afraid that baby may not have enough milk. She is on the small side, that's why the hesistation.

Confirm not BPA free ah..
I post the link sometime back.
It should says PP bottle.
Comes only in baby PINK and baby BLUE.
Edj,
I find that grinding in small portion is better. More fine. Else will end up with fine powdery rice at the bottom and coarser ones at the top. Pulse function is quite good too.
U add tablespoons by tablespoons to test it out.
Recipie says cook 10min! But I cook longer. Coz the husk is abit hard still. Now I am using a slow cooker. Cook it in the morning before work and MIL mix with BM before serving.
Ya better not cook BM.. else nutrients al lost.
If u are cooking over stove, really muz watch fire and keep stiring coz it will stick to the pot very fast!
And being an apr mummy, my bb is only 6.5M! haha.. he is the smallest boy here. 15th percentile!!! ho ho ho

Hi Ashleigh,
For my bb, when i first started him on solid because the amt of solid he took was very little so initially milk intake the same but as he progresses to take 2 and now 3 meals a day...the milk intake has decreased. Though he is still on 4 milk feeds, the time i latch him on is shorter except for the morning feed. The remaining 3 feeds usually shorter time. The last feed is usually around 8-9pm. i dont wake him up if he doesnt cry for milk. i intend to reduce milk feed to 3 times a day when i start introducing oats for bfast. Hope it works.
coz my bb loves to latch on...jia lat...hehe
ACtually u can try borrowing this book called The Contented Little book of Weaning by Gina Ford...its quite good for reference..

5pm cereal mixed with 40-60ml milk
7-8pm 100-150ml
9-10pm latch on
sometimes latch on in the middle of the night
I feel that milk intake in dropping as solids meals are more established.

kids, you can get 240ml from one side! that's very good supply
Now my mum/husband will eat up baby leftovers (only bm and bm mixed cereal coz I can't bear to throw away), next time baby will be "punished" by finishing his younger sibling's leftovers, haha!
Do you know if it's ok to start oats at 6 mth+? Coz I read that there are some concerns with brown rice. I bought Bellamy's porridge which is oat-based, wonder if I should start now.

1+pm latch on
5+pm apple cereal with ebm and juice

Kidzkidz: The flash cards you bought seems pretty interesting. I might want to check it out. I bought those words kind of flashcards sometime back. (Glenn Doman style) Both chinese and english words. Was very disciplined initially with the image stimulation cards. Now getting lazier. Cos most days she is not at home. Will try to work on the flashcards again. Will prob get the picture ones next time too.
Btw, for the NUK teats, mine were the yellow ones, will prob get the white ones next time. But I am trying her on spouts now and soon wana get those with straws. I think for new teats will get some for B2 next time.
Joie: Yup, understand lifespan of teats are 3 months only. But my NUK teats lasted only 1 or 2 months then it turned slimy or out of shape. Have replaced my avent teats liaoz, cos some of them have turned yellow too...
Any one tried those training cups with straw yet? I thinking of getting 1 to try. Wana wean my dd of the bottles soon. And hopefully the breast as well...

Hi Cocobnz,
the book is good as a general guidance. of coz you have to vary yours according to yr baby's schedule but plus minus its there.
In fact, i think u can start introducing oats from 6mths..but i dont intend to do it untill he has tried most of his normal fruits and vege and brown rice.
In fact right now, this is my schdule:
7am: latch on
7-8am: i feed him about 2-3oz of fruit/vege puree ( i intend to switch to yogurt/oat with fruits in 2mths time)
9.30am: latch on
12pm: 2oz root vege i.e sweet potato or avocado and 30ml bb or 2 ozfruit puree
2pm: latch on
5.30pm: 3tsp cereal and 2oz fruit puree
Hi audrey,
i believe u shd get the money after 3pm today. for interbank transfer, it takes about 3working days, i check with the bank. SOrry for the delay.
Do u have UOB account? next time, if need be, i can transfer to your UOB account instead.
7-8pm: latch on
10pm: latch on (if he wakes up)

KP,
if you read the GIna ford's book, it says that baby still needs min of 600ml of milk everyday...
