happy.gif


last nite, made sweet potato puree -- i like the taste, too, n ate some leftover *slurp* gonna carbo-load yuan2 with rice cereal n sweet potato puree 2day
happy.gif
IFC told me the portion i prepared is always not enough *faint*

re: sleeping face down
cheyanne, yuan2 also does that for a couple of nites... hubby n me sleep in separate room with her -- din hear her cry but when i woke up at 5am to go toilet, to my horror, i found her sleeping face down! now, i will check on her when i wake up (usually ard 4-5am)...

when she was 2-4mth old, she can sleep on tummy with face turn to the side... after she knows how to flip, she forget how to turn her face to the side *faint* will scream for help when she gets tired being on tummy...

re: hiking with bb
jamie n feb_mum, haha, more likely my hubby will do the bjorning :p coz hubby think i quite clumsy -- may trip n fall with bb!

tiny_m, sure, let's go hiking together
happy.gif
r u an early riser? my alarm clock aka yuan2 will be awake by 6.30am everyday -- after latch, can head out for walk @ 7.30am...

but need to let yuan2 get use to being in carrier first...

used to run @ macritchie -- will be nice to do the boardwalk ard the reservoir
happy.gif
oh, my fren recommended dairy farm...
 


hi tiny m, thks 4 d tip..hehe. My boy oso dun like water..even though i dilute wif gripewater or add glucose (to sweeten), he simply refuse to drink frm bottle. Try spoonfeed but oni drink few spoonful. Ah well better than nothing..got buy d gerber juice but haven let him try yet coz duno if its too sweet for him now.. Lucky no constipation yet (everyday do 20sets leg cyclin motion n tummy massage).. Cross fingers!
 
Jamie
When are u going krabi? At first I wanna go there, but need to take connecting flight.. sianz!

The puree, I only feed like one adult spoonful.. apple puree is okay, coz sweetness of fruit is natural and not artificial. But for fruit purees, it is best once u puree put inside fridge immediately/feed immediately, if not it tends to get oxidize and turns black (that is my experience!)

Yeah.. me also very excited when starting him on puree :p let him sit on bouncer best! Cos it is slightly reclined.. and on top of that I gave him a spoon for holding so that he doesn’t grab my plate + my spoon and at the same time he can learn to slot the spoon onto his own mouth keke!

Audrey
Haha.. tho clarins works, but still a bit flabby ler.. (no stretchmark tho)..
We booked our holidays already, will be goin end of the month.. now super excited!!!
Bikini – here I come!!

Poohwei
Guess we need more food to produce milk :p

Re: weigh
I am about 44kg now.. so far so good, but pants a bit loose! And am having D cup wor!!! *can reduce the size or not*
 
hi prettylittlethings, my pd adv me to intro rice cereal 1st coz easiet to digest..start for 1week.. White rice cereal then followd by brown rice..( but i start on brown rice 1st haha oops coz i cudn find heinz bb white rice cereal on d shelf then ) Then after dat intro carrot, pumpkin or sweet potato, apple, pear as 1st foods. One type for 3days at a time...
 
Jamie
Can feel a bit of water after feeding solid, coz sometimes the solid might be too sticky inside their throat.
I have the plate with a divider, so one side I put water the other side is the puree.. when feeding solid I also feed water at the same time (easy to swallow).. then after everything is done my little helper (aka Meg jie jie) will feed him water thru “her” bottle or his bottle haha!
 
for apple puree..scraping better or steaming then mash? Coz scrapin d texture stil quite thick? I scrape n gav my bb he vomit...mayb too sour...
 
Re: apple puree

I never scrape for baby, coz not good at scraping, end up scarping nothing. I always steam the blend it.. (for apple, pears etc)

The things that I mashed is only banana and papaya :p
 
may mum,

thanks for the tip! =D

but can our bb actually eat so much for a meal? or do you feed cereal for one meal, then 1st foods for another?

sorry ar...so many questions *-*
 
adv_sports: We're early risers too. My girl will wake up partially at 6am, latch then go back to sleep but fully awake at 7am. But dun think we can get out of the house so early, I do things rather slowly, maybe 745-8am then can get out of the house. Dairy farm is the one near sungei boloh? I wanna go bollywood veggies, see the farm and eat the curry! We're usually free on Sundays. PM me to arrange ya? Eh, need mosquito repellant or not ah?

maymum: my girl sees water like sees poison like that. we tried with gripe water and she dun drink also. give up liao, now feed her water with spoon.

prettylittlethings: my girl usually eat one adult spoonful of rice cereal, same as rc_cola's baby. For jar food and purees, i'll mix with rice cereal, never tried giving her separate. We'll mix apple juice with the rice cereal too and she loves it.
 
oic, thanks tiny m!

haiz...me not a very creative mummy so it's really helpful to read about how you gals make weanng such an enjoyable process for your little ones. i was quite happy feeding him milk but he's beginning to show signs of interest so i'd better do my "research" now! =)

has anyone tried nestle's rice cereal with your bb? do they like it? or is the "si sin" better?
 
re: hiking with bb
tiny_m, sure, we arrange a sunday to go hiking
happy.gif


dairy farm park is a new one -- my fren said quite scenic by the quarry (shorter to go via Rail Mall)... maybe i go recce first?
http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/index.php?option=com_visitorsguide&task=parks&id=85&Itemid=73

yah, better bring insect repellent -- i will paste the mosquito patch on yuan2 n myself
happy.gif


re: bb food
prettylittlethings, bb can eat
happy.gif
my yuan2 is eating 4tbsp of rice cereal + 4tbps of vege/fruits -- can be a big bowl! and she cries for more *faint* i find it very fun to make the puree myself
happy.gif
i started her on white rice cereal for 3 days, then brown rice cereal for next 2 days and slowly add 1 veg or fruit for every 3 days... so far, she tried carrot, brocolli, apple n pear puree.
 
Rc cola, wah D cup, u muz look like fiona xie! So sexy!!

Bean,
I was at vitakidz yesterday n I bought the babynat fruit cereal too! Smells like froot loops! So nice! Andrea loves it and finished it so quickly. But the thing is, she doesn't want her happy bellies brown rice now.. Maybe cos its not sweet compared to the fruit cereal.. How ah? Did it cause constipation for claire? So far no constipation with happy bellies brown rice. Dunno if babynat will cause it instead.
 
adv sports,
waa... ur bb take so much solids oso... she still drink her milk?? i oni intro pumpkin, sweet potato n potato ( 1,2 tablespoon).. but seem like afer i intro these foods his poo become like adult kind... shapely and firm...n he will gek sai until face red.. muz force him to drink water water and more water....

prettylittlething,
si shen brown rice is grounded brown rice + si shen ( chinese herbs ) i let my bb try so far ok.. but can be bit heaty if give too much. so now i am goin to giv alternate days instead. Need to cook for this one coz i buy freshly grounded from chinese medicine shop. NTUC got sell instant kind juz mix with milk will do. Nestle i heard quite sweet n heaty so i din try..Heinz brand supposedly shld be good coz no added sugar n powder is fine but hard to find on shelf. Me goin to try the Healthy Times organic brand after readin about it here!
happy.gif
 
Heya Mommies - Fyi, there is a Philips Carnival Sale at their Toa Payoh Office this wkend 7-8 Nov, 9-6pm. Not sure if they have those blender or or whatever appliance you need for those babies starting solids..

eh, then what about milk? you mix into the cereal or give her separately? (like adults having a drink after eating?)

mummies who ordered healthy times from me, please note that almost all jar foods r OOS!! got to wait next shipping arriving approximately 2-3 weeks time.. can ur bbs wait? if cannot, let me know if u want to cancel ok?

for cereals, the loots will be delivered to my place tonite.. i will pay 1st coz i also lazy to calculate..

shermay finished all the jar food already.. i think i will buy heinz from ntuc to tahan for these few weeks..

yesterday, my mum cooked porridge for her.. she cried while eating.. whahaha.. think she isnt used to the taste.. my mum tried again today.. same thing happen.. cried while eating.. but once my mum stopped feeding and feed her cereal, she is happy again.. what's wrong?!

BTW, u stopping bfg already?? y??
 
ling lim,
ya.. luckily during my ML, i was diligent enough to pump and store.. i stopping bfg for coming 4 weeks already.. but supply hasnt completely stop yet.. but i stopped expressing out unless leak or pain.. average is abt 2-3 days pump abit to relieve..
now my supply the most can last for another 2weeks.. and yesterday nite i started shermay on FM.. she is drinking ok.. and gave me a funny look.. maybe she is wondering 'how come mummy's milk is so sweet today?' whahhaa

i wanted to train shermay like Le Xuan.. whatever FM also can takes.. coz i have received alot of samples..
 
I just went for pump for awhile.. wow.. now the talk about my cup size!

prettylittlethings: My girl not outdoorsy also, she hates the sun but she likes to gai gai. once we brought her to east coast late morning, very hot and my hubby bjorned her and carried an umbrella to shield her from the sun. hhahaha.. quite a sight..

rc_cola: Wah! D ah?? so envy.. mine are shrinking with my decreasing supply.. in the first place, they didn't even increase much..

Shers: So fast can eat porridge already? U want to train Shermay like Le Xuan ah? I mix the FM cos she only drinks once a week mah but if drink full FM dunno good to mix or not leh. Aiyo, these days she drinking Similac think very sweet, and now she's rejecting EBM. headache..

Re: Gathering
I want! But weekday a bit difficult for me to take leave.. esp. december half my team on leave, i have to guard the fort..
sad.gif


Anyone wanna exchange milk formula? I think I'll stick to Similac cos my girl is on to her second tin and it comes in small tins which can last my girl for one month, just nice.
I have the following for exchange to Similac 400g (prefer new improved formula):
- Dumex Mamil Gold (400g) x 2
- Promil Gold (900g)
- Friso (900g)
- Enfapro -> coming tmr, should be 900g
- Nan Pro -> coming tmr, should be 900g
I can exchange the 900g tins for 2 tins of Similac

juju: is Jodie better?
 
Andrea,
i will let the salesperson know when he delivers tonite ok?

yuki,
yeah! coz poohwei hao lian lor.. whahaha.. so everybody just chipped in also..
wow.. 9kg?? forget it la.. just get pregnant again and cross yr fingers that after delivery, can lose! hhwhahaa solve yr problem!
 
Hi rc_cola,

Me also D cup. Seems like i have been buying the wrong size for my Bs. The lady commented that i should be getting 36D instead of 38D. But i like the underbust area to be more loose. Clothes wise, i hate it too. I have never succeeded buying gowns off the shelves cos my Bs will definitely not fit into them!! Grr!! I was joking with hubby on whether there are treatments to bring down the size of the Bs. Hahaha.
 
shers

cannot le.. joyce say must shake off before pregnant again if not after that cannot slim down le.. haiz.. everytime my relative see me sure will say wah u fat alot hor.. then i was like of course la.. some even ask me 2nd one again issit.. lao...

i dun have $5000 for cenosis..
 
tiny m,

HOW?!!!!

adv sports, wow yuan2 eats alot! i think she prefers solids to milk lor! hahaha!

may mums, prettylittlethings, we order the HT frm the webbie itself cuz i think our accumulated managed to hit some amt tt qualifies us for a 15% discount. and i tink the stores sell slightly more ex for a smaller box? 6oz for 9.90 is it? (anyone can confirm this?)

re: neh neh size

ling lim,
