[ling2009]

win,
my boy now 7th mth liao... urs? but i rem some mummies mentioned that can only be added after 8th mth is it?? but the porridge so plain leh

 

[hoonie]

My mummy boil the ikan bilis and drain the water out into the porridge for flavour. My gal loves it.

My MIL will use gan bei for flavour too.

 

[hoonie]

Ling,

My gal not yet 8 mths leh but she is eating the "flavour" of ikan bilis. So far no problem.

[pigmohippo]

Ling, maybe can try to add chicken stock? Or carrots too if u have introduced it.

 

[win_mum]

ling

my gal also 7 mths liao. think u can add ikan bilis for some flavour since most bb dun like plain porridge.

as for gan bei, they are dried seafood, u may want to consider when hes 8 or 9 mths.

Re: Clubmed

Yes, it is quite baby friendly. They have jar food for baby, so you need not bring your own if you are open to let your baby try out different food. MY tried pear and banana there. But you have to bring your own baby cereals there. One thing about Club med Bintan is that there are alot of stairs, so we don't really use stroller unless baby is sleeping when we want to go to eat. We carry him around instead.

We enjoyed ourselves especially MY. So naughty when he came back to Singapore because he expected us to carry him around to see things after clubmed. We would have more time to do more things if we did not bring baby. But with MY, it is another type of enjoyment, though timing will revolve around MY. By the way, they don't do babysitting for babies. Only from 2 yrs ownwards, but they charge a fee for 2-4yrs.

 

[baby_may_09]

Re: brown rice

Hi mummies, most of you have given brown rice cereals to your babies. Has anyone tried brown rice porridge? We can blend brown rice before cooking so that it can cook faster, right? But I have a stupid question - after blending, the rice will be wet, so still can blend using the dry blender?

 

[ak4gn]

baby_may - my bbsitter is giving brown rice porridge to my bb. she will soak the rice for 1-2 hours to soften then cook it. then she transfers the cooked porridge into a thermal pot to continue "cooking". If the porridge is still not soft or mushy enough when she is going to feed my bb, then she uses the blender.

ling - can add pumpkin or sweet potatoes into the porridge too.

 

[joyce_yong]

ibite,
I also fan of FP, I like the FP activity walker!

 

[porky_jean]

wow, just check the forum after lunch..so many ppl gg for the gathering ! bean and babymay joining also ! long time never meet with both of u too..

feb_mum, ur hse can take in so many ppl ah ? hehe..

 

[adv_sports]

re: brown rice porridge
i bought organic brown rice -- plan to let yuan2 try porridge this weekend

anyone try slow cooker? can it cook till real soft without blending?

 

[baby_may_09]

MY wants to thank all the aunties for the 7th mth birthday wishes and wish Andrea, Rachel, Rebecca & Isaac Happy 7th mth birthday.

 

[baby_may_09]

My MIL tried slow cooker for white porridge yesterday. She commented that it is too slow so she boiled the porrige using the stove instead.

[cheese_cake]

Babymay - I wash the rice before blending, then I blend the rice with some water and cook after that. Its quite fast, prob 15-20 mins and its very soft.. save more time than using slow cooker, I think..

RE: Gathering
Wow so many people going! I like the idea on the gift exchange too..

 

[shers]

feb_mum,
