Wall socket cover: thanks caramelle! Will go check out hardware stores. Ahnet, good point hor? I didn't think about her flipping it up Maybe they sell something that can snap shut in some way...? Make my hubby go look. Men like hardware stores anyway right? Haha
Hand washing: I wash S' hands with my shower cream (Shokobutsu) haha. When out, I wipe with Pigeon hand & mouth wipes (the yellow pack).
Teat size: S is still using size 1! Wahahaha! She drinks her milk very quickly, finishes 180ml in around 5min using size 1 teat. I initially gave her one with a bigger hole (can't remember what size), she gulped down her milk in less than 2min, and cried her eyes out wanting more milk, cos she prob thinks she hardly got anything haha. I reverted to size 1, and now she's happy after finishing her milk. With her, it's all about how much time was used to drink up the milk. If she's having 210ml, I will let her use size 2, cos a bit more milk can afford to let it flow faster haha. For her bedtime feed of 240ml, I'm still using her special feeder which I can control the speed. As she is nearing the end of the bottle, I turn it down to slow flow to drag it out a bit. Still finished within 5min though.
Egg: also gave hard boiled egg yolk, have not given whites yet.
Bellamy's pasta stars: The most irritating pasta to cook so far. Exactly like how Cassey described it. Not sure if this is happening only to me, maybe it's the way i boil it? But other pastas I cook are ok what.... Oh well, will not buy again. Prefer Bellamy's macaroni, I think they cook better.
Meals: S has suddenly decided to reject food on alternate days. Very frustrating. Sometimes she'd humour me and take 3-4 mouthfuls before clamping mouth shut and shaking head violently while using hands to swat spoon away (causing food to fly all over the place, argh!). Other times, she won't even take the 1st mouthful. And it's not because she's not hungry, cos her last meal is just milk, 3hrs ago. And it's also not a new food item. I've cajoled, I've force fed, I've used distraction, I've pretended to eat her food (ending up really eating it since she doesn't want), I've used other foods to camouflage, I've let her play with spoon and try to sneak food in when she tries to chew on her toy spoon.....everything. I get angry when she behaves like that. I don't have patience to wait 1hr for her to finish her food. I've only ever given her a 5-10min break, and if she's still rejecting when I return to feed her, that's it, meal's over. I will not be held ransom. Hrmph. If she starts rejecting EVERYDAY, I think I will starve her too...
Tantrums: S has now taken to sitting down hard on the floor with a thump, then throwing herself forward until head hits the floor, and she'll rub her face on the floor (or rug), practically trying to dig her head into the floor. This is in addition to her screaming. Where do they learn these things from??
Bluedream, S is very motivated to open ziplock bag when it is the container holding her puffs that's in it haha! But she doesn't know how to close it back of course. She tries very hard though. She can't really self feed yet. Is A doing it already?
S is able to get cutlery to her mouth, but she can't balance food on her spoon, so I hold her hand and do it. For forks, I poke the food then hand it to her. Once she's pulled the clean fork out of her mouth, I have to wrestle it back from her, cos she loves waving the stupid fork around, which makes me worry that she'll jab her eye out. Must find a fork that's less sharp. I have a Nuby fork, but that one is too blunt to poke anything haha!
