Hi girls,

I noticed that some of you have started introducing solid food to your baby. I'm still on partial breastfeeding.May I know how i should go about introducing solid food? Should i start with fruits or the commercial cereal?
 
Berry-the same but use ur bm to mix

fresh fruits like apples/pear/banana

veges like carrots/pumpkin/butternut/potato/sweet potato
 
{peg}, bumbo seat can used from b4 4 months, Ray outgrew it coz his thighs are too fat but I still put him in there till 5 month 1 week.

blender, I am getting this own, can also use to extract juice, even to make rice into powder, etc. I have a set when we were in Vancouver too, found it to be really worth it.

This is a multipurpose blender, so I find it is worth the money spent.
 
So far, these are the food and fruits that I have let Ray tried besides rice cereal & brown rice cereal,

1. Apple sauce (Apple Puree - he likes it)
2. Pear puree (He likes it)
3. Sweet Potatoes Mash (He likes it)
4. Pumpkin (He is okay with it)
5. Banana Puree (He is okay with it)
6. Mashy Potato (he likes it)
7. Apple, Banana & berry puree (He is okay with it)
8. Pumpkin & sweet potato mash (He likes it)
9. Sweet corn with rice cereal (He likes it)
10. Chicken breast, sweet corn with rice cereal ( He likes it)

I am moving house this coming Saturday, so properly will go to source for dried whitebaits (silverfish/ ikan bilis) to roast and blend into powder to add to his cereals. Will also be giving him this week,

1) carrot
2) broccoli
3) spinach
4) squash
5) pork

So far, he is taking 1/2 bowl for 3 meals besides the milk. Think once he can take a full 1 bowl, his milk intake will reduce.
 
Now, I am deciding between the blender, similar blender but prices are different, I am spoilt for choice now...

Hi Priscilla,
How do you prepare "Chicken breast, sweet corn with rice cereal"? Do you mash the chicken breast and blend the sweet corn?
 
Pris
wow! so many choices for blender. I wonder if they sell this type in SG? I got something similiar but cannot extract juice
 
Weishy

Hah than reschedule will hv to wait v long a not... That why i choose to go GP instead of polyclinic. Think the price not much diff rite... I pay $90 for 6 in 1...

Peg

I brought 2nd hand bumbo. The gal wont seat in it more than 10 mins... Also think she cant seat soon cos of her thigh.
 
I saw some ppl after doing the apple puree ,it freeze it to cude .If want to let baby eat that unfreeze . This way is it good ?
 
piggytoh
yah! i got it for $20! haha usual 2nd hand price is around $30 de. the previous owner initially say $25 but I "sha1 jia4" till $20.

peg
bumbo can use for feeding but in a month or 2 might have to change to high chair

aquaduck trial
just added photos in aug bubs
 
Hi Peg
I bought 2nd hand bumbo seat juz solely for feeding Edric solid foods, easier for my mum to feed him lah, He now seem to associate the seat means “yummy food time”. When he is older will change to high chair.
 
babyja, i jz went to best denki chk out hand blender..saw braun & philips 2 brands oli..i also thk braun is better choice cos is lighter in weight..
 
Just visited my FB and realised that a lot of my uni coursemates have gone on to do further studies in stuff that they're passionate abt: masters in music therapy, in early music, in piano performance...
All the things that we talked abt during our final yr, they're now doing. And me? Here I am with my 3 bubs and hb. Having mixed feelings. Life's strange. You can plan it but sometimes, it just leads you down a completely different path.

Oh well, feeling nostalgic and I think it's the late hour. But looking at my hb and bb sleeping together makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Reira

Braun 450 watt, Philips 600watt. Cannot make decision which to buy, so end up nvr buy. Tat the problem of me, sometimes must go 2X…veri indecisive
 
Priscilla
wow, Ray hv try so many food oredi! Really must learn how to do all the puree stuff. Veri interesting leh, can I ask the berry puree, using strawberry or blueberries? Chicken breast n sweet corn, steam first then use blender? So far I hv made apple puree, pear puree, pumpkin puree for my (edric). He finish the friso rice cereal, so went to buy healthy time brown rice cereal for him to taste, yday 1st day on healthy time brown rice cereal, mix it with pear puree yday, today I mix with pumpkin. Give him quarter of bowl he finish it veri fast withinn 10mins..faster than drinking milk.

I'm so tired; but coming in here gives me some form of comfort.

Claire Liu (claire_liu) >> Yours is a wonderful path to be! 3 lovely bubs and your dearest. Am looking thro' a book on 'Love' given by my hubby and saw this phrase... and scan it in.. awww warm and fuzzy before sleeping time!

(sigh. I am a single mum for another week again; my hubby outstationed and I've got 1 bub, 1 dog, 1 marine fishtank, and 2 damm clown fish to take care for.)

A batch of army ants just started to invade my kitchen. Am waiting to ambush them once i find their nest, in the morning.

Hey Claire,

Can I ask if u took music major in university last time? That was what I did too.

I guess at the end of the day it's a joy to settle down. Who knows ur other friends might be envious of what u are right now. Sometimes I see friends who came back from overseas are still loitering around wanting to travel all the time or still 'flirting around'. I feel sad for them.

To cut the long story short, I'm grateful for what I am and what I have right now

<font color="#1cbab4"><font size="+0">Re : Inconsiderate people at lifts
Hmmmm... its odd but till date, I have not met any nasty pple or rather inconsiderate ones; most of them will help me to press the button; even old granny will help me to open door and oddly she offered to help me carry my baby gal, Ziru. *super random.

Sometimes, when people go thro' the motion of routine, like going to work everyday, it doesn't bother them to see pregnant people, people with kids, old pops and grannies. Maybe they can't empathize with them or us cos they are never in that situation. But still, its amazing that I've met nice people in the lifts, shopping malls saying hi to me and playing with Ziru. In my humble opinion, I think having a Baby is a wonderful ice-breaker to meet new people! Wheeee!

Ermmm sometimes there are so many people at the lift, I gave up. I just load my gal in my carrier with my parcels and stuff and head for escalator..and make sure there is no one behind or infront of me. Think abt it again, wont want to try if i'm tired.

In anycase, realised that everytime I am waiting for my LRT at the MRT/LRT, people ALWAYS approached me for directions on the stops. (yes, even with my baby gal in the carrier) Either I look so heartlander with my auntie bermudas or I look like a MRT staff in disguise. *catch naughty children running on yellow lines

anyone's wrist hurts? though I have muscles popping out from my flabby arms, my poor wrist is hurting me so much that I can't use my left hand to chores, except pinching my gal's cheeks. The pain is insane. Any remedy, mommies?

<font color="#1cbab4"><font size="+0"> Reira (sumire) >> saw the swimming photos at FB! There is even a cute watering can for playing!

how was it? Ang mo coach looks pretty relaxed but everyone's expressions are so intense! I bet you all are the most tired ones cos you are holding them in the water! I will be so freaked out and stressed; thinking my bb will slip off from my arms if she gives me a hard kick.

Aiyoh your bb so smiley one! Did he pose for you or something? So cute!!!

For the chicken, sweet corn and rice cereal, I steamed the chicken and sweet corn. Then add rice cereal, ebm to the mini blender that I used to blend onion. I am waiting to move to our new place in Oz 1st before getting the blender to blend food for Ray, make smoothies, milkshakes and bubble tea for Kai and of course use to blend fruits for my baking.
 
pris,

Yday she want take video of ryan but ryan dun smile when he sees camera cos curious, wan touch..then she started "u 'poo bor'..n she keep repeating as if its v fun cos ryan was laughing! Last week she did the same..i ignored thinking its a one off thingy..last week she called him 'yao xiu'...horrible woman!! Use tis kinda language..wat to do?
 
Sharon, Ray can recognise people from 5th week onwards and he recognise houses too. And in the daytime, he allows anyone to carry him, once night time he cling to me like a koala.
 
Sharon, your mil talked like my mil but she dun use all these on my boys. She knew if she does it, I will not let her see the boys.
 
Morning ladies..

Yesterday i read woman weekly n it says MAN CAN BREAST FEED TOO!!! hahah it says if a man use a breast pump to pump 20min a day after 1-2wk of pumpin they can produce milk too... haha..
 
SHaron,
wah tt bad.. how can ur MIL use such language on him.... the best is to get ur HB talk to her la cannot let him ignore... force him..
 
felicia> sure. will help u order tonite. shuld be able to receive them within 1wk to 3wks. depends on how fast jshopper ships de items out. but now got promo in shipping, so maybe slower. but definitely in time for cny =p

piggytoh> wow. get ur husband to try? =p
 
Sharon
I understand your pain because my mil did the exact same thing also.. That time she call my baby something like "chou bar be" (i dun even know how to spell that cuz i've never heard about it before), and she can even explain to me that my hubby's grandma always call baby that way in the past, means dunno what kind of pig lah but very bad de, she said like that my boy will be easier to look after.. she say cannot talk to baby nicely later they very fussy..

hubby said he will tell her off if she does that again, luckily recently she never say that liao.. that time my sis heard my mil say my boy very kpo she nearly flared up also.. i am not biais towards hokkien lah i know my boy will learn that once he is in army, but baby pick up things super fast de especially the bad ones lor, think about this everytime i want to vomit blood liao..

Michelle
