celine,
The JG trial is called off as they dun do group trials. Have to call them up individually to arrange cos they only take in 2 trial students per class.

baby s,
Hahaha .. totally cracks me up when i saw the pic
happy.gif
I think it's do-able, just confine her to an area so that it's easier to clean. I used to do that for my coalie, when i give her a big raw bone to chew. But i think can't do that to ovann now cos coalie will sure come & help him finish the food .. lol!
 
Babyja,
yes I saw it at some shop but v ex.. So ur boi also ah I doubt it teething cos previously he teething he gf no prob drinkin milk sigh really headache..
 
bobo,

Hahah .. ya! Going jap! So happy
happy.gif

can..can..... wat brand n wat wat? y not u PM me.. den i print the list down n do 'stock check'... leave me yur hp oso k?

btw.. wat's so 'shameless' abt this? haha~

babyja/piggy:: if Javier & Kyler not taking as much milk... can gv yogurt to supplement the calcium mah? i tink my fren's younger bb boy oso dun like to take milk.. den his PD asked my fren to gv him yogurt.
 
piggy

donkeymami,

happy.gif


baby ja,

happy.gif
I'm sure u'll get yr chance soon
happy.gif

fatbobo,
ya i also gave kyler yogurt frequently becos i read tt they need 4 cup of milk now n yogurt consider 1 cup.. but the yoplait yogurt so small cup dunno enough anot.. headache ah..

Babyja,
kyler ok with porridge i also add milk in his cereal but sumtime he dun 1 also.. also try to put the milk in mag mag cos he love to walk ard drinkin from magmag but he only drink abit.. sigh~

i saw it at the organic shop cost $40+ i tink.. ya i work n stay in the west maybe u can join those spree? now tt he drink so little mus supp him with DHA..
 
oh.. then better stop gvg for awhile le. (actually me myself not so keen to gv bb so much of yogurt....dat's y i did not start them till they were 1yo... but since my fren's PD recommend...)

i tink u mentioned u do gv ikan bilis in his porridge rite? oh, den agn.. i rmbrd too last time my PD mentioned it's ok if the bb is not taking as much milk.. cos his main source of nutrients now shld cm frm solids... "we shld b worrying if a 1-2yo todd is oni drinking milk n refusing solids." dat's wat he said..which i tink make sense.. (cos i was once worrying alot that Keona is not taking much milk when she was ard 7-10mths old!

or prolly serve 'colder' milk? pour into cereal (as like cheerios or cocopops or honeystars those sort of cereal..)?
 
babies dun wanna drink milk
some toddlers wean off milk earlier than others.. besides FM, u can try fresh milk now.. otherwise i guess it's other forms to substitue the calcium intake.. eg. ikan bilis... bones stock soup.. cheese.. yoghurt.. tofu... etc..

my #1 oso stopped drinking milk (FM or Fresh) after 1.5yrs old.. and yah i was paranoid over it..who will not be right? i mean, we were taught that milk and calium is necessary for healthy bones growth especially for growing children... but PD keep telling me can subsitue...with examples of those above.. sianz.. talk abt it still sianz... nowadays every few days i give him calcium gummy bear sweets lor..

i am just hoping #2 will continue drinking milk..but now seems like #2 oso wanna wean off evening 9 - 11pm milk feed.. dun wanna drink milk.. can onli feed her when she is asleep :p
 
Fatbobo,
ya i agre. But Kyler is really drink way too little milk he need calcium to grow mah so I can only try to sub with hi cal food as much as possible n I also read tt drink too much milk is no gd also..

Smurfy,
haha at this rate he going I think even I stop giving FM he ok lo hb wanna gave him cow milk but v sweet wor so hesitating ..
 
piggytoh
everyone tells me.. after 1 yrs old can drink fresh milk oredi.. ohhh but thinking back hor, i save alot of money over these yrs with him not touching milk at all. yes youghurt is my constant subsitute then.. haizzzzzzzzzz.. sianz.. everytime ppl gives me the shock look when i tell them my boy dun take milk AT ALL
 
Hi mommies,
I speed read someone talking about Nordic Natural Fish Oil. May I know which type? Seems like the age is for 3 yr and up except Baby's DHA for up to 15kg.

What to get from US for 1 yr old?
I only thought of Hi5. Any ideas what to bring in from US for 1 yr old?
 
Pegsfur

actually if u dun mind it on 3 wheels when baby not on it, I can lend my red stroller to u. It was already on 3 wheels when we went hk but it was still ok. When my boy sat on it, it balanced out.
 
Yo!

How're all the mummies & babies?

Me waiting for porridge to cook while Sam is taking a nap (Thankg God! After nearly 1 hr of carrying!) & NIL isn't ard to interfere *evil luff*
 
Butter, Cheese, Yogurt & Toothpaste

Just saw this when I opened to the top of this pg..

I consulted my dentist a couple of weeks back when I went for my cleaning. She said it's better not to give toothpaste to babies UNTIL they know how to spit out & not swallow. She said NEVER use toothpaste with fluoride till they can spit. And it's not necessary to use toothpaste without flouride. Just sharing some info lah.. She lectures at the uni & is very experienced & she is very very good, so I believe her haha.

As for butter.. I gave Sam butter since 10mths old. He loves it coz it's smooth & tasty & 'spices' up his bread. I normally give him either bread with cheese or butter.. unless MIL goes on her 'cannot digest / too heaty' rampage again
happy.gif


I haven't given Sam yoghurt. I can't imagine MIL's reaction *sigh* Sian sian sian.. I think I shall buy some this weekend & give him a taste, while she's not ard *evil luff*
 
Milk requirements

Erm.. I read long ago that 1 yr old babies need abt 350ml milk/day. But this includes milk used in cooking or substitutes like yoghurt, cheese, tofu etc etc.

My PD also said that it doesn't matter that much if they dun wanna drink a lot of milk. Just use solid food to sub lor.
 
Jul,
we r using those bb toothpaste so it safe for swallow etc.. in market there r a couple of brand..

BB,
wah u goin US ah..
 
piggy

Yeah the dentist also said there are those non-fluoride toothpaste but BBs. And she said no need lah. Main thing is use cloth/brush & water can liao. Anyway I'm lazy (&cheapo) to buy heehee
 
hehe.. actually really alot of things r down to different sch of tots..n individual beliefs n preference de.

like the other day.. my mum told me that my sis said frm her lecturer in NUS, it's not advisable to give yogurt to young baby & children.. not even some fruits like kiwi..etc. i then argued that PD recommend de mah....so y not? duno lar! the lecturer studied that yogurt, served cold..n being sour n duno-wat..(prolly it's cultured or duno wat's it lar..), will upset bbs' appetite and wat-not?!?

but isn't tat an alternative source of calcium for bbs who aint drinking enuff milk?

anyways.. ya.. like we always say... anything given moderately is fine. even for us adults, anything taken moderately shld not cause adverse effect. haiya.. everything now oso cause cancer or watever de... wat else can we eat or drink?!?
 
fatbobo,
ya i agree it individual preference...
upset appetite? Kyler ok wor jus dun like milk nia.. i also gave Kyler golden kiwi frequently.. i taste both r sweet not sour mah...
 
fat bobo

Yeah I agree lah. It's very sian when my MIL says cannot give Sam butter or cheese or egg or veg or cereal or biscuit ... coz he's heaty now. Wah liew.. then what he eat? Plain porridge?

Then she cooks barley water for him but insists need to use pure barley water to make FM. I told her all barley water makes the FM hard to dissolve plus Sam soesn't wanna drink coz it tastes weird! So I add half water n make. She also not happy.

Then I say if she's worried he's not drinking enough, make barler again 2moro.. but she says it'll be too 'liang'.

I really wanna faint sometimes
 
to me.. using toothpaste for the little ones.... im ok with it. hv been using since they were abt 7mths old le. like many others here, we're using jason natural de earth's best toothpaste for babies 6mths onwards, safe to swallow. to me..ok lor.. safe jiu safe...jiu use.

if, in some way, applying toothpaste on toothbrush (just like wat we r doing) make them feel adult n wana brush too.. den y not.. haha.

*wah.. dat time hor i ran out of the toothpaste n bought 1 tube at some expo exhibition.. kaoz.. $11 a tube.. killer manz! anyways....

but i still prefer to gv earth's best for at least awhile longer then move to those kodomo bb toothpaste.. which im sure will be a savings. haha. but nw still let them 'eat' the natural de first.

actually for my girls.. brush teeth or not oso same de la... cos aft they brush.. they still drink milk.. n night feed some more leh?!? bleahx~
but helper bathe for them in the day... so just ask her to brush for them lor..... but if i bathe them during wk'n..i lazy to do it le.. bahaha~
 
Jul: no vege too? Then if he constipated she'll just say he's heaty right when the little guy just needs some fibre...

what if u just go ahead with what u believe and go against her beliefs?
 
bahahhahaa~ jul.. your MIL.... wah kaoz!!!!!!

today drink half portion then tmr drink another half portion.... oso same as today drink full portion mah! today drink so much..(n end up making Sam reject the milk)..vs.. tomoro dmake n drink abit more will be liang!?!

bahahahhahahahahah~
 
hmmmm~ jul will prolly get 2 very black faces? frm MIL & FIL too????




nowadays.. im learning..n trying to show some colours (frm my face) to my ILs....when it cms to my bbs lar........
 
mashy,
So nice of u to offer! But as hubby won't be going with me, i think i better get a new one in case another wheel conks off .. hehehe .. den i'll hv to carry him all the way liao. Tks for offering! I appreciate it
happy.gif


jul,
Yr MIL really one kind de ... lucky my MIL dare not give me such nonsense. She tried last time, but failed .. hahaha, cos i refused to listen to her and end up quarrelling. Now she gives up le
happy.gif
 
babys

Yeah lor! She says must strike gd balance. Too much veg = phlegm. I really shake head.

Attempting to strike her balance will kill me someday!

Nowadays I'm being more 'rebellious'. I do start to do my own stuff now. But what she does when I go back to work will of course be hard to control. But I need to let go or I'll drive myself cuckoo
 
Pegsfur

no prob. Actually the wheels are ok, just that the metal is abit warped and that's why the imbalance. We still can't bear to part with it coz it's so light and good to use when travelling. Haha.
