i wanted to do fresh puree everyday, but really cannot lor. all the washing up for 1 serving is not worth it. nvm i tell myself frozen still better coz homemade hehe
dunno leh, my fren say one. maybe coz they're still young so not so good to use the boiling water to mix into the puree?
weishy, april
i use the same method to steam apple - 5min kao tim sai leh.. so i think prob not the pot. might be fire. i try again 2moro with boiling water n see if can shorten to 15min?

Hi may I know what you all do with the leftover over counter purée or sauce you eat or throw hehe.. My bb love brown rice cereal from happy times and gerber apple sauce but I have to feed hin half an hour than his usual time cos he run out of patience haha
hi mummies,
Some of the mummies are keen on the baby carrier. The one that i got is called Patapum. Bought it onine, but i think that they are no longer selling it when i went in to check just now. however, i think you can get it at this other shop, think it is cheaper as well. http://www.babyslingsandcarriers.com/
The lady frm the online shop (that i bought frm) gave me a pretty indept analysis of the various type of carrier. Ultimately decided on Papatum cos it is somewhat similar to Ergo and weight distribution of the baby is good.
Think ultimately is what you want from the carrier, e.g can pack into your ladies bag? can breastfeed in it etc etc. The Baby Slings and Carrier has a physical shop as well, perhaps can go there and try it out.
Weishy,
can you help me to get the pasta sauce as well? Would love to try out the garden veg since the expiry date is till next year. If you dun mind, i'll be at Hong Kong on 21 and coming back on the 23 Mar. Will be there on a business trip, i can meet up with you in the evening time and bring it back for you if you do not wish to check in.
by the way, it was real nice catching up with some of the mummies last sat. now we know that there are at least 3 joyces in the forum. haha...all with baby boys. next time if i am clearing my maternity leave again, will ask Jul out ok.

babymaking, zach tore the sear cover? he has a strong gum woh heehee..btw he got teeth alr?
morning ladies!
would like to ask, is there a regulation by ava on food pdts tat we bring in ourselves? saw on sept thread tat they organize spree for HB & HT cereals. wonder if it's approved by ava. so a bit concerned if it's alright for me to feed baby wif the cereals bought frm spree. cos if by-pass ava means not checked by them for safety for consumption?

hi donkeymami,
Aaden has been taking porridge during weekday for the past 3 weeks. Yesterday i gave him just brown rice cereal with FM and he is fine with it. 2 weeks ago, he totally ignore the brown rice cereal with FM and the carrot puree that i made. So maybe there are good days and bad days for babies.

Zac is quite heavy mah, My PD says heavier bbs will be slower. Zac's corrected age is 6+ mths, so maybe got to adjust a bit? Just give him more time to practice, I'm sure he'll be flipping around in no time!

dun use too much effort to make the food for your gal. It makes u more upset when she doesn't wanna eat and eating will become a struggle each time. I advocate min effort now.
Then if she doesn't wanna eat, i also dun feel too upset throwing the food away.

yes, u need to make adjustments coz he is premature. So 7.5mths now is equiv to abt 6.5mths for him. Dun worry, boys are generally slower. Some dun even bother flipping and progress to other skills. Anyway he's still under KKH's care right? U can always ask the PD next time u see him. Anyway, dun carry him too often, let him be on the playmat & on his tummy more often.

u're now back in HK?

piggytoh,
my hb's work used to be involved wif copyrite/piracy etc. so we're usually quite concerned abt whether the thing is real or not even though the packaging is almost identical. cos even cordyceps also hv 'fake' ones.
tat nite she hv replied me abt the pricing. cheaper by abt $0.90 frm wat we bought tat day. but she haven't get back to me on the expiry.

some children takes some time to get used to the taste. What u can do is, offer the same food for a few days. After a while, they'll take it. So dun keep introducing new food.

dun worry maybe she just dun have good appetite on that day? can always give it a try again, or ask your MIL what she added into porridge, think for those vege or fruits she added you can try to add into the cereal and let bb try again?
HK usually you dun go for too long only a few days right, think just give FM also no problem de, plus by then bb is 1 month older there could be changes maybe she likes cereal already? and also can add in snacks for her lor, like banana easy to buy there and easy to prepare also, or biscuit?
PJPJ
I switch my boy to solid from beginning, although expert will suggest to slowly switch by giving milk as per normal and just add a few tsp of cereal.. see my answer below:
- how long did ur bb take to finish the food?
if he is hungry and likes the food, 25 mins, or else can drag up to almost an hour
- how much did u give in terms of tbsp or tsp?
cereal, puree or porridge i give 1 bowl so in terms of tbsp that's about 13, note: doesn't mean i put 13 tbsp of cereal and mix with other stuff, 13 tbsp means i mix everything already, maybe like 4 tbsp of cereal, 8 biscuit, some fruits puree so total make it 1 bowl about 13 tbsp, he eats around 6-13 but average around 10 tbsp de..
- how many times before bb is enthusiastic in eating?
well the first 2 times he was very excited and eat fast, then slow down a bit, now i dun think he is enthusastic but he just eats his food well like that..

Does anyone know of anyone selling off their bumbo? My no 2 easily bored. Thinking of getting her a bumbo to sit. But she can't sit w/o support yet, u think is advisable to let her sit in a bumbo? Cos I saw bumbo got support, thought it would be a good idea to let her sit in it.
