Rach> can we throw the babycube into warm water instead of microwave?
dont have microwave at home and dont like to use too.Hi Eunice,
I am interested in kindermusik too. Will call them tomorrow to enquire. Would be good if they have something that starts asap. Cos I'll be going back to work in march and baby will be starting infant care then. So hope to finish the 8 lessons by then. Unless they allow prorating?
Any other options for enrichment classes? Seems like they require babies to be >6 months old?
Actually the classes are more for my benefit I think. Baby's staying awake more now and I got to constantly think of how to keep him occupied. So it'll be kinda like a shortbreak for me.

successful bottle feeding at all 3 sessions using both medela and avent teats.. so conclusion for the failed bottlefeed previous 2 nites is that my gal was fussy on both nites.. anyway shall continue bottlefeeding in the day to get her into a routine.. i'm gonna be the one bottle-feeding her tmr so hope it'll be as successful as today since all 3 times were feed by hubby and i was around on the 3rd time.

Ok, gd to know that it'll fit into the warmer. Thanks!
Oh yeah, more questions..
1) 1oz cubes are very small. Worth to get? Or shd I just get 2oz?
2) 2oz cubes have markings to make smaller portions if I want to right?
3) So.. I just take the cubes filled with frozen puree, thaw them, then warm them in the pigeon warmer huh?
4) Hard to wash or not? I know the attached lid is supposed to be an advantage, but think they're kinda zorteng to wash?
5) How to sterilise?
6) Read some reviews that the lid breaks off easily, the cubes crack when dropped, n that they fall off the tray very easily. I have those basket type of drawers in the freezer compartment. Already have a hard time storing my FBM. Need to use boxes to stack them b/c of the wire baskets. How to stack these baby cubes ah?
7) Need how many for a week's supply huh?
Hehe temp halt till I think of more qns. Geez.. just started figuring out how to harvest my FBM, now gotta crack my head over purees!!!

Wah lau, alot of qns leh. I hope you halt here hor.
1) Mine are 2oz, can't be arsed to get 1oz size. Bigger is always better than smaller.
2) 2oz has markings of 30, 45, 60 and 70ml.
3) Haven't figured this out yet, since I haven't frozen any babyfood yet. But I guess yeah, you should be right. Thaw before heating up. <font color="ff0000">[This one should check with Kam or Jenifur]</font>
4) It's definitely easier to wash the corners/cap if you're using brushes. (I wash all my dishes with IKEA dish-washing brushes, so it's easy for me.)
5) Never thought about it, cos never had intention to sterilise. Hurhur. But I figured if it can be microwaved, it definitely can be steam-sterilised.
6) Baby Cubes come with a tray with 8 square "holes" where you place the cubes into. You stack the trays (with the baby cubes inside) on top of one another lah. THey're made to be stackable.
7) Purely depends on how much your bugger can eat. Mine is eating 70ml, twice a day. So that makes it 2 BabyCubes per day. If I don't stop him, he can eat up to 100ml, as demonstrated that day when I gave him cereal. (Apparently he is only not greedy with milk, but he's greedy with food.)
So far what I've been using it for is to separate 1 jar of babyfood into 2 servings, I scoop out half the jar into a BabyCube then keep it in the fridge. Then use Pigeon warmer to heat up (at 70 degree) later.
I can't afford to make & freeze baby food, cos my freezer already no space cos of BM.
I am still waiting for someone to buy me a stupid freezer. I don't even dare to pump too often cos pump already I have no place to keep.
Needless to say, my BM supply has dropped as a result.

jul,
1. my baby cubes are 70ml in capcity, and i think that's about the right size to get.
2. yes they have markings at the side so you can freeze 30ml onwards if you want to.
3. i thaw with running water in a bowl before heating up. my older boy doesn't take puree now so what i do with my cubes now is to store stuff like frozen corn, frozen sweet potato etc so that when i need to cook a simple meal for him, i just pop a few cubes into the pot along with his rice/noodles.
4. they are definately easy to wash. i wash them with my blue avent brush.
5. no sterilization is required, cos by the time you baby is ready to wean, most probably he's more than 6 montths old already.
6. out of all my lids, one has chipped off on the top. none have cracked before. and this is after 2 years of usage. so they're quite durable actually. the baby cubes stack nicely in a tray of 10. then each tray can be stacked on each other.
7. like what shelled say, depends on how much yours can eat.

shelled,
when did you start him on solids? 4.5 months? my boy is 3.5 months now but he's having a wobbly head still, so i doubt he'll be ready soon cos wobbly heads are difficult to feed.

Eh, how come your Baby Cubes are in a tray of 10? Mine is 8 leh!! And since yours is 70ml, same as mine lor. I wonder why yours has 2 more than mine!
I started him on semi-solids on 3rd Jan. So yup, ard 4.5mths.
I didn't intend to start him until at least 5 mths (best if 6 mths) but he's really not keen on milk. (Plus, he always eyes his brother eating.)
Shockingly, he is eating very very well. No tongue thrust reflex at all, so no dribbles or anything. Superbly clean eater as compared to Josh at 6 mths old.
Here's a pic!
(He doesn't like applesauce. Too tart for his liking.)
Sorry, he's topless cos I thought he might get messy, so stripped him down to diapers first. Then afterwards just bath lor. (Lazy mommy.)

Hi mommies, Borders was having sale last week. Buy 2 books and get 20% off and buy 3 or more and get 30% off. I got some books there. Dunno if the sale is still on this week though.
Poo
Anyone knows why baby's poo is greenish in colour? It's not watery like what flower4 has described. It's like the normal poo but it's greenish in colour. My mom told me cos baby xia4 dao4 le4. Is it true? Do I need to consult doctor?

viral infection? hmm now i'm reconsidering if i wnt to give my gal the rotavirus jab... initially opting out cos tot shouldnt be any harm... my gal is like ur boy, keep drooling and sucking her own hands lor. quite unhygenic esp if she get touched by so many people and when she touches things.
green stools? my gal gets that once in a while also leh, otherwise it's normally yellowish watery poo...
hope ur boy is better now.

Aiyoh, you all got confused or what? Rotavirus is only one of the thousands types of virus that can infect babies. Stomach flu is not caused by rotavirus lah. Baby vacinated with rotavirus doesn't mean he would never get any viral infection after that. It's just like even if you get a flu jab, doens't mean you won't get flu cos there are many different types of virus causing flu. The world is full of germs, one can never have enough vaccination for all types (if there is such thing, no one will fall sick anymore). Vaccine is only made to protect children (and adults) against those more deadly germs, like rotavirus, pneumococcal, etc.

I don't use baby cube and don't use a warmer. So can only answer you:
3) So.. I just take the cubes filled with frozen puree, thaw them, then warm them in the pigeon warmer huh?
> I use microwave. Something I thaw the puree (in container) overnight in the fridge. Sometime I defroze straight away in the microwave.
5) How to sterilise?
> Yes, same answers as shelled and sandwich. No sterilisation is needed once baby turns 6 months.

Hi Eunice,
I'll be going on Tuesdays 2.30pm. Only going for jan and feb cos from mar, baby starts infant care and kindermusik classes are conducted at the infant care centre.
Happymrskoh,
Although question not directed at me, just thought I might be able to answer. At this age, kindermusik classes are mainly songs and percussion instruments.
For me, I am enrolling him for 2 reasons:
1) gives baby n me something else to do. Most weekdays when hubby's at work, it is just me n baby.
2) thought letting him be around children and doing something that he'll be doing at the infant care centre might help him to settle down when he starts at the centre.
