kiki - I started her on solids at 5 mths, she was sooo ready. I have a friend who's son is 6.5 mths and he's already having chicken and fish but I'll only start her on that at maybe 7.5/ 8 mths.
 
Michelle,
The cover that I bought was the only type at the TMC retail shop. According to the gal, that is the cover. Fitted ok initially but after sterilise, gone case, cannot close lor.

Cereal
Bought 4 types of cereal today since the happy belly not arrived yet. My gal not really like the Hertz vanilla. Not sure is it because I mix wif bm thus not sweet. she can finish her brother's cereal which is sweet.

Avocado
Bought a pack at 3+ at NTUC. ALl green mean not ripe? Will wait for a few days before givin.
CAn check when u start giving avocado? After she taken cereal for a few days as a meal or just give inbetween meals?
 
Hi everyone!

Long time no log in as usual. See that everyone's good and all babies are doing well! Seems a number of babies are far ahead in hitting their milestones! Mine is rather lazy! Or slow lah.. haha

Just a quick question. Where can you get organic food in Sg? Oops, dead giveaway that I never cooked when I was here
happy.gif
Can I get organic cereal easily in supermarkets? Thinking of coming back for 3 months so it's quite impossible to lug milk powder and Co back.

Also, any idea if the car seat and pram can be checked in as luggage? Or must they be flown as cargo? Blur lah!

Jen, Kam and everyone who answered my questions about purees,
Thanks a lot! The recommended books are of a big help. Toyed with the idea of doing baby-led-weaning but was too kia si about the possibility of the baby choking.. must learn CPR! hehe.

Mademoiselle and Midnightblue,
your baby girls are so cute... ooh, here comes the itch! hehe..
 
milkyway &amp; Rach, thanks for the info on the clinic details

MadeMoiSelle80, rachel, michelle, marie,
Your babies are so cute! How I wish I can hug them and kiss them!


bbq98,
Not to worry. When my gal changed from stage 1 to stage 2 (Enfa) a couple of weeks ago, I have also run out of stage 1 to do the slow transition. I only mix the 2 for the 1st day. Then from 2nd day, already fully stage 2. She has no problem with it at all. And partly because she is my #2, so I'm very relax about it unlike my #1, I die die follow the slow transition instruction exactly. But then again, every baby is different lah. Just wanna to share with you so you won't worry too much.


Sandwich and xiaowei,
Thanks!

HR also achieved about the same milestone like XY. This was what's recorded in my blog for HR:
5 months - Sitting without support
6 months - Creeping (moving by dragging whole body on the floor)
7 months - Pulling himself to stand
7 months 1 week - Crawling (on all fours)
7 months 2 week - Cruising
8 months 2 week - Standing freely
10 months 1 week - Walking

So I am expecting XY will be about the same. Actually this is "normal" according to the website (http://www.parentingweekly.com/baby/baby_information/development/index.asp) that I use to monitor baby's development. They hits the milestone on time according to the website, not too early. So I think every child has the potential to achieve this. Create the right environment for them learn, guide them along, and don't be over-protective :)

oh dear..paiseh! now that u mentioned it, i noticed. always thought that your girl n jen's #1 have the same name. good thing that u pointed it out.

delfine
organic food can be found in ntuc (more range at ntuc finest) and cold storage at the organic section... usually near the veggie and fruits section. organic cereals are together with the other baby food at the baby section. usually also near the diapers section (but not always). u just have to go through and see which ones are the organic ones. also, in paragon at the top floor there is a shop that sells organic baby food. i think there's one in great world city too but i'm not too sure which floor is it. u can probably check in the car seat n pram but better to wrap it up or pack it into a box else might get damage. actually pram u can push on board i think. then u ask the staff onboard to put it away for u.

michelle
nice sharp photos. your bro can be professional photographer leh.

marie
your girl's got big round eyes too! awww...whats that she's holding on to, a pear?

rach
fitti is ending the promo earlier then usual is it?
 
kiki - she's got a organic apple hostage

Trying to give her all organic veg, fruit and meat in her first year, bit expensive but I found out that there's organic chicken etc at the Cold Storage at Ion Orchard, 3 floor I believe. I get lotsa organic veg and fruit at the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Market cos I work kinda nearby.
 
Morning

welcome the new mummies

delfine,
brands like healthy times are available at NTUC. other than those listed by kiki and marie, you can also try out cold storage/marketplace located at raffles city, vivocity or fusionopolis. these three supermarkets have the widest range of baby organic foodstuff that i've seen. i don't know if you remember all these place though, since you've been away for such a long time.

michelle,
nice photos!

itsy,
me and cookie just ordered, but the distributor haven't contacted me back yet. i might have to call later to chase them a bit because i'm running out of cereal soon.

rach
maybe too many people ordered so they quickly cut short their promo :p

sandwich
can u advise whats the expiration date like for the teething biscuits and cereal when u get them? thanks!
 
If no preservatives are used, why is it that the baby jar food can be stored for so long?
This is because of the canning process itself. All baby jar food are made from fresh ingredients and then pureed. They are then steamed, vacuum sealed and sterilized. This will prevent the contents to perish like fresh fruits or vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables are easily perishable due to

Growth of undesirable micro-organisms such as molds and yeast. Such micro-organism cannot thrive without oxygen which is effectively cut off by vacuuming before sealing of the baby jars.
Activity of food enzymes. Such food enzymes would be destroyed during the heating process of canning.
Reaction with oxygen in the air. As mentioned above, the jars are vacuumed before they are sealed, thus eliminating the presence of oxygen in the jars.

Though some parents are concerned about vitamins being lost during the heating process, a study by Barbara P. Klein, Ph.D. Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Rhonda Kalezt, M.S. (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) shows that little vitamins are lost during the canning process. In fact, their study confirmed canned foods are comparable to, and sometimes better than, fresh and frozen varieties in terms of nutritional values.
Also, the canning process does not affect fibre content, making them comparable to fresh and frozen varieties. In fact, the heating process appears to make the fibre more soluble and, therefore, more useful to the body.

Any mummies whose kid is still Healthy Times cereal? I have 2 boxes for sale(1 box is Oatmeal cereal and 1 box is Brown rice cereal). My girl is no longer on cereal anymore after eating porridge. Pls PM me at [email protected].
 
<font color="dc143c">Healthy Times vs Happy Baby</font>

Sorry not sure if it was mentioned before... but whats the diff huh?

<font color="dc143c">Sandwich</font>
Any reason for being an ardent fan of healthy times? :p
 
something very strange happened just now. i think i leaked BM!! my girl was cranky and crying and then i felt something wet, look down... my left side of my tanktop got one round patch! i stopped BF for quite some time already. how come like that ah??
 
rach,
i'm not the fan lah, but my boys are, hahaa! my #1 loves their products. taste good i guess. he also likes barbara's bakery organic products, but that's harder to find than healthy times. at the rate that #1's chomping cookies/puffs and #2's consuming cereal, i'll save a lot if i purchase in bulk. #1 snacks continuously in the day - in the car in the morning, for breakfast in school (he'll eat his own snacks instead of those provided in school), for teabreak in school, as nighttime snack.

actually he eats a lot of non-organic snacks also like regular cornflakes, honeystars, crackers, butter cookies, shortbread (just introduced this to him!) ... but at the end of the day if i lay everything out on the table and get him to choose, he would pick the organic ones.
 
sandwich
thats odd...your boy prefers the organic ones? i would have thought the non-organic ones are 'tastier'!
 
kiki,
my friend's dog likes the organic snacks also. she greedily laps up my boy's teddy puffs and toothie pegs (belonging to another organic brand - bellamy's) when we visit her. but then again, maybe her dog's just greedy.

my boy prefers plain snacks. say when we offer butter cookies he'll go for the plain butter ones then when there's no choice he'll go for the sugared ones. for teddy puffs he prefer plain original flavour instead of the apple cinnamon ones. for arrow root cookies he also prefer vanilla instead of maple.
 
sandwich
lol. my dog will lap up anything thats edible! most dogs are really greedy. i can imagine my dog lapping up the 'mess' my girl will create from her highchair sometime very soon. :p which is good...then mommy doesn't need to clean up!

its great that your boy prefers plain snacks. its healthier!
 
<font color="dc143c">marie</font>

Hi mommies,
I send an email to Traffic police and receive below reply:

Q) I have 2 babies age 5 months and 21 months.
My car do not have amper space to accommodate 2 baby seat and 3 adults
(Excluded driver). What should I do?

A)A child below 8 years of age is required to be properly secured by an
approved child restraint appropriate for a child of that height and
weight, if a seatbelt is available for usage. Any driver who fails to
comply with the rule commits an offence which entails a composition amount
of S$120/- and 3 demerit points.

If you have 2 infants or toddlers travelling in a car, all of them must
still be belted up in child seats suitable for them.

Traffic Police believes that the safety of all drivers and passengers is
of utmost importance. Hence, we strongly advise all drivers and
passengers to abide by our rules. In addition, all parents should take it
upon themselves to ensure that only approved child restraints that are
suitable for their children are used. In collisions occurring at a speed
of 50 kmph, an unsecured 7 kg baby can be violently flung against the
dashboard or through the windscreen. This can happen even if an adult
wearing a seat belt holds him. Therefore, child safety seats should be
used to protect all children who are travelling in cars. The baby could
also be flung against other passengers, resulting in serious injury or
even death.

Nonetheless, you may wish to note that number of passengers carried on a
motor vehicle shall not exceed its licensed seating capacity. This is
provided by Section 47 of the Road Traffic (Motor Vehicle, Registration
and Licensing) Rules Chapter 276, Rule 5. In calculating the seating
capacity of any motor vehicle, the driver’s seat shall be excluded.

Seem like they take infant/tobble as 1 pax. SO car cannot have 2 infant , 3 adults exclude driver lor. No wonder singapore don have family with many children nowaday.
