Potbelly,
For my #1, I only let him wear shoes when he was able to walk pretty well. We have the same thought as you, i.e., to let the kids "feel the ground" without any shoes/socks.
For milk feed, yes, don't stress with the numbers. The page that I posted is solely for reference purpose only since a lot of mummies asked about that and I happened to come across that article. Some kids can eat very little but still chubby chubby, some kids eat a lot but still not very chubby. What you should do is to plot your gal's weight/height on the growth chart. She should be growing at about the same rate, i.e., if she is at about 25-50 percentile, you should be able to plot her weight/height around this range on the graph. Only if there is any sudden drop or increase, then you should seek PD advise.

after tt we went to farms! went to greencircle, which is the one i ordered organic veg from. then also another one called fireflies. haha quite fun! bot lotsa organic veg! and kena a lot of mozzie bites too! brought jacob there to see see and he so heng no mozzie bite! and he pooed on his jumper... i finally got the purple sweet potato! just steamed it to eat. yummy! haha now got to find ways to psycho hubs to go to the farms to buy on a monthly basis! fresher and cheaper!

Went to see PD today. Ian is slightly feverish so must take med. Med supposed to make him drousy so wonder why he is still not sleeping :/
he lost 100g and grew 2cm since last month. So worried about his weight but PD assured me it's ok, Ian is simply very energetic and has high metibolic rate so just need to feed more.
He used to be always constipated but since I replaced HT cereal with enfapro fm with Happy Bellies with Similac fm, he poos better.

milk feed
thanks for all the suggestions. I was just worried that she's not drinking enough milk... Well, she's actually in the 10th percentile. Trying to fatten her up. She dropped from 90th percentile at birth to 10th percentile.. haiz..

growth percentile
It is the first time I heard about this percentile since I join this thread. Anyone care to explain what this percentile means and how to calculate it? When I go to my pd, she didnt mention about this percentile thing. She just say, "OK, your baby is growing well." After she do all the measurement and thats it. Must ask her the next time I visit her. Haha..

I started my gal on porridge when she was 6.5 mths. Meat almost around that time too. If you find the texture not suitable then grind the grains first or blend after cooking.

However the GP dun suggest me to go seems like the chiropractor are not very recognisehd by clinic. Dun noe why thou. He prescribe me with so antiswell and im so much better now. Btw my hubby got me a wrist guard (with metal piece) and it helps a lot. You may want to consider getting it.

Refer to this website, http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/growth/growth_charts.html, which explains very well and in details why we need to monitor (not to compare with others, but to monitor your baby) the growth of our kids.
For growth chart, you have a few options (I compared all three sources, the graphs are very similar):
1. The one in the health book (I don't remember if they state where the source is, and not sure if it is based on our local population).
2. From the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) website from the U.S., here http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/
3. From the WHO website,http://www.who.int/childgrowth/standards/en/ which claimed that this charts are plotted based on the survey on BREASTFEED babies.
My take with growth chart is we have to monitor, as this is one of the best statistical method to know how your baby is growing. And raise your concern to your PD when necessary. But we should never compare with others, as in why my baby is 10th percentile, while hers is at 90th percentile, does that mean my baby is growing not so well, the chart doesn't work this way.
Most PD won't "automatically" go through the growth chart with you (though I knew some PD do). It's part of the duties as a parent to monitor the growth. I will plot the graph every month, and show the graph to the PD every quarterly or so. And the PD will interprete the graph for me, and ask if I have any concern. I personally think this is the best way, both parents and PD work hand in hand for the best healthy of our kids.
Hope this helps

regarding the price of the carrier, depend which brand ur baby is comfortable in bah. for instance somepeople is fine with bjorn basic which i think is ard 100 plus but is only up to 12kg and some mummies commented is not comfortable to use. So up to individual
