Kiki I'm using marmite in his porridge
I used to eat porridge w marmite too and now I still do that. Actually adding a little bit soya sauce salt should be ok.. But not too much!
<font color="119911">Kiki</font>
Haha u r so cute! Actually the first time I added a drop of soy sauce into Ian's porridge (cos that day not enough liao to cook it so kinda blend), he finished the whole bowl of porridge v quickly too! But then that was the only time I add soy into his porridge.
When I cook porridge and soup, no soy sauce or salt. Only add a little of soy sauce if I fry noodle/bee hoon or if I do meat patties. Even when I steam fish for him, I just add a few shreds of ginger and maybe wolfberries.
If he is taking dinner food with us then bo pian lor, he'll have yummier food with seasoning. But since it's home cooked, not much seasoning and no MSG, should be ok lah.
I don't feed him brovil and marmite cos it's quite salty.. I'm afraid if I let him eat that, he'll refuse to eat plain porridge... as in those we normally cook.

how much marmite do u use ah? u think i can use marmite to marinade meat or not? that time i brought K for 18mth assessment, the doc was quite shock that i'm still feeding mostly porridge! she advise to feed more solid food, rice etc and also increase the variety coz kimberly already got so many teeth!
itsy
i was really amazed lor! that little amt of soya sauce and she actually ate up! it shows how sensitive their buds are, coz it tasted like nothing to me! usually when i cook porridge or soup i don't add any soy sauce or salt too. but coz today i wanted to stir fry the broccoli and beef, so has to be cooked fast else the beef will turn to rock! is brovil n marmite v salty? hmm...nextime i go supermkt will take note of the ingredients list.

Kiki,
Soy sauce contains salt, sugar and for some brands, they even add in MSG! Read the label before buying. A little bit of salt/soy sauce is okay. I would rather add salt/soy sauce once in a while so that she doesn't get use and expect a tastier food everyday. Best is still without adding anything, let her enjoy the natural taste of food as long as possible.
Kaira,
Strange the PD said that. Soy sauce is actually highly processed. I would choose to use sea salt than soy sauce for young kids. I only use soy sauce on my son when he was almost 3 yo.

My pd also ask me to use soya sauce instead of salt.
Kiki
Ur gal don ask for rice when u r having dinner? Mine refuse porridge as dinner many mths back. As u r taking care by urself, u can still control e salt issue, last time my mil kept putting soya sauce to my gal porridge n insist she don wan to eat or no taste how to eat etc. E sauce is not 1 drop lor. No wonder when hb nephew stay wif me my soya sauce can finish within a week.
Now they need to take food w more taste else they won't eat. How to switch back?

Oh no I start to feel bored... Hahahaha.. Yesterday went sembawang, wed to jurong, thurs to Dempsey.. Today got no program, wanna trim my eye brow at taka. Making a trip down like waste time and money. So can slot in to wed or thurs since plan to go out.. BUT I am jus too bored, finish my YouTube show.. Nothing to do... now on my way to town, be home by 3 to prepare K and our dinner
kiki,
Think of it another way - it's not the salty taste that she is after, but a different taste! By that, you may be able to achieve by mixing more ingredient together, and introduce new food that she hasn't tried before. At 1.5yo, you add 1 pinch of salt so that she can eat better. At 2yo, you probably have to add 2 pinch of salt and by 3yo, you have to add 3 or 4 pinch of salt?!! RE soy sauce vs salt, you go read the label of your soy sauce bottle, and then decide for your self.
cloudme,
Your doc is even funnier. Why can taste soy sauce but can't taste salt? Not the same tougue tasting soy sauce and salt meh? Just took a bit and taste loh.

<font color="ff6000">kiki</font>
That time, I also desperado, and added marmite to his porridge. But subsequently, when he regained his appetite, I switch back to no salt diet. But like itsy, if he eats our food, then we boh pian.
I read AKarmel's book that marmite as one of the vitamins (I think B1 or something) that is not easily found in other foods. So, I relented.

Kiki- I only use marmite for porridge when my porridge got nth much. Whether I put or don't put it doesn't matter much cos he doesn't eat much! Except for today! Usually i cook soup base cos he likes and usually I don't add soy sauce unless I got nth much left to be put into the soup.. Else usually I rotate my soup base daily. Sometimes I use ikan billis sometimes I use pork or chicken or vege lo. Z started trying and taking rice very early.. Cos I complaint to my mom tt he don't like porridge like that.. So she say try rice w soup.. Then awhile ltr he want rice by itself so i started giving him rice not mixed w soup for months already. He likes to eat rice separately then vege n those dishes n soup like how we adults eat. If I cook mashy kind of rice.. He won't eat at all! Fussy eater hur! -.-"
Ytd I was really v happy w z during meal. Noon he finish the usual small portion quick. Then dinner he eat 3/4 munchkin bowl filled w rice vege fish.. 1 full bowl of soup!! In less than half an hour w no spitting at all. He open his mouth eat swallow like most kids... Usually he open small small tk long time to eat. I'm so happy that today he eat so much for dinner. It's like double the usual portion. If all meals are like that, how nice huh! And for once his tummy was soooo huge just now. And it's really first time ever I fed so easily and quickly and not so messy cos no spitting only dripping when drink soup.

Oh regarding names for babies frm FS masters...
My MIL went to calculate for both my girls...
RY was $200++
RL was $168+GST..
According to the masters, the names shouldn't be the same or have the same character cuz both have their own 生程坝址. So different lives and 命...
So technically, the following middle character thing don't work unless they so happen can take the same strokes...
But if u can't be bothered or believe then of cuz any names doesn't matter...

No no like sour food too.. No wonder I got a boy. LOL Anyway, my diet did change after I was preg with Ian, I found that I like eating meat more!
Kiki and Rach
Last time we tried, also no protection and way more 'active', it took nearly a year. So now I think we can't expect any any news too soon too.
Rach
U 'close shop' liao? Wanna pass us your bb clothings?
salt or soy sauce?
I also dunno which is better. I'm using sea salt and I tasted both, I think salt is saltier than soy sauce leh. But like Kam said, soy sauce is more processed. Aiya, best is don't use! No need to think

Sea salt is good, but just to let mummies know, when you look for soya sauce for your baby, dont buy those with sodium benzoate (preservatives) in it. This chemical is bad if you intend to give soya sauce to your baby every meal.
Bovril has additional flavourings, something like MSG but its a different chemical, so might want to take in moderation too.
I did my "survey" on all these flavourings when Kate fussed about her food a while ago
My conclusion was a little of salt and pepper! I also tried adding paprika and garlic powder (McCormicks's)
Her meals here while on holiday is soooooo bad....fries and more fries, and the food here super salty. Chinese food all have msg, *sigh* I hope she will still want to eat her normal food whern we get back this weekend.

Wow, all of you planning for #2?
I had a horrible day with Kate ystrday, she was sooooooo horrible, sitting down in the middle of shopping mall, on five foot way (so unacceptable!) dont want to sit in stroller, run around, nearly run into the road, dont want me to hold her hand, then spotted this coin car ride corner (they had like 6 of them in a cluster) and went and play on it for 30 mins, I wanted to leave and she was still throwing a tantrum wanting to stay there, so I left, I walked away about 50meters and hide and peeped and her, she didn't even look for me!! argh! Then I remembered there kids kidnap case quite prevalent in US,so I walked back...
I tahan until dinner time, she went and sat down on the diner's floor, use her hand to clean the floor, I cannot tahan I smack her in front of all the customers eating dinner, smack until my hand sooo pain!
Tried to tell her she has been naughty, cannot sit on floor, and to my amazement, she knows! She will tell me, 'no,no sit floor, dirty'.
*sigh*
I think the angmos here must be thinking this chinese mother is so violent, must be out of her mind!

Hi Paige,
Try to multiply your experience by 2 and you will know what I am experiencing. Cannot imagine having 3. My cousin who has 3 kids told me terrible two is not the worse stage. It is the beginning of nightmare. She related to me one o
f her friend's daughter reported her to the police for child abuse becoz she is being made to do homework!
Your hubby not around yesterday? It helps to have the daddy around during this kind of meltdown time. I usually walk away and leave it to my husband to deal with them.
Oh yes, Australian Ang mo must be thinking I am crazy mom of twins.
Seriously, if can choose again. I will be happy with one. Quality time and I can still have a career. But my hubby will probably look for a second wife... Haha...
Sea salt vs soy sauce
According to my cousin( I trust her alot because she is a bio person n mom of three n used to own a parenting forum. I emailed her to ask for advice) the following is her reply
Salt is considered an additive from a dietary need pt of view as sodium chloride can be found in food and thus unnecessary to be added as part of the diet. For young kids, sodium will load the kidney unnecessary. So do not add unnecessary!!
But If a child is sick, a more savory food will help. Ok my take on sea salt and soy sauce.
Sea salt- unrefined salt. I will use it sparingly. Better alternative to common soy sauce.
Soy sauce - actually if one can find premium soy sauce without preservatives like sodium benzoate. It is better than sea salt as it a fermented product abd lots of good stuff( won't elaborate here, can explain if u want to know more) the only brand I can find is from japan. But now with radiation risk, I an cutting it out.
To make food more appetizing, I use miso. Yeah got sodium chloride but it also contain probiotics. So lesser of an evil ib the sense better ingredient!!
Don't use bovril or marmite, contains yeast extract which is msg.
To cook porridge, I use wakame as a base.. Its amino acid is glutamate which is like msg but it does not fire the "nerves" thus lesser side effects. There is a trick to cooking wakame. I email you another time. Got to run.. Fetch kids.. Plus shop Reno!! "
The above is my cousin reply. Sharing with all of u. Hope it can help.

Haha....yeah, there was once my nephew was crying lying on the floor throwing a tantrum. I just stood about a metre away, The locals just looked and smiled. Then came a few angmoh, ask my nephew "are you ok? where's your mommy?" My nephew stopped crying and I quickly whisked him away. Very different parenting style.

Homework? Is that in Aussie or Singapore? I wonder what did the police say. hahaha...
And thanks for the info too. Must go check my stuff. It's a pity that there's radiation risk with Jap food now. Otherwise, their quality is usually good and trustable. Really a pity! but more so the people there la. How to rebuild lives like that...
wah, nowadays have GST some more? I thought GST only applicable to business with more than $1mil revenue. Their earnings nowadays so good ah?

My preferences for drinks change. I used to like drinking water. But during pregnancy, only like sweet drinks, can't stand water. Drank so much gassy drinks.

Paige,
Hugz! Hope Miss K behaves better for the rest of the trip, and hope your hub can help you.
But hor, kids are kids mah, it's like that lah, it's unavoidable to have melt down, tantrum throwing one loh. Don't be put off of having more kids. See I am a happy mum of 2 (though I still complain of my kids at times)
kaydenmom,
Thanks for the info!! It really helps! Miso is indeed a good alternative, esp when making soup or soup base dishes. I heard from my friend (who is very knowledge in natural remedy) that miso is good in boasting immunity too! After having kids, we slowly change our food from common type to premium type, for the sake of their good health, though still haven't gone all the way to organic.
Itsy,
Haha, I wanted to say tiger mum initially
Good luck on TTC! Be even more "active", sure strike one day!

kaydenmom
thanks for sharing that info on salt n soya sauce. regarding hbs, mine also same lah, i can foresee nextime i will be the 'devil' and my hb is the 'angel' in my girl's eyes. he only sees my girl for that brief 1.5-2 hrs when he's back fr work everyday. by then she'd be fed, had her bath so all he does is play with her! he doesn't see the 'bad side' of her when she's notti and always tell me she's very guai like little angel. somehow i think he got difficulty understanding why mommy look so tired n stressed on some days!
straw bottles
what type of straw bottles are your kids using ah? i mean, besides munchkin, any other brands out there? my girl has this tendancy to chew the straw of the munchkin bottles! today, she came back fr school with the straw bitten off! abt 1cm gone! i hope its not in her tummy. =/
myfavchoco

myfavchoco,
You not looking for job? Thought you said after K settled down in cc, you want to start working again? Or your hub sayang you, ask you to stay home and be tai-tai
kiki,
There are one type of bottles with "hard" straw. Not possible to be bitten off. I got that from Disneyland but I think I saw similar one at Kiddy's Palace before. I have avoided to buy this cos I thought it's difficult to wash and cannot replace straw.
No issue with garlic and cheese.
