cookiezz> spree or bp? i heard spree not cheap. cos to bring them in, de weigh is not cheap. so not really worth getting, since bp price is 7.70 if u buy more den 10canister.

jolimilk> de thread is here: http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/3594687.html?1265166668

think happy bellies is good cos got dha? n it's pretty cheap at bp n my boy loves it too. so i'll continue getting this for him till he gets bored of it =p erms. i think is mix n feed with spoon, dat's de purpose of introducing solid isin't it?

bernice> same la. my boy simply loves de brown rice cereal. my mum feed him, den stop to tok to me, he get angry wor =x den he happy eat up de 2big spoons i give him, den he cry when finish -_-"

hehe. he is not really guai wor. wait till u c him angry. i will heartpain, cos he will scratch himself on de face
sad.gif


rach> not worth de spree. think jenn mentioned before she used to bring in herself. den de shipping oso ex. not much cheaper but much more wk. i got de brown rice n oatmeal fr bp. started de brown rice one n my boy loves it. de puffs i oso bought 1each of apple, banana n greens. but haven let my boy try yet =p

kiki> depends on whether ur baby can take it. i nv really follow de instruction as to how much water to add. i put in till i find de texture i wan, den i feed

once too thick, my boy give me a funny face. den i added more water, he eat so happily =p

think only one shop at harbourfront carry. de organic shop i heard dat is near mothercare or someting like tat

blessedcyn> i bought. but my boy not much chance to lie on it. cos he goes to infant care on wkdays. n i usually bring him out on wkends =x

bernice> wow. great. heard tat only de harbourfront shop carry. now i got more places to buy my happy bellies =p

rach> robinsons sale till when? i remember i wanna get something too. but forgot wat now -_-

kiki> ya. more den 15% cheaper i heard. haven really been to de shop yet

Ok, I better do more research then. I haven't started feeding him, yet. Just need to be prepared for it.
 
<font color="0000ff">GIVING UP SEATS ON MRT</font>
*sigh* no time to post lately....
been really busy with "work" I hate going on no-pay leave but still have to work.
ok, point aside, i have to complain! this is ultra disgusting...was on the MRT twice this week and both times a good OLD LADY (white hair, wrinkles and all) gave up her seat to me (was slinging baby) while those fit and seemingly healthy men who was sitting around her just pretended nothing happened!!
ARGHH!
ok, back to work, i'll see you mummies at anchopoint tomorrow!
cheerios!

Diapers will be delivered to my place on Monday morning. Yeah! I'll PM you girls my address and acc no. You can either transfer or pay me when u collect. Come collect earlier ok, else my place will be full of diapers during LNY Hhaha
 
jul - tt silly boy sweats so easily!! then make me gotta suffer with him in the living room when he dun wanna sleep in air con room! haha i bot blender last wk too! taka got promo for card members

rach - i dun mind doing a big spree leh haha!! i was thinking of getting the puff too but i think with the shipping when it reaches here become powder liao!

happy bellies - the whole idea of spreeing is that happy bellies is not readily available in sg. i did check harbourfront and one shop in parkway but it costs $9+ wor! at most got 10% disc if u are a member. the reason why it is not readily available may be cos of distribution rights? or just tt no one wants to bring in since not sure of demand? hehe i also dunno! but compared to most other cereals, this one got dha and probiotics and is organic and SHLD be ard the price of healthy times, so i tot y not give it a shot.

kiki - supposed to be very watery at first to get baby to adjust to solids and also to the texture. once baby gets the hang of it then u can add lesser water/milk

michelle - yah i asked jen liao, shld be the same or slightly cheaper than bp price bah. haha sometimes i dun like to wait for bp cos uncertain mah, so i rather order myself! shipping wise since i am using vpost shld be ok and most prob not ordering from amazon so hopefully shipping wun be tt ex. sometimes vpost give me promo codes haha! but the shops here really cut throat leh, $9+ per bottle!!!

Happy Bellies Order! Pls PM me ok!! 3 flavours to choose, Brown Rice, Multi-grain and Oatmeal. Brown rice recommended as the first one to start. Can read more at www.happybabyfood.com

Medela Spree - wow!!! items send out and i can expect them today!!!

rach - spree will close on 17 feb ok? haha more time to collate! then if u wanna order more shld be ok. u can order puffs too if u dun mind if they reach here broken. i will order 1-2 also!

connie - take ur time, will order after cny cos i dun wan to stock too early cos intending to start solids on apr's fool day! i have not tried before but i think brown rice will be a good choice to start as first solid. definitely not multi-grain cos it will be too complicated to start as first food for their tummies! shld cost less than $8 just that i am worried shipping scarly very high so on the safe side i put $8 if not more than that u all kill me later! wun include local postage cos i think its impossible to post, so only self collection
 
Jul> not that far if u come here eat shop n buy at the same time la.. If purposely come for it then exp...
Else u look for those value$1 shop see got sell or not.. Else AMK central find..
 
Hi mummies...I dun noe if anyone here have the same experience...but this is causing conflicts between me, my in-laws and husband....can help...
My son cry alot at night...especailly when he is about to sleep...he will fuss and cry for 15-20 mins at times....but last night was abit worst...so my FIL wants to go find 'Shi Fu' and let my boy drink 'Fu Shui' - the one where u burn the charm and put in water. But i totally against it...m i wrong?
 
Cookiezz> okok then let me take time to browse the puffs.. But I'm gg away 16-20feb leh... So I better confirm with u before I leave..

Expiry leh?? Wonder how much to stock..

Mummies... 1 tin happy bellies can last how long??
How many feeds??
Need to estimate can stick how many else later all expire..


Michelle> how can BP be cheaper?? They shld be bringing in themselves also rite?? Unless they ship in via wholesale price..

Coz current promotion (or ongoing) is US$3.99.
if we have at least 6 of a kind, 15% off.
If all mix got 6 is 10% off..
So if w can collate at least 6 of each kind, brown rice, oatmeal n multigrain.. Then got 15% liaoz...

US3.99x0.75x1.45=SGD$4.90 per tin.
plus shipping $2 eg, then abt $6.90 Nia leh...

Cookiezz> can u email them ask 1ctn how many tins?? That would maximize the space. Ask for ctn dimension as well.. Then we can estimate shipping on vpost website liaoz..

Chong Pang is a pretty exciting place. Crowded, good food and cheap cheap shopping at neighborhood shops.

Not too sure about this but Ikea sells brown paper in a roll, quite thick. Not sure if it's cheaper getting this?

While I am pretty confident that the cost for the cereal will be less than BP, but shipping is a black hole so I cannot guarantee the cost but really SHOULD NOT exceed S$8 each
happy.gif


BP will close on 17th Feb 2359 after which I will make order and if all goes well, we can expect the loot to arrive at early Mar
 
rach - going on hol ah? let me know before u leave k? i check liao, they never specifically say when is the expiry but will be fresh batch so at least can last a few months. they haven got back to me about the carton thingy though. but i think your estimation should be quite right on the cost, just tt shipping cost is really erratic

ning - yesh old ppl liddat one. my mum n in laws also... when jacob was like a few wks old, he woke up crying and my mum used "fu shui" dab on this face and mouth! only consolation is that its not from the paper charms but its like holy water? so it was mineral water. but still.... u cant feed mineral water to an infant mah. i dun even feed water leh! so pissed! then whenever jacob fusses in my in laws' place, they will go pluck the ang hwei.. sigh! sometimes got ants lor! so angry! then tt day mil even pointed out tt my neighbours got ang hwei, next time i can go pluck *faintz!*
 
so exciting! this is the first time i use bold and colours on my post! but any idea how to bold, colour and upsize at the same time? thx!
 
cookiezz
i'm keen... will look at it tonite or over the wkends then pm u k...

yeah my mum and mil same same lah... ang hwei, fu shui and flower bath.. blah blah... wat to do i just close both eyes lor.. :p now my gal at my mum's place i cant do anything also... she fed my gal water and barley water leh... sigh...
 
cookiezz-then how u handle? Just let them be huh?
true abt feeding water...my PD say too much water for infant is bad for them....max is 2oz a day and that is max
 
rach> wah chong pang ah. lol =p

i dun think de shipping is cheap. cos it's heavy n bulky. have u seen de cereal tins? it's heavy n bulky. de puffs are light. but it's even more bulky. u might wanna try to bring in urself, but dun think it'll be much cheaper. n de expiry dates are not very far i would say. so oso wun save much even if it's cheaper.

cookiezz> kkee. de puffs wun break one. cos de packing is something like u know gerber graduates puffs? but de container is even bigger =x
 
ning,
Try to compromise bah, esp if you are living with them? Say give a little bit, like just dab on the mouth, like what cookiezz does? Or you can tell them you call doctor and ask and doctor says cannot give, if they are those who would listen to doctor.

What's any hwei?
 
milkyway - ok u let me know
happy.gif
my mum let jacob lick apple the other day also

ning - as long as jacob is not "harmed" physically i still ok. but i will nag lor. hubs also against mah so will support me! i really cannot take it when they put stuff into his mouth...

michelle - wun break? good! i also trying to bring in see cheaper anot. then if jacob likes at least in the long run i wun run out of supply. and cannot expect expiry to be far cos its organic food so no preservatives! if not defeat the purpose of being organic

sigh think my turn now, he is fussing!!

stephanie - can start with brown rice

Cookies> u mean <font size="+1"><font color="ff0000">like this</font></font>???

cookiezz
mil let my gal taste cheng teng b4.. think i mentioned b4.. now at my mum's place she gets to drink a bit of water and once barley.. anyway i think a little bit of water should be ok lah since she coming to 5months liao... told my mum dont give barley le. water a bit in 2-3days still acceptable.. cant wait to start my gal on semi-solid too!
 
yupe yupe...my MIL cant wait to feed my son semi solid...thank you all for ur advice...i think i close both eyes then...ask them to just dab the Fu shui on the month bah if they insist he have to drink it...
sad.gif
guess all in-laws are the same...heehee :p
 
Rach,
oh you go cameron during the CNY week ah ...... Expect MASSIVE jam. Bring some toys along just on case you gonna spend more time on the coach.
 
Kam> ANG hwei is those Xia liu(hokkien). those kind of plant that will "ward off evil" haha.. Put into water n let bb drink or bathe..

My mum,mil n CL all suggested that during confinement when bb will cry n cry.. Thy say is bb see things n scared blah blah...although dun believe,, but they only say put in bath water to bathe, not drink.. So I ok Lo... Anyway that time only new mum dunno much n dunno wat to do.. It's almost anything that can stop bb crying no harm trying..lol.. But now I know her pattern Liao then no more those things.. She dun really cry cry cry at nite also.. The most is talk to me... N dun wan sleep!! Then I gotta find ways to make her sleep...

Yup yup on Chu 3 nite leaving... 10pm coach.. So hopefully won't jam Lo... But toys dun really entertain her much also leh.. Haha... Pray she'll sleep well on the bus...
happy.gif
 

Rach,
My aunt lives in Cameron, so I know. It's almost certain that it'll be massive traffic jam the whole week, cos lots of people go up there for the cold breeze. Too hot at the low land during CNY. It's cars everywhere! We went there one year, but we knew where to avoid. Be prepared and good luck :)
