milkway, princessxiaomei, maelyn,
My girl took solid pretty well. I have started to give her lumpy food about 1 month ago, as in I didn't puree until smooth, but to mash it and leave some lumps of food. She took it well. She can now eat banana like adults
I think her nanny means the ABC pasta, not really maccoroni. I cooked that for my boy. But my way of cooking was not meant for babies, so cannot share with you. Think my nanny cook the mee sua and ABC pasta separately. Then she cook soup with veg and meat separately. Then add the mee sua and ABC pasta with soup for my girl. She eats a lot.
Paige,
For me, my breastmilk stopped naturally. Just don't pump and don't latch unless necessarily, ie, only pump if your breast cannot take it anymore (harden/engorged). And don't pump at fix timing, so that your body learn that no need to produce milk anymore. It only took me about 2-3 weeks to totally stop production.

not sure if bb can take durians but i just fed my gal over the wkends... gave her very little of the creamy and bitter ones and she seems to like them.. haha
mamato6js
oh yes i took that ride too but missed the roller coaster at sci-fi city as it's still closed. Mayb the darkness and the high-speed added to the fright. hee..
michelle
my ss drops a lot then i see no point pumping so regularly since so little milk.. so i tot i just take the chance to let it go off naturally... just started supplementing with 1 feed of FM and using my frozen storage. I dont have excess to store anymore. think i'll slowly skip the 1 pump a day as well.
paige
i'm also slowly reducing my ss...
Jenifur told me i have to lengthen the interval and try not to latch anymore. I'm still latching though... morn and nite.
kam
oh that's gd... now i give my gal porridge with fish, sometimes the fish also quite lumpy. I told her to chew and show her my mouth moving. Not sure if she knows wat i'm saying, i see some mouth action lah. Mayb i will try with more lumpy first then see how she takes it. Would like her to try other food other than just porridge lor.

<font color="0000ff">Jeni</font> erm, her ifc gives her the chicken, fish and silverfish porridge....at home so far, I've only cooked porridge ONCE!
At home, at nights and weekends, I give her treadfin or cod, steamed, mashed, then add pureed veg and a few scoops of cereal. 2 weeks ago, i introduced organic tofu and egg yolk. She loves them!
<font color="0000ff">Kam</font> great to hear that you had a good holiday and a good bday!
Yes, I don't pump at a fixed time, only wait until breast is super hard or about to leak, then quickly pump, i can still get 200mls if i wait until its super hard and pump!
I latch at night before she sleeps (if not cannot tahan until next morning!) Since last week, she wakes up at night to drink milk!! arghh! now I have to go to the kitchen and make her FM at 4am almost every morning!! How i miss latching! (I could have latched her in the wee hours, which, I tried last long weekend and my supply came back up!! so, must resist latching!)
<font color="0000ff">Itsy</font> ermm, are you meeting any mummies this week? Actually not to worry, I have 10 milk bottles which i rotate at ifc. This weekend we have visitors staying over, so can't go to sengkang, next whole week hubby in europe, I'll be all alone with Kate and my dog, so ermm, maybe the week after?

Kaira - we brought up 180ml of water for her milk and another 150 ml of her drinking water and 2 x 6 scoops of milk powder. Plus I had a full bottle of water with me for me, which I would have quickly finished if I had to BUT no one had any issues with the water and powder.
I mean frankly if you're travelling with a kid you aren't gonna be wanting to bring down the plane ;P

Kaira,
No issue with the milk powder at all, which I kept in the powder dispenser. For water, I brought 1 big bottle of water with me up to the plane, when passed by the custom, told them it's for making milk, they asked me to drink 1 sip to show them it's not dangerous chemical, and that's it.
I used either bottle mineral water or cold boiled tap water for making milk.

kaira,
Just be relax about the trip and you will be fine. It's not as bad as you think. We have to handle 2 kids, and we survived. For our 8 days in China, there was no schedule for my kids. They drank/ate and slept on the go, as and when they needed one. As long as they were happy.
We travelled to malaysia by car when my girl was 6 months and there was no problem at all.

yellow tinge on baby's nose
mummies! help! i think my girl's nose is turning yellow!could be the food she eats...too much beta-carotene??? hmm..but i actually feed her quite a variety leh, so not sure why like this. i was doing some reading and seems like a lot of food which she takes is high in beta-carotene...like apples, broccoli, carrots, papaya, pumpkin, spinach, sweet potato. how ah like that??? what can i feed her that doesn't cause her skin to turn yellow?! any mummies facing this problem? i thought i'm already quite careful with not feeding too much of anything and everyday is different food...cause i remembered my friend's baby really turned VERY yellow in the face, hands and feet because she went to puree a whole pumpkin and feed her baby that for a whole month!
so what foods should i feed then?? *stress* or should i decrease puree and feed more cereals?? i'm feeding abt 2-3oz puree and 2-3 avent scoops of cereal per feed.
paige, michelle
how to you prepare the chicken for baby ah? can advise? i tried chicken boiled with veggie stock then pureed, she won't really eat it. but if i mix in another sweet tasting puree like carrots or pumpkin or sweet potato, she'd eat it! fussy eater i have!! for the egg yolk, do you have to cook it throughly? do you puree it there after or just mash it up with a fork?

kiki,
Yes, only yolk for now. Hard boil is the safest. Half boiled ones still have risk of contaminants. Having said that, most of the farmed eggs are pretty safe (clean) nowadays. I knew a mummy fed her baby half boiled egg and she was fine. Just to be on the safe side, hard boiled is recommended. Whole egg will have to wait till at least 1 year old. Hehe, I haven't started with my girl yet, maybe this weekend. For my boy, I gave him 2-3 yolk per week to start with. Later, I let him bring 1 yolk a day to the childcare to be eaten together with his lunch (porridge). To me, egg is superfood, very nutritionous. An egg a day should be fine.

Girly - went here http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/beets-baby-food.html
Now I'm truly inspired. She doesn't really like her brown rice porridge so I need to find other things to feed her. Green peppers are gross but red and yellow ones roasted are yum.

Rylen likes the like pasta stars too and the dogs always have to have a share of pasta when we have as well. Pasta dinners at least once a week at home. I *heart* pasta... but it's usually wholemeal or spinach version. Trying to be all healthy to set a good example for Rylen. *sigh*
<font color="0000ff">kiki</font> when i brought Kate to her PD 2 months ago, her PD commented that the soles of her feet is a little yellowish, so asked me to vary her food (poor girl, i used to give her one week pumpkin, one week sweet potato, one week carrot!!) so now I give her spinach and carrot alternate days, brocolli and pumpkin alternate days, alternate weeks, she seems better.
Oh and now that she eats fish/chicken/tofu/egg yolk, i cut down on the veg a little...maybe that helps too, coz initially it was just veg puree on its own.
I want to try cheese next!
Re Chicken: i tried slicing a few thin slice of breastmeat, steam, and blend it with seamed pumpkin and brocolli (i improvise from anabel Karmel's book), then freeze.
Oh, but it won't be super smooth! Kate's fine with the texture.

I just gave my girl beet root + pumpkin puree yesterday (I mixed them cos I prepared these 2 types yesterday, can always give it separately). She loves it, and I love it too. Beet root is nice tasting, and it's actually a very good veg also. I learned from a PD, he said as a general guideline, the darker the color, the better the fruit/veg cos it's higher in anti-oxidant. Beet root and red dragon fruit are some of the darkest colors fruit/veg available readily in the wet market/supermarket. When the kids is older, make ABC (Apple, Beet root and Carrot) juice, very very good, nice and nutritious!
<font color="0000ff">Michelle,</font>
Aiyoh, no need to use pasta sauce for young baby lah. Easiest to do is to cook the pasta separately till soft. Then add in some soft cooked veg cut in small cubes (if you baby can handle that already), else add in some puree. Don't need pasta/tomato sauce, be creative, like melt some cheese with the pasta would be nice too Baby food should be of natural food taste.
