We r driving to Penang for a 4D3N hols but without our girl.... just want to reminisce the good old days but definitely not making no. 2... Haha... When charlotte is older then we go further with her!
Mie: Char's passport oso not dne too... Her daddy doesn't see the need. Actually I think u can enjoy ur holiday more without the lil' one... But of cos... will miss her for a while...
But I told char... after that when july comes, I have all the time for her! Hope she won't find me boring...

Hi xoxo and astro, thanks for sharing. Yah, have not managed to get the book but did some googling. In terms of "assistance", I didn't guide her hand but just put bits of food in her mouth. During her first meal, I think she didn't know that the broccoli was food, since we give it to her sieved. It was only after I put a bit in her mouth then she started to attempt to put it in her mouth.
I stuck to my guns for 7 meals - no top ups with porridge or puree, but after my mum's remark, decided to give her some porridge for lunch today (she has that effect on me), together with her steamed veg which I let her feed herself. A usually has something before her solids. Adapted GF routine, so she takes 6oz milk in the morning, followed by bfast, 3oz before lunch and then dinner, followed by more milk before going down. All in there are 3 solid meals and 3 full milk feeds (6oz) and 2 half feeds = 4 full milk feeds. I wld like to drop the half feeds but she doesn't drink a lot of milk in one go (tt's another battle), so I kept them.
Eh, it's been 2.5 months since she started weaning, is it still considered "early weeks"?
But I have to say that I do think that BLW has its advantages. She complains less and is spending the time playing with her food, tho my husband is a bit tired of all the food flinging (is it wrong to tell A not to do it?). And I can see in the first day that she really got progressively better with each meal. Anyway thot I'd share this pic of her eating corn. Quite an achievement by my book. Hee hee.
Thanks so much for all the advice and sharing. Really appreciate it.

funzee > *applause* for A!! hip hip hooray! she's really cute with "buddha" earlobes and nice, nice hair! you are on yr way! we are all still considered "early" in the weaning part. 
but very well done A!!! forgive the mess, it comes with it. but it does get better and better..you can use a splash mat so food can be 'recycled' when they are thrown down...in my case, i bought bath towels of a specific col and used those and i must say, dre had a real penchant for throwing things everywhere too. but she has since grown out of that and we don't really need the splash "towel" anymore. ganbate!

Miemie,

Hippo,
I bring my elder to Perth on 18mth and again on 34mth (near to 3 year old) but I find that he is more easy to hand during 18th mth cos gong gong we bring him go where he go and just sleep and eat nia but when around 3 year old he run about and demand this and that more difficult for me siah. But of cos when he is younger he cant remember anything at all, a bit of waste $. So now he can only remember the last trip that we bring him, he can remember all the farm visit, the beach etc etc.

wah... How did u survive the plane ride? :S the other day my maid had a day off and HB n I looked after Min the whole day on our own. By the end of the night, we were both ready to KO. Thats why i say we are such incapable parents. Sigh....
Also, the princess can only fall asleep in HER sarong. So if shes not there, we are pretty useless. N i dont want to be those that bring the maid along on holiday. So until we find the time n place to figure out putting her to sleep, its safe to say we aint stepping out of the country with her anytime soon.

Hello all! Long time no "see"!
Weaning :
I still feeding my boy one meal a day cos whenever I feed him solid during dinner, he will wake n fuss almost every hour at night leh! We trial a few times n stop for one week and trial again, true leh! So decided to stop for time being sigh! Can I also check if ur babies will digest the food given and not pass them out undigested? Mine ah, if I give anything orange in color will come out the same, purée or mashed. Same as vegetables like spinach too. I dun think his stomach is capable to digesting it leh. Any advice?
Holiday:
oooh lucky me then! I spoke to hubby of bring my boy to Hk for holiday during his first bdae. I sold him the idea of no need arrange what party for family members and relatives so troublesome and somemore we could take a photo at Disneyland and tell KD when he grows up thar dad n mom soooooo generous! Bring him to Disneyland on his first bdae. Haha!
Can I check if the first bdae is it something that must be celebrated like must pray to ancesters kind? Just dbl chk. Cos scarly the in laws say MUST have a bdae celebrtions. U Noe I hope they dun follow me on the holiday. Cos when I just married, outta 3 trips they follow me n hubby on 2! Till my colleagues also joke abt it.
Baby:
i AM so happy. My bb has grown so much! He is turning 8 mths soon and has a lil tooth sporting on his lower gums. Touch can feel the top of tooth but see nothing!! And Its really painful when he bites during latching! His body feels hot so I presumed is due to teething! KD is more n more interactive and loves singing! Can't believe time pass so fast!

When he was 18mth super easy on plane, just make sure that he chew or suck something during flight take off and landing (pacifier or water/milk) and I cook porriage to bring to the flight for his meal. Most of the trip he just sleep in his bassinet cos they are still small so they need napping. If not wrong is a day trip so by the time the flight take off and eat his meal is time for him to nap so after he wake up a while is time the flight to be landed. 2nd time we took a midnight flight and he is big wau piang he dun want to sleep the whole flight and only nap 2 hours nia and when we reach Perth he is still awake and dun sleep even when we reach my SIL hse and the whole night he only sleep 2 hours. Thk he play with my SIL's till afternoon then KO.

Astro,
I find the bigger they are they more difficult they will as they understand more and dun want to trap in the car. We drive in to KL and Malacca with my elder also and is more easier when he younger as he will just guai guai sit in his car seat or nap but when he bigger he want to move around and must entertain him during the journey.
I saw your posting in FB and look like you very stress in your work, hope that now school holiday it will be better for you.
I also envy those SAHM who can have more time and activities for the baby but I don't think I can be a SAHM as I prefer to work which sometime I can gossip with my colleague or dinner with friends etc.

Hi Ting,
it is common for babies to pass stool of the same color as what she consumes. My baby's stool ll be orange when I feed him sweet potato and green for avocado. Maybe you can try changing the meal times to mid morning and mid afternoon so there is more time for digestion?

HI Mrs Neo!
gemson: see the doc? the phelgm caused by back flow of the nose mucus.. it takes time to go away and will affect sleep.. and maybe even drinking cause cannot suck properly.
u could get saline to clear the nose.. but it doesn't really work for my boys. they need nasal drops (either otrivin/iladin) to clear.. available over the counter.. one drops in each nosestrills three times a day for max 5 days...

blessedcyn: I recall that the book from TMC said that teething does not cause fever or diarrhea. You might want to get that fever checked out?
Ting: is it bcos the milk intake is reduced when you give solids for dinner? According to GF, bbs who eat a lot of solids and cut back on milk too quickly will wake up at night asking for milk.
xoxo: thanks for the encouragement. I've decided to take a half-half approach. Giving her some porridge and let her feed herself the veg. The good thing is that ever since we let her feed herself, she is hungrier and can finish her milk! Ha ha ha! Erm, I have been quite reckless re dropped food. I actually put newspaper underneath and pick up and food and let A eat it again! My mother says to rinse it in a bowl of water. Yah, moving forward I will not let her eat fresh off the newspaper again. I'm evil mum!

Ting: Ru yi oil? My baby takes dinner about 6. Sleep (hopefully) by 8pm.
I realised a few of us are having the babies wake up at night. Do you think it's a "change of month" thing? My colleague said that her mum used to say that babies act weird when they hit a new month.
Gemson: hope your son recovers soon. Ever thot of trying chinese meds? I gave the "bao ying dan" from Eu Yan Sang to baby before when she had a cold. Give can give even if on western meds, just give a 4 hour interval. According to my MIL, it seemed to help.

Astro, funzee - not sure if you guys have mentioned it earlier...can you let me know again what's the name of the GF book?
Any other good book to refer for baby food recipes?

Vin: The GF book is called "The contented little baby book of weaning".
I bot it to follow the schedule and early recipes, but after the first month of weaning, I stopped following the food bcos v angmoh and I think not so practical for me since I think the bb will be eating chinese food like the rest of my family.
The other book which you can consider for asian parents is
"Feed your child right" by Lynn Alexander and Yeong Boon Yee. I got from Kino. This one covers eating all the way to toddler and school-going kids so more mileage.
Now I don't really follow recipes. Just give a variety of veg, some meat, and cook brown rice porridge. She also gets a scoop of our soup before salt is added in. She seems to like soup, either that or she enjoys biting the bowl and splashing what's spilled on her high chair tray.
