shokel, i have a HAWKINS pressure cooker.. din buy especially for baby, but we also use in our cooking.. it is GREAT and amazing!! cook potatos only stove on for about 10 mins *depending on amount of water* and congee about 15 mins only... save a lot of gas and time!
it's great for making other soups as well and really extract the taste. i dunno what i'll do without it.

shokel, it's really really great.. and its hardy.. have been using ours for 5 yrs now.. still works! it will make you look like a chef.. hahah
if u do decide to get one, get the HAWKINS brand. Its orig indian brand i think. the cheapest place to get it from would be mustafa..

actually re: introducing foods to babies..
i try not to be TOO cautious and scared of this and that.. cuz all these rules are made from americans, who have a lot of food allergies, from peanuts to kiwi to seafood..
but peanut allergy and food allergies are usually not common among us asians, except for maybe seafood allergy.. so it is acceptable for babies to eat most things, except for the obvious ones like egg white, honey, salt and sugar..
but the 3-4 day wait rule is a good guideline.. other than that, some of us already "breaking" rules with ikan bilis and meat, and our babies are fine, right? in fact meat is great for boosting babies' iron stores.. cuz let's face it, you can have iron fortified cereal, but the question is the bio absorption of the iron in the food, not just the amount in it..whatever the body cannot absorb, the body will discharge. that's why formula contain a lot more iron than breastmilk because very little of it can be absorbed by babies, but 50% of iron in breastmilk can be absorbed.. so it is really a matter of giving food that are nutrients rich and can actually be absorbed well by babies
and obviously the iron in meat is most easily absorbed and is the hemme iron which is the best for growing children...
my boy has eaten soup (mix with rice cereal) that made from tomatoes, garlic, old cucumber, and he is taking it well..and we all know these stuff are good for us..
just my humble two cents or one cent on this issue..

skinny,
i totally agree wiv u cos i myself oso break the rules hee...cos i cant wait to feed her wiv all the nutricious food. hee... so far peanut allergy is rare in asia. but most common in austraila n england.and i beleive most of us here grew up without cereals hee...onli congee n heinz teething rusks etc heheh....nowadays its partly due to the marketing skills to which promotes the extra nutrrients in their food which makes me wonder do our babies reaally absorb all the nutrients in it?? something to share here regarding fm/bm http://www.askdrsears.com/html/0/T000100.asp

carol, yah, i was checking prices of brown rice and organic brown rice (as in the real rice grain, not cereal) , it's expensive yes but MUCH cheaper than organic cereal, and i think i will get that soon to make congee for my boy.. natural food always better.. even if they are organic processed food.. but of course cant deny the convenience of the rice cereal
marketing is very powerful.. sell to any mother who only wants the best for the kids, it always works!

carol, somemore eating is a joy. very sian to eat boring food. haha.
my hubby likes to use cinnamon, tumeric, rosemary and black pepper in his cooking and we love coriander and parsley and basil too.. of course won't introduce all at once to my boy, but will let him try a mouthful of the soup or stew..
anyway we seldom use salt in our cooking at home. have been using the same box of salt for 2.5 yrs, it looks still 90% full.. haha

Dear mommies
Note of cautious....
Especially For those who are going to HK Disneyland. This is true as it has happened to my SIL's friend, and also 2 of my colleagues' friends. Damn sad for the parents.....
My SIl's friend and hubby went to HK disneyland with their 7yr old son and a newborn bb (abt 7-8mths) during the june school holiday 2-3wks ago. The couple was attending to their baby and within a few mins, their 7yr old son went missing!!! They searched everywhere and lodged police report and stayed a few more days to search for their boy, but in vain. They have no choice but to return to spore without their son. Their son is still nowhere to be found.
Related this incident to my co-workers, and they have heard from their friends the similar case before.
So be careful if anyone of you wanna bring your kids to HK disneyland next time. Don't let them out of your sight.

ainsley,
by right teething will make nn more cranky. but waking up often i think is want u to carry her to comfort her. so maybe this period will be worst since teething too. slowly ya, 1st stop her using u as pacifier, then slowly later on let her learn to self sooth to sleep.

hi skinneybeenie, babies can't take egg white ar? when can they take egg white leh? i let my boi ate steam egg wor. Gasp.
Btw mummies, my boi is cranky due to teething now. I bought a teething gel, Dentinox, and realised it has a local anaesthtic action effect. Was wondering if it may be too strong/too much chemicals? Any suggestions other than provide cold teething toys for them to bite?

Nn is having a low grade fever. Could teething b the cause of the fever? Bt I read online, many saying tat teething flea nt cause fever leh..
ains - the doc said teething wont cause fever..but that time my boy also fever when teething...cos after 1-2wks later, saw his little tooth...
btw mummies, can give the contact of the massage lady (i cant rem her name) who is good at unblocking blocked duct? she also good at the after birth massage rite?
