[cayenne]

mommies, it's my turn now... sighz.. my boy is teething AND CRANKY..

help!! any remedies to soothe him?

 

[eyevee]

Ainsley, i think silver fish better, not the flat open up ikan bilies. I tot u have a pump already?

 

[ainsley_yip]

Ivy, the white one found in ntuc, together with the fish dept de.. I oso think it's better bt duno if the calcium same as ikan bilis. When can I start to intro?

I hv Pump bt my sil need one. Hers is manual, bt ao gd. So see if anyone wana sell lor. Keke

 

[eyevee]

Ainsley,
some pple say can start ikan bilies now but i dunno ok or not. When u intend to start?

My PISA no more warranty leh i got 2nd hand but i had change a new motor in jan, change a new membrane in 20 april. So u see if she mind or not.

 

[kitsune_sg]

Ainsley, fresh silver fish is better. If you have a grinder, can fry the silverfish (no oil) until very dry then pound or grind the silverfish into powder then mix into NN's porridge. That way, she gets more calcium.

Preferably no salt below the child turns 1 year old.

 

[pishako]

ivy, need to pay for changing motor if under warranty? how long do they take to change too?

 

[genesis28]

Any mummies ordering ting kat? Any recommendation? Mi n hubby eat outside food till super sianz liao....

 

[eyevee]

may, no need to pay for changing motor if under warranty, that is if the motor not damage by u. on the spot they change.

 

[ainsley_yip]

Ivy, thks. Dun need le cos she jus went to buy Liao. I think I may intro these few days. U?

Pauline, u meant let nn eat rht? Can jus cook w/o fry? Bt strain everything including the porridge?

 

[kitsune_sg]

Ainsley, frying it make it dry, easier to grind. After that put the powder into airtight bottle n keep in fridge n u can mix in 1 teaspoon into nn's porridge to boil. Very convenient.

 

[pishako]

Ivy, ic.. Thanks. Am thinking of sending in to service before warranty ends.

Any moms here use infra red thermometer? K rec which brand u use and how much?

 

[miuy]

May- mi use the infra thermometer !! Bot from a spree here.. Something guard... Tink 115!! U wanna buy? Tink quite good le..

 

[ainsley_yip]

Pauline, I m thinking of cook fresh... It's better to cook fresh? Can they eat after straining the silverfish?

 

[pishako]

Miumiu, yes.. I m keen. Is the spree still open?

 

[lollipop_baby]

ainsley: r u looking 4manual or electric pump?

 

[genesis28]

Any mummies order ting kat b4??

 

[gg_lee]

Hi shokel, usually they recommend gradual switch to stage 2 milk by changing one feed per day for first 3 days, then increase to 2 feeds next 3 days and so on. My pd also advise this method.

The other method I heard of is people mix 1 scoop of step 2 into their step 1 when preparing milk. But somehow my PD dun recommend this method..dunno why..

Any mummies tried both enfapro and similac step 2? Which one is better huh?

 

[gg_lee]

skinniebeanie, wah, ur baby try so many things already!! Can give them meat already? I so far only give veg and fruits..seems like mummies trying out fish already..

 

[shokel]

[kitsune_sg]

Ainsley, oic, i am not sure then cos the texture of boiled silverfish a bit rough leh, personally I won't dare to give to raelynn yet. if cook fresh, I will rather try threadfin or cod fish first cos softer.

 

[faithfu7]

shokel ya nan ha dont have that much foam, mamil i shake shake still cannot really dissolve and by the time i shake got a lot of foam lol.. but my girl like the taste i think .. she can drink finish.. supplement helps ah? ok will go take a look cos i realised after giving birth i stop drinking milk maybe not enough calcium the hair keep dropping.. hahah

oh so fish can start already? do you cook porridge? as in whole grain .. never grind the rice then feed already? ok maybe i should try too..

 

[flipfreak]

hi all! i'm nt a MTB but a Dec DTB. anyone else who is a dad who logs in here?

 

[lileen19]

ainsley silverfish fresh, cook n strain is ok. But get the bigger silverfish. There is another type the very small one. That is very difficult to wash n hv more sand n dirty.

Can can. No prob, n thx for the update.

 

[calamari]

Ainsley: thanks

In the end I bought Organix from Vitakids at United Square as they just restocked. Bought like 15 boxes of cereal...ahahahah!

 

[ainsley_yip]

Pauline, oic.. Mayb I wil jus cook n nt give nn 1st.Hehe

I gt my 2nd appt date Liao! 30/8!! Yippie.. Hope my reno is nt gg to take me long.

 

[ainsley_yip]

Calamari, wahaha.. I stocked 9 boxes alr alot. U stock 15? Hehe.. Bt r u gg to intro porridge to Noah soon?

 

[calamari]

Ainsley: I prefer cereal for the time being cos at least I know that it contains the essential nutrients for baby, hehe. Also, easier to bring cereal out when baby eats with us outdoor. Plan to only intro porridge next month

 

[evonchan]

Hi Genesis..

U try mom's cooking or kim's kitchen. Mom's cooking a bit exp but nice. I did not try but my fren told me is good.

http://www.momscooking.com.sg/menu.html

 

[senz]

Wah calamari 15 boxes! Super sud! u cleared their stock le mah? Haa.. But organix cereal no iron inside rite? I haf to keep thinking of natural irons to add inside cos my boy prefers organix cereal to the other brands. Sigh

 

[genesis28]

Thks evon will go take a look!

 

[calamari]

Luwen: I very lazy to go back Vitakids to buy leh, so stocked up. Then always no stock, very fed up, esp the banana and apple ones. I never noticed about that it has no iron haha.

 

[pishako]

calamari & ain, is organix always out of stock? that's a lot! I see it quite often leh..

anyone tried bellamy? i saw that there's baby rice and baby porridge. What is the difference bet bellamy's baby porridge and the porridge that we cook?

 

[ainsley_yip]

Calamari, wahaha.. I stocked 9 boxes alr alot. U stock 15? Hehe.. Bt r u gg to intro porridge to Noah soon?

 

[ainsley_yip]

Calamari, paiseh, double post.. Noah can finish so many ah? Keke. Bt I oso think cereal is gd cos gt necessary vitamin.. U bought the banana flavour? Super nice!

 

[snowpear]

Hi May,
The former contains rice powder whereas the latter contains oats + millets.
I read that oats contains gluten so it is advisable to intro when BB reaches 6mth.

Ingredient different.
Rice grains are used for our porridge whereas bellamy uses oats/millets for their porridge.
I'm alternating oats and rice for my boy's porridge.
I cook rolled oats using slow cooker instead of grinding it.

 

[snowpear]

ainsley,
I luv the banana flavour too!!!!
Smell like holicks leh...
Yet to try the apple flavour... Always OOS.

 

[pooh81]

genesis28 (genesis28) : sorry now then see your post. ON no more discount le...

 

[smalldreams]

calamari
15 boxes? wow, did you wipe out everything? how much was a box uh? Organix brand is it?

Ainsley
Started intro porridge already? How's nn's sleep patterns? I'm resigned to co-sleeping, (see my panda eyes)

Re : cereals
I have a big tin of nestle rice & a small tin of brown rice cereal but really prefer the organic ones simply coz they're sucrose free! Come to think of it, I have 23 opened cereals concurrently - 1 oatmeal, 1 brown rice, 1 millet

 

[macjoe]

any mummies got any recipe to share?

 

[mianling]

Wow calamari, u stock up so many! My first tin of Happybellis still not finish, why can last so long de? i keep wishing to finish soon so can try others. haha

How much cereal u all giving to bb now? Dunno if i'm giving too little or not, that's why one tin last ssoooo long. Each feed i give abt 1/3 of the pigeon orange bowl.

I'm going to intro porridge soon too. mummies u all use normal white colour rice or brown rice? Think i'll be using brown rice and cook until very soft.

 

[ainsley_yip]

Snowpear, ya! Smell sooo nice. Haha. I tried the apple n oso apple rasberry. Bt I still like the banana most. Haha.

Dreams, nn's slp still the same! Last night every 1.5hr till I buay tahan n put her beside me. Then she stopped her ehhh n looked at me n used one of her hand to try hug me. N fell aslp on her own. =_='
I intro porridge oso le. Cook either with carrot, corn, broccoli, sweet potato, spinach..

Liling, I nw give nn 80-90ml of bm with 4tbsp of cereal. Sometimes add fruit purée as well. Like 1/4 avocado. Nn can finish leh. Anyway, she lovessss food. Bt duno y still so tiny..

 

[macjoe]

mummies is NESTLÉ® CERELAC® Infant Cereal Brown Rice gd?

 

[ainsley_yip]

I hv some nestle cereal sample given by pd. Pm me if anyone wants.

 

[macjoe]

wat type of banana can we give our little one?
