charliebrown: According to www.wholesomebabyfood.com, it is Ok to feed grapes now once they reach 8mths of age. however, must mash and mix with their current food and not just serve on its own. Not too sure why, they didn't state the reason !

Jac - to minimise the risk of choking by not serving grape on its own...
claudia - I however find the Leapfrog more interesting but my DD is still keen on the pop-tivity after 1 month... now she will not protest long if we leave her in the yard... she will entertain herself

Regarding drinking with straw - My boy manage to drink with mag mag cup. He tried for 3 days & he manage to drink from the straw however he still can't estimate the flow therefore he will get choke if he drink too fast...or if not water dip down from his mouth...
He started off with biting the straw (dun know is it before he's teething or not) then slowly drink from it.

kepsis, got your PM - have added you to the waitlist
claudia, initially i started off with those commercial jarred baby foods, so those are steamed and pureed fruit. then decided to ditch commercial and go fresh when bb was about 7.5 mths - from then on, i haven't been steaming the fruit. usually will mash/scrape, except for apple, which we scrape
my babies has tried these fresh - apple, banana, papaya, pear, plum, peach
next up - blueberry
julie, i can think of these foods that you can give as finger food - blueberry, banana, any vege that can be cubed and cooked to soften.
so far my baby has only had rice cakes. hahaha. yesterday i gave her a HB puff but she didn't know it was food, so didn't put it into her mouth. i popped it in and observed while she gummed - she could move it to the side of her mouth and "chew". test passed! so now can give it to her as snacks

SK: Yes, i give the maid a set of keys but not the complete set. Gave her the wooden door and padlock key. The grill door key i don't give. So on the day she comes, i have to make sure i don't lock the grill door when i leave for work. Oh, i also started giving the keys only after we are comfortable with her, ie, after we supervised her for a few weeks.
Yeah, now bb is crawling, gotta keep the floor clean. I find once a week done by the PT maid not enough, think i have to find time to do another round myself during the week.

Caris: Pigeon Mag Mag w straw is for 8mths onwards so I just try straw since my boy bites those cups with spout. Reckoned that eventually must drink from straw since many water bottles come with straw... hehe, have not tried to let him drink from cup yet coz he is not able to old a cup properly, much less drink from it.
Mommies, just wondering, what is the recommended foods to start with for finger feeding? Coz my boy does not like the teething rusks - puts all other non-food into his mouth, but for the rusks, he licks a bit, then throws aside. Tried puffs too, but coz he is drooling a lot, the puffs stick to his chubby fingers and they dun find their way into his mouth lei...

Finger Foods - I started off with chunks of cooked apple, pear and broccoli trees around 6.5 mths when she had her 2 bottom teeth. Initially, she doesn't know how to swallow, so she ended up with lots of food in her mouth, like a hamster and unhappy. I had to dig out those foods. Found out from another forum, that it is quite common for babies not to swallow but they will learn eventually. So I persisted. Now she's quite happy with most foods.
Grapes - A little apprehensive at first, but I halved the grapes as suggested in the forum and she is ok with it. She will eat the flesh and the skin is left behind. Same for peach, she will eat the flesh and leave the skin behind.
Rice crisps are quite good for finger foods too. I bought organic rice crisps from NTUC finest, no salt added, but not specifically for babies, so it's cheaper. I also give her organic puffs from a shop in Tanglin Mall - $5.50 for a huge packet.
She doesn't like food from a spoon and prefers to feed herself, hence I'm cracking my head over finger foods. She likes most fruits but I want her to eat her porridge!!
Self-feeding is messy, but I see it as part of the learning process. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I like her to be independent. In fact, I'm exploring how to set up the home so that she can independently get her toys, things, etc. Anyone has done this before? I think it is along the lines of Montessori concept.

omg teething ! my BB C got her 5th one out till I didn't know !
the upper one on her right side!
she is just too fast !!
but I read on the box of Heinz teething biscuits shown a picture of when bb's teeth will roughly spout out... by 12mths old bb should have about 4 on top 4 on the bottom.... is this correct ?

my key concern on self feeding is that bb will choke... since he has got not teeth and in any case he seems to be just swallowing rather than chewing first. What's ur experience in that regard. Am keen to start him on self feeding...
vernie
I did speed shopping @ robinson's earlier. Didn't see anything else that catches my eye tho... Most are like 10% + 20% for card holders... Lamaze is 20%... Bazaar items seem more for new borns (avent and medela) Pigeon wipes usual 10.50 for 3

Claudia: Did you buy the leapfrog table for bb RF? My concern is also similar to yours, scared bb will choke. But nowadays I blend all veg/fruits very quickly so that they are bigger in pieces, but still soft, and not that mashy anymore. Maybe you can chew in front of him and see if he can mimick you. Normally they will gum their food although no teeth.
Beannie: Wah so fast! My bb's 4th teeth is just coming out. His gum is still abit swollen so when I wipe it, he will give me a horrid look. but I am still waiting for him to crawl!!!!!

Mine is bo-gay too!
Charliebrown - yeah.. i bot the leap frog table.. i thot would be good to let him try to pull himself up. Height is about half the height of the stool. But it is quite slippery.. maybe put on the play mat would prevent it from moving...
