Sweetkiss, Eliss, Caris and ica: sorry if this comes in late ( really caught up with work) but a big thank you for sharing words of wisdom/ your experiences. Ica, thank you for that article. Actually I know that our babies are all unique and cannot be generalized. I won't let others control the way I feel abt my baby. Most importantly, I know her strengths and she's healthy too.
Good morning mummies!
Ica: You really very hardworking lei. I am very lazy one. Don't think will DIY so many things on my own. Hehe!!
Bday Cake: I had also placed an order for cupcake with Yan last year. But then now I am wondering should I use cupcakes as dessert and purchase another cake for Kayden? Or combine both together. Meaning using a cupcake stand, place the bigger cake on the top most and then surround it with cupcake on the other levels.
cheese: Yesterday I bought this kid cheese from Marketplace for Kayden. I was thinking if it is ok for kid, then should be ok for baby ba. I did read through the ingredients and it does contain this enzyme called rennet. So it's not microbial enzyme. Alot doesn't really state what enzymes they use so I dare not buy.

Ann: U wanted to use the cupcakes as the birthday cake at first? For me im ordering a normal bd cake, then I will get cupcakes from my hub’s friend (as he set up his own bakery shop, must support lol) but I will pack the cupcakes individually in those transparent boxes so the guests can bring home like a sort of favour if no one eats them.. then the kids will get small gifts or something.
Cheese is something new! Im still not that adventurous yet. So far feeding K with the “safer” & same old boring foods but gonna explore.. I still dun dare to feed her egg yolk..

Sweetkiss: Yup, wanted to use cupcakes as bday cake at first but then I think like very plain. So trying to make the bday more interesting.
Jonas: You bought Kampong egg from where? Kayden had not take egg yet. Dun dare to let him eat too.
Not sure if NTUC sell lei. But if you interested to let Javion try, I can give you one. In case he don't like then it also won't be wasted.

Cheese: haha.. yeah time for cheese to buy cheese & feed baby cheese~
Im going to try egg yolk…
Eliss: Wow.. K haven’t started pork! I only used pork bones to brew the porridge.
She is a small eater. Very xian when I put so much goodies in the porridge & she only eats half a bowl!
Which part of pork did u buy?

Me too, not very adventurous! Dare not feed yolk & cheese yet. Always the same old menu. Pork and chicken also haven't give (only used to make stock only). Fish so far only feed threadfin.
Kampong Eggs: I usually buy the Chew's Kampong Eggs (http://www.chewsegg.com/generic_eggs.html). Most supermarkets should have.

Morning, all!
Ann: it's a case of mommy wanting her dream birthday party. lol. i mean, our babies won't remember a thing about their 1st birthday parties unless they look thru the pics when they're older lor. i'm not that hardworking lah.
wow! you and JP placed your orders since last year? i'll be ordering something like this - the main cake is only 6" wide. then for the rest of the guests, will order like 50 cupcakes from the same baker, just simple butercream frosting and I'll add my own picks on each cupcake, just to match the theme
[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/2495852/5342532.jpg]
Re: Cheese - if it's stated just "enzymes" on the ingredients list, it's usually microbial or the manufacturers do not know. this is according to online articles. organic cheeses usually are rennet-free but go thru the ingredients list
Sweetkiss: me also not that adventurous - haven't started H on cheese, egg yolk, meat. bought some organic tomatoes yesterday to let H try. let's see whether there's any allergic reaction. shouldn't be lah coz yesterday she had some strawberry yogurt melts and she was ok. tomato and strawberry - raw ones have higher acidity levels, so advisable to intro to babies after 1 yo but cooked ones should be ok.

Bday cake: I am thinking of getting jelly cake for my bb's party in msia coz couldn't find nice cuppies/fondant cake baker there. For the small party in Sg, will get a fondant cake.

For cheese, I also saw organic cheese too but it also state enzyme.. that's why I don't dare to buy too.
Jonas: I can pass to you when we meet or if you Saturday free during morning, then drop by lo. Or I can see you at chong pang on Sat cause I am going marketing. Sunday bringing Kayden to Sentosa. Hehe!!

Any new green veg to intro bb?
Swim wear:
Bbs who go swimming in pulic pool, do you all let bb wear thermal swimwear? Or just swim diaper? where to buy thermal swimwear from?

charliebrown: I just let kayden wear swim truck or swim diaper. Not buying thermal swimwear. Choose about 4pm to go swim and if weather is hot during daytime, then water will be warm by 4pm. I also did bring kayden to swim once at about 1pm like that. Water also ok for him.
vernie: pooh is cute! you're having your party in Penang?
fazzy: your baby drinks Similac? i have a $5 discount voucher, do you want it? i think the expiry is May/June. can't remember the exactly when
CB: what have you given baby? spinach (local, US, australia), chye sim, kailan, broccoli, brocollete, cabbage, celery, okra. i guess any green vege is ok but i've not tried the last 3

Ann: oh! thanks! Then did you apply sunblock on Kayden? Cos it will be his first time swimming, somemore in cold water, scared bb will cry.
ica: So far only spinach, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, green peas. Din know can intro Kailan or chye sim already..heheh

Oh, chicken I use chicken thigh coz I read wholesomebaby food it has the most nutrients or something.
Also the meat there is more tender..
Fish I also tried fresh silverfish and threadfin only. I wanted to give cod fish coz I myself loves it but my mum also told me not to give cod fish yet due to some reason I cant rem..
By the way, wad else to give to help constipation? My girl rejects prunes, pears, papayas & nectarines.
She still has blood-streaked stools though she doesn’t cry or fuss during pooing.

CB: today my baby will also be swimming in a real pool for the 1st time, weather permitting but i won't be there - my sis in town so she'll handle it. kekeke. some babies will cry lor coz not used to cold water, so maybe you can try putting some cold water on baby before going into the pool to let baby get used to it? yeah, go around 4pm like what Ann does.
CB: oh yes, asparagus. tried it on baby but she doesn't like. broccoli is from kailan family, so if broccoli can, kailan also can. i use the leafy parts only. siew pak choy also can. haven't tried it yet. actually green vege shouldn't cause any allergic reaction - my theory. hehe
vernie: so your sis will have to drive fast and in the morning? won't the jelly cake start to melt/water? but it's something unique and colourful [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

ica: i think can put in cooler box with ice pack? Getting sis to enquire and see how it goes. KL to ipoh is about 2 hours plus, think should be ok. Initially i wanted to bring the fondant cake from Sg all the way back to ipoh (8/9 hrs journey)! After discussing with the baker, i think better not to take the risk. Some more fondant cakes are not cheap.
Ann: i did a search on baby sunblock. hehehe. as long as it has zinc oxide or titanium oxide is good enough. avoid avobenzene or something similar - cancer causing wor. i bought one and just read that it has avobenzene, so am going to return it. there's this brand for babies called 'blue lizard' from Oz but dunno where to get it
vernie: fondant cake all the way from Spore? ya, better not

Cheese: how's ur BB J now ? Better?
My BB C went last weekend to babyspa at northpoint.
Dont worry about having flu and cough... as these doesnt affects the swimming...
i bring BB C there thou she still have slight flu. As bb needs to work out their limbs u see...
My BB at IFC do have such cases too... just standby the medicine on hand, when abit flu give 1-2 dose for the day in the IFC. a day or 2 will recover and give BB J have lots of fruits at home... as got Vit. in those fresh fruits.
I keep my BB C hydrate at times with 100plus diluted ... 1part water with 2-3 parts 100plus once a week.
do give those chewable vit. tabs too I give half tab to her 2 times a week to chew... sometimes forget lar... hahaha !
think this should be able to upkeep ur BB J's health and those virus in IFC.
or maybe u can feedback to the sch to ask them to open up windows on some days to ventilate the IFC area... my bb's IFC ventilate the IFC area once a week or on raining days as its cool so no need on air con and can ventilate the area too...

Sweetkiss: Pigeon got sun block ah? Where u buy it?
Jonas: You can feed fruit as morning break or tea break. Or also can give as "tidbits".. meaning instead of giving biscuits, we can give fruits. Now I cut the fruits into strips and let Kayden hold and feed himself when I dun feel like letting him eat so much tidbits.

Boh chupness:
Hahah! I only boh chup when it comes to the 4 days rule for new food. Now I don't really wait till 4 days to intro new food. Just 2 or 3 days gap. I also don't steam the fruits anymore..just scrape and feed. But have not fed bb with "adult" food yet.

actually i'm thinking of not using sunblock at all. haha
sweetkiss: if your baby's constipation is still not getting better, you can feed her sugar water. can check the web for the dosage for babies. the logic is that sugar draws water to the intestines, so making pooing easier
