Peanut, my gal is taking Mamex Gold HA too! can be found in cold storage, i always buy mine from causeway point cold storage as my PIL live there.
It's the best HA milk i know, after comparing the nutrients with the others, it's even better than some normal FM.
There was once my MIL said we cannot let bb''s stomach to be overly protected, so we gave half scoop of Similac, she had serious diarrhoea! and LS for 2 weeks. not going to feed her other FM till she is 1 year old now.. also only going to start intro solid ( i also stopped her cereal intake) when she is 6 months old.

Hello Mommies,
For those who fed your babies FM, can I know which brand your babies are on?
I've been feeding my baby Mamex Gold and he has been taking it well and his weight growth is also good but I realised it causes alot of phelgm in my baby..so i'm thinking of switching to some other brands..
So would like to hear which are the more popular brands out there...heard Enfa quite good but it seems a little heaty

Hi mummies,
has anyone taken studio photos with bb and grandparents? I want to find a photography package to take with bb, 2 grandparents, my sister and me. Looking for a good recommendation.

supergal: I am giving my boy Nan Pro. He is quite ok with it. Poop every 2 to 3 days. I heard Nan HA is even better and easier to digest. Normally those bbies who take that will poop everyday.
Jonas: You want to give him "Jing Feng San"? Kayden also like that. When he behave this way, I will give him abit of Jing Feng San and he will be ok soon. But depend on how open you are to this idea la cause some mummies are more westernised kind so they cannot accept giving Jing Feng San to baby. I think Javion might have been traumatised. If you wan, I can bring over to let Javion try. Then if you find it good, you can go buy one for him at Chong Pang mkt.

Hello mummies!
supergal: my bb drinks Nan HA. He poos everyday, sometimes on alternate days, poo is greenish.
Switch to Step 2 FM
How do mummies switch to step 2? Do you intro one feed first, or mix the power with step 1? Or just change totally? To intro step 2 after 6 mths or slightly b4 that so to get bb used to it?
Happybellies brown rice cereal
Bbs feeding on brown rice cereal, so far ok? Cos read that brown rice can be heaty..

Charlie: I am also feeding my BB NAN HA. But I am still feeding her Step 1.
Where u buy ur FM? How much?
NAN HA is pretty EXPENSIVE... I saw in Giant selling price is a few bucks cheaper then NTUC.
I changing after my BB finish her last can of Step 1 first. Will change directly as I think the flavour is the same only different is fats percentage is lower (HB is more concern and will read and compare each popular brands in the market).
Presently feeding cereal with milk (about 2 tablespoon)in the evening after work when I reach home around 8pm.
As my BB got the habit of having her night feeding of 5oz with brown rice again(around 10pm), before sleeping. Sometimes can finish sometimes she just reject after having 2-3oz.
How you mummies actually puree carrots, veg, etc ?

wanna check with u mummies who do DF for your BBs.
Cuz my boy still wakes up once a night for his feed.
E.g. Last feed @ 5pm. Next feed s'pose to be 9pm but normally he'll sleep at 7pm until 1am for his feed, then sleep till 6.30am.
One of my friends said when she DF her baby, she will just put the milk bottle teat into her bb's mouth while she's sleeping (i.e. as if sucking on pacifier).
But then wldn't the baby choke or it'll take a long time to feed the BB?
Pls advise mummies, tks!

vivi: You are back? How is Hokkaido? Especially the plane journey? Tedious with bb ard?
For first food, I started Kayden on Bellamy Organice rice cereal.
charliebrown: For me, when I switched K from Nan Pro 1 to Nan Pro 2, I will do 2 scoops of Pro 2 and 4 scoops of Pro 1 for the whole day. Then next day is 3 scoops of Pro 2 to 3 scoops of Pro 1. Then, the ratio is 4:2 for another day. Then I change totally to Pro 2 liao.
I also heard brown rice is heaty so I feed K brown rice only during weekend when he is home.
xbeanniex: You can boil or steam them till tender, then put into the blender to puree them or can mashed them up.

Beannie: I used to buy from NTUC, $40++, yeah v exp! And bb can finish one tin v v fast! But nowadays, my hubby always asks his parents to buy the FM. hahah! Each time buy 3 tins at one shot! The only good thing they do for my bb. 
junie: I am still DFing my bb at 11pm. Cos his last feed at 8pm, zzing by 9pm. I will carry him up and feed him. He will zz and drink at the same time. I think it is so dangerous to feed bb while bb is sleeping flat.
I intend to stop Dfing him soon.

JP: ya, i read from somewhere too. I will not attempt that lah, scared wait my boy choke or what.
charliebrown: why u wanna stop DFing your BB liao?
I thought I want to start DFing him, so that he can drink @ 10pm, then sleep till 6.30am for his next feed (hopefully). But if I carry him to feed him while he was still sound asleep...scared he'll awake & cry. Aiyo..headache.

oh ya, i believe most of our babies can start recognising pple already.
My boy is so timid, everytime unfamiliar faces come straight up close to him (not even carrying him) just to see him or play/talk to him, he'll start to cry liao.
Hehee...aiyo
Any of your BBs like that?
To think every weekend we bring my boy out and everyday, when he's staying over @ my ILs plc, they will bring him downstairs walk walk everyday leh.

I also still DF my bb at 10.30pm.. but wanna bring forward to before he sleep. Then hopefully with a full stomach, he can sleep longer. But he will still wake up at 4am to ask me to pat him to sleep one. Dunno why.
For oral care, I always use the dental wipe to wipe his gums and tongue everyday.

Ann: your bb very "deh" you one. Closer to you than ur hubby.

Ann- back. We didn't go Hokkaido . Went central japan instead. Damn cold. Bb most of the time in the pram. So poor thing. Didn't take much photo of him too [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] he is ok in e plane. Behave e same as at hm[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
my boy with anyone is ok de. who carry him also can. but hor, i realise when he tired.. he will see here and there, like yesterday we took bus to nearby, he stare at each of the passenger that come up the bus, and he "bian chui'' each time he see one person.
So funny! then he will look up to his daddy who is carrying him, then bian chui again.
Like wanna cry but never.. give us warning only.. so cute, i cant stop laughing.

charliebrown: You are right.. super deh lo. Just now I brought carrot puree over to my in law house so that he can have them. He saw me and smile. Maid was carrying him. I walked to the kitchen to put the carrot puree in the fridge. He never see me, he cry loudly. The maid quickly carry him to the kitchen and once he saw me, he stop crying. I have to sneak off when he is napping sia.

Ann- it was definitely fun for my #1 but nt for #2. Stayed indoor most of the time n my hb n #1 will be out enjoying. Feel guilty for bb as #1 went central japan in winter when he was 7 mth old. N we certainly stayed outdoor more n more fun for #1 then. N we took more photos for #1 as compared to #2 now. But nevertheless we had a great family time bonding !

Junie,
I am df my boy at 10pm and the next feed would be at 6am. Normally before the df, i will change his diaper, so he will wake up. Then when i am dfing him, normally he will drink and doze off. So by the end of the feed, he is always asleep. Then i will put him back into his cot and he will continue to sleep.
Rgding recognising familiar faces,
Ya, i realised that S started to recognise our faces recently. Like yesterday, when i reached my parents’ house, i saw him sitting in the rocker. So i walked over to say hello to him then stood up wanting to go to the dinning table to have my dinner. The min i stood up and turn away, he started crying and extended his arms out, ie he wan me to carry. But so far he is ok with strangers. In fact i think he prefers females more than male! He will smile at the females but as for males, sometimes he will smile but sometimes he just give a blank look lol..but the funny thing is, he will cry the min my MIL carries him. He is fine with my FIL and BIL...its just my MIL .. dunno why
Think soon, i need to remove the wet wipes and diapers that i normally place at a corner in his cot. Why? Cos the way he sleeps is terrible! He can turn and turn and turn in his cot. One min his head is facing north, next min, his head can be facing south, east or west .. do you mommies face this problem?

suntan>> tks for the info. maybe i can try that method too.
as for BB sleeping in the cot, i'll only put him in the cot to sleep during his daytime naps.
actually, now i'm quite scare to put him in the cot, cuz when he's in there & not sleeping, he will flip on his front then the head sometimes will turn here, turn there to look everywhere. Then he'll hit his head on the side of the cot (cuz cot bumper not high enough).

suntan - My bb also can turn 360 degree sometime when in playpen and sometime can flip to tummy and slep dangerous so have to kp monitor him.
My bb can flip to tummy but if i place him on tummy not flip by himself he will cry and till nw he still cannot lift up his head when place on tummy, quite worried. I thought should be able to lift up head then can flip but my boy like opposite any mummies here bb also like this?

Haa, so I m not alone! I wonder wats the pillow for since most of the time his head is somewhere else.
Yukidog,
You have to put ur bb on tummy time to train his neck. It also took S quite a while before he can lift up his head when on tummy. Now he has learnt to flip from his front back onto his back, so I m not too worry when I find him sleeping on his tummy cos I know he can flip back if he is uncomfortable in tat position.

charliebrown, beannie: My bb also taking Nan HA. I buy from http://www.luvbabies.kimsang.com.sg/. I will order up to $200 each time so that I can get free delivery. Is Giant the cheapest so far? But Giant not so convenient for me to go lei...
Hello mummies, I'm clearing my freezer of EBM expressed in October when baby was 3mths old. Does anyone know of any mummies who do not mind accepting? I just find that it's such a waste so I'm using the September stock to give baby milk bath...
By the way, how much rice cereal do you all mix with BM/FM? My gf also told me that we shouldn't aim to replace milk feed with solids. Solids are merely supplements for babies to get their iron from. Otherwise milk is still the best.

Think Keila more joyful. When strangers approach her and talk to her, she will smile/laugh out loud. Maybe she still not aware of term strangers.
Then there was once after we came back from cameron, think she did not finish her milk. She was carried by MIL. Then she looked at me, i spoke to her in face in mandarin, dun bother you! U notty!
Next moment i know she bian chiu and cry!!! Keeps on look at me and cry! Like as if she understood that i reprimanded her. So funny!
Oh Keila is 6 months today lo... The half yr mark!

teether: Hi mommies, I would like to recommend the following teether! I bought it after I saw how much Jaclyn's bb Gareth loves it. After I intro to my bb, he absolutely loves it. Even my MIL says that this is by far the best teether. It is the "training teether step 1 with ring" from Pigeon. UP is ard $7 but now places like Kiddy Palace & Robinson got 20% sale for Pigeon products so only $5.50 =)
