rachel,
i agree that she drank a lot although she take porridge. sometimes i still got to coax her to finish her milk depending on her mood.
mvh,
ya lor... she sleep longer at night.. only day time, she prefer to play than nap but when she can't take it, she will be cranky... my mum had to force her to nap longer especially at noon. only night time we will be free from her.. haha...
bakaholic,
add meat will be nutritious.. more protein... veg is more to fibre and vitamin. dun forget about fish... very nutritious. my mum also add ikan bilis to the porridge so that he can absorb calcium too. my girl started all when she was 5 month...

I google online and found the recommended calcium amount for 6mth- 1 yr to be 270mg. So, can calculate the amount of calcium in fm taken per day.
Mine took enough so i didn't add ikan billis. We add meat stock to the porridge with pureed veg. And i give my boy 1 meal of cereal everyday. i haven't start fish yet.

porridge :
i think depends on wat ingredients u added into the porridge, it will be equally nutritional.. protein, calcium, fibre, carbo, fats and iron , all can be added. the babies last time grew up with porridge, also as healthy and fit..
MVH,
that time when i gave him full FM, he poo 3 times a day..then when i switch back to BM with 1 FM feed, constipate.. strange.. now i switch him back to full BM since yesterday, poo is back to pasty..confused..

Check with mummies , when u all cook porridge with pork , do u all puree the meat n let Bb eat ?
porridge:
i guess porridge can be just as nutritious with the right proportion of ingredients. The challenge is how we can make it as nutritious as cereal/milk. As we can't give them a lot of ingredients yet due to risk of allergy, I think it is easier to just give the cereal with all the calculated amount of nutrients needed for their development. Somemore they are also quite small eater, and my boy starts to display his preference now. When he doesn't like the food, he will pretend he didn't see the spoon or give you the "I want to vomit already".

To check , can all Babies hold bottle themselves when drinking milk ?
Morning,
I read somewhere saying that our Bb shld drink at least 600ml of milk a day.
Whitelady, my sis tot me to buy pork muscle cos its easier to blend. I tried last sun and it works. I cook the meat in porridge then take out to blend/puree and put in back to the porridge. Both my boy and hubby love the porridge. My boy seems to don like fish. He always eat a little fish porridge and stop liao but for pork, he enjoy very much.
I study food and nutrients in sec sch so I will make sure my porridge will have 1 meat and 1 vege (one dish meal). But not sure how ifc cook their porridge leh. Don think they add vege. I'm thinking of cooking my own and bring to ifc every morning but very tiring leh.

Jas, teacher huang say they will add carrot, potato and blend with porridge.. and say Javion love it so much
at times will be pumpkin with brocoli.. everyday will be 2 vege de..
no fish of course.
It will of course benefit your boy if you cook ur own! but what time u need to wake up? Then the fish u put inside the thermal pot and bring to them ah?? Will be long hours liao? Nutrients still there?

Rachel, your pd asked u to feed bb more cereal since he don't like milk. Did he recommend any other food to supplement? Eg cheese yoghurt?
I tried mamil on my gal ytd for 1 feed. She drank 140ml compared to less than 100ml for Nan Pro. So I think switching brand helps. But I don't understand why she suddenly don't like NAN. She was drinking 150ml when I first started her on it. I am already running out of brands of milk powder for her to try.

cheese, my sis say nutrients show be still there. Jus that a bit lesser. I also don know what time I mus wake up. Nvr dare to plan. Very tiring. Shld be continue to ask ifc to provide. But I did tell them no maccroni and mee sua. If that day is this 2 food, then my boy will hav brown rice cereal.
Teacher huang told me they cook fish or meat porridge leh. So they do add vege as well.

cheese,
better check with them how many times they feed carrots and pumpkins..both high in Vit A, will cause the skin to go yellow, especially carrots. twice a week is ok, not everyday.
my mum's neighbour, everyday put carrots for the baby porridge, baby's skin turns yellow after 2wks..

re: meat
my mum say don't give meat yet, can use meat for cooking soup stock but don't give them eat yet, scared their digestive sys cannot take it...

don't think so young they'll give maccroni and mee sua right, usu for toddlers and above leh...
my boy some sought of skip cereal... initially when I feed cereal for a day, he don't like and finish few spoons only then turn his face away so start him on porridge and he loves it...

eeyore, my ifc served maccroni and mee sua to all infants. They will blend the maccroni. Mee sua jus serve as it is. I don wan my boy to eat mee sua cos it contain salt. Somemore he got gastric flu after he had his 1st mee sua in ifc. So I got phobia of mee sua now.
First time I give a bit of meat to my boy and no meat the next day to see hows his poo. If poo ok, then I continue. I started him on fish 2 weeks ago then pork last weekend. I only start when he 7mths old.

white,
i usually throw in the veg 1 hour after the slow cooker cooks the grains. actually, the nutrients will still go to the porridge lar..so still ok.. sometimes i lazy, i steam the vege together with the fish..then chop finely the vege and mix with the porridge to feed .. steaming is slightly better than boiling when it comes to nutrient loss..

my PD says cereal has all the nutrients so no need to supplement anything. But if baby constipate, can give him apple/prune juice. He also told me not to give him too much carrot or those orangey food cos carotene will make the baby orangey.
I still give him carrot, pumpkin, avocado, apple puree just to let him try out different food. He doesn't like spinach and broccoli, so dont know what kind of green veg to give him now. I just bought baby corn, will give him today.
PD also told me that avocado is very good for him, as it has high fat content. He said no need to add milk powder into the cereal. If I want to, then make sure i give him enough water.

White lady,
I usually will take out the cube and let it thaw in the fridge. Or i will microwave to thaw and then throw into the ready porridge.
Mine no teeth too.
No outside food for them till further notice. I very strict with that. And my parents are ok with it. Not sure about the grandaunts but i always have my boy within my sight just in case they secretly feed him as i have seen them feeding my other nieces and nephews.
Btw, i tot corn is harder to digest so can only intro after 1yr old?

Hi Mummies,
Can u all share with me what are the policy plans that you bought for your darlings & from which coy?
Basically Im looking into a life insurance with protection & savings & hospitalisation plan which allows us to claim 100% of the bill.

Sunflower, jasmine I juz went to cold storage n bought organic spinach..only got one type. luckily not alot of soil at e roots. I saw ntuc ones got super lotsa soil.. Dunno round or sharp.. Can't really tell.. Usually I throw in e veg together to cook in food jar.. So for spinach more troublesome orh.. Need to cook separate..
Outside/adult food..
I saw my mil give my gal eat minced pork coated with egg at 6+ months.. She cooks one.. Quite salty coz brown color.. I told her off that she can't eat salty food n somemore egg! After that she din dare to give her, at least not within my sight..
I will try to cook porridge even when bb is 1 yr old.. Wanna them eat healthily.. My elder gal also eat porridge for a long time, now either mil or me will still cook porridge for her dinner ard 2-3 times per week..
Teeth..
Dun worry.. My elder gal has her 1st tooth at 11months.. Read that can up to 12m n it is genetic.. If either u or hubby is late teether, bb might be one..
