(2010/09) September 2010 MTB


mummyliang, thanks! todae was the 1st attempt and she seems to accept it, as in lean forward and open her mouth for more. of course, still unable to swallow properly as it dribbles out of the mouth. but hor, she no poo todae (normally poo 3-4 times per day)...dunno izit too "heaty". must give her water? all this while, she is on total bm and no water. the cereal i oso mix in bm.

 
Sugar - truth be told. I have not introduced solid to my dd yet so I'm just sharing with you what I read. =) Yes you can give water but not too much especially if her milk intake is fully ebm (?). Also, barley/barley water is good for constipation. =)

 
Ange

I give pearl barley purée but stop now as he is unwell . Not sure if they can take everyday as barley is consider liang.



Sugar

U can give water not more than 2oz a day.



I agree with ur ang, that's y my name is still not on the list for photoshoot

 
Apple - yo babe... welcome back to sunny singapore... Alison is in Aussie, Shufen move house.. once all the dust settles, lets meet up!!! =)



sugar - Germaine on total BM also.. her cereal all mixed with BM.. so far she's been on baby rice, oatmeal and barley cereal.. puree - spinach, broccoli, carrot and butternut pumpkin.. and from 4-5 times of poop a day, it's been reduced to 1 poop a day.. but ydae, she didn't pop... i give her water throughout the day, and like what phyphy mentioned, no more than 2oz a day... i will let her sip constantly throughout the day...



phyphy - i just realised that u were same class as Cynthia (Hui Shi).. not sure if u still remember her, she was from band.. and this also means that when i was in Sec 1 and 2, we shared the same classroom... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
i will be taking 1 year old photos for my girl around July, Aug period... photographer Cottony Photography... she was the one who did my girl's 14 days old photoshoot... anyone interested?? if so, i can help negotiate for a better package... but i will only email her probably in May ba... anyone interested, PM me ba...

 
babymaine:

How many portions of solids does Germaine eats a day? Mine still at stage one..at IFC finishes her cereals, at home refuse..she does not like carrot so started her on pumkin,hope she likes it..is broccoli recommended? tot more for older bb..what kind of spinanch u use? baby spinach (ang mo type) or the usual chinese spinach the green vs the green/red?



Phyphy: what is the nutritious value of barley rice? reading this chinese book on weaning..they talk about the diff constitutions of the bb..i know bb cold type then barley might not be gd..

 
Aries mum - 2 portions.. her typical feed is like this..



when she wakes up (either 6 plus or 7 plus)- 150mL BM

10 plus - 40mL BM mixed with 3 scoops of cereal + 100mL BM

1 plus - 150mL BM

4 plus/ 5 plus - 1 baby cube of puree + 100mL BM

8 plus - 150mL BM



broccoli - causes gas.. i only give her to "clear" the veggie of allergies...

spinach - organic spinach seems like all is chinese de ba... green de...

Yvonne - the one we bought same ar?? anyway it looks like kang kong.. and the packaging put "yin choy".. so is chinese or ang moh one??

 
babymaine

Why no more than 2oz a day of water a day?



My bb show sign of coughing since Saturday, suspect is due to cereal (heaty? and not drinking water).

 
Yvonne - OIC.. thanks for informing...



Sab - water = empty calories.. plus it's only for quenching of thirst, not to make them feel full...

 
Hai,

My boy still rejecting water, but i realise one way he will drink..i make him lie down conmfortably..then i use spoon to feed him..he got no way to push the water out..then he drink abit..but this way i scare will choke him..

 
Sab - about 50mL, sometimes more depending on weather also... carrot puree is just steam and blend.. then the water from steaming if u feel too much then just pour some away before blending.. then when feeding if too dry, just add milk...

 
BabyMaine

Thanks. I try again, made carrot puree on Sunday. I boiled the baby carrot for 15 min and hubby helped to belnd, but the texture not smooth, he kept blending, but not like those fb pic of yours and Yvone.



Bb respond was not good, she kept giving us the yuck face. She likes cereal better.

 
BabyMaine

And oh, we bought the rocker after alot alot of thinking, and we are more convince after your sharing. Is easier to feed her on the rocker than the walker. We feed her milk on the rocker too. Both works well. Hope this investment will last as long as possible. We have no plan for high chair. maybe when she older can sit on herself, then buy those non cushion type (cheaper).

 
Sab,

other than wat babymaine has suggested, I think it is better that u monitor charlotte's poo in order to determine how much water to give her. Denise's stool turns rather dry if she takes less than 60ml a day. So I guess the amt of water depends on bb since every bb is unique.

Morning!



Carrot puree

Sab- U using normal or baby carrots? If normal, did u scrape off the outer layer/skin? Scrape for the puree to be smooth.



Badfifi- Read that u found this luna luna seller selling the fisher price jumperoo cheaper. Did u manage to view their facebook? They really selling brand new one at $120? I can't find and view their facebook page leh

 
Sab - i'm very against feeding on walker, exersaucer blah blah blah.. cos i want maine to cultivate the habit of eat = eat.. not eat = play if feeding is done in exersaucer.. plus i want her to focus on eating, so even the tv is off.. that time my ang ask why must buy high chair, why cannot feed in exersaucer.. then i asked him, restaurant got exersaucer?? and also, it's better to start teaching them good table manners from young... probably cos i was brought up this way, so i want Germaine to be the same... i bought the ikea high chair le.. that's another God sent.. cheap and good...



and the puree consistency depends on how much water u use to blend.. and also, as per book and PDs, it's better to steam than boil, cos boil wise all the nutrients will be gone to the water (and that's alot).. whereas when u steam, the water is still collected.. then u can just "pour" the water into another bowl and add as u blend.. that's one way to manage the consistency...

 
mummyliang: u can feed her on rocker/ bouncer



Sab: if so, can sieve if needed. But i didnt when i puree carrots. perhaps u din boil long enough? do steam as what babymaine mentioned.

 
Thanks Yvonne. May I know which rocker did you get for your bb? How long will the rocker last? Not sure if I should get it for her when she's almost 6 months already.. please advise.



ANybody know which vege/fruit combines well with barley? Thanks

 
Thx, phyphy n babymaine.



Babymaine, I saw Fr fb u oredi tried a lot of Purée Liao. V expert! When u started on cereal, how much u give to Germaine? All e while u got give water or oni upon weaning?



Luna Luna fisherprice jumper. Can anyone share wif me the link? Thanks

 
sugarong - huh.. expert?? bu gan dang.. we are all mummies here to learn.. read books and share info with mummies... Yvonne also tried lots of puree too... copied this from my FB... and water yup given only when i started her on oatmeal cereal...

i got the jumperoo at home (given to me by fren), but i think is not worth the $ to spend, just my tots[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]. BB just jump jump jump, tired then want to be carried out.



can i ask why is the water from steaming carrot, spinach must be thrown away? I know it got nitrate, but after we blend, and if I add water to make the puree more watery, isn't it the same?

 
hello!



any gathering in the east??? hehe.



anw...i finally got my act together and started my boy on semi solids today...and i think over-enthu! I gave 3 times in one day!!! two diff foods too. HEHEEH



Healthy times organic brown rice cereal - 2 times (mixed w ebm) and he slurped it up both times! abt 20 ml each feed, a bit sticky.



In-between i gaave him boiled carrot chunk to just mash about. he cannot quite grip it and shove into mouth so smashed against his tray, and tried to suck up from tray. hehe.



OKAY....question:

1. When to upgrade to how much cereal???



This my second bb, but i still blur lor since this bb is VERY diffeent fom my first who stuck his tongue out at first taste of rice cereal. This fella just LOVES to eat.



POO

hmm my first boy when he started on rice cereal, his poo pattern changed. i suspect it was cos of rice then. giving more water apparently doesn't help. BUT u can give diluted prune juice or apple juice.



MummyLiang: baby bites aer baby biscuits. can buy from NTUC. but u might like to know it has added salt and sugar. and it's made in china. a few years back , it was stopped by sg gov for some tainted product batch. but since then, been reintro back to mkt. no probs thus far.



ORGANIC FOOD FOR BB? Waste money ? Or better?

I give organic whenver I can afford (read: on offer or i feel generous). Other times, i give normal. (Cos i believe must also let their bodies get used to toxins).



But i tend to give ORGANIC for milk/dairy products as well as cereal and meat (when I can find). Milk and dairy like cheese cos i'm concerned about hormones in feed etc.

He is learning to chew and keep food in his mouth as well as getting used to wooden, metal, silicon spoons. Sprouted 2 bottom jaw front teeth and can gnaw at carrot sticks and bread sticks. Soups still spill all over.. lol He is 6 months, 3 weeks!



(Puree) - Tried butternut squash, sweet potatoes, avocado, pumpkin, carrots, Japanese purple and red potatoes, vegetable stock (onions and corn), pears, apples, brown rice, calrose rice, oats, barley.



Will be starting animal & plant proteins next week starting with kurau fish, japanese anchovies, tofu, lean mince pork, cod, egg yoke, chicken [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi mummies, my baby seems to be a bit constipated eversince I started her on puree (that's on top of her non-pooing for at least 3 days when she was solely on milk). I see that some mummies give prune juice. May I know where can I get them? Or do I have to make the juice myself? So far I have given my baby Heinz apple and pear juice once a week.

 


JTS, instead of buying the jumperoo, actually can just rent at some websites as it's cheap and you do not need to worry about storage. I did not rent the jumperoo as someone gave one to me, but I rented an exersaucer set from www.mygrowingtoys.com. I kind of like their service and the exersaucer set was very clean when I received it.
