Baby I am all prepared to spend alot of time not doing much, that's why booked a better hotel so that we can chill there since envisaged we will spend alot of time in the hotel when baby nap etc! The hotel I booked is next to a big shopping mall, so will buy the fresh ingredients fr there, I also bought a pack of cereals just in case.
We r going Penang, want to let me girl try taking flight and travel. If ok, we will go further to Taiwan maybe next April/ may.

U make me wana travel!!!
Hmmm... Maybe i should plan one soon... Dont know whether my hb and i alone can handle two bbs when overseas...
Most likely i wont cook when im traveling.. Maybe just let them eat cereal and those pre pack and bottled food... Maybe buy fresh fruits to compensate...
Msia seems like a good location to start with....
Can use the local water right? Will there be 水土不负 issue?

Baby the water part my hub thinks I m paranoid...haa coz I told him I m buying a carton of drinking water there n bring there . =p actually Malaysia shld be ok bah.
If baby can eat our food will be easier coz can jus feed rice etc. But my gal still on baby food, that's why I need to cook or feed cereal.
Hee.. Waiting to see grumpus's advice what see to bring as I think she mentioned before she brought her gal tavel around our bb age. =)

Gan, I hv given cherry tomatoes both cooked n raw.
I just fought 2 rounds of feeding war and lost. Breakfast n lunch today all 3 scream n scream refused to eat. I cannot tahan just gave them milk. Dunno what they want to eat. Now pasta oso refuse. Even fruits oso eat one or two bites don't want. Argh....
My Fren says I shld just let go n use soya sauce n sugar to cook make the foods more tasty n the bbs will eat. But I doubt so coz I use stock tht r sweet leh..still no use.

Gan,
Have a good trip! Some tips when travelling with baby (I've been doing that countless times this year!)
Book a nice hotel since you might be spending most time at the pool and in the room
(which you already have, so that's good)
Things to check/bring:
1. Make sure hotel has baby cot (with bumper/padding) and baby bath tub. If they don't have bath tub, you might consider bringing your own inflatable one, or just bathe baby under the shower.
2. Are you ok with using hotel towels for baby or prefer your own? Bring your own if you prefer.
3. Bring baby's favourite pillow/bolster for sleeping. Also I normally bring their own blanket.
4. Bring steriliser, enuf milk bottles, FM, drinking water and hot water flask.
5. Baby food and eating utensils. Normally when I travel, will feed them cereal or baby jar food.
6. I normally bring enough FM and diapers for one day and then buy from there. No need to bring for the whole trip, rather heavy.
7. Swimming suit, hat and sunblock for baby
8. Lots of baby biscuits for them to munch in between
9. Meds - panadol, thermometer
10. Do you have one of those baby seat cover (the kind you can attach to normal chair and let baby sit)? Very useful.

Same my gal ate porridge until cry, I also dunno what to do. Now every meal I do different combo but after a few mouth she will scream, waved to push away the spoon. N if we force some more, she cried very bad... That I have to stop coz xin tong to see her eat like being torture.the only thing that bring a smile to her face is blueberries but can't be eating whole day every meal right? Coz blueberries got mild laxative , later Lao sai, also no good.
Think sugar n soya sauce t make them eat at this age abit extreme leh, I won't give her that now

Working wife thanks!! That's so useful those things u listed out, I have forgotten about her swimsuit, hat, sunblock! I dun have those baby seat cover, guess will just have to use baby chair.

Btw Gan, if you go to Cold Storage, normally carry good range of baby food and also all FM and diaper brands (similar to SG). There is one in Island Plaza and Gurney Plaza... so hopefully you are staying near one of those?
Or else Tesco, C4 will have all FM, diaper brands too, though maybe a little more limited on the baby food.

Oh ya Gan, one more thing.
Go a little earlier to the airport and when check-in, ask for front row seat. Usually they will give.
For flying, give baby a bottle of milk/water to drink during take-off and landing to avoid ear pressure. Or else, let them suck on pacifier. I usually try to time the milk feed with take-off time and as the plane start moving to take-off, I quickly start feeding. by the time they finish the bottle and already in the air, they will usually fall asleep
If they end up crying and crying during the flight, just don't bother and be thick skinned. If people stare at you, just stare back. Hahah!! No choice, gotta have thick skin abit!

Panda,
How about increasing the time gap between meals? My pd said that should try and let bb be hungry by mealtime... If we constantly feed them every 2 hours, they will not be hungry n interested in the food. Try to allow at least 3 hour gap or evenn more between meals and strictly no snacks / fruits in between especially if next meal is solids. If baby refuse to eat or eat v little, don't feed milk. Just wait till next feed n try solids again or milk. Basically stick to 3 hourly feeding time n if they refuse to eat, then just feed again at next feeding time.
Sounds drastic but can try it for a day. One day will not harm the babies much. At most they didn't eat enuf for the day but can make back the next day. try n see?

Even the quaker oats they also dont like liao? Cos that time u say they wiped out the food... And also the yogurt add into porridge? Also reject?
Im reducing my small girl milk intake... So she will be hungry enough for solids... So far its working... Almost every solids i give her she eat.. And sometimes finish up.
Im using bubbybear tip.. Add porridge into her cereal.. She eats! Thou the porridge portion not alot but at least some porridge goes into her tummy... Heee.
Hopefully one day she will willing eat porridge.
Maybe u can try again to reduce their milk intake? Still feed the no of times but reduce the vol per feed?
I read from an article that.. Dont be too stress on feeding solids.. Bb wont starve themselves.. If they are hungry.. They will eat... So im using this method.. Let my small girl hungry for food. Not sure if its correct.. Still in mid of trial.
Im still giving her 4 milk feeds.. 180 per feed but sometimes she didnt finish... I notice those times when she didnt finish her milk.. The next solid feed she will be more interested.. But tried giving her porridge alone.. She still reject somehow...

I only give cherry tomato cooked. Cos i read somewhere that tomato needs to be cooked to release a particular nutrient. And also tomato is citrus.. Not sure if it will hurt the little tummy with a raw one.
Btw u can buy sukaru honey cherry tomato.. V nice.. And no pesticide. I always pop a few into my mouth while im preparing my girls meals... Heehee

Panda,
The logic to that is like what Baby said... Make the bbs hungry. Can try dragging to 4 hours gap or if they dun eat, you give milk but reduced amount.
Or, like what u mentioned before, just keep trying to give solids. If they reject, then give milk... No need to be stressed.like your friend's baby, drink milk until 3-4 yo, still grow big n strong. So just let it be.

Working wife I didn't let grace self feed coz afraid she wld throw the patty on the floor since she is anti meat. The initial few mouth, she actually pushed out the meat when fed. But managed to feed her some. She also finish the plain porridge which was cooked in corn n carrot stock.
Cupcake is a good idea as they are easy to hold for the babies, think there wld be natural sweetness from the fruits n pumpkin, so shld be nice.
Baby, chopped some onion and 1 shitake mushroom n mixed with minced chicken and pan fry with a little oil.
