Singapoh,
I'm a real fan of the thermal pot, I buy the copycat "thermal" brand which is about $39 only. I use them for red bean soup and mostly porridge since my ds was 8 months. Very easy to use. But need to boil for about 10 mins not 1. Then leave it to cook by itself for about 1 to 2 hours, by then the porridge will be so mushy (like those Hong Kong style congee, which you need to boil for a couple of hours). My son loves the porridge even when he's 3 years old now.

singapoh, not at all, just wash and boil. But I use only 'new rice' for porridge, they cook easier and softer too.
For 1 moment, I thought the copycats needs 10mins while the original 'Tiger' take only 1 min, hehe

Juju,
Your MIL is a former nurse but not pro bf? Maybe during her time is different.
Eventhough my MIL claimed that she bf before hor but I feel that she's not very pro bf lei. Said my breasts small where got milk.
Maybe this time she will say "got to feed 2 babies, where got enuf milk?"

Singapoh, New rice is rice that are newly harvest, those that we usually buy have been stored in warehouse for about 1 yr after harvesting before they sell in the market. Yes, its white rice, and available in NTUC but only few brands have it. I buy "Song he" look for the sign that says 新米。I heard brown rice is better for kids, more nutrients. I cooked brown rice powder in the milk for few months, but my son didn't like it.

Spiffy,
at first I make veg and fruit puree to let my son get used to new texture and to test for allergies.
Later when he shows interest in porridge, I blend the rice first before I cook with carrot, pork loin and mince pork. Everyday I used different ingredient to cook. Pumpkin, tomato, potato, chicken meat, etc

Singapoh, How do you prepare the brown rice? Got grind and add any other ingredients? When did you start to feed? How much do you feed each time? Now my son take 2 bowls of congee each meal (more than my intake). I'm thinking of letting my new baby take brown rice this time.
Berry,
Yes I grind first. I used my rice cooker to cook. When it's cooked, it's not that bad. Just a little coarser than white rice. I think the brand is Naturel, in a box. Can get from NTUC, Giant but not all branches.
I didn't add any seasoning. That's why my son is used to bland food
I have never given him any bottled food before.
My son ate about 2 bowls but when he turned 1 year old, his intake is lesser.

singapoh, do you also give him the minced meat? No seasoning till now? Do you also give him outside food? I started using little seasoning when he turns one and got more picky once he started tasting more tasty outside food. But strictly no MSG
Berry,
I only add the minced pork when the porridge is abt to cook. Pork loin is to sweeten the porridge. I give to my dog.
He only started eating our food when he was 18 months old. B4 that I dun add any seasoning to his food.
My son is quite easy. He can drink soup without added salt. Only let him eat nuggets and fries after turning 2 but not very often. I prefer to oven bake nuggets and fries for him at home. He loves it

Starbabies, Congrats to u!
looks like MS hit u already. Better rest and rest lor. Avoid half cooked food including undercooked egg. No raw meat/fish. No pre roasted poultry or soft cheese. No big fish like sharks fin, king mackerel, etc due to high mercury content. No pate.
Stop all yr Chinese herbs and vits. Multi vits can worsen MS.
Eat more carbo rich food, food cooked with ginger.
