Baby, the salad v easy. Just cut fruit, steam meat, mix together w natural yogurt.
My bbs not used to taking solids at 3pm..all cry for milk. Looks like I hv to reduce milk and offer partial snack. Yesterday gav fruits they oso cry. The minute I say milk milk all laugh ! Faint..
How was ur dinner last night? I gave a tomato chicken veg pie. Even my eldest who is unwell finish up. Think coz the tomato based sauce v appetizing. My ones still prefer pasta or potatoes compared to porridge.
Mummies trying for number 2 must jia you! It makes a great difference when there is a playmate for number 1. Now my trio start to play n appreciate each other more. Times like that it makes all the "sufferings" n sleepless nights these 14mths worth it..

I think alot bbs prefer other food rather than porridge... Cos other food usually taste better.. Porridge maybe too mashy and boring... Haha..
My last night dnr was ok... Rice millet with apple, butternut squash and pork.
Now simmering porridge again. Rice lentils with cauliflower, sweet potato and pork.
Yday went ntuc again.. Bot quinoa, mung bean, black turtle bean, chickpea, wholemeal flour, barley...
Going to try to make cheese sauce... And also mung bean and barley dessert for this hot weather!
This morning gave them rasin bread stick to self feed... And apple strawberry for fruit...
The four leave rasin stick v nice and good for self feeding compared to those slices type..Can give it a try...
My small girl ate 3/4 long stick!
Calfornia products going to finish soon... Gosh.. Got to spend a bomb again to reorder from agape...

now that the HFMD is at epidemic level, do u think we need to take precaution and stay home instead of bringing baby out eg to libraries, parks, etc?

I guess just practice good hygiene. use hand sanitizers, wash hands with soap. when yr kid goes to cc or kindy they will also be exposed. very difficult to avoid totally.

My bb heartbeat has stopped. Now waiting for spontaneous m/c. Thanks for the support for me to share my success and failure. I'm alright but at the same time disappointed, so fast game over....
Happyhippo
Yes, hers is all natural, but it took her sometime to have #2, but #3 is fast, cos #2 now only 10 mths. She is not going to do family planning, cos she says anytime can manopause, just leave it to god. If u want to have another child, make the best of opportunities u still have.
To all going to cycle again, all the best, take things one step at a time.

What texas chicken? Sounds yummy....
Ya mann... Like forever buying food.. My hb always say im buying as if im feeding a whole army troops... Dont understand how come two bbs can eat so much and so fast! I got to buy once a week lo...
I seldom toast bread for them.. Cos i scare too heaty... And dont wish them to get too used to the biscuit like texture and reject normal non toast bread... And also cos they are fine with the normal bread heeee...
Just now i make the fruit and chicken salad for their tea break.. Both love it! I make a full ikea bowl and let them share.. Finished in less than 10mins... I cut cubes of mango and kiwi then steam a slice of chicken fillet and toss in a pot of yoplait vanilla yogurt. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Anymore to come? Haha...
Im cooking boring porridge now... White and brown rice with pear, zucchini, mushroom, tofu and cod fish.
Will venture more new ways of cooking after i try the cheese sauce... Maybe will let them try it with rice...

Gan,
I have another few more wks to decide if I wana to go ahead with FET. Like u, I had a tough pregnancy for No#1 and the thought of being preggie make me worried again. Sorry for sounding silly, but I promised to bring all my embbies home & not abandone them in the cold. So its a matter of time, I will rescue them. I am now in a Delimma...
Panda,
Juz to share, my cousin had a set of trios + 1 elder boy. She also had 2 maids + 1 of her trios was taken care of by a nanny. She parked the trios to cc when they were almost 3+ and her trios just mingled among themselves and refused to mix around with others so what to an extend that the teachers gotta to split them into different groups. She got "Complains" by her cc teacher v.often and she regretted not sending her trios to cc earlier.

Day, the cc teachers oso told me those sent at 18mths settle down faster compared to those at 2yo. I don't intend to keep them home for too long. If they don't go cc at 18mths I will put them in play groups n come jan they k attend pre n classes.

I tried cooking again... This time i halved all the ingredient so as not to waste food...
2nd try better... Thou i feel not v tasty leh... Maybe cos i use wholemeal flour instead of the normal plain flour.. Cos wana use healthier choice... The end result colour dont look like cheese sauce at all... Abit light brown color... Hmm...
Also abit thick le... Maybe i freeze it and when i warm up i will add additional milk to dilute abit...
I use meji fresh milk... If warm up can add fm if dont have fresh milk right? I expect the cheese sauce will taste v much like adult cheese sauce... Hmm...

Just tried the cheese sauce... My small girl loves it!
I change mind.. Didnt cook macaroni.. I cooked potato and butternut squash mash and add in steamed cod fish... Drizzle the cheese sauce... Yums!
I only warm up one frozen cube of sauce.. Not enough for both of them.. Half way thru no sauce liao.. My small girl split out the mash.. So i know its the sauce that does the trick!
No choice i use elder girl sauce to give her cos i know elder girl will still eat without the sauce.. Haha..
So i guess i dont have the buy plain flour... Wholemeal flour is ok with them... Heeee... Healthier also...
Now i have another food variety option on hand...

I also afraid of mess leh, so I will scoop the porridge onto the spoon then get my boy to hold the spoon and put into his mouth. Hmm maybe wrong method. But I notice he can't scoop, so can't get food onto ther spoon by himself.

Happy, my trio oso can't scoop yet. I scoop n put on the tray, they will pick up n eat. Aft tht giv me back d spoon to scoop.
Cannot b afraid of mess if want them to learn. Over time the mess gets lesser coz they become better at it. Now d amount of food tht ends up on d floor is much lesser compared to when they just started. It's a learnig process..

Yesterday I was so exhausted I send my bbs to my mum place at 11am n pick them up at 5pm. Went to buy some stuff eat peaceful lunch n took a 3 hours nap!!
But last night i got a terrible separation anxiety number 2! He woke up like 5-6 x from 11pm onwards crying like Kanna abused. Only want me, hb n maid carry he scream n kick them. I think I was a tree half d night coz he cling onto me like a koala refused to let go. Pd says I hv to slowly prepare them for cc. They hv to get used to not seeing me d whole day. Ask me to gradually spend more time away from them. My mum says start w every afternoon from 2-5pm.. Aft lunch let them go there nap n play a while before come home for dinner.
My pd oso advise 2yo is a good age to send to cc.

my elder girl is the clingy type. I prepare her for kindy for one year!
I leave her with my mum few hrs to half a day here n there n we hv a routine to say bye n keep telling her mummy go to work. even though I dun actually work. I dun sneak out or run off when she's distracted. of cos dun make the goodbye long drawn also la. so I will just say mummy has to go to work, u stay home with po po. later mummy come back ok? then kiss n hug n walk off.
when she was slightly older I tell her the day before or in the morning tat 'later mummy has to go to work ok?' to prepare her. or I use a more definitive timeframe like after u eat yr lunch mummy has to go. then when she's eating her lunch I will tell her again tat when she finishes eating mummy has to go. all this is said very casually n sort of in passing but it helps to prepare her for wats coming up. i dun make too big a deal out of it also or she will get anxious

Grumpus, when I left my mum hse number 2 wave good bye to me! It was number 1 who cling to me. I told him i go buy yummy food for him and will b back. He nod his head n let go of me, followed my dad to go n play.
Number 1 was ok last night, number 2 gav me hell of a night.
Smtimes it's so hard not to sneak away w 3 coz I just need one to cry, all will cry.. But I m trying to assure them n do a brief good bye.
One year!!! So I m right to start now since I m sending them in dec. stress.... U r right I shld oso start telling them I m going to work..

it'd best to consistently say the same thing so they dun get confused. so they know everytime u leave is to 'work'. next time even u want to go out dinner with friends, shopping etc also just say work. until they're much older to be able to differentiate the days n times

hmm.. nothing much happening at my mum's place. just now i park them there for 2 hours.. when he woke up from nap cant find me also start screaming.... haiz... so most likely its separation anxiety..
there r days he cry alot during d day..but surprisingly can sleep thru at night.... now i let him cry much more compared to previously..coz he is just crying to get my attention.. i try to ignore...

Indeed the baby snack is v exp... But its a good form of snack to bring out for them to self feed while we eat... Cos i dont like them to munch on those biscuit... And its hard to bring cut fruits out.. All oxidize...
Yr trio can eat slice apple and pear?? No need to steam it?
My ones still cant.. Can only eat those soft cut fruits like strawberry, mango, kiwi etc.. Not apple and pear.. So i will blend these two fruits for them...
Curry.. Wow.. Sounds adventrous... U wana cook those japanese box form curry sauce?
Btw how u make mushroom chowder? Need to put whip cream?
Tonight dnr a big failure... I make macaroni with the cheese sauce.. Both ate a few pcs and reject... I guess they dont like to chew on the macaroni pc.. I make cereal and throw in the macaroni pcs in it.. But this time i cut into smaller bits... Both can handle.. Hmmm... So many times i make macaroni.. All end up disaster...
Indeed the baby snack is v exp... But its a good form of snack to bring out for them to self feed while we eat... Cos i dont like them to munch on those biscuit... And its hard to bring cut fruits out.. All oxidize...
Yr trio can eat slice apple and pear?? No need to steam it?
My ones still cant.. Can only eat those soft cut fruits like strawberry, mango, kiwi etc.. Not apple and pear.. So i will blend these two fruits for them...
Curry.. Wow.. Sounds adventrous... U wana cook those japanese box form curry sauce?
Btw how u make mushroom chowder? Need to put whip cream?

baby, if i bring fruits like apple or pear out, i will cut n steam. that way no need to worry about oxidising..or bananas, strawberries, kiwi all ok to bring out.
yeah my ones can eat apples n pear without steaming.. just cut quarters or into bite sizes.
the mustroom chowder i follow the recipe in the website. no need whip cream..just normal full cream. then i add cubes of potatoes, zucchini/carrots.. top up w some chicken serve as a meal. it taste just like those we eat outside.
my ones love tomato based macaroni w egg and cod fish. happily eat up all of it...
i bought the jap box curry.. but yet to cook .. smtimes also abit scared cook liao nobody wanna eat..then i hv to last minute try n find some other food...

my ones like to chew, mayb thts y dont like porridge..hehehe..
regarding hard fruits, the more they practice the better they will be.. i will let them play w the fruits before milk in the afternoon.. holding the fruit and accurately eating it off their hands is also a skill! smtimes i dont cut, let them handle the whole apple themselves.. inclusiv of skin.. so they all learn to chew off the skin, spit out and eat the flesh only.
