Jess: I bought handheld blender bec my friend told me she had problem scraping all the content from the normal blender container as she doesn't prepare a lot to keep (the content flew everywhere in the container). Since I live with mil, I foresee that she wouldn't be gaga abt freezing baby food, which means the quantity I prepare will be relatively small too. Like you, I hope the handheld blender works
Jingles: my baby started sleeping through the night when he was abt 3 mth. I used the Gina Ford method to train him

Jingles: I adopted Gina Ford's feeding and drinking schedules. Took a while to train baby but finally managed to work it out and it made my life much easier. However, my baby has to sleep face down to sleep through the night. Otherwise he might cry once in a while in the middle of the night. PD said sleeping face down is not too safe but my baby just can't sleep peacefully facing up. So I just continue letting him sleep facing down.
dancingqueen: let me know how your handheld blender is after using.. I'll use this weekend and update you.
regarding puree, do you mummies feed pure puree or mix it with your cereal or something else? gonna make apple puree this sat, and intend to feed pure apple puree first, see if bb likes or not.. wonder if any of you mix in the cereal?

Hi jean, I believe you can be adventurous and mix different types of food/fruits into your cereal. Btw, my gf told me avocado and banana mix is yummy! I can't wait to offer it to bb after I let him try out a few more single items.

Jean, you can also check out Annabel Karmel's and Organix's website for simple recipes involving cereal

hi mummies, MIA a few days coz juz started new job.
jkids, usually bb will be cranky for awhile b4 the teeth break thro. think if break thro liao then won't be so pain liao ba. my boy now 8mths, can crawl le. hope ur kid recovered from HFMD le?
delphina, I give puree mixed with brown rice cereal for dinner everyday. but juz 1 milk scoop of brown rice cereal (mixed with 2oz of puree) la, coz my boy don't really like it. he takes cerealac for lunch in ifc. he takes abt 200-300ml of water a day, so far so good, no constipation.
jean, think moscato meant cerealac brown rice cereal is very sweet compared to organic brown rice cereal. cerealac smells very sweet, like our adult nestum! btw, most of the time I mix purée with rice cereal.
jingles, mine also sama sama like urs. still twice a nite feed. will roll & flip till he sits upright & wakes himself up. SIGH! u bringing ur gal back to stay with u? I moving home stay soon too (mum like dont really welcome me at her hse liao). hopefully can cope. sigh.....

Hi, I live with my in-laws but bec my job didn't work out after maternity leave, I was forced to quit and now I'm home looking after baby. It's honestly quite tiring but the bonding between my son and I is priceless. I'm specially glad that I could journey with him on this weaning process. Sometimes I wonder if my mil could really cope alone as baby grows and gets more active. It's already tiring for me to keep up with him. What's more my mil who's 60+.

jingles, yeah previously was due to nite duty. coz my boy still wakes up twice or more at nite, morn like zombie sia, how to work. my mum volunteered to look after my boy at nite previously. what crap! after few nites then complain too tiring. my boy has been sleeping with me & hb for the past mth liao, so really like no pt staying there. only can't bear to separate my boy & dad.
hello all! Been awhile since I last checked back. Glad to see jkids and jingles back!
jkids, oh no..shiong man..hang in there! *fingers crossed for #2 & #3*
jac, hmm..dun be sianz ba..i guess ur mum wants back her "me time". like what dancing queen says, it's really tiring to take care of a fast growing bb. perhaps she's tired too? you know there's a chinese saying, 相见容易相处难, at least "part" when the relationship is still good and not keep it inside the heart until explode..
some bb update.. mine's coming to 8 mo. Can crawl steadily and fast now. Can also hoist herself up anywhere and everywhere, bed, sofa, chair, playpen, playard. Grip and she's up! think she wants to walk liao.. she's having 3 solid meals a day, cereal in the morn, porridge and brown rice either lunch or dinner. Usually with threadfin and sometimes cod fish. Sometimes spinach or carrot or tomato. For brown rice, sometimes add banana puree, otherwise just fish. Milk intake is about 400-500ml a day now..

yes lo....i guess so.
its the night duty which i fear...sure affect next day work
sometimes we need committed help lei..not someone who just say say niah than halfway give up lo..
erm tat time you are thinking of getting a maid right? isit get liao then return back?
now kid is slightly bigger, got explore in getting a maid now?
true la..no heart to seperate grandpa and kid...but right now got to be selfish la..if no one is helping you..no point providing "convenience" for bonding for others lo...what we need is help now...where we can work and support the family lo...afterall if our folks fall sick next time, we also need moolah lei...if not all 4 old folks (hub and yours) if all not well together, cant just rely on one working adult (hub) right??
so if they cant provide any help..for me, i will think of myself now lo....no help and if i can handle situation better myself i will shift back le..this is not a phase to think of others esp when sleep and me-time deprive.

googles, my boy goes IFC, mum never help take care at all, so don't understand how tiring it can be for her. btw my boy also can pull to stand liao, very mobile now.
jingles, ya lo. shifting back soon. at least don't have to fight for toilets, washing machine, hangers, etc etc etc. previously I got a maid but sent her back & put my boy at IFC instead. prefer ifc to maid. now maid don't do nite shift liao leh, so no pt too.

Jac, who does the housework at your mum's plc?
when back on your own, be prepared you will be very very bz...wash/ hang laundry...wash dishes...no time to do other housework..hubby support will be very very impt then.
guess i'm the "hard-hearted" one...going to tear my dad & my boy apart once he can get into ifc..think next mth or one more if i can get a place.
he can't bear to let him go ifc to "suffer"...

Jac: I totally agree that single income is v challenging. I'm just lucky in the sense that I stay with in-laws. They know I was forced to leave my job. So they don't mind me hanging around at hm. I'm just taking one step at a time. Also don't know for how long can I afford to be a sahm. Just hv to be more frugal..

Hallo all, the thread is moving so fast today.. Juz catch up after finishing my things to do for the day. Good to see the forum is more alive.
Today, I had a bad start for the day. My baby woke up very early in the morning, and refused to be on the cot. So I shited her to the single bed placed in her room and I was still there inside the room. Everything happened so fast and next thing I remembered hearding a loud thumb ! She fell down to the floor, face down like crawling position..i think it was like 60cm high. Cried for a while and I was very ahocked. Checked the body and head, seems to be no bruises or swollen. i guess gotta monitor for the next few days. I juz felt very bad and horrified afer that. How can that happened in a split second ??? Really pray hard so that nothing bad will happen from thia incident and no such incident happen again in future. I think I am very bad to her huh.. :-(
Mummies, juz share this experience with u. Our lil ones are becoming more active and moves very fast. Really need to have eagle eye on them. Cannot imagine how challenging it will be after they start to be more mobile(crawling, walking etc)..
Jkids: I hope your kids get well soon. U also muz take care and have good rest over weekend.
Brink: My baby is on Similac 2. I am still doing the transitioning. I stopped the stage 2 for a while following PD advice and now juz started again. I dont find much air, but notice that taates are much sweeter. Seems like my baby constipation is back now. I muz monitor if it is really due to the milk oe other thiings in her meal.
Jac : At the end of the day, it is 'home sweet home' so juz keep a positive mind that everything will be okay. Definitely it will be more tiring for u, but maybe juz a bit since u have been very involve in the hsework and bb care even at ur mother's place. Maybe a part-timer help on weekend would give u and hubby extra time on weekend to rest. Tingkat is a goos idea to continue too even when u back at ur home.
Btw, ur son can drink water so well 200-300ml/day. Did he take from sippy cup? Can he handle the flow? Mine is a challenge to even gulp down 50ml for whole day.
Dancingqueen and Brink: I am also SAHM with no maternity benefut hahaha.. Coz I quit juz before I confirmed my pregancy. Ok lah, take it as 9 months break but now it is a payback time. Gotta spend 24/7 taking care of my bb and my hubby often need to be outstation for work. The consolation part is my baby usually sleep by 8pm so I can do any leftover hsework that I couldnt do when she awake and maybe a short 'me-time'
Googlez82: how old is ur baby? So fast can take 3 meals ya. Mine is still mainly on milk. Per day can take 700ml.
Moacato: my baby also cannot really crawl yet, only can. 'showcase' ability on all four body parts. Her most fave activity now is to roll here and there. She loves sitting down position the most. Can sit down for half an hour unsupported when playing. This morning, she was still happily in the sitting down post before fell. Haiz... Still dun understand how come it happened.
Today, I had a bad start for the day. My baby woke up very early in the morning, and refused to be on the cot. So I shited her to the single bed placed in her room and I was still there inside the room. Everything happened so fast and next thing I remembered hearding a loud thumb ! She fell down to the floor, face down like crawling position..i think it was like 60cm high. Cried for a while and I was very ahocked. Checked the body and head, seems to be no bruises or swollen. i guess gotta monitor for the next few days. I juz felt very bad and horrified afer that. How can that happened in a split second ??? Really pray hard so that nothing bad will happen from thia incident and no such incident happen again in future. I think I am very bad to her huh.. :-(
Mummies, juz share this experience with u. Our lil ones are becoming more active and moves very fast. Really need to have eagle eye on them. Cannot imagine how challenging it will be after they start to be more mobile(crawling, walking etc)..
Jkids: I hope your kids get well soon. U also muz take care and have good rest over weekend.
Brink: My baby is on Similac 2. I am still doing the transitioning. I stopped the stage 2 for a while following PD advice and now juz started again. I dont find much air, but notice that taates are much sweeter. Seems like my baby constipation is back now. I muz monitor if it is really due to the milk oe other thiings in her meal.
Jac : At the end of the day, it is 'home sweet home' so juz keep a positive mind that everything will be okay. Definitely it will be more tiring for u, but maybe juz a bit since u have been very involve in the hsework and bb care even at ur mother's place.

Hi Delphina
yes...its v v fast de
3 weeks ago, mine also superman down from the bed.
so now really got to keep an eye on baby. Think for wat I will do if i need to pee or have a mini short break is to leave her in the cot. Irregardless she want it or not. Crying or watever...cos afterall safety is no. 1 and at least with the cot raised up so high now, she is not able to climb out lo.
Things to look out for after a fall esp hitting on the head:
1) vomitting
2) eyes off focus
3) development regression (eg previously can sit, not cant)
4) high fever
Keep a look out for these bah
But alot of experience mommies told me...this is part and parcel of growing up and tends to happen lo...babies are tougher than they look..oh well but ...I mean its really scary to hear the loud thud right??
swanston
cant agree with you more
sometimes more people doesnt equate to more help
its the quality that counts not quantity...hohoho

delphina, dont feel bad, it's part & parcel of growing up, last time we had very bad falls too, but grew up fine too. next time juz try put bb on ground level, esp when she gets very mobile. nowadays I juz let my boy roam on the floor. the only worry is he loves to pull onto things to stand, & tend to lose balance & fall down when trying to cruise while standing or when the furniture moves. so muz keep a close watch lo. my boy drinks water from a small milk bottle with S teat. for milk he drinks from the big milk bottle with M teat. the sippy cup abit too heavy for him to hold properly, tends to suck air instead.

Jac, Jingles: Thxs for kind words and encouragement. I hope she is okay. Juz find it odd that she has no redness/bruises/swollen considering the height of the bed.. I juz hope no side effect in the long run huh.. Today she seems okay, no vomitting and no development regression. Juz eat a bit less, think she got constipated..
I cannot really let her roam the floor as my hse is not child friendly (glass furniture and many square edges here and there). The only think I can consider is to empty up one of the room and put a mat there. Is the parklon mat good and useful? I saw got different thickness- anyone can suggest which thickness enuf to cushion ?
The haze was very bad yesterday night in my area. I have to close all windows and On aircon :-( hope the haze go away soon.

Delphina: My baby suffered his first fall today. He was on the bouncer with one side secured and the other side unbuttoned. I left him for 10 sec to get a yogurt and the next thing I knew, his forehead was on the floor while his lower body remained trapped in the bouncer. My fault for not trusting my instinct that something nt v gd would happen today after reading your post on your daughter's fall. Just an inner voice if you know what I mean. Heart very very pain as he wailed till face turned red =_( Then I rolled a warm egg on his forehead. The redness is gone but there's a tiny bump.

dancingqueen, the same thing happened to my boy. lucky hb managed to dive & put his hands infront of boy's forehead b4 it hits the ground. but my boy still got a very bad shock & hb bruised both his knees. when bb starts becoming more active, can only leave them in the playpen/ play yard/ playmat/ anywhere at ground level.
delphina, mabbe shld baby proof the house? how to keep bb in the room when she starts becoming mobile/ can walk? as in she won't want stay in the room if u r not ard one lo. then u can't go do ur things also. I'm in the process of baby proofing my hse, paste those rubber bumper on all the sharp edges/ corners & removing all those fragile display items in living rm & master bedroom, so can juz let my boy roam abt freely in these 2 areas, will juz close the door/ install safety gates for the other areas.
