Yoghurt choices for baby

May 15, 2012 aLL tHinGs BriGht aNd BeAutiFuL2 Comments

I started O on yoghurt when he is 7 months old. After doing a mini research on the internet and books, I figured it will have to be full fat, unsweetened, natural and preferably organic. I couldn’t find an unsweetened organic one, thus my first buy was this for quite a while: It tastes yucky.… Continue reading Yoghurt choices for baby

O’s real food journey… Pt 2

April 1, 2012 aLL tHinGs BriGht aNd BeAutiFuL2 Comments

Before 6 months, it was mostly a food “sampler” journey for O. 7 months is when the fun really begins! Tips: Baby should still receive minimum 540- 600 ml fm daily. Aim to establish 3 good, solid meals. Food texture can be changed, fruit need not be cooked, but grated/mashed. Let baby try finger feeding… Continue reading O’s real food journey… Pt 2

O’s real food journey… Pt 1

March 31, 2012 aLL tHinGs BriGht aNd BeAutiFuLLeave a comment

When should I wean my baby? Many baby books and web gurus chanted the same answer: “6 months”. But as the golden rule declares, “All babies are different”. O is a baby born with an appetite. I only knew the reason 3 months down the road. But first, back to the weaning. At 4 months,… Continue reading O’s real food journey… Pt 1

Managing Baby Blues

October 31, 2011 aLL tHinGs BriGht aNd BeAutiFuLLeave a comment

“So far, all this baby brought was alot of pain.” I cried to K during one screaming baby episode. I am guilty of shouting at my baby and smacking his butt though I knew crying is just their way of expressing their needs and beating leads to nothing but more piercing cries. When Baby O… Continue reading Managing Baby Blues

Baby Sleeping through the Night

October 31, 2011 aLL tHinGs BriGht aNd BeAutiFuL7 Comments

Baby O first slept through the night at 3 months old. 8 pm to 6 am. A whooping 10 hours. When Daddy K and I woke, we wondered: “Did we sleep through his cries?” Baby O has always been an early sleeper, taking his longest stretch of sleep from 730 pm onwards. So even though… Continue reading Baby Sleeping through the Night

1st visit to PD in the East

October 12, 2011 aLL tHinGs BriGht aNd BeAutiFuLLeave a comment

Though we live in the East, my PD was Dr Ang Ai Tin at TMC. It was a random choice cos my gynae was at TMC and the PDs they recommend in the list was nowhere near our house. So we just picked the first one on the list. That’s a rookie mom for you… Continue reading 1st visit to PD in the East

Weaning Baby O off the pacifier

October 8, 2011 aLL tHinGs BriGht aNd BeAutiFuL24 Comments

I’m not against the use of pacifier. Though it is commonly blamed for early dental and speech problems, some even believe baby’s mouth will change shape, I thought prudent use will help baby to settle and spare our ears from the crying. Or so I thought. Prudent use, as defined by some books, is allowing… Continue reading Weaning Baby O off the pacifier
