scrambled eggs
Posted by: niscat on: March 20, 2009
here’s another breakfast idea 
- beat/whisk these ingredients together:
- egg
- breastmilk (or fresh milk)
- salt to taste (optional)
- a pinch of cinnamon powder
- heat VCO in frying pan
- pour the mixture into the pan
- when the mixture starts to harden, stir it well (to get chunks of scrambled eggs
)
- serve on its own or with bread
** you can also add some cheese while stirring in the pan to add some ‘kick’ to the taste
oatmeal porridge
Posted by: niscat on: March 18, 2009
here’s a good idea for breakfast
- cook oatmeal
- add in breastmilk (or any kind of milk)
- brown sugar to taste (optional)
- mix well. the amount of milk is up to the thickness of the porridge you want
- serve warm
rice porridge
Posted by: niscat on: March 15, 2009
babies love porridge, why not offer them a healthier choice? healthy eating starts early makes babies grow into a good eating habit
- cook washed brown rice with loads of water in a pot for 1 hour on low heat (you might need to add up water from time to time)
- add in a fish fillet (make sure there’s no bone)
- after 15 minutes, stir the fish and rice together until the fish breaks into small pieces
- after 30 minutes, add in
- vegetables
- salt to taste
- cook for another 15 minutes
- let it cool, serve warm
all together, it takes about 2 hours to cook this porridge. it may take a while, but babies love them so much, so it’s worth the time
mashed potato
Posted by: niscat on: March 1, 2009
here’s one of my easiest baby recipe that is also healthy and most importantly…loved by my baby 
- boil peeled potatoes until it softens
- mash boiled potatoes with:
- breastmilk (or infant formula milk)
- virgin coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
- grated broccoli
serve with your choice of protein – like steamed fish; and don’t forget the veggies – say broccoli
let down reflex
Posted by: niscat on: February 26, 2009
let down reflex is important for breastfeeding mothers. this reflex is needed while pumping milk, so that milk is easier and faster expressed.
let down reflex is when milk gushes out from the breast. it happens when the breast is well stimulated, usually from baby’s suckling on the breast. let down reflex could also be stimulated by the suction of a good breast pump.
some of the ways to ensure this reflex happen each pumping session:
- be calm
- imagine it’s your baby’s mouth suckling
- look at your baby’s picture while pumping
why @ 6 months old
Posted by: niscat on: February 25, 2009
as i researched for information on when to start feeding my baby, i found two school of thought – one saying you should start at 4 months, while another states to start at 6 months old. so, i consulted my wise mother for advice, and she asked me to wait until baby was 6 months old. i never questioned why, i’ve always thought it was because the baby’s tummy wasn’t quite ready for food before he/she is 6 months old. only recently i found out the main reason to wait for baby is at least 6 months old is because at that age his/her tongue is fully developed to swallow food, so he/she won’t choke! i’m glad i waited and didn’t rush into feeding baby too early, besides for an exclusively breastfed baby, 6 months seemed early still…LOL
cute baby contest
Posted by: niscat on: February 22, 2009
our baby wins a consolation prize in a cute baby photo contest..yay! we’re excited about it, and we’re gonna enter him again this year
entering your baby in a baby contest is actually a great experience, do keep in mind it’s not about winning (eventho if u win, it’s an added bonus to the experience), just have fun and cherish the experience.
when your baby grows up, he/she will certainly feel appreciated by the thought that you actually entered him/her in a cute baby contest, it’s a memory he/she can hold on to even when they have no ‘clear’ memory of the actual event..
during the contest, it is a great exposure for our babies, as he/she can meet up with other babies, and we ourselves get to mingle with other parents, sharing parenting tips, ideas and knowledge
i just love dressing up my baby in his cutest, who doesn’t??
and no matter whether my baby wins or not when i enter him in a contest, all that really matters is he is always the cutest baby in our eyes
VCO baby – take 2
Posted by: niscat on: February 22, 2009
i wrote in my earlier post about my baby being a ‘vco baby’…not only we put on vco on his skin, vco is now his daily dietary supplement for optimum health! the first time i fed him vco, he just loves it so much, and it was pure vco! i guess he just loves the taste and baby knows what’s good for him
i’m giving him vco daily to boost his immune system, to ward off common colds, etc…with many viruses spreading nowadays, it’s best to have a little bit extra protection
a bit of testimony:
my friend’s sister in law had dengue fever, she was hospitalized for a week, and after only taking vco (orally) for only one day, her blood platelet was back to normal and she was discharged from the hospital immediately

sleep tight
Posted by: niscat on: February 10, 2009
ever wondered why some parents are blessed with babies that sleep soundly throughout the night and some just seemed almost impossible to have even one night of good sleep? I used to think that some people are just luckier than others, until a friend of mine in the UK told me about the formula to keep babies asleep throughout the night
the secret it to make sure baby drinks enough milk (during the day) according to her weight. do u know what actually makes babies wake up in the middle of the night? yes, you guessed it – they’s hungry!
the ’secret formula’ is:
70ml per 1lbs
sample calculation:
baby’s weight = 18 lbs
total milk baby needs =1260 ml
single feed = 140 ml / 5 oz
baby needs to be fed = 9 times during the day
it doesn’t matter how many feeds per day, and be it breast milk or formula, as long as it’s milk
hope this information was useful and to all lovely parents – sleep tight!
