Food chart for 6 month old

I got the food chart from wholesomebabyfood.com.  Since baby falls in between the 4-6 months and 6-8 months category, I am gonna list those that is applicable to her, for now.

Fruits
Apples - I avoided this as it falls under BRAT, which causes constipation.  But I might try soon.
Avocados - Get the Australian ones.  It's better quality.
Apricots - It's difficult to get fresh ones in Malaysia.  I don't prefer the dried ones.
Bananas - Also same as apples.  Haven't tested yet.
Mango - I am not too sure why this falls under here.  My nephew is allergic to mangoes, so I am avoiding this one.
Nectarines - Not easy to find.
Peaches - The canned ones are easier to get, so go no for me.
Pears - Baby absolutely love this as it is sweet.
Plums - Not easy to find too and plums can be very sour.
Prunes - Only the ones in the tub, but haven't tried that yet.
Pumpkin - Yes, another food that is good together with porridge.

Vegetables
Beans (green) - I read that beans can cause colic and gas.  So, am trying to delay this as much.
Carrots - OK, someone told me carrots are high on nitrates and not good to feed baby below 1 year old as it may cause blue baby syndrome.  But on many websites, doctors said it's ok for 6 month old and above but not below.  So, am avoiding this too until further research is done.
Parsnips - Not sure what is this.  Haven't seen it around.
Peas - Also same as beans.  But I think I should try it somehow.
Sweet potato - Baby loves this.
Squash - Butternut - Do you know how expensive this vegetable is?  Because it's an imported vegetable and not locally grown.  Haven't tried it out yet as it is too expensive.
Zucchini - OK, also expensive, but not too bad.  Baby love this together with the sweet potato combo.

Meats and proteins
Chicken - I am not raising a vegetarian so have to start chicken soon.  Very soon.
Tofu - Heard that it's not so good to eat too much soy food.  Might try soon.

Grains
Barley - Gonna make her some barley water soon.
Oatmeal - Not tried yet
Rice - She loves it!

Every weekend, baby get a new food to try because that's the only time to be adventurous.  Let's see, coming weekend, I might try apples, bananas, beans, peas and tofu.  Besides, she will be turning 7 months on 28th.

So, let's try avocado + banana.  Apple + pear.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
