Stay with your baby whenever she's eating or drinking, make sure she's upright when you're feeding her solid food, and don't insist that she eat if she cries or resists. Mash or grind food so that it's soft enough for her to gum or chew. Because young children are likely to swallow without chewing, don't give her peanut butter, popcorn, raw carrots, raisins, nuts, whole grapes (cut them up, instead), hard candies, uncooked peas, or hot dogs (even in small pieces) until she's at least 4. (For more guidelines on safe finger foods, click here.) Children under a year shouldn't play with toys that have parts smaller than 1¼ inches around or 2¼ inches long. Also, keep her away from buttons, coins, safety pins, balloons, and rocks. Make sure that mobiles can't be pulled into your baby's mouth, and don't allow her to play with a baby powder container — the contents can shake free and clog the throat.

Accidents happen....
While it was a very fulfilling weekend last week, it was also a very horrifying week for me as a mummy!
My first encounter was on Friday. I was alone with Sarah... enjoying bites of apples with her, when suddenly she bit quite a big piece and found herself choking! She was coughing and coughing and her face turned red! When she started coughing, I guess it came out on its own in the nick of time! I was praying so hard, and at the same time checking to see if her airway is blocked in any way. I thank God that nothing serious happened. She managed to cough it out! The piece of apple was on the floor! Praise the Lord! It was such a horrifying scene and I vow to myself then never to allow her to bite on her own at this crucial growing stage, especially now when she has already 2 sharp bottom teeth. Honestly, I was a very panic then. I didn't know what else to do except to pray and hit her back to aid her in coughing the apple out. If anything bad had happened, I wouldn't know what to do... here's telling all parents to be armed with knowledge of first aid. It is VERY VERY VERY important to be non-panicky and be knowledgeable in infant first aid - at least some basics would be of great need!
Second encounter was on Saturday. She was basically playing on her own and being playful - out and about - she fell when she was trying to pull herself up to stand at the dining chair. She hit her face so hard onto the back of the chair that it cut her lower left-side lip. :( It bled a little. I carried her up and comforted her. She was alright after that... back to her playful self! Just that, we were extra cautious of her safety because she was such an active kid.
Thank God for protecting little Sarah. However, I must say that we must never take for granted safety measures for our children, and as parents, we must at all times be prepared for the worst and gain much knowledge to reduce further risks of accidents.
Lord, protect all our children from harm and danger. Keep them safe from accidents - be it at home or outside. Surround them with your angels... many many many of them, in Jesus name I pray - Amen!

The Benefits of Spirulina Powder
Why has spirulina been called a superfood?
Because it contains the most remarkable concentration of nutrients known in any food, plant, grain or herb. It's the highest protein food- over 60% all digestible vegetable protein. It has the highest concentration of beta carotene, vitamin B-12, iron and trace minerals and the rare essential fatty acid GLA. These make spirulina a great whole food alternative to isolated vitamin and minerals.
Does all spirulina have the same quality, purity and potency?
Spirulina is grown in from many countries. Customers should check the label - does it say exactly where it's grown? Is the cultivation controlled for a pure culture? With the growing concern about contaminated algae harvested from lakes, the source is important. Many people now prefer certified organic foods, and the good news is Earthrise Farms grows certified organic spirulina. Second, there's a wide variety in potency. Maintaining the highest levels of the carotenoids, phycocyanin and polysaccharides is very important. Now Earthrise Farms has developed the next generation of super spirulina.
The scientific research with spirulina identifies some unusual health giving phytonutrients. What are they?
Spirulina's dark color comes from a rainbow of natural pigments. They harvest sunlight at different wavelengths and protect from too much sun. These pigments offer unusual health benefits and help synthesize many enzymes necessary for regulating body metabolism. They are chlorophyll (green), carotenoids (yellow and orange) and phycocyanin (blue), the dominant color.
Not all spirulina is grown, processed and packaged the same way. Levels of these sensitive pigments vary widely. Spirulina needs high levels of all three to provide optimum health benefits. At Earthrise Nutritionals' farm, all three are tested on every day's production to assure potency.
I know Beta Carotene is an anti-cancer antioxidant nutrient. Is natural different than synthetic beta carotene?
Spirulina is the richest Beta Carotene food, with a full spectrum of ten mixed carotenoids. About half are orange carotenes: alpha, beta and gamma and half are yellow xanthophylls. They work synergistically at different sites in our body to enhance antioxidant protection.
What is so unique about spirulina as a source of GLA?
A food source of GLA is important, especially for women. Known GLA foods are mothers milk and oil extracts of evening primrose, black currant and borage seeds. Spirulina is a potent source, an astonishing 1% by weight! Eight spirulina tablets contain equivalent GLA to a capsule of primrose oil. I've heard from many women who have appreciated spirulina's benefits for PMS and for healthy, beautiful skin.
How much should people take and when should they take it?
Long time consumers and scientific evidence both suggest 2-5 grams a day bring significant health benefits. This is a teaspoon of powder or 6 to 20 tablets. Take it every day for best results. Because spirulina is a whole food, you can take it alone or with meals. Take convenient tablets anytime. Or, mix spirulina powder in a fruit juice smoothie as an instant breakfast, or in a vegetable juice smoothie in the afternoon.
Is spirulina recommended for pregnant mothers, infants and children?
Yes, its a perfect supplement. Iron deficiency anemia in mothers and children is the most prevalent nutritional disorder. Pregnant women can use spirulina's vegetable protein and bioavailable iron. In India and Vietnam, doctors prescribe spirulina for pregnant and nursing mothers and their infants. Parents are often surprised how much their children enjoy this green food. Kids like to suck on tablets and munch spirulina covered popcorn.
What are the benefits for an aging population?
Spirulina is an ideal anti-aging food: concentrated nutrient value, easily digested and loaded with antioxidants. Beta Carotene is good for healthy eyes and vision. This all vegetable, low fat protein means we can lighten up on a meat centered diet that can aggravate arthritis and raise cholesterol. When we choose to eat less meat, vegetables like spirulina are good sources of more iron and essential minerals.
As people age, many who don't eat enough, have restricted diets or poor digestion may experience low energy from being undernourished. Spirulina builds healthy lactobacillus, aiding assimilation and elimination and relieving constipation. Older people really notice an energy boost. In Japan, 73% of those taking spirulina are over 50 years old!
Is spirulina good for pets and other animals?
Yes. Walk into any pet store and you'll find it's a popular supplement for fish, birds and pets. In fact, much of the global spirulina production is consumed by aquaculture raised fish and prawns, tropical fish, ornamental birds, horses and even cats and dogs. In the 1970s, the first use was enhancing the beautiful colors in fancy koi carp. Then fish and prawn farmers discovered it increased growth rates, survival, color, and reduced medications. Today, spirulina is in most premium aquarium feeds.
Zoos feed their flamingos a spirulina diet, like the millions of pink flamingos living on it in East African lakes. Ornamental bird breeders use it to enhance color, health and fertility. Tiny amounts in diets of young turkeys and chickens builds disease resistance, reducing the need for antibiotics. In reptiles, it improves skin gloss and disease resistance. For thoroughbred racehorses, it improves speed and recovery.
If you give spirulina to your dog or cat, you'll notice healthier skin, lustrous coat and fresher breath. Older animals may regain their flexibility. It's not unusual for a pet owner to ask: "Is spirulina good for me, too?"

Spirulina for little Sarah!
Little Sarah just started on a healthier diet! (Hahaha! That should be ME!)
Last Saturday I started adding spirulina powder into her porridge. Her taste buds are still non-contaminated... thus, accepting this green food easily! :)
1/4 teaspoon of spirulina is added into the porridge... so it was carrot & spirulina porridge for her last weekend! Will try to add that into her milk soon too! :)

Deepavali weekend with mummy & J...
It was great to spend time with mummy & J once again after some months. Baby Sarah has grown up! The last that mummy & J saw her was in Melaka during the Mooncake festival week! That was one and half months ago! Time flies indeed.
Little Sarah looked stunned when she woke up from her nap, cuz there stood por-por and ah ee before her very eyes... :) She kept looking... staring... wondering... it took her awhile before she got back to "earth". Por-por then carried her and brought her out and walk around the apartment together with ah ee while I stole a short nap, which really made wonders to my then tired self! It was amazing that she didn't look for me during the walk. Hehehe... I was afraid that she would cry, but no, she didn't. It was only when she reached home and saw me that "reminded her of her mummy!" and started showing gestures of "Mummy! Mummy! Carry me! Carry me!" (hmm... and she sounded like she was panting like a dog!) :p
Here are some photos of us....
At night, we went out for dinner with my in-laws... the whole gang. So sorry, no photos taken... :( We just wahlup the food! It was a yummy dinner in Sg Chua, Kajang.
And then it was Deepavali the following day! The ladies went out while the man of the house stayed at home. To Sarah's favourite hang-out we went.... Jusco Equine Park! :)
Lunch was at Restaurant 3JC. I had rice with (supposedly) spicy minced pork... not spicy AT ALL, mum had cheese baked noodle and J got a bowl of noodle soup... hmmm.... comments on the food? It was just so-so... like as-long-as-there's-food-on-the-table kinda food. I tried before their curry noodle, i think it was alright... next time, we will go to Wong Kok Char Chan Teng (which is just a few doors away... contemplating at first which to go and finally decided on the earlier), which serves better food of the same sort and more variety of juices! :)
Anyway, thanks J for the treat and mummy also - for the gift! It was a fun time together!
And finally Sarah needed her afternoon nap.... J suffered aches on her upper right arm after that! (I just got an sms from her last night about that! hehehe...)

Cell makan outing... at "Look Out Point"
Let's see........ most outings has to do with food, food, food & more food! Right?! Well, I couldn't agree more! It's been yet again another fattening weekend. Unfortunately, there weren't many photos, or even if there were, they are not so good... Hubby left his precious camera back in Kajang. I had to use mine... photos didnt turn out well... so.... very unfortunately, I couldn't let the photos do the talking. Hmmm....
Anyway, just for the fun of it... here are some acceptable photos that I have... :p
Last Friday.... the cell went to "Look Out Point Western Food Restaurant" in Hulu Langat. Beautiful view of KL city... as you can see... Check out the lights! I love the city of lights!! Beauuuuutiful! :)
the entrance.... the view... and... some grilling process...
Uncle Philip carrying little Sarah, who's dressed in her giraffe suit,.. and there she goes, checking out the waiter in cap! :)
Non-flashed photos... the original colored photos... the blurred ones... *sigh...*
Heh heh... check out Isaac! He didn't move at all! He was actually posing for me to take the picture! Cool boy! :)
But unfortunately, my hands shook! *sighhh....*

Anyway, had a great time. It was a short makan outing, but it was worth the try, especially so when the view was sooooooo beautiful from up there! Too many people though (well, it was a weekend), so we didn't get to choose a good spot to sit. Also, thanks to Uncle for the treat, and for bb sitting! :)

This afternoon...
Little Sarah woke up at 12+noon... over 3 hours of sleep! Really really good for mummy here... She woke up when I've finished doing all that is to do in the house including getting her lunch prepared. Yes, today's menu is none other than... carrot porridge! Hehehe... Well, she had some other stuff during the week so... it's carrot porridge this time... from me again (that's the only thing in my fridge!)... but much better taste than the last time i did... cuz i added in fried anchovies! MIL's style! Heh heh... this time, i put less carrot and i blended the porridge... thus, she ate super fast! I was happily feeding her and giving her moral support as well! Hahaha! I really enjoyed feeding her... i wish i could record a video of it... well, maybe tomorrow... with hubby's help! :)She's now playing on her own... better than I expected of her when we came back this round. I thought she would be feeling a lil lost or lonely (since in MIL's place, there's more people around her). Hmm... more running for me though, cuz she's getting really fast on her own! She's been naughty too... playing with DVD folders, paper bags, and everything that is within her reach! Thank God that we're enjoying each other's company at this time...
God bless! Thank U, Lord! :)
This morning...
It's gonna be 12 noon soon... and little Sarah is still in dreamland. :)Good for mummy because mummy can work on some housechores (much needed since we've not come home for about 3 weeks in a row!). She slept since 9am. She didn't have a good rest last night, thus the long hours of sleep this morning. She didnt make much noise or cry at night... she was just restless. She seemed happy... she was smiling almost at all times... playing on her own... but she wasn't sleeping at the time when she normally does. Mummy and daddy here were pretty exhausted... we kinda took turns "checking her out"... but honestly, I cant really remember what happen last night. I was probably half awake during my shift! :p
This morning at 8am, Sarah looked at me from the bb cot.... trying to get my attention while I was still sleeping on the bed beside the cot. She didnt cry... but she was just making some noise and I guess... she was wondering... "how am I gonna get to mummy?!" "she's beyond my reach! boo-hoo-hoo". Well, I guess she also needed some adjustment when comes to sleeping... here, there's a cot for her, but not in Kajang, where she has direct access to mummy and daddy whenever she's awake!
All in all... today's been good. She's a good little girl! :)

[blog from hp] The usual... Traffic jam!
In the car with hubby... at Federal Highway.... Just thought of testing to blog fr the car. Hehe :)
So here goes... my first blog from my hp! Kekeke...
My Saturday....
I've not used the public transport for some time now ever since owning a car. Or even if i did, it was always with hubby - just to "go back to the good-ol-days" once in a blue moon.
Last Saturday, it wasn't just for fun but a need as I was needed to be in PJ for some duties. Hubby had to work on his own project from morning till night so.... there goes my "driver" :p
He sent me to work in the morning but i need to arrange for my own transport to go back. My plan was to take the bus or get a lift to the nearest LRT station... stop at KL sentral.... change train (Komuter) to go back Kajang... take a cab from there back home. I've done that except taking the cab cause I had hubby waiting for me at the station the other time! So... taking the public transport is not something new to me so I thought... no problem!
One thing has changed though... TIME! Fares has gone up... people around me look more "criminal-like"... truly a hassle indeed!
It was at 2.30pm when it's time to pack and go. Stomach was still empty then! Olivia decided to accompany me to wherever since she's not rushing for time. Thanks to her... I had a company for lunch and a bus-mate! :) We stopped at Mid Valley station. Had a late lunch at Burger King and off I went to catch a train back to Kajang. (Olivia continued "lepak-ing" :p)
My experience in the train... it was like sardines!!! I was standing near someone who had his sweat armpit hanging in front of me! Oh boy!!! There wasn't much choice for me too as I was surrounded by soooooo many sweaty human! I made sure my hp was safely kept deep in my pocket and that my laptop bag was carried in front of me instead of the back. I was looking around... some men looked pretty "scary"... Horrible stories i read in email came flashing in my mind. I quickly said a short prayer that I'll reach home safely in one piece. I reached Kajang station and many cab drivers approached me to give me a ride. No, they don't use meter at all... None of them do! Finally i decided to take one of the cab back and I reached home safely in one piece at 5.30pm. *phew* Thank God that everything went on well, despite the hassles and some of my own imaginations.
Well... Did i enjoy my ride? Not at all!
And let's see how much I've spent to get back home...
Bus from PJ to MidValley RM2.00
Train from MidValley to Kajang RM2.60
Cab from Kajang train station to house RM10.00 (crazy right?!)
That's RM14.60 in total!
On a more thankful note, here's thanking my MIL and FIL for taking care of little Sarah on a Saturday when they were meaning to do marketing and other house chores. I know it's a sacrifice they made to make available of their time so that I could perform my duty elsewhere. Will try to avoid this in future...
Thank u, Olivia also for accompanying me half my journey back!
Thank u, dear for sending me to the office in the morning so that I don't need to go through the hassle of taking public transport in the morning.
From my experience here, one thing I learn... to thank God for the blessings He's given me - things that I've taken granted for - like owning a car, like having a husband who drives me to work and back... that brings convenience to me.
Sometimes when we don't go through the hassles and troubles, we forgot to thank God for blessing us with the good things in life! Here's to GOD! Thank Him for ALL the good things in life He has given me! :)

Never Quit!
Many times in my life (even recently), I've been meaning to quit... well, don't ask what or why... and yes, i went through what some people says the "Ecclesiastes feeling"... it's that feeling about life is meaningless, everything I do seems pointless and God seems far away then. Sometimes it feels as if it happens like a cycle in my life. Hubby says it's a year end thing... :p He got that thought because he said it's the time of the year when I normally would recall what I've done this year, what have I achieved, etc... and then thinking again of the coming year's resolution. Hmmm... is it really because of that? It got me thinking....
Well, perhaps it's not just about having a total recall of what has happened this year, but what I believe is happening to me is a shift of the mind that needs to be taken place. It happens almost every now and then (in cycles) because deep within me is still searching for my destiny - Who m I? Why m I here? Things are just moving on as they normally do but what matters most is still "hanging" some where... out there... That alone frustrates me to the point of giving up. Being a new mummy and being in a totally different lifestyle is challenging... it's exciting... it's given me something to look forward to everyday... but somehow, something is still missing. I'm so totally in need of God! I know He's reading my blog and He knows exactly what I'm feeling! (Hehehe... God reads blog! cool! Hey God, what's Your blog address?! :D)
Well... two days ago while at work, it suddenly dawn upon me the reality in life and the response to what I should give towards it. There may be questions unanswered and life's uncertainties around me... (yeah... that Ecclesiastes feeling...), but I know I need to look at things in a different perspective.
Little Sarah taught her mummy a very good lesson! I've learned from just watching my little princess doing her day-to-day activity. She's one girl who never seem to understand the meaning of quitting! I like that about her! At the same time, it reminds me of how I should act and react in my personal life... in my personal agendas. I know it's not easy to do, especially when people becomes more and more complicated in their minds (like me! :p), but I've got to trust God to help me.
O yes Lord... this daughter of Yours is really in need of some guidance! I've been somewhat lost but I know Your amazing grace will save me. Come O Lord... come... and take Your place in my life. In Jesus' name I pray - Amen!
Chris Tomlin - Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

[+video] Sarah's adventure continues... (at Month 7)
Little Sarah... (promoting her status from "baby Sarah" to "little Sarah" since she just turned 7 m.o. hehehe...) continued her exploration on "higher grounds"... dangerous ground for little ones I would say.
Few days ago, we saw her climbing up the stairs. Not one step, not two steps, but four steps... before we brought her back down to safer grounds. Anything and everything seems possible for her. I can imagine her saying, "Nothing can stop me! Nothing can make me quit!" That's my girl!
Check out her latest adventure...
i. Warming up...
OUCH!
ii. At gear 1 (plus distractions along the way)... daddy had to beat her butt when she started doing the "hmm...-i-wonder-what-the-stairs-taste-like".
iii. Her confidence level shot up! OK... ready, get set, GO!

Little princess on the bed...
Hubby says Sarah sleeps like me! Hahaha! I don't know whether to laugh or to cry after hearing this! I could take up the whole space on the bed when I sleep... and here comes the little princess overtaking me! She will roll or crawl here and there and everywhere - looking for the most comfortable spot to sleep on.Few nights ago, I had the pleasure (at about 1am) of watching her crawling towards me, searching for a comfy spot and she finally lean her head on my shoulder and stopped her search. So cute to see her do that! She slept through the night! :)
Last night, hubby saw her awoken suddenly (at about 3+am), lifted her head up, saw me and crawled towards me... and again, searching for a comfy spot.
This time, being unaware, I moved and had my back faced her. She laid her head down behind me and immediately slept there and then through the night! We realized that perhaps our little princess was actually looking for a warm place to sleep on. Cute huh?! :)
A good rest back home...
It was 5.50 pm and I was already back home on the comfort of my bed in SK. So happy! At that time, I would normally still be in office, but yesterday I decided to go back a little earlier to get a good nap since my brain is not really functioning well anyway.
Guess what? I slept right thru for 3 hours!!! Hubby picked me up from home to go to Kajang slightly after 9. Why so late? Well, he had a last minute call for a meeting in office and due to the rain, he got caught in a bad bad jam on his way to SK. *phew!* Thank God I decided to go back home earlier that day! God is good! Thank u, Daniel, for giving me a lift back home.
Today, I am up - all charged up - looking forward for a better day today! God bless all of u for a great week ahead too! :)

I'm exhausted... (2)
I guess there's just one word to describe me right here, right now.... EXHAUSTED!!!
Sigh... some people say "it's part of the joy of motherhood"..?? hmmm.... i would say it's part of motherhood... but joy? not in this case... i just need to draw strength from the Lord... even working is not so fun anymore when you're exhausted. *sigh...*
p/s - I recalled having the same title in my previous post and did a "search my blog"... :p
Yeah, I recalled it right... Read previous post here.
Looks like you're reading from an exhausted mummy blogger who was exhausted then and exhausted now too! *boo hoo hoo*!!
Being in a state of exhaustion....
- The point of complete depletion; used up.
-
- We worked the mine to exhaustion, there's nothing left to extract.
-
- Supreme tiredness; having exhausted energy.
-
- I ran in the marathon to exhaustion, then I collapsed and had to be carried away.

During the Raya break...
Hmm... What kept us busy during the Raya week? Nothing much really... yet, seemed like a pretty restless week. No, we weren't busy baking Raya cookies or go visitation :p *think think think*
Well, perhaps we were just occupied by Ms "Moh Sii Thin". Hehe... She can really occupy us at all times!
Wednesday 1/10/2008...
We didn't do much then except to rest at home... well, tried to... and later that night, DA-aunties came to put a night. They brought us some meat for supper from their BBQ in JOMJ's. Thx JoMJ for the supper! I was really hungry then! Well, all of us were pretty tired... No more energy to actually stay up and chat or do anything of that sort, so we rested "early" at about 1 am. I heard that DA-aunties slept right thru the night and almost immediately once reached the bed. Hor? Hor? :p
Thursday 2/10/2008...
Hubby made us all breakfast! Some nuggets, sausages, fish fillets, broccolis, potato bread + milo/coffee! Thx dear!
Went to the Mines in the afternoon... amanDA aunty's eyes were itchy! Apparently, she couldn't resist the sight of new clothes/bags/shoes/etc etc... :p But i think she was quite "discipline" during that time. Hehehe... Baby Sarah was behaving well... she loves being in shopping malls! brenDA aunty and hubby bought DVD games for themselves! *adui!*
Went home... tired... after walking around the whole of Mines, carrying an 8.5kg load with a baby carrier in front of me is no joke... for 2-3 hours! Me and hubby took turns... *phew* Well, if u guys are asking why didn't we use the stroller... it's because she just couldn't sit still. Perhaps we started too late on her for this, but it was almost impossible to leave her in it for even 5 seconds!
Evening came, DA-aunties went home. My family-in-laws came and off we went for the next round of outing... what else but to fill our empty stomachs! :p
It was at Fun Taipei Teacafe at Jalan Pudu. We were supposed to go for some halker food outside but it was raining... so, we ended up indoors instead.
I did a google search on "Fun Taipei", and check out what I got http://food.malaysiamostwanted.com/venues/fun-taipei-jalan-pudu
Well, I wouldnt say the food is superlicious, but one thing i want to highlight is... u have babysitters there so you can eat your food while your baby is being taken care of. :p
The food and the "baby sitters"...
The ladies carried and played with Reanne & Sarah so we could continue our dinner while our hands were free. But not long after that,....
...they longed for their own mummy/daddy/yeh-yeh/nai-nai... :)
As usual, couldn't take a still photo of baby Sarah and thus the "blur effect".
Here, yeh-yeh was looking through some chinese books displayed at their "reading corner".
And guess what?! Ivan met someone.... hehehehe....
That lil girl was such a cutie! :)

Eggs for Baby Food
Age for Introduction to Baby
8-10 Months - Egg Yolks Only
12 Months - Whole Eggs
The Goodness of Egg Yolks for your Baby
Of the mere 5 grams of fat in an egg yolk, only 1.5 grams (31%) are saturated fat. Monounsaturated fats total 1.9 grams (38%) and polyunsaturated0.68 grams (14%). The ratio of an egg’s fat content comes close to meeting the dietary proportions currently recommended as: -1/3 saturated, 1/3 monounsaturated and 1/3 polyunsaturated.
The egg yolk contains the following:
* all of an egg’s vitamin A, D, and E;
* almost all the vitamin B12, choline, folic acid and vitamin B3;
* 76% of the biotin,
* 73% of the inositol,
* 50% of the niacin,
* 93% of the vitamin B6,
* 42% of the riboflavin,
* 90% of the thiamin
* 44% of the protein
and substantial portions of the egg’s mineral content
Source: The American Egg Board
When can I introduce Eggs to my baby?
Most pediatric resources agree that egg yolks are fine for baby to eat when baby is around 8 months old. Please keep in mind that the egg whites should not be fed to baby before 1 year old. Eggs, particularly the egg whites, are one of the top 8 of all allergens. Many studies that have been done on infants with egg allergies find that by the time the infant has reached age 5, the allergy has been outgrown! This is good news as the egg is highly nutritious and an important part of ones diet!
If your family has a history of egg allergies, then it is probably best to wait until after 12 months old to introduce egg yolks.

Baby Sarah's Weight & Height - Month 6
Last night baby Sarah went to get her third and final Rotavirus vaccination. After this visit, the next would be after her first birthday (WOW! Time flies!!) to get her Measles/mupms/rubella jab.
Month 6 (16 September)
Weight=8.66kg (+0.26kg)
Height=67.5cm (+1cm)
Head circumference=41.5cm (+1cm)
Month 6+ (7 October)
Weight=8.5kg (-0.16kg)
Height=70cm (+2.5cm)
Head circumference=41.5cm (+0cm)
Her weight started decreasing when she had diarrhoea attack mid last month, but then again, it wasn't a surprise that her weight continued to go down a little bit since she is such an active kid! She has a nickname now "moh sii thin"... it's the word for "non-stop" in hakka dialect... hahaha :D
Notice that almost all her pictures are slightly blur :p
We just cant take proper shots of her on the move. She's way tooooo fast! Hubby said need a better camera to take her pictures!
