hi...
just a couple of questions... anyone can answer tis.... #1) will the measurements for the BML/HPW be the same as here? as i know 1 teaspoon in US is not the same as in Australia or here. #2) is it ok to use blackstrap molasses? i've read that it's a better alternative to honey & nectar. (it is more costly) This post has been edited by saramic: Sep 26 2008, 05:56 PM |

QUOTE(jtl @ Sep 26 2008, 06:18 PM) #1) will the measurements for the BML/HPW be the same as here? as i know & double checked....as i know 1 teaspoon in US is not the same as in Australia or here. I use the teaspoon as in the cooking measuring spoons. I thought that is the same all over the world but I do not know for sure. As for cups, I use the standard 8oz cooking cup #2) is it ok to use blackstrap molasses? i've read that it's a better alternative to honey & nectar. (it is more costly) Yes, I too heard that. They say its best to get organic blackstrap molasses. But nectar has few different types. Agave Nectar is used as a sweetener whilst Glider nectar or gliderade have different functions as the latter are used to provide carbohydrate.  1 teaspoon in UK = 2 teaspoon in US 1 tablespoon in US = 3 teaspoon US but in malaysia 1 tablespoon = 4 teaspoon.... i know i've just confused everyone but just wanna find out.... |

QUOTE(^MochI^ @ Oct 2 2008, 01:26 AM) the wombaroo now i giv glitter twice a day, and let her drink as much as she wants. BUT the packet says add 50g of powder to make 200ml milk. I do not need so much. So i just estimate the powder and water. milk is important for a growing suggie so the measurement must be correct.Is there anything i need to be precaution of? About the cheese, is it recommanded to feed a small small piece everyday? Added on October 2, 2008, 1:28 amcalcium : P = 2:1 . Added on October 2, 2008, 1:29 amwad u feed daily? Added on October 2, 2008, 1:38 ami find that PML is the simplest to make. without the gm , ml all that makes me confusing. THE PML any1 tired before? I got the wombaroo milk maybe i can try making it.. anyway the honey use processed 1 right? cheese has alot of salt. try yogurt. yes. only use processed honey. if it is too confusing for you then just feed smoothies/slurp (which ever u still trust) & fruits alternately.... every suggie is different with different preferences for fruits.... example my gadget & qiqi hates apples while timon & pumbaa loves them... so it's up to us to find out what fruits they like & refer to the chart to see that you are giving them the right cal : p ratio.... try not to feed the same fruits every time... be imaginative.... you don't like to eat the same thing all the time too right?  |

QUOTE(NewbieBetta @ Oct 10 2008, 09:37 AM) can we replace wheat germ with wheat bran? i don't think it's wise to replace wheat germ with wheat bran.wheat bran is high in oxalates & oxalates interfere with calcium absorption. |
