Thanks Mush and Blue Turtle! Yes, I bought the training pants from Mothercare & Kiddy Palace. Will see which one works better. Have not let duaghter use them though, let her get use to the playschool first.

Hi Mummies! My gal starting playschool/ child care next week, 3 hours only. The school wants us to get her cloth training diapers. Besides Bumwear (which is quite expensive at $27 + $7 insert), anywhere else that i can find these training diapers? Thanks!

re holiday: I brought my gal on a trip a few months ago. We basically brought along a lot of Heinz jarred food and baby cereal. We also let her ate whatever we thought was suitable at the buffet eg. porridge, boiled egg, fruits. We are going to Phuket next mth. Think will do the same again. At...

re toothpaste for baby. I asked my sister in-law who is a dentist the same question before. Below was taken from her email reply to me: ".. I never used toothpaste ( baby toothpaste) till XX was able to actually spit a fair bit: they can never spit well till about 8 i think. But i did't...

My gal was on TBF til 6 mths old. Her record was 2 weeks without poo. As long as baby is eating and active, still wetting diapers, no tummy pain, then should be okay.

Hi Xinle, My baby is also 14 mths now and we r also looking at playgroup around Yishun and Sembawang area when she turns 18 months. The more I read the more I got confused. There are just too many choices. So, I'll just pick one that is nearby and looks reasonable. Sometimes it is just a gut...

Botanic garden is a good idea but will be too hot in the afternoon. Does the place have any areas with shade (pardon my ignorance, I hardly go there and had only visited early in the morning or in the evening)?

Dengue has reached epidemic level now. Any mummies know of where to get insect repellant suitable for toddlers? what brand? how about lotion with insect repellant properties (from Johnson?), anyone seen anything like that before?

My gal also down with cough and phlegm for many days despite trying Flumacil and bromhexine. Today woke up with fever and wheezes. Off to Pead and her medications alone cost me 100+. Hope she gets well soon.... so, don't think she can join the playdate this Saturday too.

tinospora, thanks for sharing the link. Gosh, I've got so many of the toys that failed the test.... rubber ducks, party clappers, multi-colored balls (150 of them!) and the sponge ball.

Just sharing this article. Very long but a good read. Glad that I just need to be a "good enough mother" and a reminder not to "over-do" the parenting, i.e don't "over-protect", "over-praise" etc. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]...

Sheryl, my baby kept wanting to lunge forward to splash the water when she used the babyseat float... too dangerous. So we ended up just holding her, let her play with the water without any floating device and she seemed happier that way too.

23 July (Saturday) Playdate (after lunch) - SN - Evejol - Michelle (maybe) - edie - mrs Teo (Vivy) - mush - pringles Count me in! thanks!

Just wondering how would the ticketing officer at the zoo know the kid is more than 1 year old... we don't carry the kid's birth cert around right!?

Wow these baby shoes are soooo expensive! checked out Pedipeds and See Kai Run from the online shop recommended, shocked to find that they are so expensive even with promotions. Feels it is not worth the money given that they will probably outgrow the shoes by a few months or half a year??? Any...
