anyone potty trained / training their kid already? my MIL keeps bugging me to start... but i don't see the hurry... m i too lazy?

Fel, not sure if anyone has replied to you about where to get the Bella Band... I bought mine from Mothercare in 2009... hope they still have it. I found it very useful. Caecilia, the California Baby range of products is much cheaper in the US. Happy shopping!

low placenta - for my first pregnancy, my placenta was a bit low but it moved to the correct place in the end. this time round, also a bit low, gynae said could explain the slight bleeding i experienced. I think not confirmed have to c-section unless the placenta is still low at the end, and...

Mummies, if you have any itching (esp if on hands and feet), you should mention it to your gynae even if you think you don't want any medication. It could be a sign of a pregnancy-related liver problem. Don't want to alarm anyone, but thought should say...

Fatbobo, i agree with you on the social responsibility part. i read an article by a doctor saying that for those of us with generally healthy kids, skipping the vaccinations (and our children getting the disease) is no big deal, they'll recover. but if enough people don't take the vaccinations...

thanks, SL, Joycec and Joeey... Joycec, my girl does that too. after she wakes up in the morning and after her naps, she must just lie on me and manja for a while... i try to think of it as bonding... then after 5-10 mins, i will ask her if she wants to find her balloon / teddy bear / some...

Thanks, Piggy, Jacqueline, Cheerios & other mummies for their good wishes. I'm going for detailed scan on 25th, hopefully will find out whether boy or girl. Quite excited! Cheerios, my girl takes 2 naps a day. A short one in the morning and a longer one after lunch. 45 mins + 90-120...

Jacqueline, congrats! i'm not sure if it's possible to find confinement lady where u are, but when I was in LA, it was quite common among the Chinese community there. the cost is about US$3000 though. I'm now in the UK, am expecting #2 also. But dunno whether it's girl or boy yet cos...

Sharon, you're welcome! Actually after reading about all the mummies here who 舍不得 give up latching. I feel a bit bad. Strangely, I suddenly felt very invaded whenever my daughter was latched on. I never felt that way until she turned about a month before I decided to wean her. But a year of...

Sharon, for tantrums, how i trained my girl was that we started at home. If she cried unreasonably or whines, she gets nothing until she calms down. When we first started "training", there was one afternoon she screamed intermittently for 90 mins wanting to be carried. Now when she wants to be...

Bobo, when my girl was about 9 months old, there was a week, she practically only ate carrots. cos she would only eat stuff that she could hold, so that week, she survived on carrots and cheerios. i was a little worried that she might turn orange but she seemed alright. all her poop was...

Kikilala, my girl has been doing that too... guess the tantrums are beginning...

Mashy, but she didn't ask for milk leh, and she already knows how. And when I gave her her milk at 6.45am, she only drank half the usual amount. Kikilala, oh dear... why is your boy waking up so often?

my girl is waking up earlier and earlier... today she woke up at 5.40am. I sat next to her and patted her for an hour before letting her get up. I am so tired! any mummies with same problem?
