Bigtoes :
Ya hope to have one soon, but no luck leh...sigh ...Hubby was either out of the town at the "critical period " or we are too tired
Mamyvelle :
I changed to Pigeon BPA bottles some time back though Alston is still using Avent bottles now. He was not used to the pigeon teat at first and was drinking very slow cos i tink for pigeon teat, bb needs to suckle more in order for the milk to flow out, so I cut the teat to make it wider even though i bot the biggest teat hole. Alston seems to have prob sucking on it and was drinking very slow. He was ok after a few more attempt. I guess he's used to wider teat holes cos i oso cut Avent teat previously.

Chewy, just PM-ed u on my short comment on CL
DISCIPLINE
Hey mummies!! Do u all start experiencing mischief of ur kids, esp BOYS?!
Lately, my IFC teachers told me Ethan like to bully girls in school. It started off biting their hands, and then pulling their hairs!!!
They tried to discipline him but telling him sternly CANNOT.
I was ‘AMAZED’ over it cos Ethan never ‘bullied’ me at home!
But over the weekend, when I brought him to my niece’s place (who is 7yrs old), Ethan started to exhibit hair-pulling behavior and I have seen it with my own eyes!
I beat his hand hard and scolded him CANNOT and gave him a stern look and yet he kept repeating this behavior again!!
:S
GOSh… he still cannot talk now so I wonder how drastic my discipline is.
Any one have the similar plight as me?

hi goldfish ,
yah i received your mail already

<font color="aa00aa">♥Mamyvelle♥ (mamyvelle) - yes, Medela has the bottles, but they come in one size (150ml) only. U can get them at Kiddy Palace, & most other places, about $30+ for 3 bottles. Comes with yellow bottle caps. The teats are seperate, & I am using pigeon ones (for 2+ months) Haha, i know, 2+ months for a 1+ year old toddler, but the size suits K best.
Millie (millie22) - So u do want no. 2! For us, we don't want another baby just yet, want to focus on Kieran for now
Goldfish (goldfish1395) - I think that is quite normal behavior cos they want to assert their authority? K is not at IFC yet, so i don't know how he would behave, but i know he has issues sharing toys with his cousins...not biting or hair pulling, but snatching toys away sometimes. Just persist in smacking the hand & saying NO sternly? Ask the IFC staff to do the same? I think E would get it after awhile.</font>

Goldfish - Little e is not in IFC. But he also snatches toys from other babies in the estate and hit them too. My mum just complained to me last night. Then when we scold him, he hits us as well. So we hit his hand, then he starts to cry like we beat the daylights out of him.
Later when he stops crying, we'll hug him and explained gently that this act only naughty boys do and will not be loved, so if he is clever and good then we love. This got worst= he decided that naughty is what he will be.
So what i did was when he says his night prayers, i will say" thank you jesus for the great day. please guide me to be a good boy so that i will not bit nor snatch toys from another baby". Somehow this works, but its only for a day hor.
sigh. my dad keeps saying he is still young la.obviously spoiling him.

Morning Mummies:
Just tested yesterday n yes... no. 2 is on the way...
Discipline:
i will smack her hands, either front or back. but something i think she didn't feel the pain, she still can smile at me.
Sometime when i hit her, she will sayang herself or show me her hand (maybe she want me to sayang her) but normally i smack her one more time... hee hee... bad mummy.
so far after i smack for the things wrong things she done, she might not repeat again.

Goldfish - i use my hand and bit his palm. At first he cried, but after sometime, he think its a game, when i bit him he pouts then do the same again. So when i put on a stern face, he will cry.
the best part was the other night, after i bit his hand, he crawled away, then he sat there, hit his own head and say "pain", then hit his own hand , imitating me. So funny.
yes, little e can say simple words already. i do think they only understand temporarily.Afterall , like my dad says, they can hardly understand. i think they are in their absorption phase so monkey see monkey do.

breadmum (breadmum) - Yes, they can understand when we scold them/explain to them already! Just that they choose to ignore or pretend to not remember, so have to tell them again & again. K is generally ok with the don't touch, don't tear type of instructions, but not the 'share toys' type, or don't-take-things-out-of-the-fridge-whenever-i-open-it type instructions!
Play dates in Dec:
I am on leave from 8th Dec-7th Jan & gonna be a SAHM then. Hubby's leave only starts from 18h Dec, so it would be just K & myself from 8-17th Dec. Are there any SAHMs that are keen to catch up on weekdays btwn 8-17th Dec - maybe a group thing with babies for coffee/catch up, or go by someone's place for play dates for the babies? Else i don't know what to do at home with K for so many days! PM me to arrange?</font>

My boy do that too, not only doing the stunt on bed but only the floor too.
Try stopping, scolding n beating no use.

Eileen: the product recall was last year and it was a voluntary recall, just to be on the safe side. My boy has been taking this and so far no problem with poo-ing. =)
chew-ring: there are 2 more mummies who are popping before me, but not sure if they want to announce it here, so I shall not reveal.

Eileen,
Alston doesn't have constipation when i switched to Gain IQ, however his stools are a bit hard compared to when he's drinking Enfagrow. So I switched back to Enfa after tat and his stools are soft again.
Bigtoes :
Tot u dun want to have #2 now, so no need envious la...hehe
Too bad I cannot join the gathering, cos i am bringing Alston to US tomorrow, but if there's any Christmas gathering after 17th Dec, do count me in hor

koras & anne teo - correct lor. he keeps peeping through his legs and getting his pillows pulled in between the legs. Am so afraid he will break his neck.
Min did say her maid say this is bad for their backs and necks but am at wits end how to stop him. Anne - lucky mine does it only on the bed. On the floor, he keeps kissing himself when he sees his own reflection. then will get a bruise on his cheeks.
Bigtoes - 18th dec onwards am on leave. But not the dates you've mentioned. lets meet up

My caretaker commented that it will be too heaty leh.. iszit true?

<font color="aa00aa">annteo (annteo) - Fidgets is kinda far from my place cos i am at the North-East side. Am thinking more of a gathering at someone's place, so mommies can sit, eat & chat
Anyways, am looking for playdates for weekdays (2nd & 3rd weeks of Dec)- so if any SAHM or mommies clearing leave are free, let me know! </font>

<font color="aa00aa">Ann - hugs. Hope Ryan gets well & appetite returns very soon. When ever our babies are sick, the parents suffer as well
K also caught fever once when his molars came out - ended up with false measles. His bottom canines are erupting thru now, & thankfully this is the last of the baby teeth coming out for sometime.
Playdates/catch up session -
Okie, have tentatively arranged this with Chantelle for next Wed, sometime in the morning. Venue to be decided, but should be somewhere around the North-East (Seng Kang, Bedok) area. Any other mommies keen? Dates/times are movable.

<font color="aa00aa"> Playdate gathering - okie, seems like most mommies are still working next week....the few of us who can make it will most prob still catch up next Friday (11th Dec).
We can always do another one when most mommies are available - maybe have another late Dec post-Xmas meet up?
Think most of us are travelling/busy during the pre-Xmas period.
Teething - K's lower canines are also erupting. I think he has a strong threshold for pain thou, would just whimper abit at nite & drink water to sooth the pain, but sleeps thru most of it.</font>
