Babymaking, I've emailed you. Can I have the account to transfer? I can only make the payment during lunch time to make it before 3pm, nearby no ATM, must drive to the mall. BTW, can bring maid along or not? I've a business trip n hopefully be back by then otherwise I'll persuade my hb to bring baby there. Thanks.
Reira, just watched your baby youtube. He is really adorable.

The gumball machine is a very old toy already. I have that at home. They probably stopped bringing it in/production already.

Like to share this article on separation anxiety
My experience is that when my bb is anxious and when the talking, cuddling or patting does not work anymore, I sing! She calms down almost immediately! *KTV style
Dealing with separation anxiety
At this age, most babies have typically already begun to show the signs of separation anxiety. Your baby may start to be shy or anxious around strangers, especially when tired or irritable, and when you're out of sight and not with him, he'll become upset. Although it's hard to see your baby distressed, it's important to let him experience this. When you leave your baby and return, proving that you always come back, you're helping him develop trust and the ability to form attachments to other people.
When you leave your baby, kiss and hug him and tell him you'll be back. If he's frightened or just falls apart, take the extra time to calm and reassure him. It's hard not to cry when he starts crying, but your breaking down only prolongs the agony. It may help to have someone else he's familiar with (not a new baby sitter) there to calm him. If your baby gets anxious about nighttime separations, spend some extra cuddle time reading, snuggling and softly singing together before you put him to bed.
Some babies are good at separation and some aren't - it depends on their temperament. Every child is different, as is the amount of reassurance each needs. If you know your baby needs more calming, don't feel bad about giving it or worry that you're just drawing out the process. You know your child better than anyone else, so follow your instincts.

Mommies, can I know how do you make your baby sleep? My mum nags at me saying that my bb gal is spoilt rotten, cos she can only sleep when I stand infront of the fan and patting on her bum + cradling (from left to right) her. Am I spoiling her? Hmmmm I can't seem to pat her to sleep straight on the bed, unless she reckons that she will get the cradling style if she screams. hahaha
Saw another useful article on how you get your bb to nap longer.
How do I get my baby to nap longer?
It depends on why her naps are being cut short. If she's waking up after she's had the rest she needs (even if it's before you're ready for her to be up), there's not much you can do. If, however, she's waking for another reason, there are a number of steps you can take to encourage your baby to get the daytime rest she needs. Most young babies are ready to take a nap almost two hours to the minute after they last woke up. Put your baby down too early and she may just catnap. Put her down too late and she may not sleep well because she's overtired.
Remember too, that all babies have their own sleep preferences. Some take two long (an hour or more) naps a day. Others take three shorter (say, 45 minutes) naps. Both are completely normal.
Some babies will quickly drop back to sleep with a little bit of encouragement, such as a loving stroke. However, if your baby is waking up grumpily from her nap and clearly needing more sleep, you may want to think about how she's going to sleep. If she's being rocked to sleep, breastfed to sleep, or helped to sleep by you in any other way, she may simply be having a brief arousal from her nap. The problem is, she can't fall back to sleep again on her own.
If this is the case, work on getting your baby to soothe herself back to sleep, rather than depending on you to do this, so she can stay asleep and get the rest she needs. Also, make sure that your baby is resting in a cool, quiet, and comfortable place. If she's sleeping in a Moses basket in the living room rather than in her bedroom with the curtains drawn, for instance, it's more likely that her nap will be interrupted by family members going about their business. In general, babies nap best where they sleep at night. As your child grows, a shorter morning or afternoon nap may mean that she's ready to move from two naps a day to one. Most toddlers make the transition to one afternoon nap between 12 and 18 months, although some make the change when they're younger or older. Your child will probably be ready to give up naps altogether between the ages of two and a half and five years.

reira,
seahorse mattress gd and durable. thumb up!
gin,
my bb usually can sleep by herself. i just stuff pacificer and sleep beside her cos i also wanna nap too haha.
strictly no pat pat. nite time, i let her sleep on my bed. she fell asleep and i 'transfer' her to her cot.
her cot is too small for her to turn. she tends to knock on both sides so she awake again. so this way she fall asleep faster.

that time the nurse told me to let bb try egg yolk at 1year then egg white 1 mth later to test allergy coz MMR have egg white content.. if got allergy then cannot take MMR.. mayb u can give egg yolk after 9th month coz normally is the egg white causing the allergy

That's good to hear. I just found out another time-shortening way to cook porridge
After soaking the rice overnite, break the rice by smashing it with a spoon.

making baby sleep
sam has to be carried upright n rocked n hummed to sleep for his 2 day time naps which are ard 2h combined. nite time.. i think his papa leaves him to fallasleep in his cot. esp nowadays we bathe him at nite (gotta wait for his papa coz of my spoilt wrist), he falls asleep more easily

jul,
I really dunno where's the difference ... maybe it's the power of the fire, or maybe it's the type of rice, but i wonder how u all can cook canto-style of porridge under such a short time? If i dun soak the rice overnite, like baby ja, i have to cook it for 4 hrs before it turned nua.
Ooops .. Ovann just sat up on his own in his cot! He was doing a half sit, half crawl position previously. Yippy!
And oh, he just fell asleep playing by himself ... very rare leh
