Ler Ler Mum, that is considered walking already. Since your gal can self stand and take a few steps, is the intial stage of walking. Just give her more time to be more apt in walking and then she will forget about crawling. Actually crawling is good. I have read an article that the more they crawl they cleverer they are. While children who don't crawl at all may have learning problem. I guess your girl must be very fast in learning new things/words.
Ler ler Mum,
My DS was doing the same and he walked independently probably 1-2 weeks later so you just wait patiently.
Mommies that go to GUG class, do you remember the lyrics to the Good Morning song? I always seem to forget the lyrics once I leave the classroom.
So I just make up the lyrics when I sing to him. Kekeke!

morning all,
Swanston,
I wanted to let him try a full rice meal instead of porridge, not dare yet.
anyone try to cook macoroni? Is it easy and soft to chew? I read the instructions need to pour away the water and add in soup base. The size i bought is the standard half donut shape type. need to cruch it further?
Cos i could be bringing bb out for swim b4 dinner and most likely after dat wont go back home cook, if go out eat, if no porridge how? cook macoroni is fast, so if go parents' place, can cook fast. maybe put some of our gravy and that's it.
Recently I bought healthy times mixed grain. all the while he is taking cerelac.
Then, when he ate, he nearly puke, cos v bland..
very funny though, but have to ask him swallow by watching tv or give bread or let him play with the bowl.

During my son's time. I remember discussing with my friend whose son is the who have speech problem. According to her she had alot of ultra sound done during her gynae checkup. She had read that ultra sound may affect speech development. But then I had more ultra sound compared to her.
I have another friend, she literally don't do ultrasound at all. Except for the 2 details scans. Her girl really speak well at very early stage. There again, it could be the gender difference.

kimifin, you don't have to crush it further. After cooking it will be soft. So if your boy cannot take the whole piece at a time, you can use the spoon to cut it further. When my boy is young that time, he takes a piece of the standard size macrononi per feed initially. So a bowl may take sometime to finish.
Also it takes a while to cook until the macoroni is soft. Maybe 15-20minutes, i use low fire.
Usually if I bring my kids out, 3-4hours. I will cook the porridge in slow cooker with auto setting. I will put lots of water so that it won't dry up. We cook the ingredient separately. Then I will store the cooked food in the fridge (the food will definately be consumed within 12 hours, I will discard if longer than 24 hours). When time to eat, I will pour the food into the slow cooker which contain the porridge for 10minutes with high setting. Then serve.

hey all,
just to ask how many of your kids are taking pacifier? My gal keep on asking for her tutu almost the whole day... almost drive me crazy...
Any way to stop them from asking? Im sending her to cc maybe in June and hope she kicks this habit by then... if not, she is the only one taking it.

Hi Cljl,
My gal also taking pacifier..but she would only ask from it when she wanna slp.. However, she love to eat titbits..so when i think it is enuff for her to stop eating and she still ask for more biscuits..i will pass her the pacifier to suck...
To stop them from eating pacifier..i read that some mummies cut a hole in pacifier so that they dun feel so shiok when sucking. But personally, i haven try that..dun know if it's safe to do that..

Hi..
I didnt do any detail scan during my preggie days and my gal also haven really start talking..she only can say few simple words...if there's someting that she want..she will point instead..
Is their molar teeth growing? Mine starting to use her fingers to chew..i didnt realise it until u mention the molar teeth..so that makes sense when she remove her pacifier and start to chew on her finger..Hmm..

yanyan, i duno if its a habit leh.. coz my hubby used to object frm giving her the pacifier.. then once, she was in e car seat and she cry non stop, so whenever, she's in the car, her dad wil pop in into her mouth.. then now, i think it becom a habit.. when i put her in(haven strap seat belt) she ask for it! faints....
oh.. maybe i shld try to cut a hole.. haha.. n she is stil using pigeon step 1(0-3 mths)!
swanston, sometimes she chew on quite hard.. when she slps, she chew till i hear sound.. n very fast the line of her biting is obvious...

Oh.. Why not change the pacifier？ i change to 12-18 mth.. Initially she dun like it so i thought can give up the pacifier le but nw she get used to it..
Ya.. They juz cant sit in the carseat.. I hv resorted to get a portable dvd player, put in car and on hi5.. Only with this then she can sit quietly.. Haiz..

swanston, I think 15mths not talking well is still ok. But when 3 years old and not talking will really be a case for concern. But your gal knows how to call papa, mama and mum mum, right? So not much of a concern. My friend's son can't even call mama clearly at 3 year old. That is worrying.
yanyan, i tried to give her avent one... when i put in her mouth, her tongue stick-out and refuse to take and she ask for tutu.. faint..
as for car-seat, sometimes i don't care.. if i drive alone with her, i will let her cry till she stop.. hehehe...
swanston, not also chewing but her pacifier is always in her mouth lo.. like her comforter...

Ooh.. Think she too used to her tutu.. I used to change the tutu every 3 mths & increase the size.. So she hate it when i change.. She will ask but i say no more.. Take or throw the new one (i hope she choose throw) haha.. But she still take..
I cant drive with her screaming coz she not only scream.. She struggle & kick.. Scary loh

swanston, talk to her more lor. She may be influenced. Or it might be their nature. Actually I find that at this stage, they don't talk much. I noticed it during my son's time. They are more on observing how we talk. So the more we talk the more they learn. Then when he become confortable with talking, he talks non-stop. He can talk for 1 hour non-stop when he goes walk with me when he is around 3years old.
My son suddenly picky abt food. He even reject cereal.. Anyone experience b4?
He shove my hand off when I try to feed him rice. Mayb rice too hard? His molars not out yet. V sian trying to persuade him to eat!
Normally he open his mouth to any spoon I fed him...
V v sian if he picks on food n I need to accustom to his taste.
Oh , he prefers to drk plain water n soup...

kanelmo, that is what I was told by my friend. I baby talk (very slightly just for him to catch words like car-car, no-no) to my son last time too. However 90% of the time we speak full sentence. When he gets older like 2+ we stop baby talk and he forget those double words entirely.
kimifin, you recently change his cereal brand?
Sometime it is not that they are picky, just we change their food. So they got a shock to eat new food. In case taste different again. So I find that try not to change their main food too often.
If want to introduce new food, introduce in small quantity. Perhaps as a snack first.
As adults we also don't like to experiment different food right? Especially new food we don't like, we will not like to eat in large quantity.
BTW, actually kids don't get tired eating the same type of food everyday. It is the adult who feel that they are tired of the food and wants to try different thing for them. It is good to eat a variety. Like I change different type of fish, different meat (chicken/pork), different veg. However I don't change their food drastically, in case they are shock and become picky.

Hi All! My boy just had his MMR on Monday and murse ask to monitor 5 - 7 days later to see got fever or not. Hope no fever.
On speech, my boy now 15 months still cannot even call papa or mama leh. He only baby talk alot. I bit worried. Wonder what's wrong. Doc say monitor till 18 months but ask us to try to keep to 1 language at home in case he gets confuse with too many language.
Yanyan - I brought my boy to cruise on SuperStar Virgo last year. I can add you to my FB so you can see the ship pic if you want. Its easy to holiday on cruise when travelling with a young kid as all facilities within reach onboard. Can ask for baby porridge and they provide Heniz bottled food if you want at all inclusive restaurants. Ask for baby bath tub & baby cot when making reservation.

@yanyan - I'll add you tonight as my office block FB.
When i cruise with my boy (i think he about 10/11 months old then, he only loves the cabin so we ended up rolling around the cabin most of the time)
@ardenz - my boy havent take pneumococcal yet. The nurse just told me now if under 2 years old need to take 2 jab instead of 1. new ruiling oh.
@ardenz - my boy havent take pneumococcal yet. The nurse just told me now if under 2 years old need to take 2 jab instead of 1. new ruiling oh.
My gal has taken pneumococcal last year when she turn 1year old. Then after 2 weeks she is down with a very bad flu which lasted for 2 weeks with bad cough. Almost wheeze. Don't know if the flu is connected with the P jab or not. Or the jab actually temporary weaken her immunity as her body is still fighting the virus. Then contacted people with flu virus and added on to her burden. So I think maybe should try to avoid crowded places for at least 3 weeks after this jab.
Bidosoh, the flu and cough are due to the P jab... The GP told me so cos my gal also kena very bad flu, running nose, cough and even wheeze after the last P jab. Very bad... She lost all her appetite during the 2 weeks. Now I'm trying to delay the MMR, but just gotta know I had actually scheduled it for this Sat. But she's having a bit of cough now, might use this excuse to postpone it. See what the doctor say on Sat.
Re: talking
My gal also not speaking yet. She will prefer to point and say 'eh'.... But she does babytalk like saying 'ball ball', 'mao mao' (cat), bubble, pa pa, 'mumm mumm', 'mil mil' (milk), bye bye (when shes happy)... Anyway, I'm not that worried as she's like her daddy, doesn't say much one. Haha...
Re: teething
All her 8 front teeth are out. Now I can see half a molar out. Think one of the 'tiger' tooth also coming out soon... I hope she wont suffer too much for the growing molar...

Hi everyone,
The thread is finally alive with discussions.
Re: talking
My boy also still baby talking "mum mum", "pa pa", "ta ta ta" and recently "zzzzzzzz". Think is still alright that at this age they haven't start talking our language. Actually is best that 1 parent speaks english and another speaks mandarin. Kids are fast learners so dun worry they will be confused (but of course we shouldn't speak mix languages to them), this is a good age to expose them to different languages.
Re: teething
My boy is having 3 molars. And recently dunno if its due to i wiped his gum too hard that cause his gums to bleed (the area where the molar is erupting).
Found this mummy blog who is very good in teaching her children reading and phonics. http://tamarindphonics.blogspot.com/2009/10/first-step-teaching-b-c.html

Yan yan, my gal loves tv too!! Whenever she's home from IFC, she will point to the tv or pads me the remote control. So everyday when she's home at night, we will have the tv on. She loves Disney playhouse channel, esp Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! Also she started watching Baby Signing Time since she was 7 months, now and then I still let her watch the DVD.
