Hi Stanley, if your child is covered by insurance, rather u go for private. But restructured hospital definitely cheaper for Singaporeans. The private surgeon's name is Dr. Pang Yoke Tein. Clinic at both Mr. E and Novena Medical Centre.

About 12k for private surgeons. Covered by insurance though.

Hi scrumpee, can u share which school your son is attending?

Hi Twinstar My son is n ow 3.5yrs old. When he was younger, his eye contact was also very poor and he fleets from task to task. That was when i suspected he could be ASD. However, have faith, because eye contact can be improved. My son now has eye contact and he didn't attend any OT. (but...

Thanks Upie. From your posting, you sounded like a very positve mummy. Good for you! Don't put too much pressure on yourself with regards to no. 2. Just want to share that my son's pretend play is also quite poor and limited. We really need to invest a lot of time to play with them. I...

Dear mummies, I have been following this thread for a while. I have a son whom i suspected that he could be austistic since 2.5yrs old, but he's on the high-functioning end -- Asperger Syndrome. He has majority of the traits of Asperger Syndrome -- speaks well, age-appropriate cognitive...

Hi Amanda Babies will eventually lose their baby fat later when they can crawl and walk. so dun worry k. think of it this way... it is good that he is drinking. Not like my son, so difficult to feed him milk when he was little.

Hi Amanda, Haha... your bb has excess fats huh... but honestly, it's good that he is drinking a lot of milk. Not like mine, he doesn't drink a lot back then when he was little. If he is resistant to pacifer, then i suppose giving water is the only way. However, would really suggest let...

HI Amanda Understand your situation. If you read my earlier post i this thread, you will know why I sympathise with you. I been thru the same tough stage. 2 months is still relatively young. They still need more milk for growth. Have you tried pacifier? Sometimes babies just want to...

Hi I'm looking for a good transfer filipino maid to take care of my 2yr old son and for household chores. If you are letting go of your maid, please pm me. Thanks.

I also agree totallyt that having siblings may not necessarily mean that they will all get along very well. sghlynn, it's true that whether or not you want to make some sacrifices to have a 2nd child, depends on one's expectations greatly. to each its own... everyone has different...
