Littleprince,
Those prices I got from Todayonline..anyway Ryan doesn't use any of those products.
Yeah he is taking Dumex 1+ (duglow- new packaging name). Cost $12.40 for refill packet 1.4kg at Seng Siong - economical. The chinese medicine shop sells the 1.6kg tin at $15.

Littleprince,
he was on simlac excellence 2..then tried Gain IQ(super expensive and gave him constipation problem) .so switch him to Dumex and he is okay with it so far.
he drinks 240ml x 4/5 times daily + 2 tea time snacks + lunch + dinner.
so like 1 mth need about 2 (1.4kg) refill packet. now in school he drinks lesser milk..but at least 3 bottles a day.
Berry,
Pediasure expensive.. 1 small tin 900g $26/$28...supose to be more "complete" nutrition..but dun really know about it..didn't let him try..they come in vanila and chocolate taste.

i am thinking of GainIQ, no particular reason. hb's nephew taking Pediasure, dunno what is the difference between the two since they are both under Abott.

wah, ryan got big appetite! hehe .. Dumex and the Abott group FMs' prices very big diff rite? nutrients wise also very big diff or not? Pediasure's price is very similar to Similac Follow up! *horror*

Nutrients wise the only difference I find is the % of DHA/AHA etc.. the iron content is also very high in Gain IQ.. therefore it caused Ryan hard stool/constipation. Other than that not much difference as both have DHA/AHA ..anyway this DHA/AHA can also be optain from other food sources like Fish etc.
When they grow bigger eat more mah..so more $$ on pocket to give them so expensive milk..still have the increase in quantity of solid food etc. Supplements wise I give him cod liver oil (orange flavour).

ruffy, wah is expensive! then maybe not pediasure liao hehe.
little prince, I think abbott's products r made in ang mo country, so airticket costs more whereas dumex made in malaysia, sit bus to sg not so exp
pcs, IF ONLY faye sits in a pram, I'll most definitely get a mcClaren stroller. Superior quality and looks good imo.

Dumex- packaging 2 types- packed in malaysia or singapore.. Milkpowder comes from NZ. Packaging by malaysia cheaper then the singapore packaging.
Berry,
Think can forget about getting bb to sit in pram. Ryan only will sit in it if he is being pushed continuously or fast asleep. And still can come out of the restrains. McClaren is nice..but can be quite heavy.

recognise gd enough liao, if flashcards can help her gain faster recognition of words (in turn when reading books she can hopefully recognise same words).
Once u recognise, then can remember... then when the fine motor skills are there for writing, can hopefully learn to write same words easier.
But I'm not diligent in "flashing" . LOL.

oh dear, i am also concern abt iron nowadays. rhyan never had problem with it till in the recent mths, constipates easily which is why i had to stop cereals. i am also thinking not necessary to give very exp FM since he is taking nutritious meals at nanny's pl liao.
berry
LOL! maybe abbott should consider taking ships here instead of airplanes!
medusa
athena pressed "back" and "post" ah!

READING AND FLASHCARDS
my aim is to encourage luke to have a thirst for learning that will last a lifetime. many pple talk about the critical period for learning to be in the first few years but i think that learning is an ongoing process that lasts throughout your life. flashcards may enable the child to recognise the words but if you give him a new word like "gobbledygook", can he read it? if you teach say, phonics, then the child should be able to read by himself (i.e. independent learning) and not be so reliant on having seen the word before to be able to read. but hor, word recognition is important, it's just personal preference of how i want luke to learn that's all. plus, i am not that hardworking as to do up all the flashcards properly
hehe, actually hor, as a sahm, i don't spend that much time consciously "educating" him. he will learn at his own pace and he will naturally learn by himself in our normal family environment. i think sometimes we parents put too much pressure on ourselves for our child's intellectual growth. so SULYVIN, while i see your point, no need to worry that your child will be shortchanged by you working!
PEDIASURE
isn't that meant more for kids with poor appetite? that's what i heard hor, haven't compared contents of the different types. anyone planning to just get normal full cream milk, like Nespray?
PRAM
i got the Maclaren Techno XT which i like very much, very sturdy, smooth wheels, goes up and down steps, rough terrain very easily. just that no stroller bar and may be a bit heavy if you gotta take public transport. if you want lighter, get the Maclaren Volo, but not padded, no canopy (can buy as extra attachment but that adds to the weight), and cannot recline.

Watching TV
Last nite, Meghan was very engrossed in watching the Brainiest Kid show. Can giggle some more. I think she thought the little boys talking to her!

SAHM n HOME EDUCATION- yar, I also dont go about my day planning what to teach faye and consciouly making sure she is learning something all the time. In fact, we just do every regular stuff- she plays freely on her own, we play with toys/stuff together, she flips n 'reads'(look at pictures) on her own, sometimes I read to her, and we pillow-fight alot
deniz, iron is good but faye cant take much, it constipates her very badly.

RE: Home education
Hehehe...i dun do home education yet. Now only engage in ALOT of play... Kieran loves to play hide n seek or even catching with me. Other times, we kick/roll ball, push his toy cars around or he crawls/walks ard on his own. Free exploration
little prince,
Abbott didn't call u? They called me n has delivered a tin of Gain IQ to me liao. Will let Kieran try it out. From wat i heard, Pediasure is for children wif poor appetites.
