Hmm..very active thread these 2 days, where should i start?
MF:
I kiasu, bot a tin of Gain IQ on standby olreadi.
Tang Ling, what i plan to do is by mixing 2 MF into a bottle before giving Jay. Slowly i will reduce his Nan 2 HA quantity until he gets acquired to the taste of Gain IQ.
"throwing head backwards":
Aiyoh, Jay also very fond of doing this when he throws a tantrum
He also "screeched" liked a car nowadays like he is testing his vocals, very often too.
Baby Einstein during mealtimes:
These 2 weeks my boy develops this funny habit. He will fuss and not eat unless we put on Baby Einstein VCD. Once the programme is on, he is most attentive, eyes glued to the TV.
He can watched the same VCD for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!( my gosh)
I think i have to get a few more pcs for variety.
Any mommies facing the same situation?
Weight vs Food:
I haven't weight him but should be around 9.5kg(?) He has suddenly grown taller too. Not surprised since he is always stretching to take things from the table, cupboard pulling the drawers, etc..
Food exposed to:
Veg: Spinach,brocoli, chye sim,cauliflower, dou miao,celery,corn, carrot,tomatoes, pumpkin, potatoes
Meat: fish,pork, beef, chicken, silver fish
Lately, i bot small quantity of yellow beans, black beans and red beans. I mix all 3 types of beans and separate them into small bags.
I boiled them as soup-base and used it to cook porridge for Jay sometimes.
"treasure box"
mckee, i liked your idea of a box of assorted things to distract our BBs when they are up to nonsense. Things they liked:e.g calculator, vitamin bottle, comb, biscuits etc...
I'll try it out.
Flashcards:
Me very lazy too, i bot the Shicida Cards ( instead of dots, its animals replacing the dots (e.g frogs, chickens etc..)
I have since stopped but occassionally i still flash the picture cards. I'm also reading up on baby signs and trying to practise it on Jay too.
Tang Ling
Can trouble you to email me the dotcard template, many thanks!
Next PG:
I'm all for the suggestion of a discussion topic for each PG. There should be a mothers' interaction/bonding session while our HBs mind the kids..hehe!
