Hi mummies, does your baby know how to put pacifier into his/her own mouth. I read that babies like to put things into their mouth and realise that some of your babies are actually doing it. However, for my baby, he refuses to take his own pacifier and put into his mouth although he craves for it....he will just cry and wait for us to put it into his mouth...strange.

sweetie, i'm not afraid. i'm sure i will be able to adapt to it very soon. just like in the beginning when i had a new member (Samuel), i was also not used to it. but i had adapted to it and am looking forward to a new challenge. i love being pregnant and i miss it...i was just chatting with a friend on MSN about losing temper. yes, i do but only a couple of times and i really felt so so guilty after that. i always tell myself, when baby fusses, there must be a reason. we should understand why they fuss instead of scolding them. many a times, i got angry because Samuel fussed and realised he actually passed motion. there's always something our babies wanna tell us. all they could do was to Eh Eh, Oo Oo and Ah Ah...don't scold them...

I admire your "courage"... Though I oso want to have a 2nd baby but I dun think I'm able to cope now especially when Janelle is so sticky. I dun even have time to have a proper bath w/o her crying outside the bathroom.

jenifur, aiyoyo...poor thing. i guess a helper is very much appreciated. i usually will let my maid go "off" after 8pm every evening. when i need to shower, i'll get my hubby to handle Samuel. since 2 weeks ago, Samuel started crying to look for me and my hubby had to carry him into the bathroom to look for me. now, Samuel crawls INTO the bathroom himself to look for me! *faint*

mums,
i am now feeding grace with a vitamin supplement called appeton. its infant drops, 1 ml a day. Said to improve appetite. I am monitoring grace since she first took it yesterday. grace has lost appetite ever since her flu and cough. she has recovered so i hope her appetite will regain back to normal again...

San: It's completely normal. When bb is teething she usually just wants to bite on things cos the sensation is new. Biting also helps to alleviate the discomfort that comes with teething. She will drink milk again once the discomfort wears off. This could take a few days to a week, unless another tooth sprouts immediately.
Jenifur: By baby spinach do u mean the sort with round leaves? It yes then you can get them at all wet market veg stalls. Supermarkets also sell them.

He taking me as pacifier. nipple goes in he falls asleep, take out he make a fuss again. last nite got up more than 10 times. Some mummies sugessted puting bb asleep in his bb cot will allow him sleep thruout (or longer)? Any mummies got any suggestions? Or where yr bb sleeps?

MBD, i have just introduced Enfapro A+ to my babe. but it was from tbf; not enfalac. so far, no constipation cos he's still on 2 feeds of EBM. i hope by the time he's on 100% FM (1 week later cos EBM can only last till then), he won't suffer any constipation.
by the way mummies, how do your babies' poot poot look like now? Samuel passes motion 2 to 3 times a day now...very very smelly, light brownish with undigested vegetables. sometimes quite sticky and sometimes watery...is this normal?
GUG TRIAL
hi mummies, i just received a call from the school saying that it is impossible to arrange a trial class on weekend cos their weekends are already filled. they offered to start an exclusive trial class for us if we're agreeable on Tue or Thu 1pm. how many of you interested?
jenifur, the baby spinach's leaves are small small and the stems are very thin one. in general, it's really so much smaller than the normal spinach. my MIL buys that for the children's porridge.

Re GUG trial, I'm interested if the exclusive trial class is on. Actually I hv already put Kaiser on waiting list for new term but if there got a slot for trial (of course it's chargeable lah), I w/d like to try out & see how's the boy's response in class.

i will leave my girl in the cot when i go shower in the morning b4 going for work, must quickly shower in 10 min, no longer have luxury to take relaxing hot shower!
so far, she ok, entertain herself standing by holding on to the cot and biting the wood or playing with some toys.
just afraid she will bang her head agst the wood coz she knows how to stand, but dunno how to sit. hee hee.. just let go her hands anytime she wants to.
mine will drink milk until enough. then she will stop drinking and bite the teat to ease her gums.
Sneaky,
GUG on weekdays not possible liao coz working leh.
if my girl doesn't constipate, she will also poo 2 or 3 times a day. undigested vege also appear. tot that's normal. so i didn't bother
fushiarstar,
I steam the asparagus and then use blender to puree it.
honeystar,
no hard & fast rule. my girl is 8 mths liao. on 3 meals per day. good to have variety and establish eating solids, otherwise later grow up to be fussy eaters.
3rascals,
my girl used to sleep in her sarong. now she sleeps with me on my bed. sometimes i put her in her cot.
few weeks back, she also woke up at 2am for milk, which she actually stopped doing for some time liao. now she's sleeping thru the nite from 8pm or 9pm to 6am again.
dunno if she was not drinking enuff during the day or coz discomfort from teething then.

yippee, ok...i'll log you in...
actually, i think i'd better change my target school. besides telling me about the trial, they told me the enrichment classes that are scheduled on weekends are totally full. next available date would be around August but still must line-up cos there's a waiting list...haiz...maybe i'll try Kindermusik instead....what say you all? anyone wants to sign up for Kindermusik on a weekend (sun 4pm)?

yippee, Julia Gabriel is indeed expensive...my younger nephew is now with JG while his elder sis is with Chiltern House. fyi, Chiltern House's school fee is more than $750 a month after subsidy...i read that their playclub is similar to Kindermusik cos they emphasize on rhythms and music. i think i'll probably start Samuel on Kindermusik first...i know for sure he'll be interested cos he loves music...when my stepdad plays the keyboard, sings or dances, he will clap and follow the beat.
3rascals. what time does yr bby go to bed? maybe let him play more in the day take fewer naps and sleep slightly later. Another way is to give him one feed while he's still in bed say about 11pm before u go to sleep. That feed shld last him till morning. I think most babies wake up becos they are hungry or warm..
Hi mothers,
any advice for me - i'm travlling with baby for a short holiday to Malaysia - coach ride only 4 hrs there n 4 hrs back. I can't have the luxury of giving her fish and vege porr when im there so I'm packing bottled jar foods, not sure if she will like them... any advice would be appreciated. I'll be putting up in a hotel.
cheers

Hi Sneaky.. SSL - thanks .
yes sometimes i give her brown rice cereal (nestle) but i dont know if it contains enough nutrients or not. I have packed some bottled jar foods (not sure if she likes them) as well as the nestle rice cereal. I suppose if all fails, I'll just give her milk!

pammie:latch ard 11 - 12 midnite. but still middle of nite will wake up for more milk.
Cereals will b sufficient.infact i find cereals more nutrious than porridge. 2 - 3 days w/o fish is ok.
sweetie: I choose a low profile job so that i can knock off on the dot & hv family time. Family time 1st piority, $ 2nd, career advancement last.

i chopped the asparagus really fine and steamed and cooked.. zoe seems to like it
pammie.. i've seen families that actually bring an electric stove and cook at hotels in malaysia!.. maybe you can try the baby cereals with added meats and veg?
sunset: my baby loves pumpkin
cook as akiki suggests
sweetie: i've chosen to give up an easily 5 figure job to now work only 2 afternoons a week.. and now i don't even take home 2k.. but i get to see my baby grow up
and thankfully have a hubby that supports me in that decision..finances is now really tight and there are many things that i used to do that i can't afford to anymore.. can't say that i don't miss it.. but my baby's smile more than makes up for that..it's really a personal choice.. hope you will be happy whichever you choose..

fushiastar,
I have just changed job. have been on the job for abt 1 month now. reason for changing is to totally be grounded cos previous job requires me to fly two weeks a month. now at the new job, i realized that its a position that is not so well recognized. its a low profile job and i get to knock off on time as what i wanted when i decided to quit my previous job.
i am confused as i find myself miserable during office hours and only hope to knock off and be home with grace and hubby at night. is that what you are also looking forward to every day?

3rascals, u may find this article useful then.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/parenting/your_kids/babies_sleeping.shtml
My theory is that when it is sleeping time for bb, they don't latch strong enough for a ful meal, it's just for comfort, so even if you latch at 11pm or so, he may not have taken alot of milk and may still wake up. But if he is full and wakes up out of habit then maybe you can use the tips above.
Fushiastar - i can't see myself lugging a stove on a holiday! anyway since many have advised on use of powdered cereals, i'll try that.
on job situation, i must say it's not as hard as it was initially. I try not to think of my baby too much at work. When i had to make my 1st biz trip, it was close to torture. I prayed everyday for the biz trip to be cancelled but eventually I did it. It wasn't so bad. 1st time is always harder.
A question for mothers - how do u discipline a 9 mth old baby? my baby likes to play with water when we feed her from a spoon and making a mess. I tried scolding her, looking sternly at her, they don't work. She thinks I'm playing with her so she imitates me. Anyone wth similar experience?
