Mongs baby and megan sooo cute sooo sweet
)
Wendyl
I'm interested.. let me check with HB first..will revert..
mamachan
hmm.. did u consider getting a nanny instead?
my SIL ever told me her sister work in infant care and (I dunno if every infant care is the same) the "teacher" in infant actually tie babies' hand and leg when they are in their cot so they dun flip.
Although they do it for safety.. but isn't it sooo poor thing to be tied the whole day?? so my SIL keep telling me never put bb in infant care lor.
When deal with infant care be careful also.. just in case.. Ihave a freind wanted to put bb at IFC at first and place $1000 deposit ( I think) but later change her mind decide to engage nanny. and she has great difficulty getting refund from the IFC, she even have to threathen to do to CASE and small claim court etc..
Dunno la.. maybe she suay suay kenan the no good IFC.
Anyway do consider seriously.
Just my 5 cent worth of thoughts and some hear-say info along the way...

wah...the IFC that your SIL's sister works at sounds scary. Which one izzit? Haha, just want to kay-po, just in case it's the same one I made appointment with to visit them this coming Sat.
Re:Nanny vs MIL
Did think of it, but I'm really at a lost at the option. Coz after talking to my MIL who's still working, she's agreeable to take care of bb. So we thought,"Great! I can resume work soon enough" But just found out that she's waiting to work till November then can take care of him. So like abit redundant lor... unless we wait till November and I resume work in December (which was what was arranged with my company before I gave birth). I understand from my mum that nannies usually look for the long-term babysitting, so in my case, such short term cases might not be wise. Also not good for baby to keep changing caregiver.

Mamachan,
Heehee! Look closely....Ethan is using his hands to support himself. He toppled soon after the pics were taken. His expressions were so funny after he toppled to his side! Too bad I didn't capture that cos I was trying to "rescue" him. Haahaa!
Flo,
I will check my mail & revert to u soon.

I'm intending to put my boy in infant care after I get a job. Appreciate if you can let me know the infant care so I know which to avoid. Thanks!
Today is so tiring. Went for job interview. Then my boy, like knew that I'm going out for interview, last night woke up every hr from 1.30am! So tiring! Previously he only woke up at 4am or 5am. Then sleep till 7.30am when my hb will feed him. Last night, he was like crazy, cry and cry and kept waking me up!

Haha! Yah I know what you mean about hoping our bbs can start walking soon. I told my friends that the moment they see me wear track shoes more often means my boy can walk!!! hahaha then we'll spend more time running after them and making sure they stay out of harm's way.

Hi Mongs & Tracy,
Pretty gals! I have the same pillow case & the same tee for Cephas! Pillow case came with the cot I bought at the Baby Hyperstore
Hi all,
As promised, his 1st swim photos. On top of that, managed to catch him holding his bottle on photos.
Drinking my milk to keep warm in the cold water
Taking a break before my next dip
Holding my bottle
I'm a big boy now

mamachan /SSF,
He was 5mths & 1+week when I took these pics. Sometimes I do wish he will grow up quickly & be independent. But when I see my friends chasing after their toddlers, we just wish our little ones will guai guai sit in the prams. U know what i mean...
SSF,
Any idea where else sells System 4? I hardly go PP nowadays. Is it safe for breastfeeding? The rate my hair is dropping, I tink I will be as botak as my boy, man!
sysac,
Wow! Cephas is using the big bottle! How much is he drinking now? I m still using the 4oz bottle for my EBM but I will try to fill it up to the top.

Re: maid
I have a Filipino maid. Coincidentally the day she arrived at my house, my water bag burst the very night! Well, she is pretty ok with taking care of baby as she has a 2 year old herself and has taken care of another bb with her previous employer back home. However, I feel that she has this superiority complex over me with regards to taking care of bb, especially during the first 2 mths. Admittedly, I was a klutz and panic easily. But I decided to make it a point to take care of bb the whole time and got my mom to help babysit when I went back to work. She is now only helping out but main caregiver is my mom. I know I am pretty insecure, scared hat bb will like maid over mommy. Also, can't really trust them 100%.
*hiaz... just now bb cry like mad when I tried to put him to sleep. But immediately calmed down when my mom carried him. So disappointed you know, everyday I will be rushing back home while facing so much stress at work, just so that I can put him to bed but realise it is getting more and more difficult. He also doesn;t seem to be particularly excited when see me.
I think it is still best to be a SAHM where you can truly bring up bb the way you want. I mean I used to be able to make him fall asleep on his own during my maternity leave but nowadays its impossible without rocking him for at least 30 mins to an hour as my mom has been doing that.
Re: blender
So far only used it to blend apple juice and pear juice. It's ok, I mean I don't have other blenders to compare so dun really know.
sl,
aiyah! Probably she drinks a lot more when she latches on, so no worries for you. My boy really drinks little lor cos he's on total FM.
Re: vitamins
any mommies giving vitamins to bb? My mom suggest to try some vitamin that can supposedly help increase appetite. I am sceptical of it. Better ask ped first.

Hi Mummies,
Am my first time in this thread. Was introduced to this forum by Clare (we are colleagues from sister co n share the same "expresso" room) last month and got hooked on it. Just a little intro of myself, my gal (Melody) was born on 15 Dec 05, 5 days ahead of my EDD)....and yes she's my first born.
Since you gals are on the topic of solid food...just to check, do you juz give your bb the plain cereal or do you mixed with veg/fruits? I started introducing Heinz first rice cereal to Mel when she was 4 1/2 mths. She enjoyed it very much initially (and would scream if she didn't have enough). But lose interest after a few weeks. I then tried to give her healthytimes organic brown rice cereal but she would spit out (machean like taking medicine!!!). In fact, she's drinking much lesser as well. She's still on TBF. Since birth she normally drink 4oz every 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. But lately she can stretch her interval to as long as 4-5hr in the day. She's getting very distracted, once she's over her initial hunger pant, she would turn her head n look around her or start "talking" to you....sometimes can take as long as an hr to finish 4oz of milk...can doze off...zzz. Do you guys have the same experience? Notice that most of your bb are very regular when it comes to feeding time. Mel is very unpredictable, sometimes she drink so little in the day and at night she can have 4oz very 2 hr...storing her milk juz like a camel!!!! But so far, her weight gain is okie, so am not too bothered yet.

still have not decided if want to buy or not.

Morning mummies!!
Hi Florence,
Welcome to this thread! AM sure u will feel right a home in no time as the mummies here very are all very friendly!! = )
Re Leap pad system & Extra books
I realised there are quite a few different book titles so to minimise Wenyl having to check with supplier for every single book, probably we can do up alist of our orders including the titles we want so that at the end of the BP (or when Wenyl feels its time to close), Wenyl can just bring the whole list to the supplier and get whatever she can? Just my suggestion. = )

I realised there are quite a few different book titles so to minimise Wenyl having to check with supplier for every single book, probably we can do up alist of our orders including the titles we want so that at the end of the BP (or when Wenyl feels its time to close), Wenyl can just bring the whole list to the supplier and get whatever she can? Just my suggestion. = )

Good morning to all mummies
Seems all u mummies start ur bb with cereal..hheee.I still haven leh, but intend to start Christabel on cereal soon.
Joanna, I see James is taking Healthy Times Brown Rice. Yestersday went NTUC buy Healthy Times Brown rice can teach me how to start. Or any mummies and teach this blur sotong inexperience first time mum.
My gal is on TBF...so I intend to start the cereal mix with EBM. Can teach me how to prepare. Yestersday my mum ask me how to prepare..huh...I also dun know leh.
1) how many tablespoon of cereal for a start?
2) How to mix with EBM? Do I warm the EBM like how we warm the EBM to feed babies? Cause when we prepare the cereal for adult, eg:'super' brand cereal, the water need to be boiling hot)...
3) How much EM to mix with 1 table spoon of cereal?

Hi Ling Ling,
Altho baby James is my no.2, I am also rather sotong when it comes to starting him on cereals...sigh..cos hor...last time...all these done by my MIL....but now we have moved out on our own and as such, can only depend on ourselves and the maid...
What I had done was to let him try one tablespoon mixed with warm water initially....and when I saw that he took a keen interest in eating...I told my maid to mix 1 tablespoonful with EBM...what I do is to agar agar...put a bit of warmed EBM (NOT hot...if not BM loses its nutrients) and start mixing and keep adding BM till the cereal looks smooth enuf for him to take....then the balance milk I will keep in the warmer and feed after his cereal...
But hor...I also dunno how many tablespoonfuls to feed James leh cos it doesn't state on the box...so...any other mummies....pls help...
