Hi to all,

At how many months can bb sit on a walker? My girl is 4 months old and her legs are so strong. Can feel the pain when she kicks me, usually when i let her sit on my lap she struggle and wanna stand up.
So hubby and i were contemplating whether to get her a walker..

i totally agree w u man! i lurve bb ger clothes!! can buy cute hat and hair clips some more! lol...

ladies
i was at taka bb fair yesterday (yes, i couldn't wait till the weekend) Managed to get lots of clothes n other bb supplies! so shiok! love shopping for Leo!! also bot the avent disposable milk bags n accompanying feeding system. tried expressing n storing into the milk bags aledy, quite messy cos i not used to it yet... one of the bags was leaking!! sickening!! lost some precious BM!
 
fussiecat,

When you store your milk in the milk bags, do remember to let the air out when you tie the bags. So when frozen it will not explore and leak when thaw. You might want to double bag your milk just in case.
 
Hi Irene,

I pay $10 for the rental fee for 1 wk. Then i will also need to pay the deposit. The deposit is the price of the carrier so it depends which model u choose fm the website. I choose the normal one so in total i pay $168 inclusive of the $10 rental fees.

If she is giving u a new piece to try (HSe run out of her 2nd hand pcs), u may just keep the carrier if u decided to purchase and no deposit will be refunded. Otherwise u just return her the carrier and get back yr deposit.

You can hv the col and the type of carrier in

RE: Taka Baby Fair
When will the fair end? Really busy this period..hope i can go & shop till i drop for my bb Ivec..Hee

booties
i realise a lot of the older generation (including my mom) always insist that babies are cold, i guess it really depends on yr baby. older aunties are always stopping me to ask why she's not wearing hat and booties when i go out. i stopped putting socks/booties on K at abt 1.5-2mths. nowadays i just bring along a light blanket wherever i go so i can cover her if the aircon is v strong. books always say you should dress your baby the same way you would dress, i think this is particularly relevant for our weather, why should the baby be all bundled up when i myself am wearing slippers and tank top??

milk storage bags
i'm using the gerber ones, they are very good, they have a ziplock top, never had a leak before. a bit more costly but they are 20% off now at taka.

walker/activity station
i think you can put yr bb in these as long as s/he can hold his/her head up quite well.
 
fussiecat,

I use rubber band to tie the bags. So far so good. I normally keep max 200ml in 1 bag so when they are frozen, there is still space to expand.
 
Angelin's Baby & Child Clinic
Any woodlands mummies bring your BB to this clinic? Any comments? Looking for a PD in wlands area.
 
hello mummies

I need some advice. I have a 2-month old baby. He spends most of his time sleeping. He wakes up at about 6 am for the morning feed. Then he goes to sleep for onr or two hours. After that, I would feed and shower him. At about 10 am, he's sleepy again. He would wake up two hours later for a feed then falling asleep again. I have to wake him up at about 4 pm because I don't want to disrupt his bedtime which is usually between 6 to 7 pm. Is it normal?
 
like to join u gals blogging....babyship.blogspot.com

Btw gals working, wanna ask if u freeze the milk u pump at work when u come home or juz use up within 48 hrs? Coz I latch during nites and weekend
 
missk, let your bb slp.. dont wake him up just for feed. read before is no good for the bb, if just wake him up during half way of his slp. there's a myth, the more bb slp they grow faster.
 
Tracy,
you have a beautiful girl, she looks like daddy or mummy?

Bebe,
I express in office too. normally this milk will be consumed the next day when i am at work. if cant finish, it will go up to freezer when its 48hrs. Sometimes, i will stretch till 3rd day then trsf to freezer. My chiller is rather cold, so i think shd be fine. so far so gd...

Re: Baby cries at nite
Does anyone's bb often cry at nite b4 bed time? L has been crying on most nites during bed time, and thereafter, he will fall asleep. why huh? anyone experience or hear abt such? MIL said some bbs are like tat!
 
Hi Moms...

Anyone started giving your babies brown rice? Issit what it's called? or brown cereals?
Anyway, i got fren who told me she started her son with that when he was 4 months old?

Any advice?
 
Tiffany,

Ya, my girl too... Cries before she sleeps at night. She will be playing till she gets tired, yawn a few times and I'll put her into her sling but she will whine or cry for a while. After that she will sleep...

Crying makes them sleep better? I wonder why too..
 
Hi all, will like to close the BP by this weekend, still waiting for Rach and preciousbabe's response... hope you all dont mind that I close it b4 reaching 20 sets, cos heard that the March mummies will not be joining us for this... do let me know if you guys still want to wait?

Tiffany, Isaac cries everytime he wants to slp.. so is normal i guess. I guess like what Jade says crying makes them sleep better.

sometimes i feel is Isaac dont want to slp but he has no choice coz' tired hahaha!!! so he will whine until he has no choice but slp. but nowadays i can est his timing so i will try to pat him and sing to him till he slp but still he will still cry for awhile.
 
Jade/Mom_Yam,
Oh...ur darlings also so manja... I feel so tired lei, always have to rock and pacify him until he sleeps. not too sure how ur baby cry? mild or fierce? L very fierce, sometimes i wonder isit he feeling discomfort or wat? btw... does ur bb sleep thru after the cry? Thank god L does after tat. now 4mths liao, can start to relax abit, hb talk abt 2nd child liao... *faint*
expressing milk is so tiring..... counting down to 6th mth!
 
Tiffany,

Ya, my girl, Jamie sleeps thru after her 'tantrums' hehe~

Or maybe you can observe what helps your bb sleep better.

My girl likes to play with her hankerchief, so sometimes in order to end her crying, i'll give her the hanky and she'll snuggle her face into the hanky, hold it close to her face and very soon she sleep.
 
Tiffany, my bb is fierce!!! esp if he dont get the rock feeling he wants. my advice take turn lor, or esle u will go crazy. For my case, is me and my maid take turn coz' my hb only kws how to play but dunno how to pacify him haha!

Isaac will sleeps thru till 6.30am sharp. Hiaz better than my alarm clock. Dont worry he is not discomfort, just that Lucas is use to the rock and pacify he gets it every night so he just want it to be in his way. My frd was teaching me just let him cry and when he gets tired he will slp. But for me, i feel pitch and heartache when he does that esp tears flowing so i will choose to rock & sing song to him.
 
i notice recently that when Sherlene just fall asleep, she will make noise also. Not crying but like "singing". she also likes to use the hanky to rub her face.

anyone here baby still have rashes on the face? I've tried a lot of methods, but still have leh. how ah?
 
Jade,
U are lucky. ur gal will end her cry with the magic hanky! L also loves playing with hanky, but it doesnt help when i gave it to him. still exploring wat he wants....

Mom_Yam,
sama sama, hb only knows how to play with him, duno how to pacify la. getting my "New" maid in this weekend, keep my fingers crossed again. Hopefully not a prob child again. L's temper so hot, dun think i can let the maid handle him lei... scare the maid cant take it, throw L on the floor. have to observe her for some time 1st.

Ya, last nite, duno wat he wants.. put him on my bed and 'complaint' to him.. "mummy very tired lei, wat do u want? blah blah blah... he eventually stopped crying. after awhile, he knocked out totally.. think he too tired fm the cry liao. In the day.. he dun sleep much, just 15-30mins, wake up liao... perhaps, over-exert and tired.
 
Hunniepot,
I want to order your flash cards.

Can you give me an example of
Step One A (single words - continuation)?
 
Irene,
L used to have rash on his face too, after applying Steroid cream, prescribed by PD, no more liao... understand tat rash can be due to heat or milk rash. Is she on FM or BM?
 
irene
my Leo also got rash on face. it's a very common problem, comes and goes till one yr old. on my grandma's advice, i use hazeline snow. it works! just slather on bb's face after bath and before bed
happy.gif
my pd wanted to prescribe steroid cream but told me to continue with hazeline snow after i told her i'm using that. cheap and good!
 
Tiffany, ya the other method we use on him is that day time dont let him slp so much, keep playing with him. when it reach 7 pm he will cry for awhile then he will knock out till abt 11 pm drink milk and slp till 6.30am. but then i realise my bb is a day time bb, morn he will be very cheerful and play. Night time he will cry and slp. Grrgghhh

Irene, every feed or maybe say evertime u change yr bb diapers. I will use either piegon - hand / face wipes to clean or "Mustrea" face product to clean his face and hands.

Coz' now he has silver all over his face and milk at time.. so these rashes will appear on his face.

Yep. L also day time boy. Morning, veryvery gd mood, will smile & smile to me when he opens his eyes. nite lei...cry & cry to sleep. he can one moment cry until like he is in great pain, once he stop, its like nothing has happened... always tell hb, L "xiao" one!

Rach,
Hey.. welcome back. Nice holiday?? Got miss Ryan or not huh?
I was just telling hb, L like tat, at nite, confined at home liao loh. Sianzzz men!

Re:Taka Bb fair
read fm other thread... got lots of gd buys and disc. Toy brands like FP, Tiny love, sassy etc... today's papers 1 full page advertisement. Will try to go shop shop one of these days, sure very crowded one.

Hunnie
If u were to close at 6 sets, how much disc?
 
Race C
my pd was going to prescribe the steroid cream (actually 1% steroid only, but still!) but she told me to go ahead with hazeline snow since it is working. i'm not confortable with putting on steroid cream on my boy's face. he rubs his face occasionally only, so i reckon it's not itchy. sometimes he scratches his ears too, like a puppy! but no rashes around the ears... so i concluded he's just scratching for the sake of scratching!

RE Taka bb fair
i went crazy over the cheap clothes. cos my boy's outgrowing his clothes so fast, i'm running out of those every day clothes for him to wear.

Mom Yam and Tiffany
my boy also very cheerful during the day and sometimes will fuss like crazy in the evening before bed. My hubby is very good, he will carry him, rock him for a while , put him in the cot while he's still whimpering, then pat him, sayang him, whisper to him, then Leo will just coo for a while and fall asleep himself. My hubby told me we must train Leo to soothe himself to sleep.
 
Tiffany, i guess both Lucas & Isaac makes a good pal hahaha! both r equally xiao one... mine also sometimes cry halfway will laugh, but less than one min cry again.

Fussiecat..i envy u lei got such a good hb & bb.
 
Mom_Yam
haha.. we have sama sama character bb and sama sama hb. Ya, both Issac & Lucas can make great pal, if not careful, both can end up fighting. Think they have "Character" men!.
My hb, never bath L b4 lei... Such a great MCP!

Fussicat, i also admire u have such gd lou gong. Gd lou gong + gd bb = happy mommy. keke
 
irene/tiffany/race c - the rashed you talking abt is it ecezema? sigh...just made a trip to PD...J has ecezema over face and body. PD also prescribe steroid cream leh.

there are many reason for ecezema, could be allergic to certain type of food or weather. becasue of this, i am avoiding so many food - seafood, eggs, peanuts....almost vegetarian liao.

fussiecat - check behind the ear to see if have red red or not. my boy has it behind his ears.

hunniepot - as for teething, Amanda fuss before you can see the white substance in the gum or after? i dont see any white substance on J's gum but he is still fussy.

any mummies noticed a sudden drop/disinterest in your BB's nursing? recently J just suddenly developed magic stomach and dun seems to be hungry for 4-5 hrs leh. Put him near the breast and he will push away, give bottle will hit the bottle away.
 
Tiffany!!!!!!!! same same. my hb also never bath Isaac. He says he will only do so when Isaac kws how to bath himself.. grrggh!! dont worry we as mama will educate both boys be good frds and no fight fight. :p

Mel - is norm!!! Isaac has went thru the same phase: magic stomach, coz' they 'grew' older no need to "eat" so much. maybe now u may consider to intro solid food bit by bit. (has he reach 4 mths alr)?
 
Mel,
Yes.. the rash Lucas had was eczema. recently, his neck also has some reddish rash, i believe its heat rash.. i just apply anti-septic cream, and its cleared by next day.
 
mom_yam - yes he is 4 mths liao but i intend to TBF for 6 mths coz he has so many allegies leh....i afraid intro solid will affect his intake of BM and thus reduce the antibodies.

how long did Issac stay in such a phase? did he also seem to sleep lesser? last time J will have last feed at 9 and KO b4 10pm but now he refuse to nurse at 9 and eyes big big till 10pm....but mummy going to KO liao.
 
Mom_yam
are u still BFding? wat is the reason u intro solid so early? checked with PD, she recommend to intro at 5+mths lei...however, my mum told me not to start too late either, if not, will be difficult to wean off. Will need ur advise when i start to intro solid. i also supporter of EuYangSang product. btw... u add pao sheng to the brown rice?

Mel,
I also intend to TBF till 6th mths. Most likely, i will intro solid at 5+mths. PD said she will discuss with me next mth when Lucas go for 5th mth jab.
 
Tiffany, she on partial BM and FM.

fussiecat, we use hazeline snow also. but it still come and go.

we wipe her face very frequently also. cos scare it's milk rash. but she likes to put her hands in her mouth then the saliva will be on her face.
feel like tieing up her hands.. kekeke

mei lim, mine is on her face only, body dun have wor
 


Went to taka bb fair yesterday, so many toys I feel like buying for KJ. I might go there again for a second time.

KJ also lost a bit of interest in his milk. But I thought this was due to distraction in the surrounding. I could hardly feed him in taka nursing room because they got very pretty wall paper there. However, he will drink his milk in compasspoint nursing room because the wall are painted all white with nothing on it.
