(2006/04) April 2006 MTB


Hi ladies,

My girl dun like to sleep on her tummy. Every time I put her on her tummy, she will struggle to crawl or to raise her head. After a while, she get frustrated and start to cry.
 
matchgal, i also bought the babysafe mattress but my $$ went down the drain coz' this little boy INSIST sleeping next to me and up my hub slp against the wall just in case "crash" him up. now i'm so regret i should have bought a king size bed instead hahaa!

Tracy, my little rascal will need us to pat and rock him to slp and must carry him until he is willing to slp before i'm able to put him down next to me and latch him on till his total knock out and put him on his tummy... WOW looking at my own words i alr feel very tired haha. If i put him straight on his tummy he will WAIL loudly. But i kw my pil simply disapprove the idea that i let him slp on his tummy, but see his head round round they keep quiet :p

Koalarie! my baby is facing exactly like yrs too.
My little boy has so much expression when he slp, but whenever he cry got no tears lei.

I feel so sad got to work cant be with him, missing him so badly. sometimes i will laugh at myself thinking of his cute expression, thk my colleague prob thk i "sort" alr
 
Hunniepot, is so nice to hear that your friend manage to get pregnant not long after the lost.

By the way, do your babies willing to sit at a place for long? I bought a very nice cushion high chair for him to sit (Since he cant fit in the Bumbo) but he is only willing to sit there less than 20 mins. then he wants pple to carry him, wonder is there anything i can do to make him sit on it longer so we can play with him. If carry him i cant play with him much lei.
 
Tracy,
my gal same as ur's....will get frustrated and start to cry when i put on her on tummy...
headache now, (as hunniepot mentioned, regretted big time, not traine her to put on tummy since new born)
My SIL keep blaming us say why never let bb sleep on tummy. cos her son like to sleep on tummy...and have a round head.
 
hunniepot - i am interested in the flash card class but i dun have any flashcard leh. Can i join? where and what type of flashcard should i buy?

As the instructor will bring his own, but recommended that you practise flash cards on him after learning the proper way.. you can choose to buy from him or you can purchase your own from elsewhere..

momyam

Yeah! She has been trying and trying since her miscarriage, so glad that she is successful this time round.. quite sad initially, cos both of us got married in the same month, got pregnant at almost the same time...
 
Hunniepot,

My dear friend who was pregnant b4 me then later got to abort bb as bb no heartbeat later, still trying.

I'm crossing my fingers and hope to hear from her soon too.. she's been trying and seeing the chinese physician at zhong hua as well.

Hanson is also full of expresssions when he sleeps. Sometimes smile, sometimes pout. But the <u>bean sprout pillow</u> really helped. whenever his startle reflex comes on, he not so scared, so continue to sleep. btw, i also give him pacifier. so, when he wake on from shock, his hand will touch the bean sprout pillow, then he will suck on the tu tu and continue to sleep...

The instructor has a private talk at SPH right after the flash cards session so he wont be able to make it to woodlands, as my place is just across the road from SPH.

As for the credentials, ok.. let me dig out the chinese newspaper article on him and let me try to translate to English.. but will take some time??

elle

Can of course
happy.gif
Mymum will be the one educating my girl, so she will be ard as well.. hmm.. the instructor mentioned that there is no need to bring bb along, but will be good if you can do so...
 
any mummy here express milk while on 3-5 days oversea biz trip?

any idea how to transport frozen EBM back? Flt time is abt 5 hrs so by time reach sg; would have defrosted already and cannot re-freeze again.
 
Sorry hunniepot. Hope u can arr another session for us as me n mandy can only make it in afternoon. Hear from ya abt the course soon
 
Gals, I brought my Brendon for a trial on the Bumbo and guess what...
After I put him on, his thighs got stuck. The look is as if his thighs machiam 'wrapped dumplings' aka bao ba-jang!!!
kao_laugh.gif

Very funny and he looked so confused...
kao_laugh.gif


Verdict...Bumbo no go for me but I would love to let him try again and take a photo just so to remember the funny scenario.
 
Amy, hahaha did you really should take some photo of that moment coz' it will be so cute? Mine too kanna stuck and we have "pull" his leg out from the Bumbo.. i manage to take some photo of him sitting on it, he look so confuse and funny! But after that he got petty coz' I keep laughing at him. :p bad mama har.

Nana, your baby is so good! i try to snap photo of him sitting on car seat but failed.. Sob but my car seat as extra cushion for bb before they are one. so he dont sink in, but he wont sit on it for long.

Hunniepot, ya i could understand is really tough. Share with you, i have a frd who is pregnant 3 mths before mine. But hers was stillborn and worst it was almost to her due date. She too cant be with me during my later pregnancy and unable to be happy for Isaac arrival. coz' will only make her remember hers.

However, i heard that she is pregnant again and i'm so worry for her health :s anyway, i'm very happy for her and super worry for her. We shall pray for your friend and mine that they will have a safety and smotth pregnancy ride this time ;)
 
opps!!! so sorry got duplication.. sorry!

Hunniepot: abt the flashcard at what age is the best to introduce it? I dont mind joining can give me more details? But i stay in pasir ris lei..
 
Gals, do u notice ur baby sometimes make funny pattern wif their mouth? My gal sometimes like twitch the mouth till look like cleft lips. Normal or not?
 
Gals

Admire all of u that your babies can sit in the bumbo. I tried to put Lucas on it, he screamed and lift his butt by making himself so straight and stiff. I had to pull him out from it and worst, his knees got stucked making him screamed even louder! It will be a waste if he cant sit in it. My bumbo is brand new!
 
hi gals,
Has any of your bb starts to turn over already?

My bb trying to turn over already and he had succeeded for his body and butt but unable to adjust his arms to the new position so they are stuck under his chest.. he is 14weeks now

Hi Mel_lim &amp; elle,

The instructor says no need to bring baby along, but it is good to bring along though
happy.gif


Regarding the newspaper article.. I only have the hard copy leh... let me try to translate the impt points later..

mom_yam

The newspaper article said as early as possible? Cos baby is able to absorb most things from age 0 to 3 years old..

Jasminetea

PM you liao

hunniepot,

Mel_Lim

Sorry my chinese is not very good, will try my best to pick up the more impt points in the article..

He is conversant in 4 languages, English, Mandarin, Malay and Japanese.

He has been to countries such as China, Indonesia, Malaysia to conduct courses for parents who are interested in using flash cards to stimulate their babies' right brain.

Our babies' brains are like a recorder at this point in time, they are able to imprint in their minds, what they have seen and heard around them.

He used flash cards on his daughter 19 years ago, when she was just a baby. Thus, at the age of 14 months, she was able to understand many English words, and was able to read story books, newspaper articles and magazines at the age of 2.

The article did not state his credentials though.. he did stress to me that the purpose of the course is to teach parents the right techniques on how to teach their babies..

Hope the above helps..

BTW the course is 45 mins..
 
Okies.. those on the list so far:

1. hunniepot
2. jasminetea
3. preciousbabe
4. mel_lim (how many of your friends are interested?)
5. elle?
6. mom_yam?
7. teenie (march MTB)
8. tiffany

Hunnie and mom_yam, good for your friends. They are pregnant now. Now must pray for a smooth pregnancy. I have a friend who is in her late thirties. She had still birth then and I was so heartbreak to see what she was going through. Guess the only thing we can do is to lend them listening ears or companionship when they need it.

Mom_yam...your boy so cute...lol...
kao_laugh.gif

Must try to get a pic again and show you how Brendon is on the Bumbo.
