<font color="ff6000">Positive Babies trial class</font>
hi everyone, ok i got details from Babies n Cream already. if we want a private trial class, it can only be on a weekday cos their weekends are all full up with other classes. otherwise, they have a class starting this friday (28 july) at 11 - 11.45am. max capacity for each class is 10 babies (+ 1 adult per baby). so far, they told me only 2 ppl have registered for this fri's class so there are still 8 slots for anyone who is interested (i'm planning to go down for this one).

otherwise, they have another class on sunday at 3pm, with 5 slots available.

whichever class you might be interested in, you have to call up and register 1st. cost of trial class is $26.25.

i don't mind organising the registration for this fri's class, so if you'd like to go, pls let me know

those chubby babies are real cute!!

<font color="ff6000">hunniepot</font>
is that the FP bouncer with calming vibrations? that baby looks quite happy sitting in it
happy.gif
i'm thinking of getting one but wonder if i should cos i already have the FP swing but my girl doesn't really like it. my reasoning is that i think she'll like the vibrations cos she likes car rides.

O.... me think mayb can make it for Sunday 3pm one. Where is the location huh? Who else wants to go on Sunday?? Need to ask hb first... dunno Xuanting wants or not.. scared later she made a fuss... =p
 
Evon,
RE: Red wordings
I asked Mr Gu that day after you left. He says Red has the longest wavelength so makes greater imprint on the brain. Use Red on white background for best effect for flashcards. When baby is older like 3 or 4, can use variations like blck on white or white on black.

If it's a page of text, don't use red. Like you say, will be goggy.

RE: Pi Xiu
so that's the thing ah? my mum has one, given by her friend. It's quite small... Height about 2cm, base about 3cm only. She puts it on the balcony ledge, facing outwards.

Re: Pi Xiu

Mine, i bought it as a package. Actually it all started with my HB who consulted the Fengshiu Master. Then we bought the whole package (1 big one for our home and 3 small ones for ourselves).

My bb do not wear the pi xiu like thoses pendants around the neck as it is quite heavy although very small. rather, we were told that we can put it at his bedside or if we go out juz bring it along, put in his bag.

Hi mommies,

my elder boi got stomach flu d past 2 days.
Me busy taking care of him......

Tiffany
<font color="0000ff">cutting hair on 4th month</font>
Actually, Hanson's hair was shaved when he was 100 days old. I think it was some traditional chinese believe...
embarrassed.gif

Anyway, i think baby's scalp is too soft for shaving at 1 month, so i wait till 100 days, which is around 3month plus.

Rach
i m a working mum too. I went back to work for about 1 month after my 2 months maternity leave. Now at home clearing the 3rd month maternity leave lor.

So if gg for d baby yoga class, weekends preferred, esp sat morning.

miu66, mel
<font color="0000ff">nursing apron</font>
bought this thing called yu gu (aka Fish bone) from those haberdasher's at People's Park to make the "curvy" part of the nursing apron. Anyway, here goes the material n cost:

1. Cloth: Japanese Cotton ($5/meter, u'll only need 1 meter, still got left over for me)
2. Fish Bone $0.70 1 psc
3. Rings (to adjust length) $0.10 a pair
4. Sewing $3 (from alteration/tailor)

I bought d cloth, went home to cut it, then bring it back to the alteration shop for sewing.
All in cost me less than $10.
The material is also softer than the one from hooters' hider, which i think is more suitable for our weather lor, else BB very hot in it mah.

I will show u gals if we meet up for BB yoga ok?

<font color="0000ff">word formatting</font>

Nanas
Wah i tot i make 3 tai mao bi already very Kiasu.
Your bb really hairy leh, can make 5 pens!!!!
r u sure they never substitute with someone else hair????? jus kidding.
lol.gif


I made 3 for Kor kor when he was 4 months: 1 pair for parents using camel bone and another 1 for BB himeself using Rhino bone. Cost me around $500, inclusive of the boxes to contain the pen. Now make another 3 for Hanson, cost me around $600. Price increase liao. Expensive leh.

hunniepot
<font color="0000ff">flash card</font>

still half past 6 about getting those cards.
u remember Mr. Gu says something to d effect that it's not whether how much bb learns/absorb. The purpose of showing the flash card to BB is to "discharge our duty as parents" by giving them what is best. There is no way to ensure that the BB absorbs/learns....

I spoke to HB about it n he laughed at me. Say i fitting into the mould of KIASU parent.....

Let me think about it again ok. BTW, when you closing the BP?

Mom_Yam
<font color="0000ff">baby carrier</font>
you are so lucky. The Egro carrier can't fit me at all. My body is too short lah, so even after adjusting the shoulder pads to the max, still got some space. So d weight is not evenly distributed. After i carry my elder boi (11kg) in it for about 1/2 hour, i got back ache leh....Haiz.
 
elle, ya i told the same thing to my hb and he says i over paranoid over my boy's growth. He added then am i saying that those kids during our time dont use right brain har.. Grrrghhh

Yup! i'm very lucky that the Egro suits me, and i can just carry him to slp while i do my stuffs. Just a thot maybe u can ask yr hb to carry yr boy using Egro, if not u wil hurt your back badly lei.
 
Flash Card
Just to share my view on why I am hesitating on the Flash Card. Aft the session, I chanced upon a book entitled "Einstein never used flash card". (God's will??)

Have not complete reading but I picked it up becoz its abt advocating "play" as the key ingredient in educating our children instead of all these enrichment devices or classes.

It talk abt <u>preserving a child's childhood instead of accelerating it.</u>It also explain how these accelerated learning actually stress the child and caused early anxiety.

As I see how parents shuffle from one enrichment class to another, thus tiring them and their child, I ask myself "Is this what is best for us?"

Or would I rather spend the time taking J out to the park or to the beach and use Nature's learning tools to teach him. As we collect pebbles along the beach, I am teaching him to count, as he falls from a park bench, he is learning abt gravity and velocity.

Hope this does not affect the BP further and I really appreciate Hunniepot for arranging all these but as a parent, we all need to decide for ourselves what is best for our child.
 
My hb and I have the same thinking as the book that mel lim's reading.

We believe that play is the key to learning. =p Yet, it is really time consuming to have somebody spending time with bb especially when both of us work. Thus, we are finding as much quality time as possible to spend with her during the weekends. =)

Yet, there is one thing I feel is important.

All children must learn to socialize.

Keeping children at home would eventually make him/her be a solitude. =p

So, occasionally letting the child join some programmes is good, but not too much.

I got a relative who has her programmes fully packed for the two sons.

I was hoping I wouldn't be like that. Most important is for the child to spend time with us and yet he/she get to know more friends around his/her age. = )
 
elle,

Will close the BP once all mummies are ok with the discount given once the nos are reached..

RE: Use of flash cards

Well, it is really up to all of you on whether to use these on your babies.. as for me, am going ahead with it cos i wld like to do as much as i can for my baby while i am still a SAHM , might not have that much time to do so once i go back into the workforce...

IMHO, there are many articles thats for or against different ways of bringing up our babies.. there are also many different opinions / comments flooding our way.. do we have to abide to everthing that we hear or read? Of course not.. just follow the way which u feel most comfortable with.. guess we will never know which method is best,there is no right or wrong way.. it is for us to trial and error on our part.. as each baby is different right?
 
my two cents worth.... i think all will mommies try their best for their babies and i think all of you are fabulous for just trying to think of ways to enrich your babies' lives, regardless of what method you choose!
happy.gif
two thumbs up!!

Re: Flashcards

I have the same thinking s hunniepot. Coz as a SAHM, got plenty of time wif my bb so muz schedule our time abit for various activities such as playing, learning, communicating, exercising n strolling. If not, worry my bb will get bored doing nothing at hm juz eat, sleep, play. As for flashcards, I am doing it to my gal 3x daily. My mentality is juz fulfil my responsibility of imparting knowledge to her n as to whether she absorbs anot doesn't really matter to me lor. Coz she can always learn later in school.

But my hubby tinks otherwise. He prefers our gal to have a childhood associated wif play only. Dun wan to intentionally intro her so much learning at such young age. He worrys my gal gets stressful. So there goes the picture flashcards which I intent to buy.
sad.gif
 
Good to hear that, bblim.

Agree with hunniepot tat different bbs different. Most impt thing's we all are great mommies and daddies giving the best to our beloved children.

I got a problem... Need some help.

Anybody started to feed your bb with bee guo mixed with fm/bm? Anyone???

My mom is feeding Xuanting like that since Monday. Xuanting managed to sleep from 11pm - 5.30am. But is this good method?

Her poo is more easy now.. all becoz of bee guo??

My mom scared she hungry and tries to feed her at every 4h interval.. but Xuanting too full n always cries... So how?? Give her only when she's hungry or what???

I almost argue with my mom on this.... Really felt like go and pick Xuanting up and bring her home.

Pls la.. I am the employer le. What if Xuanting sick how??? Or overeaten how??

Ahhhh...
 
BBLim, good for you!!! As for method of teaching bbs there's always different method and different bb has different ways to absorb information better. Some prefers thru playiing coz' their attention forcus is shorter than other bbs. whichever method is alright as long as bb is healthy i think that is more impt hor hee...

Hey, share the latest pic of my little boy.
472286.jpg
 
Paiseh.. a bit pissed off with her forcing my gal to eat.

If dun want means dun want lo. She kept saying if my gal later thin, dun blame her. Haiz.

Then becoz she quoted saying employee got to do jobs best for the employer one.. and so I a bit angry for her saying tat I am employing her lo.
 
bblim,
Great to hear tat ur girl is fine.

mom_yam
Issac so cheerful looking! Now they are more fun to play with huh....

evon,
overeating is not gd for her digestion. my boy has slept thru with only bm. last feed was 10.15pm... he can sleep thru till 8am.

There was one nite i latched on, cos he loves it, but he slept on my breast. so i prepared a bottle of 150ml ebm, to feed him b4 patting him to sleep, after drinking, he felt discomfort, crying and crying. also vomit the milk. think he has over-eaten. this is my experience lor.
 


Just sms my hb.. think my hb has a pt.. Bee guo where got nuitrients.... milk then got more nuitrients ma.

Bee guo, i think, is brown rice.
