U thinking of dont want maid liao ar? U have good maid lei...
(2006/04) April 2006 MTB
- Thread starter terrier
- Start date
Tiffany, if i put him in IFC then i have to do without maid lei. no $$ to keep both, i will be very the broke.
Actually i do a proper weigh, i see more pros then cons.
Coz' my in laws will spoil him silly, in the end of the day i will have hard time trying to educate him proper - like being poilte and patient.
Anyway, maid - dunno why put at my in law hse, everyday i hear neg things abt her lei.
like things done no clean enough... hmmm rock bb slp too much... got relative look for her (which i limit to once a week)..
then they see newspaper abt what and wat.. start to feel paranoid and scare. *Sigh*
Yesterday classic thing happen. My mil claims that she took her hand bag and open it.. my maid tells me she wants to take the hanger so she took the bag.
if u were me.. wiill u consider put Lucas in infant care?

Understand all these domestic issue is a real headache. We have to consider things like
1) how will ur MIL feel if u take issac away;
2) baby tend to fall sick;
3) trptn issue -to and fro IFC at stipulated timing
4) will issac be deprived of love if he spends whole day in IFC (Mommies who send their bb to IFC, dun shoot me hor, its just a thot)
U have to judge the situation. Will changing maid help?
I have the thot of sending L to IFC too, but hb dont agree.

finding the right caregiver (be it grandparents, maid, IFC or nanny) is such a headache for working moms. Count my blessings I don't have to worry about such issues. However, I do think about returning to work.....if I have 3 or 4 children, then I'll def. stay home. It'll be as costly or even more than my take-home pay to have 3 kids in IFC and I'll rather spend quality time with 3 kids.
Mom_yam,
tonight i sent u some IFC , u can go and check it out. Tiffany has a pt also lah there are cons, let me share w you when i m facing now.
1) bb will learn more things but must choose IFC that really love bb and willing to share their love. IFC shld also give bi-weekly report to you.
2) Since there are bbs over there , some teachers tend to compare the capability and activities of your child. Best enrol in IFC which has fewer bbs.
3) bb may be push to move to next level even they are not ready bcos it is the mth they suppose to do this and that
4) Depend in your work schedule. IFC has rigid timing and u hv to follow otherwise fine. U can choose IFC near work or home whichever is more convenient.
5)You will hv to take care of Issac when u pick him back and also need to managed his laundry and housework. IFC changes their clothes very often.
6)If u need to work late or work at night at home, bb will be very upset since he needs your company.
Currently , Kevan is happy at IFC bcos they play with them and now he has friends. Well currently only 3 bbies there so things are great. In Nov there are 3 more bbs enrolling so i hope by then he is more independent.
the only we found stress is every morning rush to send him as hubby start work earlier and rush to pick him by 7pm. When come home i will try to give him nap so that we can hv dinner. Noticed that after nap he will want to play and talk to you until he is shiok lor.
these are just my experience, other mummies may feel differently.

this afternoon, i went to visit him during his cereal time (lunch time). he bully teachers and throw tantrums. aiyo which he seldom do it at home. Sigh!
Another thing is he may learn bad habits while in IFC and u hv to correct right away. My boy learn to scream as other bb did tat so i scold him so hard that now he dare not.

mom_yam,
Problems always arise when we put bb under care of mil. Sometimes i see the way my pils handle the bb, sure one day spoilt. But it really depends how we educate them when we spend time with them. As what i shared earlier on, i dun expect my pils to teach her, i think parents should be the one educating them in the long run. They old folks can only provide the basic necessities. U know maslow's hierarchy of needs? They come in at the right bottom. And we got to reach for the top.
i heard same story from my brother too. His mil keep complaining about the maids he employed, so the maids change one after another, until the agency "blacklisted" him liao. Some old folks are just not satisfied and picky.

mom_yam,
Practice "one ear in, one ear out" haha.. that's what i do. I always tell myself really bobian, if were to let pils take care of bb, i got to bear with everything. Of course i told hubby already, if they are nasty, i will be nasty too. End of the day, i am the mother, and what i say counts. Sounds fierce ya? haha..
ifc got its problem... pros and cons.. so got to consider again lor.

thanks for the advice abt the food jars.

i think twinklestarry mentioned alot of points related to IFC that i agree. just to share my own view: we are currently very happy with our IFC, the caregivers are such nice people and my boy kicked alot of bad habits ever since we put him there. he became more manageable and less fussy. every time i go pick him up after work, he's having fun
don't have the prob tiffany raised abt bb not having enuff love. we shower him with lots of attn when we go home, and he knows who his daddy and mommy are
there is a fixed ratio for all IFC, cannot have too many babies. i think the max is 1 caregiver: 3 babies.
for me, i didn't have a choice, both side parents unable to take care, so we went for IFC instead of maid (we not comfy with another person in the house). BUT BUT BUT! having said all that, i think it's all up to individual... you should go visit the places to see if you like the environment.

mom yam,
like fussiecat i also dun hv a choice and hb dun really like to be responsible for another person activity when we hv a newborn to cope with.
normally the ratio is 1:3 but some IFC does hv less or more. I personally chose to visit them on wkday than Sat bcos there are more bbies then. Beside that i can see the bbies reaction which will give me a better comfort. Currently mine is at kembangan. later tonight i give u those that i had visited in the East but i did not enrol bcos i found tis one nearer to home and cheaper.
Generally my boy is happy but he love to bully teachers to let him drink his milk early and he know he is on mild diet.

twinkle / fussiecat / kk / tiffany,
*Hugzzzzzz* thank you so so so so much!!!
i would love to put him in IFC, then like what Tiffany says is like u give someone somehting sweet & nice.. next moment u rob the happines away from them.
Tiffany, the cons u mentioned i did harbour the thot that was why i employ maid to take care and put at my in law place.
i never had grandparental love, so i wanted isaac to have one that was why i put him with them instead of IFC. then again a lot of things happen and honest i'm quite sick hearing..
"aiyo you kw who and who's maid she do wat and what.. dunno yrs will a not"
if i ensure says wont la.. the reply will be "aiyo we cannot see so we wont kw"
I believe now IFC is not so bad coz' i have colleague put her bb there and it seems to be very good. that is why i have that thot.
i'm not expecting my pil to "educate" my son, but least they should do is DONT purposely let my son play with fan, bread..etcs
due to the 'space' in their shop.. my son has pick up the habit of being carried all the time. i have such a tough time during weekend coz' he refuse to "crawl", "sit" nor play coz' he wants to be carried.
that is why i'm so stuck and feeling very down. my hb wants the maid instead of IFC coz' he didnt want to upset his parents.
thk i will see and source for IFC then decide. i feel so confuse that left also wrong.. right also wrong. if send my maid off, i will be upset coz' she is really a extra pair of hands to me.
Twinkle, thanks in advance for the information.. *Gam Xie*
i'm really happy to see that most mommies putting bb in IFC have very good experience.. that ease my mind even more. also on the other hand i must try to let go and "trust" my maid again.

frequent waking in sleep crying
Hi gals, are u experiencing frequent waking of bb in her sleep crying? Mine has been doing that for the past week. Practically every hr or 2 will wake n cry. The moment I carry her and she finds her thumb, suck suck and goes back to bed. I really dunno wat to do. So tired for waking mum. Is she teething or wat? She isn't hungry as I tried once to make her fm thinking my bm going low but she juz sip 2 mouthful and spit out.
What to do with thumb sucking? Not sure if I asked u gals before.

babe,
my gal also sucks her fingers in her sleep, and she does sometimes make a 'crying sound'. She's probably dreaming and frightened by something or some thought. But, she did not cry and I just ignore her. Keziah may be having bad dreams and needs comfort. Has she been over-excited just before bedtime?
No, I'm not yet subsituting milk with cereal or such. The qty I feed is still not substantial to constitute a meal.YY will still have her milk feed 1/2 - 1 hr after her cereal or puree.
These few days, I'm only feeding her once a day and it's either banana or papaya and more water cos she's having constipation. Today, she poo poo several times, but everytime is only a 20c-50c size. It's rather painful for her to squeeze out, her underneath all red and she will cry a bit after each poo. Poor thing.

Baby food Jar
Hi Fussycat, I am currently feeding my son jarred food (Earth's Best Organic) and they don't have preservatives, fillers, etc. Very pure, like wat miu66 wrote. I find it more convenient to feed jar food since I am not confident how clean I am in preparing his food, and also, it's actually cheaper than me going to buy the organic food and cook it myself (it cost around 40cents per jar in the US). I also got no time lah
Infant Care
btw, Fussycat, can I check which IFC does you son goes to? I will be returning back to Singapore and to work on 1 Apr 07, and really worried about my son's daily care since I also don't have the option of our parents looking after him. If yours is nearby, maybe will consider.
Anyone here enroll their baby with any IFC in the city area? or any around Seng Kang area? Would appreciate it if someone can give me feedback on the IFC around these areas. Thanks in advance!
thumb sucking
Babyship, it's ok that Keziah suck her thumb to sleep. She's self soothing... she could be teething, that's why she's waking up so often. Can ask your pd at the next visit. Hang in there, it will pass! (at least that's what I am hoping for Shawn! *rolled eyes*)

chenoa,
Dat day u were asking abt how's the baby zucchini puree I made. My answer: Terrible. My advice to all is better dun try it. Dunno izit the problem lies with me or the zucchini. The puree tasted bitter and smelled green n raw like old cucumber.
mom_yam & chenoa,
Re: Sweet Peas puree
Tried making yesterday. Chenoa, u are right. The seeds are so little dat can't even use the blender to puree. In the end, I added carrot in but still cannot blend. So no choice, I mashed n grinded them manually. How did you all manage to grind the 'casings/shells' of the seeds? I mean those we have in red beans n green beans. I grinded very long n only managed to break them into smaller pieces but not fine at all ler.
Btw my gal pooed 3 times after eating the peas/carrots puree, 5 times in total today.*Faint*
Babe,
Re: frequent waking in sleep crying
Aiyo, my gal too. Every nite, I will be awaken by her cries 2-3 times then will have to carry her to n fro betw my bed n her cot. Sometimes to nurse her and sometimes juz bcoz she wants to sleep with us. Very tiring indeed. Dats y I told my hubby dat Singapore has got herself another panda.

Re: Cereal Feeding
So gek sim. My R was taking it well at the beginning so I progressively increased until 4 n half scoops n more gooey of coz. But 2/3 weeks ago, she started rejecting it so I gradually reduced until 2 scoops she still unable to finish. And last fri I accidentally added too much BM so I put in 4 scoops of cereal to thicken. But still very watery hor. Who noes R finished almost all ler. I became confused now. Y huh?

Su, I sure hope it's a passing phase. If not dunno how to tahan, sometimes can wake up 5 times a night till I wonder if I even sleep. Gave up pulling out her thumb sometimes but just worry that her skin peel and teeth wont grow nicely.
Chenoa, u tried prune juice? Heard it helps. If ur gal still on bm shld be ok. Just let her drink more water.
Face rash- allergic reaction?
Dunno izzit due to her cereal. Hope not allergic reaction. She's been having these little bums on her cheeks underneath skin. Like milk rash like that though not red and actually not very obvious. She's drooling alot though. Anyway what constitutes allergic reaction to food?

Re: Frequently wake up crying at night
XT too frequently wakes up. Think tix's normal. My mom said now bb is more sensitive to things she does in the daytime or while awake and so she said better dun let her play too hard much few hours before she sleeps.
But we just can't help it especially when weekends come as it's only time we really've to bond with her. N so over the weekends, I become panda bear.
Re: Face rash allegeric reaction
Babe,
My mom told me the food may react to bb's skin n so after food must clean the bb's face.

bblim,
i think it is the bb preference and they do change often. i face the same problem as 1st wk when i feed him, it was watery and he luv it. Then when i ask IFC to feed him they thicken along the way since he is hungry. Last wkend when i made watery for him he fuss and fuss aiyo but still eat lah. Yday i went to IFC during his lunchtime and see how they do it now i know why.
He like it gooey and w/o adding FM into it.

re: night waking. same here, over the past 1.5mths, there has only been 1 night where K slept right through!! other than that, she's been waking up at least 3 times, sometimes up to 5 times. at first i thought the waking was due to her rolling over and getting upset but lately i realise that she just cries in her sleep. dunno if it's bad dreams or what. she's been sleeping in her own room since birth but because of all this waking, we decided to put her to sleep in our room in her playpen cot (too tiring for me to keep walking back and forth!) but in the end, after i have woken up abt 2 times, i get lazy and just bring her to our bed to sleep
sigh...hope i'm not cultivating any bad habits!

Night wakings
woh, tell me about night wakings... Shawn has now turn 6 months old and for the past 6 months, he has never sleep through and it's a great night when he just get up 3 times *rolled eyes*.
anyway, according to what i read, babies night time sleep can be affected in several ways. It could be teething, or they are picking up new skills, or due to their day time sleep (too much or too little).
Actually Babe, you really needn't worry so much about thumb sucking. Shawn is sucking his thumb perpetually (he's teething) and the skin on his thumb is still intact
and pd wrote that thumb sucking only becomes a problem for kids older than age 4. Before that, it's not really a problem for teeth formation.
Allergy to food - when there's diaarhoea, excessive fussiness and rashes... don't think those you described are allergy to food...

hi mommies!
Me back from 4D3N HK trip....machiam going to die liao. Coz my BB soooooo clingy to me. Refused to let Grandpa and Grandma carry during the trip. Even his Daddy he also dun really want. I had to piggyback him so that I can have a quick meal. When I take a quick shower, I have to keep calling out to him coz he tot I disappeared n need to hear my voice to re-assure him. Even when I dry my hair in the bathroom, I need to pay peekaboo with him while HB carry him.
Basically, I cannot be out of sight at all. I tell myself - No more holidays for J.
He also had a new experience in HK - rolling down the bed. Fortunately the floor is carpeted so no major damage.
On the other hand, I had a good time in Disneyland and our holiday ended with a wonderful display of fireworks right in front of our hotel window as it is National Day in Hk.
Oh yeah....one more thing....J stood for a few sec on his own while holding against the suitcase. Fortunately I had my camera and took a shot of it.
cheono - can help to update for J? 7.9kg @ 6th mth. Mum is WFHM.

night wakings
i oso noticed some difference in my boy's sleep pattern this past week. he will sometimes give out a cry and go back to sleep. sometimes he will continue crying and in the end, we have to pick up and rock him. but so far, it's limited to the first few hrs of his night sleep (from 9pm-12am). The rest of the night he sleep thru. can't be due to teething cos he teeth long ago liao...
infant care
Su, I send my boy to House of Kids at Dedap Rd. It's along Yio Chu Kang rd, just outside Sengkang where i live. It's very convenient for me cos it's along the way to work. i think they got website...

wow, that's impressive!! i haven't tried but i don't think my girl can really support herself by herself!!!
<font color="ff6000">porridge</font>
mommies who have made porridge - do you just cook the rice with plain water or do you add any chicken or veg broth? i'm wondering if i just make it with water and some carrots and broccoli, won't it be veyr plain?

miu66, i dump everything in a pot or slow cooker.
rice, carrot, spinach, lean pork or chicken (breast meat) or fish). then i leave it till it soft soft. i will still grid it with the wooden stick before feeding my son.
Yet to try broccoli which planning to do so soon.
Or you can use chicken (breast meat) or veg broth then boil rice to make it porridge.
I'm planning to wash very super clean the Ikan bilis and let them suntan. Then fry with no oil just to make sure is super dry and final step Grid them into pcs.
For that you can add a dash to porridge after cooking. some mothers will give some moms wont due to a lot of factors.
If you do so.. please go to medical hall buy the ikan bilis ask for no bones ones..

chenoa/ mom_yam,
No lar. Of coz I din give any of the both. I am juz quoting red beans n green beans for ref. In case u all dun get what I mean by the 'casings/ shells' of the seeds. Sorry, I am abit slow ler. Had read the above postings but still dunno how u manage to grind the shells of the peas until very fine ler.
Chenoa,
I did remove the skin ler. But it still taste bitter. My SIL told me shld rub both ends against the pieces I cut off. This helps to remove the bitterness. Mayb u can try this method and share wif us if got chance.

bblim,
my pea puree, due the pods, got more fibres which is more difficult to blend. Therefore, I can see the fibres but I don't think I have a problem with the 'skin' of the seeds. To get finer texture is to add more water, more volume and puree longer. But too much water later become pea juice liao loh.....
Zucchini, rub the ends like the cucumber? Maybe it helps.

Will brown rice stunt my children's growth?
Q: My family switched to a diet of brown rice a year ago. Recently, i heard from a source that brown rice actually contains an agent that stunts growth & therefore shld not be given to young children until they are 21. My children are aged 8 & 10. My son is rather short for his age. How true is the report? Can young children take brown rice? Pls advise.
A: Brown rice is the whole grain of rice with only the inedible outer husk removed. Compared with white rice, brown rice has approx 1.5kg of fibre per half cup, which is about three times the fibre of white rice.
Brown rice also provides us with higher contents of B vitamins and minerals.
Brown rice is not harmful for growing children. However, over-consumption can lead to feelings of bloatedness, due to its high fibre content. This is becos fibre adds bulk to our diet and hence promotes a sense of satiety.
As such, young children may have no room in their stomachs for other nutritious foods, thus leading to poor weight gain if they are unable to consume sufficient energy and nutrients to meet their growing needs.
Excessive fibre intake may also lower the absorption of certain minerals, such as zinc, iron, magnesium and calcium, all of which are important nutrients for general growth and body functioning.
Phytate, which is present in whole grain foods, such as brown rice, reduces zinc and iron absorption too. Therefore you may want to ensure that your child consumes a balanced diet, including meat, fish and chicken, as these are rich sources of zinc and iron, as well as diary products, for adequate calcium intake.
