Found a link on MMR from US CDC.

The "risks" part sounds a bit scary though there's no mention about autism.</font>

Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for writing to the Cut Waste Panel. The agency's reply to your suggestion is appended. Please contact us or the officer below if we can be of further help to you.
Yours sincerely,
Alvin Goh
Cut Waste Panel Secretariat
http://www.cutwaste.gov.sg
======================================================
We refer to the feedback and we wish to comment the following:
1. Two vaccinations are compulsory: measles and diptheria. The rest are highly recommended.
2. Measles and diptheria can cause severe complications and even death. The risk of these complications far outweigh any risk from unproven side-effects like autism.
3. Vaccines are added to the National Childhood Immunisation Programme only if
(a) there is a significant disease burden or risk of an outbreak without vaccination
(b) there is a safe and effective vaccine and
(c) inclusion of the vaccine in the programme is cost-effective,
4. There are large studies which have shown that there is no link between measles vaccinations and autism e.g. there was a large study done on this in Denmark.
5. The HSA carefully evaluates the safety of vaccines before allowing them to be registered for use in Singapore. Vaccines which can cause major side-effects, will not be allowed to be registered unless such side effects are very rare e.g. exceeding 1 in 1 million.
6. We are not aware of a test to find a "hidden hole in their immune make-up that makes them susceptible to bad immune reactions from vaccinations". Such a test is not done before vaccinations anywhere in the world.
Hope this clarifies. Thank you.

<font color="0000ff">I'm am considering whether to delay the MMR jab for my DS until he's older.
There's quite an aggressive promotion of Pneumococcal Disease (PD) recently.
Here's a story of the PD claiming a 3-yo boy's life:

Hi fates,
My girl goes to Little Gym.. I try Gymboree but didnt like it as it's quite disorganised during free play. At Little Gym, during free play, the teacher will have activities like somersaults, bar walking. You can either allow your child to roam abt or join in those activities...
Probably can go for a trial first to get a feel.

Hi mums
it's been a while (AGAIN)! Work has been killing me! Had no time to catch up on this forum...
Walking
Nat is almost running, and it's real scary, cos given her "height", it's too easy to miss her in the crowd! Very stubborn too... wanna go there means there, no where else, otherwise she'll sit on the floor!
Speech
hmmmm... she only knows how to say 'mama', the rest's gibberish! She'll respond to us by pointing everywhere, nodding or shaking her head furiously, frowning or rolling her eyes.
Favourite activities: ransacking bags, feeding the dogs, 'you pass to me, i pass to you' game
Shoes: i think Clark shoes and sandals are really good - comfy and quite pretty

Firefly,
yes, now they know how to choose food...no more plain porridge with ikan bilis powder..Must have meat, fish, veg etc.
Oats, i gave for breakfast..
You can try to think of new ideas, color ( i mean carrots, pumpkin color etc) to entice baby to eat.
Ino,
Really huh? i haven taken the p-jab. Sigh..so many side effects.

<font color="0000ff">My boy has been rather demanding lately. He'll cry when we refuse to give him or take away things that he wants or is interested in. He will scream and sob really hard. His table manners are also not too good. He wants our food and when we serve him food in a bowl, he'll want to grab it. He also likes to dip his fingers into the cup when we serve him water and sprinkle or spill the water everywhere! If we stop him, he'll cry ...</font>
my gal also screams alot...sometimes i feel realli paiseh...aiya..but then since all bbs scream like that, i always tell my gal "shhh...so noisy"...then i cover her mouth and walk away liao...wat to do? can't possibly dig a hole and bury myself...haiz..
i wonder whether this phenomenon is unique to May babies only...keke

my boy frightened a sleeping baby with a loud cry. we were waiting for the train and he just went 'ah...' loudly and pointed at her. i can tell the mother was not too happy but how do i educate a 13mth old that he cannot make noise when babies are sleeping?
at home, my sister calls him a tyrant. he cries and scream when he does not get his way.

Hi mummies,
regd screaming babies, my gal oso does that wen we dun give her wat she wants. so I firstly explained to her why we cannot give it to her. sometimes she sort of understands & phew, relief for us. however, if she still insists & make a big fuss out of it, we distract her attention & she immediately forget abt it.
had emphasised quite a lot of times to her that the consequences of some actions can cause her pain. whenever she wants to open the cupboard, etc, we just tell her "pain pain" & sometimes, she'll start crying even before she open the cupboard. faint! but wen we just tell her that she haf not feel pain yet, she'll just stop crying. haha

Fates & Shawny,
I brought Zach for the trial, not Isabel. I think for Zach's level, they're not bad. I like the story telling part coz I could see that the kids were really attracted by the "story teller" and were paying attention. Maybe it's a trial, sometimes I felt it was a bit "luan" with parents not sure what to do or where to go... Anyway, maybe just me la.
I didn't sign him up coz the classes are for weekdays and it's quite far for me.

SS1 & fates, regarding the JWT Gym trial...1stly 1.5hours is too long for a 13-14mth old baby. At this age, I would prefer the class to be more physical/motor skills inclined. Ashley (dd1) used to attend The Little Gym @ Forum Galleria, I find it more suitable for babies this age.
The JWT Trial class I attended seems to be very much alike to the Julia Gabriel Playgroup Class which dd1 attended...it's much too advance for Amber.

angelzwynd,
Congrats! Ya, how many weeks now? U said a ball, so must be quite BIG?!?! Are you driving or taking bus or MRT? My place is opposite Thomson Plaza @ Upper Thomson. Got a bit of uphill walk if you're coming from Upper Thomson direction, but you can also access via Sin Ming Ave if you're taking bus no 410 (white), 52 or 162.
Sponge,
Wah...not bad, u still remember the finger painting!! Ya, it's still there!
Ivy,
U can bring your famous muffin and cookies la! Yeah!
Little Nana,
Aiya, not another trip la, just crossing the causeway only. Ooohhh, can smell durian already...
Shawny,
Looking forward to the laksa! Thx! BTW, Daniel from JWT called me. Told him that I enjoyed the program and like the place, but timing and distance is a bit of problem now. Did he call u? Anyway, maybe we can share more when we meet.
Fates,
U coming?
