The books there r really value for $...some books that sell for $4-5 there can be found in Kino, borders or popular stores at more than $10...no kidding, exact same book! most mummies i know will come back wif many books each time...heheh...i'm one of them.
my ger's current favs r Usborne books (those wif flaps & the more farmyard tales type), Charlie & Lola, Ladybird stories like Goldilocks, 3 lil pigs etc. She's into stories now, doesn't like those labelling sorta books anymore. Pestered my hb to read Goldilocks 3 times that nite in a row..his versions got shorter wif each reading hahahah. I'm oso exposing her to some simple non fiction books...Rigby's v good wif real pics of insects, birds, bones, patterns etc...i din buy the whole set, just single titles that i think would appeal to her...mainly from auction sites or 2nd hand book stores/church thrift stores.

Nuby's really spill-proof? That's great! Is the spout the straw type or sippy type? Is it one of these types?
http://www.nuby.platformtwo.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=26&Itemid=43&lang=en
pooh,
Your description is quite vague le. Any picture to show?
Annie,
Are you referring to the brand "Gerber'?
Cheri,
DS also dislike water. He'll take only a sip of water (just to entertain me, under my close scrutiny, haha), afterwhich he'll quickly try to pour the water out by shaking the bottle upside down vigourously and it'll make a mess. That's why I'm looking for a really spill-proof type.</font>

睡不足12小时 婴儿三岁后易肥胖
8 April 2008 2233hrs
新传媒新闻报道，为人父母者可要注意宝宝的睡眠时间。美国一项最新研究发现，平均每天睡少过12个小时的婴儿，过了三岁后，变肥胖的几率，比睡上12小时的同龄小孩、高出一倍。
研究人员对915名婴儿进行研究。他们分别在婴儿六个月大、一岁和两岁时，向婴儿的母亲，询问婴儿的睡眠时间。其中有9%的婴儿到三岁时，体重超出一般的标准。
研究人员把其他可能影响体重的因素，例如出生时的体重，和喂奶的时间等、列入考量之后，发现每天睡平均少过12小时的婴儿，比起睡眠充足的同龄孩子，发胖的风险高出了一倍。
如果睡眠少过12小时，再加上每天观看超过两个小时的电视节目，孩童变胖的风险更高出将近五倍。
