serene,
ya lor...early hor... my co thinking of shifting. The places they thought of r actually quite favourable to me ...hee hee hope they move soon
actually BF'g at nite is ok cos i dont physically wake up to feed... just stuff my Bs into my girl's mouth to feed her while i lie down. I guess it's the stress at work plus getting used to waking up early that makes me so tired. sometimes my girl doesnt wake up but most of the time she only wakes up 1x.

re: 1000 pic flashcard BP
actually these cards are A5 size. Printed from the 10 volumes of GD dictionaries CD. I have those 10 CD too... very costly and can flash the 1000 pictures in many different language. Can buy from gdbaby too... The cards printed in A5 sizes are goood... I use them for image training
when u believe and practise the shichida methods, you need LOTS of image cards... real life (applicable to GD and shichida) or cartoon images (applicable to shichida) is ok.... just need LOTS of cards... cos the suggestion is flash as many image cards at high speed as possible for the image training.
If u r serious in GD and shichida method... then u will need to start collecting as many of such good quality image cards (or softcopy) and start a system of printing your own or making your own or somehow obtaining much more cards... cos the encyclopedic set from GDbaby is just 25-30 topics consisting of 10 facts each.... there is so much things to teach them.. soon u will run out of such cards. U definitely wont wanna stop there right... so buying the cards is one thing, at the same time a lot of effort needs to put into making/sourcing for more. I went to the shichida parents session and first thing they shared which I fully agreed is... shichida parents equal to hardworking parents... many many nites need to be spent on just the preparation work... I used to spent 2-3 hours a nite doing such preparation work... hehee
Things like san zi jing, zhong hua zi jing, etc mostly can be printed by yourself OR if they are slightly older, use powerpoint
re: ESP
the shichida teachers told me that ESP is like the senses of the right brain. Just like our normal 5 senses are of the left, the ESP belongs to the right brain.... and is strongest in the first 3 years of the child's life where they operate predominantly in right brain... At this age, u all do not need to deliberately conduct ESP program... just do pretend play. Like eg take a bear, say to the child, hey teddy is singing a song to u.... can u hear it... then put it at their ear and let them listen.. etc
re: 1 sec per card or less
fast speed flashing activates the right brain. The left brain do not do well with this type of speed... thus the right brain took over and each cards becomes an image ... invoking and enhancing photographic memory... If you flash cards too slow, it does not activates the right brain but the left. Supposed to be like dat lah... thus I flash it at 1 sec a card...
re: baby signing
my son learn most of the signing from my volumes of signing times which he love. For joelle, I am signing to her myself... cos I already know most of the basic signs liao... so can just sign to her..
My son can sign quite a lot of signs... at his age, it helps him communicate some of his needs to us and save some frustration..

Actually my situation also similar to yours. I wake up at 5am every morning to express. After washing up, sterilising and feedg my gal, it will be off to nanny's place at 7 am. Reached ofc around 8 am. In the evening, i will wait for hubby to fetch me, cos the expressing barang can be quite bulky if i have to take the crowded bus. Normally will reach home ard 730 to 8pm....smemore my gal wakes up 2 at nite, at 1 am and 4 am...............colleagues commented that my eye bags are getting worse.

Like that i think i am luckier. In the morn, my maid will sterilise the bottles and take charge of the kids before my hubby drive them to school and my mother's place. But at nite i have to walk back for abt 10mins cos my hub usually doesnt come back til after 9 pm or later.
I usually pack all my stuff the day before. I also have 2 pumps. One for home use and one to bring to office so that i dont have to rush myself to clean and sterilise.
Even with a maid, my day wont end before 11pm after putting the 2 kids to sleep.

tinklebell,
Though i reach home early everyday, but the minus point is i need to work every sat 1/2 day!!!! Sianz! I can understand how you feel, after work still must hear mum nagging....why don't you tell her this is your maid, you taught her your way, as long as you are satisfied then everything is fine. This is yr mother, should be easy to talk to her yah? Ya lor, i also wish my hub will tell me one day that i no need to work, can stay home...

Stephanie,
I brought my boy to polyclinic. I paid upfront $285. My boy did not get fever after the jab
I even brought him swimming the next day. I fed him my organic supplement called Indinine... If you wanna know more, can email to [email protected].
serene,
Winter clothings for babies are very cute.. kekeke... I might have to buy too cos I am considering going to UK in November with baby. My sis wanna buy from London during the summer sale, but I stopped her cos I am not sure... and babies grow very fast...
michele,
My boy is outgrowing some clothes for 6-12 months already! The width is ok, but length is too short already...
tinklebell,
Wah.. you go to work so early...
Serene,
Hep B is free ah? I paid $25 for 2 Hep B jabs at polyclinic.
poohy,
I think 1000 image cards is not enough if following shichida... My friend have more than 1000 cards that he and his wife made... now their boy not interested and flash to them instead... lol...
I do agree shichida parents are hardworking parents... but not all though...
ESP:
For the singing teddy, got no real singing one rite? Is it just for them to imagine?

Ya with 2 kids really not easy. For me, when i got home, i will accompany my baby till he sleeps around 10pm.
Btw, do you bathe yr baby twice, once in the morning and once at nite? Many says that a bath b4 sleep is good for relaxation but i worried he will catch a cold. I only wipe his whole body with wet towel. But now he's 3 mths old and the weather pretty hot, so was thinking to bathe him in the evening too...He sweat quite alot too esp after drinking milk.

I think the sterilising, washing and packing takes up quite a bit of my time every morng. Also must make sure to pack along the ice packs and cleaning brush etc. Can be tiring to always remember all these.
I need also to boil a flask of water in case baby comes home in the evening and wants to feed on milk immediately...i ever kena once when she cried for milk and i have no hot water to thaw the expressed milk !!

ya lor... definitely not enough... that's why whenever u have sources for good quality cards, can seriously consider..
I had 4000 real image cards... but have not got round to using them all cos too busy with 2 kids... actually there are just too many things to do if really follow shichida ... thus i take everything and improvise things that i find most useful... dun have to follow everything else gotta quit our job liao..
At the end of the day, all these GD and shichida methods stuff are just 1 part of the multi sensory home teaching we should do... bringing them out to experience the real thing is also part of the thing, just like swimming is also another thing, playing with good quality toys is another, learning instruments or music appreciation, teaching about values like humility is yet another... most important is whatever we do, we never shd ask for results... if we look for results, then we will be putting stress and expectations on the children for what we had done for them... at the end of the day, then its better u do nothing. having fun and joy is more important for knowledge acquisition...
I flashed daily to my boy various programs for 15 mth already and frankly, some of the times, I dun really know whether how much my boy know out of all those things... but i take it as pouring water into fertile soil... and just continue to plant and nurture with water and fertilizer daily... the only thing i believe is that my children are "fertile soil"..
btw, when the child become not interested, then maybe can try other means of presenting knowledge... if he is old enough, can also just read books together (even better). powerpoint... do experiments together at home.. etc we also get to activate our own imagination and innovations to teach our children.. passion is the key.

hiaz... dont want to annoy my mother lah. She means well but she likes to stress herself over little things lor... lucky my bro and i r like my dad... take things easy kind.
My girl bathes only 1x. But we will clean her with a wet towel in the evening. We wont bathe her more than once cos she hates to bathe! Rememeber i told u all that she cries as if the whole house has collapsed each time she bathes...same thing lor.
my son is the one hard to handle. attention seeking kind lor. On sat, he got lost in the market. we thought my dad was with him but somehow he sneaked and hid somewhere...so my dad thought he was with us....only when we went to the car did we realise he was missing!!! went back to look for him and thank goodness we managed to find him crying out v loud with a lot of strangers giving us the puzzled look. They must be thinking wat a lousy mummy i am.

Your maid dun listen to your mum, is it?
I think for maids, can only have one boss leh.. Either you instruct or let your mum instruct. If you take sides, your maid might not obey what your mum wants. But maids are also human.. got limited time and things they can do a day...

Haha... we used to it liao lah... can u imagine last time in school when i have finished revising my work, she will nag at me and ask me why i never study....aiyo!! she likes to stress herself and pp around her lor.

I dare not get winter clothings now.. cos I scared later cannot wear when time comes... I dunno how fast my boy is still growing. If buy too big clothes, wind will get in and not warm enough. If buy too small, cannot wear...
Oh yes, I remember... HepB can claim from medisave... I paid that in cash..
poohy,
yalor.. there are too many things to do for shichida program... I think GD program also got lots to do. I am also stocking up cards... lol... And also looking around for friends to exchange cards... I really got no time to DIY.
Last GD workshop I went, it's better to DIY storybooks for baby... I think I will do that.. My target is 100 books as a 1 year old birthday present... My hubby asked me why not 1000 books... ***faintz***
I stay at home most of the time to do my work, I already have no time... lol...
I do agree with you.. cannot ask for results... and I also believe in parents have to "yi shen zuo zhe". When I see kids beating their parents in the public and in my cousins' kids, then I look at their parents.. Their parents also beat the child... hence, the child will do that too... I am very conscious of my actions and my words too...
Really gotta believe that they are "fertile soil"
and cannot expect results back... Jia you oo!
I hope I can be like you too... Really takes a lot of patience, hard work and motivation.. You are the best mother to them...

agree with you, we must "yi shen zuo zhe"
cos kids are learning from us, they'll look up to us.. so whatever we do right/wrong, they will think that it is right and follow suit.

Ya same, my son also bathe 1x in the morning and in the evening, we clean him with wet cloth. I think he enjoys bathing but he don't like to wash his hair, sometimes he cried and many times, he's impatient, complain and make noise! But you brought your daughter for swim yah? She likes to swim?
Oh dear! Yr son nearly went missing ah...luckily he cried loudly and you found him! He must have got scared off...In most of the cases, after you had yr 2nd one, the 1st one will tends to feel very insecure, requires more attention than before, gets very jeolous easily.

signing .. will it kind of slow down baby's speech learning.
meaning since they can sign and we understand, will they still want to learn speech at earlier age?
tinklebell,
good thing he's safe and not wander further away.
he must be scared by the incident.

Actually i'm afraid that my baby will not be used to the cold weather, will catch a cold or fall sick......but it will be nice to go with my family esp my bro is coming back from melb this year for cny. Also, have not seen my grandma for 2 years...she's quite lonely there...
Hey u know, Australia always have this promo of 2A+2C (a family package of 2 adults + 2 children) at cheaper price... By the way, i think we also need to pay a certain percentage of airfare for baby rite though he's not taking up a seat? If going, also must consider bringing the maid or not. Has its pros and cons.

mspiggy ah, apparently manual pumps are good woh... i also using avent manual...
see this post:
A good tip I was given wiht my first child when milk production was low was to also pump, I had an electric pump and found it discouraging, only like 15-20 ml at a time or less.
My cousin suggested I get a hand pump and bought me the avent one, she also suggested pumping at the same time as the baby ate (takes some skill!) but I definitely had higher yield for milk storage and the pumping led to more milk production.
Are you using a hand pump? the motion the suggest pump-pump-pump-hold resembles more the sucking motion than the electric one that goes on and on and for me it also spurs the let down reflex. Also do drink lots of liquids.
A number of my friends didn't realise the diff of electric and hand pump and the switch has helped.
