missk : heehee, ya, i also dunno where to get, nevermind, i'll use lemon !
i think we share the same name !
heheeee
ipanda : my dd is 8.7kg, she uses M for nepia.
i think you can take 3 packs m and 1 L, just in case ... and dependant on how fast your bb uses the diapers ... for me, i change every 3 hrs, so it's abt 6 days to finish one pack

duffybuff,
yes, my son can sit in the IKEA highchair liao...in fact, he can sit unsupported now, and can stand on his own with his hand holding on to a support for a short while....
now, when we go out to eat, we will put him in highchair instead of his pram...he loves to join us at the dinning table...and his eyes always shine with excitment when he sees our food...think he's gonna be a greedy kid next time

k ong,
wow, you used up diapers so fast! I bought a jumbo pack of Drypers (84 pc) and have been using it for 1mth liao, still haven't finish....I dun change every 3 hour, even when he was a newborn...only change when diaper is full or when he poo....
I'm using pigeon steriliser....to clean the brown stain, I use 50% vingear and 50% water, total to 120ml, add in and on the steriliser...let it cool down, then wash clean, add tap water and on the button to steriliser again...after that, can use for sterilising bottles liao....

okasan,
thanks on ur tips to clean pigeon sterilizer. i've been thinking to use vinegar but scared it will smell and affect the bottles. shall try tomorrow. so u r using that 120ml blue container as the measurement?
wen,
same.. my baby also likes to suddenly rest her head on the floor while trying to crawl. got banged several times coz i was not quickly enough or busy do something else. maybe because her head is too heavy hehe..
mm.. i'm also interested to know how to feed lecithin for bb. which one should i get n how do i prepare it?
amy,

K ong: cleaning for steriliser
Lemon juice cleaning - weekly maintenance
Half fresh lemon
clean soft cloth
mug
- extract lemon juice to mug
- pour into steriliser without boiling
- leave it to stay for 30 mins
- use a soft cloth to remove remaining limescale
- drain & rinse steriliser with clean water
Vinegar & water cleaning - occasional maintenance to help remove stubborn stains
clean soft cloth
40ml vinegar + 80 ml water (ratio 1:2)
- mix 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water
- pour combined mixture into empty steriliser
- switch on for about 1 minute
- Then switch off the main power and leave to stand for 15-30 minutes
- with a clean soft cloth, wipe off any remaining stain or limescale
- drain & rinse steriliser to wash away vinegar
- pour 120ml of clean water, switch on to run a full cycle with just clean water
- switch off the main power, rinse and wipe clean the sterilser.
My fren who use the vinegar method say must boil & rinse with clean water a few cycles to get rid of the vinegar smell.
I did a major clean with mine few weeks back using citric acid. After each steam, I just pour tap water into steriliser and pour away. felt that this is better cos now not much of the black/brown substance after each steam compared to previous time.

poohy,
thanks
so can use GD maths cards for SM
goodgood, save $$ hahaha
you were mentioning there is a maths CD for SM?
what is it for? as in the 65-day programme. read in sgforum that must do 3 cycles of the 65-day programme. then must stop GD maths when doing SM maths. **scratch head** would it confuse the child by teaching the 2 maths method. also stopping GD maths programme halfway, is it ok?

I also using the pigeon 2-bottles and avent.
check with you for avent, how long does yours take to complete each steam cycle? mine seems to take 'forever' at least 12-15 minutes instead of the stated 8mins. I pour exactly 90ml of clean water le.

avent - I usually put 6 bottles inside. does it matters how many bottles we put inside? cos thought is water evaporated via steam, the cycle done?

sunflower: mine takes about 6 mins ... it's the IQ24. about the time i take to brush my teeth and wash face - heehee, cuz i load it before i wash up, and after i wash up, the items are ready.
in fact, i find that my pigeon takes forever to run a cycle !! it's supposed to be 8 mins right ? but it's like 10 - 12 mins !!

Hello gals...
Yesterday and today... I "orr bak kak"... lol... Aloysius woke up at 5.45am this morning and refused to sleep again. I can see his eyes very big staring at me, and touching my face while still in the dark... Very cute.. but very tiring for me oo...
sunflower,
If I were you, I will finish the GD maths program first then start the Shichida maths program. I have the 65 day program. I think it's similar to GD maths program. Difference is the number of days and number of cards to flash and only flash once a day. For example, in the 65 days program, flash 10 dots in one session instead of 5. For equations, it's not 2 weeks for each plus/minus/multiply/divide. I think there's not many very complicated equations. I, myself, like challenges and very simple equations will bored me also. kekeke... I am KS. I mixed the two program, with more of GD's program... cos when I follow GD strictly, Aloysius was bored. GD program is more extensive, I feel. And from the book, I get more ideas on what to do next...
Whatever method you choose, just remember that it's the input stage now. And watch out for signs of boredom and plan the program according to Xander's preference
You are the one who knows him best
GD always states in his book "Only mothers know best".
For me, I think Aloysius is fast. I am targetting to finish all GD cards before the start of Shichida class. But haven't got time to plan yet. Yesterday did not do flashcards cos I was so tired and low in energy...
poohy,
Do you think the variety cards are useful?? How are the cards flashed?? I haven't got the time to ask my friends on that...
Kite,
Yes, I will use brown rice and blend myself. Long grains.
Wen,
The first time I put Aloysius on the hard floor, he suddenly went down to lick and hit his gums... and cried.. Now, he knows the floor is hard... lol... When he's on the bed, he used to bury his head and kick. Surprisingly, he dun do that when on the floor or tatami mat.
poohy,
You bought the organic lecithin from Superachievers?? How does it taste like?? Shichida recommended Lecithin even during pregnancy, instead of the fish oil...
Wen,
The tatami mat I got is from Japan... You dun really need tatami mat. I used it since I have it in the storeroom. I think a mattress protector with cover should be good. I did not bother to get a cover for the mattress protector, so I used a tatami mat
K Ong,
hahaha.. it's so convenient to breastfeed with baby hor?? For me, I might be travelling without baby, and wanna plan second one soon and detox first, so gotta start weaning already. But I haven't got to start the process... lol... a bit "bu she de"..
Fi,
I dun change diaper every 3 hours...
So far still ok
