mum2b, yah..i understand how u feel becos at times I also doubt myself. That's why I am very conscious about myself and take every opportunity to know more abt child-rearing.
Ok, my son follows the routine rather strictly. Of cos sometimes, he wakes up a little later so we just adjust the routine accordingly. I dun feed my son when he's sleepy or drowsy. He's usually rather awake. After feeding, he would play for about 30 mins before sleeping. My son also never seems hungry. He hardly ever cries for food. Haha ..or I just dun interpret his cries for food. I always think he's crying for some other reasons.
He's always fed at the same place and in the same chair. Suster gives him milk in the FP Rocker Chair. The chair is slight reclined at about 30 degrees. In this way, no need to expend energy carrying him. My son knows that it's feeding time becos of the routine. First, she would wear his bib then put him down on the chair. Then she would start feeding him. There are times when he would make a little noise so she just distracts him with some toys with the bottle still in his mouth.
Oh, when we go out, I breastfeed him. And yes, he's easily distracted. So bfg can be a pain! Do other babies behave this way?
Re:Solids
Haha, now I am in two minds again! Ya, I still believe that milk is the most impt food for the bb's first year. For me, it's ok if he doesnt eat a lot. The most important thing is that he must drink milk! The question is why does Gina Ford recommends replacing a milk feed with a meal? That I don't quite agree.

missk,
wah for my bb, even though i follow schedule, she doesn't care, sleeps when she wants,drink milk when she wants, play when she wants. i'm at my wit's end already.
like yesterday she slept at 1 am, even though her last nap was 4.30-5pm. she did slept after i feed her at 10pm, but only for 30 mins, then cry n wake up. then because she slept so late, in the morning she can't drink much coz too sleepy (usually whether or not she wake up, i just feed her at 7am). after 9 hours w/o milk (at night), at 7 am she only drink 100ml. then fell asleep after bath at 9.15 to 10.15am. then at 10.30 drink milk n that such a struggle, managed to finish 120ml but needs more than 1 hour coz she wants to play (even though schedule for feeding is 10am). shedule went haywire already. if i feed her when she is fully awake, she would drink 30 ml then stop n play, then another 30 ml, then cry wants to play, etc. i feel i spent a large chunk of my life trying to feed her milk.
maybe i'm not suited for motherhood
oh u still bf. u mean u only bef when outside? at home using bottle only?
btw i have FP rocker, but now she can't sit still already, play with whatever it's there, the velcro tape, the vibration panel below, turning her body n looking at the ox picture behind, standing. u know this morning at 10.30 feed, she keep turning around when i bottle feed her, but i maintain the bottle inside her mouth, so feeding while she twisting around, lay down and even standing.

peng,
I just asked to go to the class under Teacher April, my boy's former teacher. And she only has this crawler2 class left. Initially Anne told my hb that my girl is only 7 mth gotta join crawler1.... then my hb told her we are doing our own home training and she is crawling well on her own liao... so they agree to let her go in for the class to allow the teacher to assess whether she can join the crawler2. That's how she went in. In fact, if u had been doing home training since birth (like in my girl's case), she is already considered advanced in some of the stuff done eg. San zi jing, maths she is way more advanced liao... she is not creeping yet but some babies in crawler2 cant creep yet... so its ok. Most of the activities she is at least on par or more advanced .. hmm the only thing is fine motor skill like turning a screw etc which requires more practise to match crawler2.

Actually by right, it shld cost more than $2k but remember we got a free upgrade on water, so slightly cheaper...

Angeline:
My ger very used to me nursing her to sleep. Agree spend quite effort n time to nurse her to slp. Dunno y nowadays she is very lightslper, tend to wake up by tiny little noise.
Jiat liat, if i wanna wean, dunno how cos not easy to pat her to slp. But during nursing, sometimes i wil pat her backside n she tend to fall aslp faster. Nowadays dunno y she tend wake up looking for human pacifier/drink milk at nite, jiat liat, make me so tired.
Do u all always nurse ur bb to slp? wat kind of method do u all use to put bb to slp? when i m at work, my mum wil pat her or sometimes after my mum feed her bottle w milk, she wil fall aslp by herself.

now that u mentioned it... I think maybe its due to teething... cos when my girl have the unexplained bouts of crying last week.... yesterday we found she had sprouted her 3rd teeth. Maybe its becos the gum painful or not comfortable... it slips my mind... last time my boy also will getting crying spells at night when he is teething... and more easily irritable. Now that her 3rd tooth come out, no more crying spell these few days.

Organising cards
Just wondering if I should get a office filing cabinet for my flash cards....really messy now. Can't imagine how it is going to be one year down the road...digging into toyogo boxes... Anyone working as office purchasing exec or has purchased such system before? Any lobang for such things? I don't think can find in home-furniture shops leh... Any idea?

wen,
I went to popular bookshop yesterday to buy those plastic file cases A4 size thick ones. Each case can be used to put about 200 A5 size cards. I am trying this method. Then I just file the cards in a shelves just like any other file. I am trying to find if there is A5 size instead so that each case can hold abt 100 A5 size cards. Not sure where to find ...
I ever see flashcards filing system from overseas website but not in singapore leh.

missk,
yeah, i feel like giving up already. maybe should just find a job n "dump" her to maid or infant care.
if my bb wake up at night, no amount of carrying or patting is useful. so the option is just to let her play until tired or let her cry.
btw does ur suster talk/sing dyring feeding? if i talk to my bb durig feeding, she'd distracted n stop drinking o smile or "talk" to me. sigh..
do u make ur milk v warm for feed?
angeline,
r u working? wo take care of ur bb?
poohy,
u use cry it out method? sometimes i just too tired to carry so i let her cry, but cannot too long coz hubby cannot sleep.
wen,
i think i saw office filing cabinet at 2nd furniture shop at kallang area. eh not sure the exact location though

mum2b,
I dun use cry it out method. Me and hb will try to carry her till she stop crying but well sometimes if we really cant stop the crying cos dunno what's wrong, we will just carry her and keep trying to calm her down. We dun let the children cry it out on their own .... even if we cant solve what's bothering them, we will just carry them... my boy 20 months liao also at times have long crying spells... especially if overstimulated in the day.... I have to carry him all the way and endure his kicking and all.. till he calms down. I cant bear to just leave them there and cry it out on their own leh... attachment parenting mah...

poohy, yah lor. Last time I was very stressed cos I just couldn't understand why my son was like that. Now, I just take it easy lah. If he cries, I just carry lor. Yes, very tiring but what to do?
mum2b, yah suster talks to him during feeding. Yah, I was once very tired from looking after the bb. Then I read something fr William Sears. Some children demands more than others. FRom then, I began to look at things differently. Well, the phase will pass. One thing though, I started giving Krist a schedule since he's one month old. I guess he's kinda used to it. When u set a routine, you need at least 14 days before you give up. WAnt to read TRacy Hogg's book? Or you can read the Sleep Lady sytem. Both books available from the library. Don't give up yah! I know it's difficult and I've gone thru that stage esp when I was in Singapore. Look at the brighter side of things. You can email me to chat lah. You have my email add rite?
CIO: I certainly don't advocate the CIO method. I believe bb need to feel secure. I just cant bear to leave my son to cry his lungs out.

Poohy,
When Gabby is over stimulated and has long crying spell, I will bring her down to the void deck and walk and sing to her. She calmed down almost immediately. And sometimes just fall back to sleep again. One of my friends said she would just bring her baby for a drive. Think it is calming yet distracting enough to get the baby to cool down. Maybe can try that if possible.
