(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB


Joline,

Anyway I hack care them. Its my son what got to do with them. I am very irrated with their attitude liao.

Mummies,

Wish me good luck for these wkends as my MIL, SIL they all are coming back. Hubby promise to lie to them we are out for 2 wkends so hopefully MIL dun come over my hse.

Re: Baby Development

I realise when they want to learn new things, its like all of sudden one. We teach him bye bye for 1 mth plus he dun want. Then we kind of give up but all of sudden he bye bye to use. Then few days ago, he suddenly kept saying 'papa' my hubby happy until upside down. My hubby spend I would say the lesser time with Jayden because he got nite classes but Jayden saying 'papa' first wor. Kept saying non stop.

When my sis bring Jayden downstairs to wait for us to knock off. Jayden can recongise hb's bike. Will scream non stop. If other bike pass by he simply ignore.

Now Jayden will 'run off' if we tell him let's go bath liao. Sometimes seeing him can make me forget abt all the rubbish my in-law say.

Haiz. Last nite I dream of FIL insist carrying Jayden whereby I say NO because they get close with SIL who had chicken pox but he say its ok never mind. I say NO again then who know when I turn my back he go n carry Jayden. I scold him upside down. Scolding them for being selfish, inconsiderate.
 
cootagefry,

Dun feel sad, it's js a phase they r gg thru, afterall, u r his mother, he'll come back to the glue stage in future... like my sis, she's very fierce to his 2 sons, even smack them with cane but they still stick to her like superglue, even dun wan to follow their daddy... like my char, she dun stick to me one, whenever someone say go gai-gai, she'll follow then dun wan me liao... sad oso but it's a short relieve afterall... so dun worry...
 
YT,
Alfred also the same.. though he learn to call mama first, but soon after he can call papa he starts papa-ing around and only call me when he wants milk at night and the time he needs me to carry him to sleep. Last night I sneaked out to do facial at jurong point guess wat, alfred could not fall into sleep without me and according to hubby and mil he keep calling mama.. haha..

Is ur hubby going to invite your SIL to Jayden's birthday next week?
 
MT,

I got eys card, who wanna see chinese sinseh? yr boi?

Btw, regarding heat rashes, i bath my 2 gers in bittergourd water when the condition get worse..suppose to purge out the heatiness..
 
As for the belief in walking late = good life..I guess cos walk later mean get to be carry longer so good life lor..anyway, I realise that when kiddies lear to walk earlier, they r good at their motor skill which is physical developments whereas those that walk later concentrate on picking up languages & observation skills..but there some which are fast in both skills lah..so dun worry..
 
Joline,

Hahaha. Alfred is so cute. Jayden now know how to 'jio' ppl to play. If we ignore him, he will get angry.

I dunno leh. Maybe by that time she is cure liao. I also dunno. Haiz.
 
toking abt baby falling asleep..wahlau..cham ah...i realised these 2 nights when hb patted ian to sleep..he dun wan leh...he will cry n cry n cry..wahpiang..maciam kena abused...i tried to ignored for about 10-15mins..cos i can relaxed wheile hb patted him mah..but after that..buay tahan liao..so went in and took over...within mins...he zzz liao...aiyo si lah..like that how...i cant even relax when hb is home...everything must be me then jialat liao....
 
YT...heard chicken pox when healing time is the most contagious one..so u better ask her to go c doc and confirm by the doc that she is well again to 'get out' of the hse ah...dun play play...
 
dsii,
U watch Sat channel 8 9.30pm programme? The way u describe bb I makes me recall one of the kid who rejects papa making milk for him lei..
 
PM
D also not keen on cereal anymore. So he eats less of that but I feed him other things like macaroni. I give him bits of what I eat too. He still likes his porridge although he's not as excited as he used to be. He likes rice which he will feed himself off his table. Good thing is he likes milk again. ;-)

Pooh
I agree with you. Some aspects of development slower means other aspects faster. Faster or slower is not important. Important thing is that they get there eventually.

Seriously, walking earlier is bad life for mummy, not for bb. When we go out, Dylan will walk off and walk very far if I let him. And if I don't, he'll create a fuss. It wouldn't be so bad if he could wear shoes cos there might be sharp bits on teh ground.
 
PM,
Wat u mean table food? U mean adult food? I find adult food is too salty for them. Why not u cook plain porriage then 1 or 2 small dishes just for E. Place it on the table just like how adults have meals. May be he enjoy siting together with daddy n mummy for meals.

Joline,
Sorry for saying this. Understand that as the 1st time mummy we tend to search ard and look for info in web but i dun find some really apply to bbies especially for asian bb.
If u notice most of the parenting books are written by ang mo. They base on their environment and their culture value to groom their kids. So we must also base on asian value to work on our kids.

For teething - the only reason for the bb to have decay teeth. 1stly, sickness.. 2ndly, the bb did not wash off the milk after nite feed. The sugar may make the milk teeth decay. Beside that i cant think of any. Unless we feed the bb with alot of sweet goodies which i dun believe we will.

Cottagefry,
i went thru wat u are going thru now. Dun worry ur bb will come back to u. The kids know who are their parents.

Dsii,
hahaha... my hubby dun handle sleeptime. I am the one who did it. However there are time i am so piss off with Julian cos he simply wun sleep then after 1 round of scolding and battle with him i will let hubby take over and surprisingly he sleep after 10min. May be too tired liao.

Do Ian sooth himself to sleep? I realise Julian can but i need to be ard. I just off the light, lay beside him and let him turn and toss, before i know he already slept.
 
Hey, my ger still hate eating. she dont like food, i hv 2 force a little most of the time. she likes noodles now but dont know hw long it will last and i also cant just keep feeding her noodle right. at 1st she dont want porridge but still ok with cereal. now she dont want cereal liao! she still not use to drinking formula, again got to use some force! how how how!!!
 
hong..
no leh..ian must be patted...and sing songs...wahlau..so gd..i dun mind laying beside him and he toss n turn then koon leh...haiz...ian ah ian...

joline

PM,
Gil is also taking lesser interest in her porridge, so i will also cook ABC macaroni n mee sua for her.

MTDT,
Thanks...i will try to stop her when i see her bite her lips again, but her's is upper lips bleed leh, not lower lips...'scratch head'??

dsii,
Gil went thru dat with her daddy also, dun wan him to pat her to sleep, d daddy so upset...aiya their pattern always change wan,i also realised if say d daddy is patting her, i cannot be around cos if she sees me will wan me lor, so i sometimes even had to crawl out quietly out of d room. Then now i still have to 'slow dance' with her every night to make her sleep

Alamak just now she fell hard on d back of her head while walking with d push walker...now really very 'bo eng' watching over her manz
 
dsii,

they will never listen to me n they never never show respect to others also.

She found out got chicken pox on 11 Jun, anyone could advice by 1 Jul will she recover?

for example: my wedding, MIL ask my elder SIL not to attend my tea ceremony as elder BIL's dad juz pass away. But you know what, they still turn up for my wedding dinner. What is the difference? My mum so angry
 
dsii,
Oh.. he's kelly's boy huh.. he looks handsome on Tv leh.. think she must be busy in coping with 2 boys that she got no time to chat here..

hong
U've pointed out a good point. I totally agree w u. That's why I always seek first opinion from TMC specialists, PD, my fam doctor and dentist first before I search for more information from the web and books, and I understand that there could be diff versions of stories from one source to another. Mummies nowadays are well educated, I think they should be able to judge whether the info is reliable or not
happy.gif
 
marcaroni or mee sua? sounds interesting but how to cook? Throw everything into the slow cooker or can mix marcroni with rice...ahahahahah
 
Lena,
Err u ask me ah? Think a lot of mummies here cook better stock than me...heheh...i anyhow 'hum tum' one...basically just ikan bilis, sweet corn, carrot, tomato lor
 
blessings,
I usually soak the macaroni for 15 minutes then bake with the toppings like cauliflower, carrot, minced fish/checken meat and a layer of cheese.

For oriental style, soak the macaroni, then cook with chicken stock or ikan bilis powder to give some flavouring and when the water is boiling throw in meat, shredded green vege, carrots, etc.. cook until the food reach the texture u wan
 
re: food

wat is the food texture like for ur bbs now?

in my case, ethan doesn't like anything grainy inside at all, despite it being soft to melting pt! he gags at them. he prefers them pureed still. he's just started to teeth, the 4 front teeth slowly sprouting and at the most, he can chew (chew only) on the teething biscuit. how to encourage him to take more textured food???
 
Other than macaroni, can let bb try Udon, kuay tiow, handmade noodles and mee hoon kueh. Make sure the foods are soft and in the right size in order to avaid the hazard of chocking.
 
missmoon,
My boy has more teeth now, so he prefers something that he can bite and chew on.. it's very much depends on individual bb and their development i guess.. and perhaps their liking? My PD told me this, when u see bb showing interest in taking your food and reject his own food, that's time when u can introduce him with more textured food..
 
PM
What about potato instead of rice? You mentioned before E likes that? It's much easier than noodles. And you can sneak in some milk as well. Noodles take longer to mash.
 
Lena,
I bought those in tubes one.. can't remember the brand.. but I remember Mrs Chan has a better choice of cheese for infant.. maybe can check with her..
 
Hi mummies, it's been quite some time since I post.

Need your advise. I am having a hard time cleaning my gal's teeth. She doesn't allow me to clean her teeth at all. Whenever I bring the cloth near to her mouth, she will shut her mouth tight and refuse to open. How har? How do you clean your bb's teeth? Help!! Thanks...
 
kloe,

I use the first teeth with the rubber toothbrush. Arin regards it as a flavoured chew toy and has no problem letting me clear her teeth and mouth while chewing on my finger..sigh.

btw, the cloth u are using, is it spiffies? I had tried that with Arin too and she didn;t like it. So maybe yours just didn;t like the taste/texture of the cloth?
 
Hi Mums,

Ylc-dont remind me abt the BJG incident.. make me so ma lu.. Until now, I dont think I can reason with E...but it do sounds logical what the teacher said.

Hong - I used the same method as u. Just lie beside him, then he will roll, toss and turn before he sleep. If i go out, he will crawl down the bed to look for me. I lazy to cook like what u mention, coz porridge easier mah, just dump everything in slow cooker. Hehe.. but im trying mee sua later.

I also realise the mummy in the show is familiar, so its kely (fairy..something) right?

Zoe - He likes those potatoe that we eat outside, I dont know how to cook their standard. I prepared mash potatoe for him a fwe times but he just puke it all out.
 
joline - i've so far only cooked macaroni with soup...interested to bake it the way u mentioned? u mean bake in oven? wat temp and for how long ah? me never tried baking before so must ask
happy.gif
yes, wat cheese do you use too? can check the brand & let me know. So many brands and types of cheese in supermart, sometimes really dunno what to buy.

pooh - i oso bathe my ger in beer last time when she had very bad rash...my aunt taught me says can get rid of heat.

lena - dun give up, must persevere ok? guess babies get sick of the food if we give them same stuff for a continuous period...all of us hv our own problems with feeding one...my ger will eat most things n she's on the big side too..but her problem is that she doesn't like to chew..just swallow so we need to cut or mash our food or she'll choke and then vomit out. Till now, i still cannot feed her a slice of apple or she'll bite big chunk of it and choke on it when she swallows. Go outside, pp dun understand, will give her n insist she can eat as she's oredi 1 year old...but we know lor cos we look after them mah.
 
Emerson also dun allow me to brush his teeth, and worse after nite feed for milk he dont want to drink water. How huh.. I scare he got tooth decay.

Regarding learning - I think Emerson is quite confuse. Last time he use to "say" byebye by claspings his fingers (like signing for milk) after he knows how to wave his hands.. he mixed up the two.. and he only know how to say byebye after he clap his hands. Coz we always ask him to clap hands then say byebye. Now he confuse with arms-up/byebye and wave yr hands. The only thing he capable is clapping, but that skil learnt sicne 7mths.
 
kloe
My bb's the same. ;-) He screams his head off and throws a mini tantrum so I can only do a split-second swipe once a day. That's all I'm able to do.
 
kloe PM
I have a family friend who has looked after many many babies and she says not to force clean their mouths cos then this will put them off brushing later in life which is worse. And she says don't worry about not cleaning their mouths now. It's ok. Her children all have very nice teeth.
 
toothbrushing - i've yet to try the Spiffies..but recently my ger will bite our fingers when we try to clean her mouth...so finger brush is almost of no use anymore...really painful when she bites even though it's thru the rubber. Using toothbrush now but sometimes, she just clamps up her mouth n refuses...my hb wonders if it's cos she doesn't like taste of the toothpaste...i oso dunno how to clean her tongue now since she bites, used to clean it with gauze but painful now man! then her tongue getting whiter n whiter...dunno how
 
pooh - haha...mabuk baby good wat...hahah...no lah, just half or one can enough plus water like usual...but not too often lah...very fragrant one leh...hahaha..i like.

PM - haha..i oso dress my girl at times at home in those singlets with holes...urs is it like sarong net material type? n she would look so much like a boi boi...but at home nvm lah...go out then dress pretty pretty
happy.gif


lena - it's good that ur ger is slowly getting used to the taste of formula...at least she's not rejecting it totally. mummies who bf must oso eat well, cos will affect milk quality oso. we must oso take care of our own health if not how to take care of them in the long run...
 
PM - u & i poor things...or rather our poor fingers...hahah...i read somewhere they like to imitate...trying to show her when i'm brushing myself too...they say when they r older, can ask them to brush for us and we brush for them...must make it like a game then when it's fun, they will do anything.
 
Thanks mummies, haha qutie a kiasu mummy so a bit worried , ya lo put himina walker veri active can run with it , just learn to crawl weeks ago . Btw, any mummies bb has big head hai mine when preggie doc says his head on bigger end till now still big just bought him to kk to see doc polyclinic ask to go normally there is a check up at 9 or 10 months right forgetten liao the doc says his head is above 97 % increase so cannot lo must go check

as for mine also the same like to bite, eeri thing in his hand keep bitng, btw so upset , been in this thread for so long nv join yur gathering, onli fimilar with eeyore the only mummy i met b4 ..
 
Oh ya Summer bites my "rubber-finger" too when i brush her upper teeth (lower teeth she will open her mouth wide wide..dont know why). then i will stare at her and ask her to stop biting then she stops and bites and stops...but overall she likes it!

Cheri
Ya each time before feeding her got to cross my fingers hoping that she likes the food this time. Baking the macaroni is something interesting. Hope mommies can let me know what cheese to use. I think can bake using toaster right??
