Hi piyo,
ok. can swop then if cocomo can't make it. not sure if cheers and jasmine are considering the one on the 10th. u might want to check with them?

I don't have any sunblock for babies. is it possible for me to get a little from one of u? cos wasteful to buy a tube cos i seldom bring him to swim.

can check with u whether the area for bathing babies is in the ladies' bathing area?

 

[sclaujas]

erin,

[erin00]

hi jasmine,
din know abt the ttc gathering. only know the one u sms me. so are there 2 ttc gathering this month? me blur blur.

 

[yamyam]

Hi Fiona,

My baby did drink milk and eat much less during her teething period. Her daily's milk and cereals intake dropped by almost half. This lasted for around 7 - 10days then she resumed back t her usual intake.

 

[pupsandcups]

hey gals,

GATHERING AGAIN

when do you guys wanna gather again? next is smlow or kelly's place? let's meet up soon! i can suggest my mom's place, condo, the function room, but it's far in the west, upp bkt timah, n i know most of u stay in like east or sembawang/sengkang.

 

[secret_garden]

Hi gers,
GATHERING

Supposedly after smlow's place would be Kelly's place and then my place...but I dun mind going to any of your place... cos mine can wait haha! when ah? mid Mar?

 

[butter8]

MH,
you can get al sorts of baby bottled foods here at Giant, NTUC, Cold Storage etc.. I usually buy from Giant or shopn save, depending where I happen to be.

Fiona,
my boy reduced his milk intake when teething, and we kept wasting milk, cuz when I make his usual 180ml, he sometimes only drinks 60ml or at times even doesnt want any at all.. wasted alot of milk powder

cocomo,
i guess, my boy is now used to some tasty food, since i gave him banana which is sweet... so if cereal is tasteless he eats less? further, my mum mixes the plain cereal with the bottled puree fruit or porridge with carrots, all a bit sweet ya...

pupsncups,
i dun mind your area hehehe

piyo,
hope to attend one of the gatherings hehe my boy needs to meet other babies

 

[erin00]

hi jasmine,
in that case, i go jo's place ok. will not be going for the united square gathering then.

hi mummies,
re: food intake
kayden seems to be taking the same amt of milk like last time (700+ml) with the exception of 1 solid feed per day. am thinking of increasing to 2 solid feeds this weekend.

re: types of food
have tried rice cereal, pumpkin and potato. kayden seems to prefer bland food. he doesn't like pumpkin or potato. spits them out. sigh... will be trying apple puree today and pear puree next week.

 

[augbaby]

kelly,
thanks for the story abt how u cope when preggy...My FIL kept on telling me to hav 2nd one n hubby dun mind but i am reali concern that i have to split my time bet Jay n the bb..n i dun noe if i will hav eno love for the 2nd bb if i reali try...Jay is now going thru so many diff stages n it is so fun to spend time wif him and experience he learning to crawl, walk subsequently...N i am concern if i reali try for a 2nd one, then i have to pass either jay or the bb over to the maid to take care coz it will not be easy to take care of both myself and i am super not willing to let the maid take care of jay...i juz feel that either one of them will suffer coz they will not be able to have my full attention n love..Sigh...Also i cant imagine going thru the MS in the 1st tri and when tummy bigger, not being able to carry jay etc...

hmm think i am not ready for a 2nd bb...somemore jay is now so young still..maybe when he is abt 1yrs plus then i will consider again...

Piyo, n rest of the mummies going for the aquaducks...
I also dun have sunscreen..but is the pool area going to be under the sun? Coz if yes then 2+ seems like a reali hot time for swimming leh..coz i brought him to see during cny wk at 2pm n its reali hot...also is there facilities to bathe the babies? Not easy to bathe them propertly leh..think can only rinse them n bathe property when we get hm...

Mummies,
Jay loves pumpkin but he seems to dislike apple puree leh..dun noe if it is too sweet for him...coz when i feed him the apple puree wthout mixing, he will make a kind of weird face expression like he dislike it..i tasted the apple puree and it is rather sweet maybe bec after steaming, the natural sweetness comes out..any other veggies/fruits can i add into his rice cereal ah...is the pear those chinese pear that has green skin??

 

[erin00]

hi augbaby,
re: 2nd one
I have the same concerns as u. hence, most prob trying to have the 2nd one when he's 1 yr plus or 2 yrs old.

just fed him apple puree. keke... have the chance to feed him today cos i'm on course. course only starting at 2.30pm. he made weird faces too when i fed him but he still swallow it. i added some plain water to it after giving him a few mouthfuls and he seems to be more able to take it.

i'll be giving him the one with the green skin next wk.

 

[smlow]

hi mummies,
long time didn't login, i was away for during CNY for 1 whole week. so fun to be back home with my parents & relatives

this month's gathring at my place rite?
how abt 24 march? anytime after 1pm.
venue: queenstown.

 

[weddingfairy]

pupsandcups, piyo
hi-5 i was also tiking of gathering cos 2day is 1mar liao mah...hee! hee!


smlow
24mar sounds fine 2 me but hor...i can only b there abt 4pm cos gabe has classes til 315pm.

 

[secret_garden]

Hi Augbb and other Aquaducks mummies,
I just called Aqauducks again... The lift lobby is somewhere near the Nike shop. I asked for sunscreen is cos I am KS... although it's an outdoor pool, they have an area which has shelter/shadow overcast by the tall office buildings of suntec so not to worry. For bathing facilites, they have both male and female bathign facilities and a common one (paerhaps for babies) but anyhow, they mention that the bathing facilities are quite nice

If it happens to rain that day, we can re-arange for another trial... I will sms you all on that day if it really rains... and I am thinking if it really rains, then we wil take the following week 10Mar 2.30pm timing. How about that? then I dun cancel that timing 1st

idea?

Augbb, Erin and butter,
I was about to ask if anyone's babies make weird faces when they taste apple puree cos megan does that too! and like she dun really like lei... hahah so most babies are like that! My mum says maybe it's too sweet or sour?

smlow, I am fine with the timing and venue too!

 

[butter8]

smlow,
count me an baby in... I should be not working already by then.

can PM me the contact details and address - thanks!!!

piyo,
every new food i give him, i love to see the facial expression.

 

[pupsandcups]

hi smlow

GREAT!

24 march, anytime after 1pm.

1) Piyo
2) Kelly (4pm)
3) Adeline
4) Butter8

 

[fio_cms]

butter/babyboy/amy,
yah it's such a waste of milk hor esp the EBM, so when she can't finish, i'll mix into the rice cereal to feed her and hope she'll take it...by the way denise can't stand the teething gel, twice i rub just a teeny bit on her gum and she threw up...pengz >_<

kelly,
it must have been hard work taking care of the elder one while pregnant with another bb...i was thinking of whether i should go ahead and try for the 2nd one now, but denise is kicking so hard at my tummy whenever i carry her(she's really strong), i started to worry about how to go about coping...and she's taken care of solely by me now, really doubt my own ability to take care of 2 babies...

augbaby/erin/butter/piyo,
denise makes funny face when given apple pureed too, so i tried, it does taste a little sourish maybe that's why...haha

 

[fio_cms]

hi whitelady,
are you working? i was thinking whether to attend the baby fair tmr instead, bcos sat is bound to be crowded the very difficult to move around and view stuff...what do you think?

 

[sclaujas]

erin,

yupz, u can opt to turn up for both ttc gatherings or choose the one @ jo's place. she will sms u the add later on..

It is on 10th march..

[aden_mummy]

Hi,

My Aden also made weird faces when given apple puree too. He looked like the food not nice like that. I also tried it and feel that it a little sourish and very sweet.

I also given him potato mash. Also same face at the first try. But better than apple puree. Cos subsequent tries, he's ok with it.

These are the only 2 food I prepare for him, beside bb rice.

My next target is to prepare carrot porridge. Dun know if he would like.

 

[maybellicious]

Can i knw the otr time when u all had the swimming gathering at Leia's plc..where did u all buy the swim diaper ? I went to NTUC fairprice website but cant seem to find it.

 

[joko]

Hi MH,
you can find disposable swim diaper in cold storage...

 

[augustmum]

piyo,

actualy my flat was sold one day after the dec gathering

Moving to yishun, near mrt station again. have many coffee shops (think 6), marts, dry market,shops, police station and community center near my place, all within 5-10 min walk

Only thing is only neighbourhood pri. schools there. Dunno should worry or not since I should be able to teach the kids myself. However, would prefer a mission school cos taught in one myself and like the emphasis on character building.

 

[maybellicious]

Tks Joko.
