Piyo,
The PD did a blood test during 9 mth accessment coz she said at young age some babies do not absorb the Hep B vacc well so not enough, like Jay. Therefore has to take one more at 12mth.
kRis,
So far Jay's ok with Shicida just that he can't really sit still sometimes lo, esp towards the end of the lesson. Will continue this class.
BJG mummies,
I am still consider if want to continue or not? Jay enjoys a lot during BJG class. Next term started will be little walker, any difference in the activities? Piyo, JG billingual started 18mth right?! So seems like in btw can still let them join BJG for a term?

hi everyone...
read about your babies looking for pacifier and soothing themselves to sleep - so cute! my boy dunno how to use... since birth just cry and cry.. not easy to sooth...
now his sleeping pattern is ok by my standards, cuz at least i dun need to carry for long to sleep... and touch wood, so far less middle of the nite wakings unless he is hungry - that is ate lousy dinner.. kekeke
he is one strange boy, has to roll around on my mattress for about 15-25 mins with me nearby.. then he will fall asleep.. he will need a few pillows, bolster and a toy...
must have mummy around, just lying there not saying or doing anything...
strange baby ya?

Hi mummies,
Good morning!
Lunch at RP next Friday, wish I could join in but its my last day of work with my current company and my usual lunch kakis have planned a farewell lunch for me, if its Wednesday then I can join hee...me moving on to another job too after staying for 5.5yrs...wonder how long I can stay in my next job hee...
BJG mummies,
Guess I will let Hannah continue with another term. She's beginning to get used to the style and seems like she is also enjoying it so might as well let her continue till she's 18mths old then will look at other options. Will be fun if all of you stay on as well.
Cocomo,
Hannah seems to like your Jay leh, everytime she sees Jay she gets very excited and will want to go and touch him and sayang him hee, I told Hannah "but Jay likes Megan you know" and she gave me this funny look haa... :")

Butter8,
My girl is also the same as your boy. Was just telling hubby that its amazing how her sleeping pattern changes.
For the first 4 mths, I have to rock Hannah to sleep in the sarong every night and waited till she is sound asleep before transferring her to her cot. After her 4th mth, she suddenly rejected the sarong at night so I would feed her and she will just fall asleep by herself on my lap while I watched TV - that was easy life then. When she's about 9mths old, that period was bad cos she will NOT want to sleep and I will have to rock her to sleep every night by carrying her (or rather by forcing her to sleep). Now at 1yr old, she refused to be rocked to sleep and instead prefers to roll around the bed with me beside her and will fall asleep herself after 10 mins and I will then carry her to her cot. Good thing is she is learning to sleep on her own now, bad thing is I always ended up sleeping early as well with all my chores undone haa...

Hi honeyb and butter,
ya, guess their sleep pattern changes liao. Kayden used to want us to carry him until he sleeps. however, he'll want to lie on the bed with his bolster, turn here and there until he sleeps. takes quite a while though. however, if we want him to sleep earlier, my hb will carry him (also provided if he wants) haha...

Hi piyo,
i'm fine with the change in the date. good for me too cos after that have to go kkh for annual check-up.
u going to sign megan for GUG?
i used to read bedtime stories for Kayden. Then just read an article recently that although it's good to soothe young children to bed, it's not really advisable when it comes to encouraging reading cos some kids would associate reading with sleep.

Piyo & Jes,
Ya floor wth mattress seems more safer.. now she is sleeping mattress lo. So was thinking if the bed do better or not. Nat love to shift all over the bed 360! Recently she learn somersault.. so dangerous! Recent she really do it and show to me I was so afraid she might twist her neck! Scold also wont listen... think I m more like dad fierce and hubby was the soft one.
I not at RP too.. used to be at TP but going to move on at Jurong East (near my hse & future to place natalie childcare easier).
Piyo,
I haven start her on reading as she still prefer to watch ELMO (VCD i bought) before her sleep. Its more like singing to relax her. She prefer her book reading (as if really reading hahaha!) when I was with her weekend morning before bring her go Jalan.
Seems now our toddlers are showing more and more style & pattern to us! Standing, climbing on us etc!!! Is it ok to let toddlers take any food after 1yo? OF cos not deep fried etc. Like FISH, can we opt for other "brand"?, All sorts of vege instead just a few?
Have all start giving ur toddlers rice?

Hi mummies,
Thanks for accomodating to my timing next week, let's see if the rest of the mummies can join.
Piyo,
My new office is at Novena Sq, quite convenient, can hop around to scout for classes for Hannah to attend during lunch hee...any mummies currently working at or around Novena Sq?
Butter8,
I almost accepted a job offer at Changi Business Park but after consideration, think its too far from where I stay...prefer to stick to town area for the convenience.
Erin,
I was initially comtemplating whether to read to Hannah before she sleeps but on one hand I want to create a soft environment to induce her to sleep and on the other hand the soft light is not good for our eyes so now confirmed I will not do it already haa..

I also not sure how she do it! From a start she keep like to see us from upside down from her knees and one day I saw she do it! I only worry will hurt her neck cos too fragile n too young. The more tell her not to do it SHE DO IT on purposely! Gosh don't know what is in their brain!
Charlotte speak so fast? She walking more now?That is real fast. Nat only start to say PAPA, MIMI not mama! Funny.. maybe inlaw and everyone in the family keep saying mummie here mummie etc so she say mimi instead.. She seems to prefer B when I flash card to her. Other than that nothing else.. except keep pointing disturbing my dog la, scream at home, stand herself very long, cruise ard using furniture again. I think all these is the most basic she can do liao. Still waiting for her teeth to be out! ONLY 2 bottom.. no sign from top leh haiz.
HoneyB,
Marmit? Is it those bottle type outside? I didnt try that. Nat porridge very simple, fish & vege OR pork/chicken vege. I make sure she has 3 meals a day, 3 milk a day too... and at least 2 serving of fruits & vege. She seems v slow in poo.. only alt days & sometime hard. SHE HATE WATER! Force her and try all ways. Nw try give her own boil barley water too lo. She also don't lik Gripe water! This is a strange toddler

Marmite is this mix vege black substance that they use to mix in babies' porridge. They also have Vegemite (which I supposed is the same thing) and Bouvil ( I think its this spelling) with the beef extract, supposed to be good stuffs for kids (but honestly I hate to eat that when I was young). When mixed with porridge, it becomes very tasty but I'm not sure if its really that good.

i thought marmite is very salty? I had that when i was young but back at that time we were already exposed to sauces from young (at least for me lah). So ever since I had porridge, my ah gong who takes care of me already add light soya sauce, marmite and give me food with seasoning. Not like now when we are more careful of what we give our babies and avoid salty stuff.
Now u ask me, i won;t give that to Justin becos i think its very salty and the taste very strong.

actually is marmite nutritious?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite
Read above,Marmite has salt/sodium etc, not something I will give.
I'm thinking our parents and our grandparents used to give us because they have less resources to buy a many different types vegetables for us to make the porriage taste better thus they resort to using Marmite.
gtg for lunch..

Mummies,
I read the Web that amy pasted. Marmita seems to have lots of nutritions, thats why older generations they will give it to the kids.
but our bb are too young so many wait till 2-3yrs old then give not now.

Learning wise, I find that Jadon learns v fast when I show him the real thing than if I show him flashcards.
Brought him to the Underwater World yes'day (his birthday) to look at the fishes. And there was this pool full of rays... and they were like flapping and splashing around while the staff feed them sotong. You can also touch them. V kewl! I was as amazed as he was and keep telling him to "Look at the rays!". We were at the Underwater World for about an hour, and before we left, bought a toy ray for him. I made the toy ray swim like the way we saw them swim in the pool to try to create that association/link between what we had seen earlier, and this toy we're getting. On the way home, the toy ray was sitting in the car and when I asked him where the ray is, he can pick out the toy for me without hesitation!
I never quite point out balloons to him until his birthday celebration last Saturday. We have some leftover balloons that's lying around at home. I gave him a balloon to hold and feel and play. This morning, I asked him where the balloon is, and he can look in the direction of the ballon.
By seeing the real thing, you actually get to "experience" it in a way which you wouldn't if you had just watch it on tv or in a picture card. I feel that he won't be able to learn as fast if I had shown him a flashcard of a balloon instead of the real thing. The next step would then be to make him recognise the written word "balloon".
What I cannot quite agree is showing flashcards of words without them having made the association between the word and the object. That's not really meaningful learning to me. Just some thoughts and observations I've made on a rainy Thursday afternoon...
Brought him to the Underwater World yes'day (his birthday) to look at the fishes. And there was this pool full of rays... and they were like flapping and splashing around while the staff feed them sotong. You can also touch them. V kewl! I was as amazed as he was and keep telling him to "Look at the rays!". We were at the Underwater World for about an hour, and before we left, bought a toy ray for him. I made the toy ray swim like the way we saw them swim in the pool to try to create that association/link between what we had seen earlier, and this toy we're getting.

leia,
i totally agree....if we tell him the name of the object a few times, they will be able to associate it wif it and can point the object to us..like for me, jay for an ernie toy and over then i will show him "wat is ernie" and then now when i ask him, where is ernie, he can pick up the correct toy from all the other toys he has in his playpen and give it to me...n i know its not a concidence coz we tried it many times...same also for objects like lights n fan...even when we r at resturants, n i ask him where is the fan, he can even use his finger to point it out to me...at first when he dun noe how to use his finger to point, he will look in the direction of the object...

hi Leia, Kris, Augbaby,
Yes, the flashing of just words alone will not work as "fast" for the kids to make the association, compared to showing them the real object.
A suggestion:
if this week you are flashing say, words on sea creatures (dory, stingray, cuttlefish, squid, jellyfish etc).. and you are planning a trip to underwater world, try to point & say the same words that you flash.. THe babies really pick up very fast, cos the association between the words and the pictures will be made cos of 1 linking point: THE SOUND OF THE WORDS BEING PRONOUNCED!!
I try to let jadelle see the items in real life and i change it accordingly week by week when we go out.. is really fun actually! You get to see things from your baby's eyes!
