afcai,
me pumping 3 times now.. usually it's 6am, 1pm and 9-10pm.. each time pump 1/2 hour.. else i won't hav enough milk for the day.. i still can't bear to pump less leh.. already heartpain when my ss drop fr plentiful to so little.. hai~~ hubby oso very supportive of me continue pumping.. so i guess i will continue until i really no ss lor...
 
speaking abt 1st birthday celebration:

i hav booked 3d2n chalet to celebrate jav 1st bday. will b inviting relatives n friends to jav bday party. i hav ordered buffet n cake already.. mi a kaisu mummy. m looking forward for the day to come.


roo,
i let jav sleep on those normal single-size mattress. i also place a piece of "ciao xi" below the mattress so tat to avoid the dampness on the floor to get into jav's body.
jav also dun sleep well in his playpen n woke up often. therefore i decided to let him sleep on the mattress on the floor.

zion,
my hub also not veri useful in taking care of jav. but he help mi wif the hse work, like vacuum, mop the floor, wash javier clothes, milk bottle. Mayb u can get ur hub to help wif the these chores also.
u mus let him know tat taking care of ehtan @ nite is not as easy for us, working mummy. there r few times, i nearly make mistake at work due to my tireness.
 
serene
letting bb sleep on the matress, won't Jav flip and move out of the mattress. I have ever tried to placed 2 single mattress join together at pil's hse and then co-sleep with tx.while this sleeping mummy doze off, when I woke up after hearing a eh eh eh sound, tx is at the entrance of the door.

LiL
thks. do yr hubby help in hsehold too? every night, hubby will sterlise the milk storage bottle and pump for me.heng man or else I dun have time to do that. sometimes, i do take a short 1 hr nap before I woke up and wipe dry the bottles and then proceed to my pump.

Qianhui
me too, I also won't do photbook for tx. cos like my wedding photo album, already 'dump' inside my storage rm to 'rot' or collect dust. like what sh mentioned, we also frame up the photo and then stick onto the wall(use bluetact). in my mbr, our rom and wedding photo are pasted onto the wall liao.

shihui
oic, thks for sharing the pumping time. currently, I pumped at 6am, in betw 1230-1250 (after my lunch), 7pm and then 12 midnight.last time, i pumped for half an hr but now only pump for 15-20 mins, only pump out all the milk I have and then stop liAO and dun wait for second let down which can be done in another 10 mins. my hubby now not supportive liao, ask me to stop loh.

ask u with regard to the ice brick, I have tried the ice brick liao and carry the ebm for abt 3hr+. the ebm is still cooling after that. wondering can the ebm be taken out for long if ice brick is included into the cooler bag? previously, what I know is ebm must not be taken out for more than 6hrs if not, it will spoilt so wondering if got the ice brick, can it take out more than 6hrs?? any idea??

also if the ice brick has been used for that current day and it has not mel and u dun intend to use the next day, will you place it back to freezer or let it melt outside? any advice? thks.
 
serene,
wah.. u really fast leh.. so fast order everything liao..
happy.gif


afcai,
wah... TX wants to go gai gai ah.. so cute when she's at the door hor? but really gives mommy a scare...

if hubby not supportive, very tiring.. coz i always need help while i'm pumping away.. he got to entertain PH etc.. he's so supportive bcoz i always tell him how much he saved by giving PH BM instead of FM.. i think we can easily save more than $1k if we persist pumping till bb 1 year old.. :p who knows, i may continue pumping until 2nd one comes along.. :p van told me tt ss will auto decrease drastically when preg.. so i can dun bother to wean off lor.. let nature do its job.. hehehe.. :p for my next one, i will try to pump as long as possible too.. :p planning to sell away my current pump aft i stop pumping.. den, i will buy PIS for my next one.. hahahahahaa... :p

for the ice brick hor, usually i bring out for 4-5hours onli.. but when i'm a work, i usually put the milk in the cooler bag for at least 8 hours.. :p PH has been drinking the milk n he got no prob with it.. so i guess it's okie.. :p

i will place the ice brick back into freezer.. coz i use it everyday.. but tt time i kiasu, bought 2 ice bricks.. so the other one i put in fridge.. juz to keep it cold.. so tt in any case when i need an extra one, the one in the fridge can be transferred to the freezer n it will be ready for use within a while..
happy.gif
 
mbb, drunkard better than not moving! :p

sylk..hahhaa... r's growth spurt so cute! increase both milk intake and stuffing herself with solid :p

zion, keep cool! my sis was still saying that day (cos i was talking abt bringing kate to taka mooncake fair using carrier) that women everything (obstacle) also can, while men, everything also canot! ethan really sleep alot during daytime! is he very cranky when he sleep around midnight? if yes, then maybe he is sleepy but too playful to wana sleep. did u grind the 5 grain before cooking it or just dump the whole thing inside? does it take a longer time to cook than normal porridge? i got one pack but have not started yet :p me have recovered liao... and hb help out these 2 days for one of the midnight feeds. u check with my pt cleaner re ur location, cos my pl also abt 1 hr from her home she is also ok with it...

roo, ahhahah.yes the forum is a very persuasive place :p think hb wil go crazy if he need to change diaper every 3 hrs.. think its time i change diaper brand liao!

afcai, wow tx also know how to walk liao! the bbs here are all so fast! u lucky ur hb good lah..my hb still help out once in a while lah..but wish he can do more!

Lil, kate is high class like her papa.dont like to household chores one :p i think maybe i should target ewan as my SIL ahahahah.. then my kate got good life liao :p
 
Hello mummies

JT just broke her own record yesterday. I think for the entire day, her milk intake was only abt 200ml!!! those are the ones I managed to mix into her cereals. She totally reject drinking milk, latch or EBM. She loves drinking water using her sippy cup, but when she taste that it's EBM or isomil, she'll pui pui everything out. I'm so angry and exhausted..... i mean since she can drink water thro the cup, means that her gums are not that painful rt?? Wat's up with this milk rejection thing?!?!?! Yesterday, the whole day was spent trying to coax her to drink milk in all ways and means, then after tat is major clean up.... it was repeated like 6 times yesterday... so it was basically hell for both JT and me.... she was basically crying and crying the whole day, and I was just going beserk.... Discussed with hubby liao, if she really dun wan milk, then we just have to make her isomil more concentrated and mix into the cereal... anyway, she's willing to drink lots of water.... Think I'll stop forcing her to drink.. aiyo....

LiL
Haha... blowing out food... been there, done tat!!! think now I know why Ewan kept eyeing JT at QH's house, cos they really sama sama one!

Bloom
Ooi.... I am targeting Ewan to be my SIL hor!!!

Choo
I dun mind JT self weaning if she is willing to drink milk from other sources... now she is not willing to drink milk at all... real headache...so you better make sure ivan is willing to drink from other sources before he weans off....

Sylk
please take good care...
 
fcai
My hb wld help wif hsework if he has time lor but hor he travels alot n doesn't come home until v late one. So when he comes home I wan him to spend time with Ewan n not do hsework lor. That's hy I hv PT cleaner who comes in twice a week to help me otherwise I sure die liao.

Bloom
Sorry me fussy MIL wor, will make sure Ewan chooses a low maintenance wife ;)

Dora
Aiyo poor thing. Have u seen ur PD for a better solution or not. There is this high calorific milk (by similac but not pediasure) meant for babies who r not eating well. Maybe they hv a soy version(???). My PD asked us to give E tat when he was on hunger strike. We also had to up his solid food intake to 3 times a day.

Dora, I love to c JT's ears leh...she has what they call buddha's ears...next time v hao ming one ahh

Shihui,
Paging, paging.....Can help me to collect the body shaper from beanieok????? Than i pick up from you on weekend. Muack, muack...
 
argh!!! help... ethan is super cranky last nite... slept only at 1am!!! rock him oso cannot, off the lights oso cannot... in e end let him crawl ard e bed ehh ehh-ing then doze off by himself at 1am... omg... was so tired was drowsy till ethan dozed off... cant even remember wat he did... luckily hb was so guai he help me look after... he oso help to prepare milk, refill milk powder container n wash bottle last nite... b4 he sleep dat is... tot he really wanna help me this time... but in the end, when ethan slept n i dozed off beside him, hb went out... said to find more money earning lobang... dunno real anot... not the first time liao... told him b4 if he go out must remember to wake me up went he comes back... but then last nite he din wake me up!!! not the first time oso... then in the end ethan missed his feed... when i finally wake up at 5.30am n try to feed him, he rejected!!! omg!!! he hasnt have any milk since 10+pm... really scared he will have a lot of wind in his stomach... haiz... think its teething... when his teeth coming out??? then when i bring him to mil place at abt 7.15am told mil he hasnt had milk yet... i prepare milk liao mil feed him he actually finished e milk in 5 mins, sleeping... then mil say he will be sleeping v well with stomach full now...

haiz... poor ethan... got 1 small cut below his right eye... got a shock when i saw it... fil say cos he in the walker cheong into e kitchen saw e foldable cover for covering food n pull... then e sharp edge cut accidently cut his face lor... aiyoh... hope he dun puo4 xiang4 though he is not a ger... but its blessing in disguise... ILs decided to wean him off the walker liao... haiz... must wait until really got accident then decided its dangerous... but thank goodness his eyes r not hurt...

mummies,
thnx for all ur comments n suggestions...

roo,
thnx for e urls... hopefully can get 1 asap since ethan cannot use e normal walker liao... hee...

afcai,
dat day was the earliest i slept... usually i sleep ard 1-3am... then wake up at 6am sometimes 6.30am... in btw wake up at 4+am for bb feed...

wah... e walker so cheap ar... sec hand wan ar? dun really like sec hand bb stuff unless i know e bb who previously used e items... v pantang... hee...

u r lucky... a pc of paper oso can get tx attention... it can get ethan's attention e most 5 secs... recently found something dat really can catch ethan's attention... a musical lantern... catch his attention for 30 secs... sometimes diaper change plus clothing change...

serene,
lucky u... ur hb still help doing housework... mine only knows how to sit on e sofa n shake legs... getting more n more like my dad whom i dun like... cos he made my mum looks like huang lian po... we have already came to an agreement b4 we get married dat we will share e housework... i even wanted to draw a timetable... but he say no need lah... we juz remember when to do wat lor... but in e end i was e one doing everything till now... even when i was preggie i still have to do... he only help to wash clothes once in a while... i still have to wash e toilet with my big tummy... after i give birth he a bit more hardworking will mop e floor once every week... now i have to do everything by myself... i can only do at night when everyone goes to sleep so i m now super sleep deprived...

bloom,
he is not cranky leh... he crawl ard on e bed n self entertain lor... sometimes he will turn ard n see if i m looking at him... if i m then he smile at me n turn away lor... then we he tired liao he juz snuggle beside me n doze off lor...

i nv cook at hm cos i dunno how to... hee... mil grind e 5 grain first b4 cooking... dunno e cooking time cos she throw into slow cooker n let it cook on its own...

dora,
omg... is jt teething? cos ethan oso rejects milk liao... but he takes solids more so think its ok... btw ethan knows how to suck his upper lip too...
 
dora,
ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! u just reminded me o my 'dark times' when mandy 1st started teething! hhehehe... but seriously, i noe how extremely tough it is. erm, my advise is 2 let her haf her way. now tt she's bigger liao, milk intake is not tt impt. so dun force it. i noe it's easier said than done cos SO MUCH is at stake. it may end up ruining ur entire day or nite. it took me a tremendous amt o courage 2 let go oso. but i cldn't take it liao anyway. if u see tt she's already developed a dislike or phobia 4 feeding time, then hafta let go liao. must win bk her trust 1st. let her tink tt feeding time is nt a torture or a battle. or else nothing wld work liao. good luck!
mandy's rejecting food oso, teething again. but nt as serious lah.
btw, JT's getting prettier n prettier!
happy.gif


lil,
yeah, like dora, been there done tt. she started doing tt many many mths ago liao. cleaning is a torture. now no more. just (just?) smacking food n milk nia!

afcai,

hi mommies,
been a long time since my last post.. busy busy with my life, dealing / solving my family problem as my mom fell sick.

Hi Doggiebb,
tks for the update and will pay you on the day itself. Cya on sun n looks fwd to see other babies/mommies as well.

Yesterday Hayley turns 10th month old.
Sharing below pics .. as usual we got her a cake. hee to train her to cut and poses for her 1st bday.

990079.jpg


990080.jpg



Btw, would appreciate if other mummies can exchange on yur bb's intake daily on food/milk. Recently my Hayley has been reduced to 3 times of milk feeding i/o 4 times. However many FM milk tin indicated that bbs should have 4 times of milk feeding.

1) Morn feed = 220-240ml BM + 2 tbsp oat cereal + fruit puree

2) Lunch = 2-3 tbsp eu ren sheng brown rice or porridge + 2 veg puree + 1 fruit puree

3) 3pm = 220-240ml BM

4) Dinner = 5 tbsp instant cereal OR 2-3 tbsp eu ren sheng brown rice + 2 veg puree + 1 fruit puree

5) Last feed = 240ml BM

Does her intake seem reasonable? coz I worry if i reduced too much of her milk intake.
 
gan,
i tink hayley eats like triple e qty o mandy's. hhehehehe. as long as she's growing well n seems full n happy, i tink it's ok lah. mandy only has 2 milk feedings n she drinks not more than 140ml each feed. n she eats on avg 3/4 bb bowl o solids 4 each o e 3 solid feedings. def less than hayley's.
biggrin.gif

i always wonder how bbs like hayley can eat so much!
 
hi kimi,
tks for assuring me.. Hayley so far seem satisfied with her current diet. Coz when I start to worry when my friend told me this is no-n regards to her reduced times of milk feeding.
happy.gif


I still find Mandy has grown more chubby lor.. always with her sweet dimpled smiles.
happy.gif

How you planning to celebrate her 1st bday?
 
gan,
no prob. o cos i still worry once in a while bcos she is so small n light. but so far, all e docs i saw said she's fine. so i'll hfata trust them n trust tt i'm doing a gd-enof job. hehehe. i dunno wat else 2 do liao act.

thx 4 ur compliments. i visit ur blog regularly. i must say, hayley is one o e happiest bb i know.
happy.gif


no big celebrations. just a small cosy dinner w immed family members. then maybe a small gathering at home w our frens.
 
morning ladies... today i got panda eyes again... hee... slept at 2am last nite... but ethan slept early wor... at 10.45pm... actually stay up to wait for hb to come hm... know now y he din wake me up when he comes hm... last nite say will be back ard 11-12... in e end 2am then come back... argh... ignore him for e whole nite... this morning overslept... luckily not late...

gan,
think hayley eats more than ethan... not v sure his intake but this is wat i know...

1) 7+am - 150ml FM

2) 10+am - white bread with FM or 5 tbsp of instant cereal

3) 2+pm - a bowl of 5 grain porridge + potato + carrot + fish + spinach + 1 fruit puree

4) 6+pm - a bowl of 5 grain porridge + potato + carrot + fish + spinach + 1 fruit puree

5) 9+pm - 150ml FM

6) 12-1am - 120ml FM

7) 4-5am - 120ml FM (sometimes may miss this feed)

wah... looking at ethan's diet, like no variety liddat... any recipes to intro?

haiz... think i m really a useless mum... dunno son's diet n havent plan for his 1st bday... liddat how to be mum??? haiz...
 
Shihui
whenever anyone say bye bye to her, her head will turn to the door. yup, scare me man when I suddenly found she is not beside me. she even smile at me. ai-yo, I scared she just no licence one, flip or sit then just turn over and then knock her head onto the floor (few times liao), stare at me and then burst into tear.

same same, need help also while pumping. usually, when hubby not ard on sat morning - noon then I will make tx slp first. if she dun slp then I will just carry her and then sit on the high chair. now, scared liao cos leave her on my bed, she digged out of the pillow and then squeeze thru it and dropped with a thud sound on the floor. it happened twice even when she slp and then sudden wake up while I was pumping.

haa..same here, i also told hubby, i ready save u a lot giving tx bm liao instead of fm. but won't u find bf movement restriction and time consuming loh, that 's what the 'price' to pay? what is PIS stand for? is this PIS pump similar to those hospital type (if i dun remember wrongly, Van also buy one which cost a lot). why want to sell away, current one not gd meh??

err...yr co no fridge to store ebm? u bring bck PH home daily??

bloom
no no lah, tx dunno how to walk. she still dun dare to pull herself up. tonite, we will bringing her home liao and I have lower down her playpen and then raise up with her mattress and my quilt cover and will see if she can pull herself up or not.

her legs still wobbly, walk a bit with support then sit down (like her backside very heavy) and then crawl liao.


dora
tx also faced this problem too. her intake of milk on weekend is only 300+ so I needed to let her excersie more (let her flip, crawl etc) so tha she will be hungry to consume milk.

hmm isomil is is a type of FM?

JT sucking upper lick, maybe her upper gum itchy loh.sometimes, tx also suck her lip too but usually, she will grab handi to bite instead of teeth ring (dun seem to like)

zion
wow, Ethan slp so 'early'...omg, facing a cranky bb is no joke. last week on sat morning, as I have not enu slp (usually not enu), i was very cranky. bec tx woke up at 3am and dun wan o slp (i only slp at 0140am and got to wake up at 3am to entertain this xiao jie, hubby also not co-operate and I got to pump at 6am or 7am), tx also dun wan to drink milk and 'pui' all over. this made me so fed up that i scolded her.she just stared at me.

huh, yr hubby go out so 'early' morning?? err...yr hubby work so late one huh?

Ethan still got night feed?? ok, mah, tx last feed is 8pm++ then she will not be having any feed liao till 6 or 7am(but my mum plc is 5am). maybe Ethan is not hungry that time mah....tot, if bb is hungry then they will wake up and will call u instead of u waking up to let them drink the milk (do Ethan wake up at 4am++ as usual??). my col is telling me if bb slp, dun wake him up, he will auto wake up if he is hungry mah, dun make it a habit loh.

oh, sayang sayang Ethan. usually, boy is more playful/active than gar mah. hai...agreed that one must wait until really got accident then decided to do something...that's the issue which i dun support walker and also the yao lan but my mum insisted to have them...what to do??

err...hubby like "da po gong"?? hai....u give him a extremey tired and gronchy face look loh. now, i'm still bf, dunno will hubby stop helping me with hsework after that or not? cos when we move in, most (90%) of the hsework are done by me until I'm preggie. then all hsework, hubby took over. think u need to find some opportunity to talk to him again.

dun say u useless mummy, every mummy also learn how to take care of bb mah,...we are not born super, man and woman are equal now (but man dun think that), taking care of kids and hsehold etc shd be shared unless the man has the traditional thinking that woman must be the one who can stand in the kitchen and also out of workplace type. dun stress yrself for the sake of Ethan, cheers....

Gan
wow, Hayley 's intake of food is gd man....tx dun seem to able to take so much ebm in one shot (200-240) except first feed (but recently, need to coax her as she took long time to finish unlike last time, with this 240ml, she can finish within 5 mins).

wow, her every intake of food include fruit and veg leh....tx only eat banana during dinner time. on sun, I gave her apple. like what kimi has said, she also eat tripple qty tx eat. at my mum 's plc, she has 5 milk feed (4 feed of 125ml and 1 feed of 150ml) + 3 solid meal (include 2 teaspoon of apple/museli cereal for morning, eu ren sang brown rice for lunch, biscuit for tea time and 1 big bowl of porriage for dinner).

ask u what is the feeding interval time u give to hayley between dinner feed and last feed?

kimi
same same, me also no big celebrations for ist birthday. I have the same idea as u.

arrr seem it likes a nap time now. boss dunno why today MIA did not see him, 2 of the col on leave and 1 on mc. I wanted to take leave(for my birthday today) but can't.sian....
 
Saw this advertisement in yesterday St, sg. there wll be a toy 'R" us sale at Safra toa poyah today for UOB, Safra card + dunno which card member today. for weekend, then it will be opened to the public.fyi.

Zion
thks for the wishes....feel so sleepy...yawn. but can finally wait till fri liao...yippee cos can bring tx back.

so how r u now? why not take leave and have a gd rest?
 
afcai,
me oso v sleepy... haiz... take leave oso no use wan... oso have to take care of ethan... still have to 'work'... take leave like din take leave liddat... wasted...

aiyah... nowadays hb always have excuse to go out at nite... he work office hrs wan... he got 1 col staying nearby... then like everyday oso ask hb go drink coffee... dunno y got so much to tok abt meh??? last nite he say was unofficial meeting with lady boss n a few cols... dunno real anot... ask bil tonite... he oso present last nite...

when ethan juz started to sleep thru e nite, i got missed his nite feed... then he end up with stomach full of wind... now dun dare to miss nite feeding liao... if really missed e time, will try to feed at 6am... i usually dun wake him up for feed... juz stick e teat into his mouth then he will drink lor... he will wake up by himself if heis really v hungry... but i try to avoid dat cos he will be screaming his head off... hee...

haiz... no pt giving hb e extremely tired n grouchy look lor... he will return a puzzled look n ask me y i look so tired... he will nv understand y i m always so tired... cos when i m still doing hsework in e middle of e nite, he is already warm in his bed... but no pt telling him dat oso... he will always say 'ask u to sleep early u dun wan... dunno wat u doing until so late oso...' haiz... if i sleep early who do all e hsework???? ask him to pay for e PT cleaner he oso grumble... dunno wat he wan oso... haiz... dunno when i will collapse due to overwork...
 
Hi zion,
but mummy still need to rest to recharge stamina mah(that's what i do alternate fri). hmm u cannot take leave to rest at hm and then as usual carry Ethan to yr in law's hse and took him bck the same timing as usual loh. do yr hubby accompany u in the morning to send Ethan to law 's hse ?


hmm do be careful when u ask bil cos yr hubby might misunderstood/
sad.gif
that u would track his movement. yup, agreed, where 's got so much talk? in office, see col not sian meh. instead of playing with bb why he go and meet the col and drink coffee. ai-yo....

missed feeding got wind meh , how do u know? of cos, tell yr hubby that u are doing hsework lah.my hubby also told me this, ask u go and slp early u dun want too. but I told him that I hardly have time to check my email. so have to dig out slp time to do that once/twice per wk. maybe one fine day, u dun do (wash clothes etc), see how he react.
 
afcai,
aiyoh... not nice for mil to look after ethan while i rest mah... she oso no time to rest wan mah... hb help to lock door after i go out then go separate ways after dat...

"in office, see col not sian meh. instead of playing with bb why he go and meet the col and drink coffee." haha... ya lor... luckily ethan slept early last nite... or think i will be catching dragon (in hokkien) liao...

mil say ethan stomach a lot of wind cos he keep eh ne... then can see stomach bloated... can hear hollow sound when patting his stomach... according to mil, usually missed feeding will have wind cos nothing inside stomach except air mah once digested...

aiyoh... tell him i doing hsework he will say y do in e middle of e nite etc... then if i say some more it will be long long story liao... so rather shut my mouth... there was a few times where i forgot to wash clothes... he actually reminded me n say e washing machine is overflowing liao... haiz... n he is ok with dirty floor n furniture lor... but i m not cos ethan will be crawling all over lor... n e floor mats got to wash occasionally oso... cos ethan likes putting floor mats into his mouth when we did not notice...

haiz, haiz, haiz... so it seems like i m fated to be huang lian po liao...
 
Hi Zion,
ai-yo, dun tell yr mil lah and dun felt guilty of taking leave to rest. even u can take 1/2 day to rest , it would be better than nothing else. my col told me the caregiver(esp mummy, u still need to do hsehold) must be in the gd health in order to look after the bb.
so for the sake of Ethan and health, do not felt guilty loh. that's my pt of view.

sometimes, I took leave also to clear tx's stuff etc and then rest. i think if in the long term wise, it is not gd for yr health (tough, I'm bf, i also dead tired liao but still can tong).

do take care of yrself before one fall sick. hope Ethan will sayang and appreciate what mummy u) did for him when he grew up.
 
afcai,
ya... ur col is right... but sometimes i feel dat i m more healthy than hb n mil... cos i know how impt it is to be healthy... so watever i do, i always have the 'die-die-oso-cannot-fall-sick' attitude...

Mummies,

Any one interested in taking over Isabelle's slot for Kindermusik this Sunday?? She has running nose.. so better not go and infect all the other kids there...

Details are as wat's posted by doggie earlier...
Thanks so much...
 
Hi Zion,

hi mummies,

yesterday nite, mi went to my colleague's wedding diner. Entrusted jav to my hub care. Before i left for the wedding diner, hub fed jav his diner. i also instructed him to last milk- feed him around 9pm to let jav sleep. I smsed hub around 8plus to see how he coping wif jav. hub told mi jav was playing happily wif him toys Then smsed hub again at 9.30pm to check if jav zzz already. Hub smsed mi @ 10pm tat jav cheated him for milk n refused to zzz. hub no choice continued play wif him. Told hub to lay side by side wif jav n pat him to sleep. After the diner ended around 11pm, hub smsed mi tat jav finally fell asleep on his own as he was too tired. SIGH...hub too dependent on mi to take care of jav. i am the one who tuck jav to sleep by 9 every nite. my hub was telling mi he dun hav the patience to pat jav to sleep.
 
Hi Afcai/xWpInGxW,
tks for sharing the food intake.

Hi xWpInGxW,
I found that u have done a good job.. ethan seems to have a very well balance diet, veg/fruit/fish for nearly each meal. My mum do not have time to prepare porridge during weekday, so she got to make do with whatever frozn puree I gave her for Hayley's meal. Last 2 wk, I started to cook fish porridge at home during wkend for Hayley and so glad she like it too and finish all

Hi Afcai,
Hayley dinner feed is bet 4.30-5.30pm and her last milk feed is 8.30pm.

Those attend the trial kindermusik class today,
nice to meet all the mommies and babies today. All the babies have grown so much since our last gathering. Hayley does has an wonderful time during the class, giggling her way all the time and look so happy in the class. I almost want to sign her up for the class but due to the location which is inconvenient for us, decide to drop the idea. Will lookout for similar courses avail at United Square which is nearer to my home instead. Anyone got other recomendation?
 
Hey mommies,
Hayley is fully exhausted today. Coz after the class, we rushed to another friend's place to visit her newborn bb boi. She is so tired since missed her afternoon nap and finally dozed off at 8pm i/o 9pm.

So nice to see all the mummies and babies again!
Hmmm, i've decided not to sign hannah up for kindermusik...i think it's erm...not interesting enough for her at this stage. I guess she's used to variety at BJG and this is 45 mins of what BJG has about 15mins of (plus other things). Of cos, it's a good program too, but probably some other time. There's not enough physical movement/exploration for her. I'm going to try a trial at Gymboree next week. :p
The Julia Gabriel class was quite fun too (thanks OCH for arranging for that!
happy.gif
) as it as a variety of activities to keep bbs engaged. My hb and i were so impressed by the teachers...all very animated! haha! But, too bad, all classes are weekdays and me no SAHM... maybe when hannah's older...

Finally I get to meet some mummies from this thread. Nice to meet the mummies and babies from the kindermusik trial.

need advice with regard to carrier and sling...

what type of carrier and sling can both support the weight of bb until to??

thks. dunno why preloved lucky bb carrier (those $29.90 type) is wobble when carry tx. think it is too big for me.


doggie
where' the gymboree located? is it mrt accessible?
 
afcai

ergo can carry bb up to 40lbs, approx about 18kg. i personally don't like these front facing carriers because they hang the babies by the groin and the weight is on the spine. ergo makes babies sit down instead of hanging them by the groin.

i think there is one gymboree at tanglin mall, saw it yesterday when i went for the kindermusik trial. not sure if they have other outlets!

Zion
maybe u would like to have a view of this type of high chair with flat legs and can be convert to chair in this thread.

doggie
thks. tot sitting down instead of handing them by the groin is better so that bb are not that wobble. someone mentioned b4 that ergo does not allow bb to carry face out there. I would like carrier that can hold bb face in and out.

Have tried to search for gymboree on the net but co prevent me fr accessing some of the pages so give up accessing. think there is a free class when one print the coupon out.
 
afcai,
thnx for e link... i m actually looking for something like this... but not keen on sec hand ones... mil dun like... rather get 1st hand... found a few brands... but decided Jane Activa high chair is better... dunno if there is anywhere selling for less than $200...
