Alamak! When I decided to participate in the Food Diary, i really was just expecting to send in the Food Diary, have some nutritionist analyse my food intake and then email me a report or something.
What I DID NOT expect was to be required to meet the pple at Raffles Hospital, have photo taken and be in the papers! I really dun want to publicise my weight to the world. But by then, it was too late and I felt too paiseh to turn them down. You know, i even tried delay tactic hoping they will just get enough stories and forget me. I delayed the meeting at Raffles Hospital for 3 weeks! But in the end, cannot run...
And then now, see my fat face on papers...*groan*. worse, apparently, yesterday my fat face appeared too...my frens sms me.
I didn't even know! now everybody know my weight hor...
embarrassed.gif
 
morning ladies,

Bobianah!!!
Hi-5, I finally found someone who gained as much wt as me during preggie wahahaha
happy.gif
and haven't lost it completely too... I TBF ok... still got abt 3 kg to go... stuck there for the past 7 mths liao
sad.gif


The food at that buffet is ok lah... it's like wat you get at those teochew porridge stalls outside lor... its good if you like teochew porridge and you like variety and you have very few pple, cos outside you can't possible order so many dishes for just 2 pax mah..... I would say value for money....of cos the quality of food cannot be compared with those hotel buffet lah cos the price also poles apart

Aiyo poor hannah.... hope she gets well soon.

Kimi
yah, she slept for >2hrs! She slept in the car on the way from orchard to suntec, when we moved her to the stroller, she continued sleeping!! We had to wake her up at 1.45pm to have her lunch!! if not she'll probably be able to sleep for 3hrs I think! She missed her morning nap totally mah... and so much exciting activities made her so tired hehehe
happy.gif
By the way haven't thank you for making the arrangement, JT enjoyed herself very much, much more than Gymboree... except very difficult to find "cheap" parking there :p
My hand is ok liao... minor scratch nia... but hubby was appalled that I fell with JT in my arms... he banned me from wearing that pair of shoes again :p

Lil
Wah... your mum got any secrets to taking care of bb/toddlers or not?? Must share share leh... eh... Ewan doesn't look like a girl mah!! Hehehe... we must let JT and E meet sometime again
happy.gif


Sylk
Oh my!!! Regina is really cute in that pose!! She looks like a 2-3 year old toddler!
happy.gif


Roo
Ok lah.. at least Denise looks like you.. this JT now dunno look like who liao.... used to look like me when she is born.... now look like neither one of us leh...
 
dora,
how much u gained?? me practically gained more than 10kg during preggie n i m still stuck... lost only 2kg now... look so ugly now...
 
Dora
Hi 5!!!! Well, I'm glad my "weight revelation" made you feel better! heehee! The doctor was telling me, if I TBF, wld hv lost more wt cos wld burn up more fat...oh well...I think mine is more a case of lack of exercise.

jackie
:p i usually take the Mind Your Body or Urban section with me to read on the bus ride to work. I oso hardly get to read the papers.
 
kimi,
shd b denise look like mandy since mandy is older. haha...
size doesn't matter lah. I more concern abt the motor skills n well being. The bbs are all very attentive and responsive to the class that day even PH n JT who are younger than Denise. She only interested in the rubber seat pad. Mayb I din expose her enuff to intereact with her peers.
uhoh.gif


sylk,
R is so cute!!!!!!!!!

bobianah,

bobianah,
Denise seemed to has the power of slimming everyone. when my dad went for minor opt in march, I lost 2 kgs within a week taking care of her. My parents and hubby are oso 1-2kg lighter now
lol.gif
 
Dora
Hahaha...wat's my mum's secret ahh...think it's her fierce expression bah. But dun think it works on kids nowadays, certainly not on E...he loves taking advantage of Ah Mah!

Kimi
Aiyo...alot of aunties n uncles in shopping u meet in lifts n malls etc. Even my hb's colleagues, c his pic n ask ger ahh!

Bobianah, Roo, Dora
Aiyo...sometimes I m not sure whether a bb is boy or ger so I will ask which one is it lor. Dun just anyhow guess mah
happy.gif


Dora
Good tat JT developing her own looks. E also slowly losing his bb face which is mould of hb's face
happy.gif
But still looks more like daddy than mummy
happy.gif


Sylk
R is so cute. She looks so pleased with herself
happy.gif


Bobianah
Hope Hannah feels better. Did u all see the article abt cough n cold medications being banned in US? Better double check with ur Dr is Hannah has been prescribed anything like tat. When my Dr gave E cough syrup it was a herbal one made frm Ivy extract. Phew...
 
Lil, last time is last time mah. my mom can take care of 6 kids (1-8yrs) and still work PT!

dora, so kimi's playgrp got her first customer in the form of JT? :p

bobianah, read this then immediately go and read newspaper ehheheh.. u look good leh... i think for ur hgt ur wgt is ok leh... sometimes BMI not accurate one..must depend on bone density etc what...

I have reduced my 'mooing' task to 3 times liao and won't be 'mooing' it at my mum'plc so tat I can spend more time wif tx. but seem like mum is getting more possessive and stubbon nowsdays. posssessive in the sense that she wanted to keep on holding on to tx. tx only wail a bit, mum will grab her fr me and also keep on playing with her when I was talking and teaching tx something. so pissed off. on sun, when we took tx to bb contest near my mum'plc. mum tagged along, talking non-stop all the way and when tx wail bec she wanted to slp, she will say tx only want to look for her etc. hai...

I 'm also been busy too doing the tx' s new website bit by bit too.gg to sort out her photos and sent for develop soon as I intended to do her first yr ablum, hopefully, i can finish by her birthday.

mummies,

i very very upset n pissed....
sad.gif
sad.gif
i have been battling with ivan's sleeping pattern from birth till now..i dun know why but he is just not a good sleeper..remember when he was 2mth plus he didnt nap whole day!! i was so frustrated then...think 4 to 6mths he was ok...can nap 2hr 2times a day...recently he didnt sleep well for day nap n in turn affect night sleep...for nap time i nursed him to sleep...but sometime 15mins he woke up liao...i dun know how he can grow well with such little sleep..i am really at my wits end...now at my mum hse..my dad saw me about to scream..asked me to cool down say dun nap never mind!! of cos it is easier for him to say cos he is not the main caregiver! if ivan doesnt nap well in the day he will become cranky n night time wake up several times...n i am stopping bf next mth so i dun want use breasts as a 'weapon' to make him sleep..but he is still so attached to bf....i cant wait to stop...
my one year SAHM job is going to end soon...this is really a long journey n i was really stupid enough to take up this job!! it is more tiring than working!!! it is really a demanding 24/7 job!!!

also my pro bf PD want me to give either UHT or full cream milk/fresh milk to Ivan next mth.he doesnt believe in FM..but some of the close friends i talk to dont believe in full cream/fresh milk.as they tink tat FM is specially formulated for bbies..so now i havent make up my mind wat milk to give him.I am really very tired...recently kept 'hearing'my back bones' crack crack' tink losing alot of calcium due to bf...so tiring....
 
Afcai
Good to hear tat u r now spending more time with tx. Give ur mum some time to adjust her thoughts, emotions n to let go. Think abt it...she has been looking after bb tx practically 24/7 since newborn so of course she has developed very strong attachments to her. So now that u r suddenly spending more time with bb tx, it's only natural that she's scared she won't be tx's favourite anymore and prob even feels abit jealous. She needs time to recall that she is only grandmother to tx while U r the mother.

Choo
Aiyo...tot Ivan's sleeping prob has improved or gone away liao since hvn't heard frm u for sometime. Have u seen the PD abt this? Usually this prob starts frm newborn n their sleep improve when they grow older. That's what my PD told me n this is certainly is true for E. He hardly slept in the day n woke up countless times at night frm newborn to abt 6mths. Nowadays much better liao altho still not a good sleeper. Maybe there is something else tat's disturbing his sleep at nite...could he be suffering from sleep apnea etc.

With regards to follow on milk...personally I would give FM cos that is specially formulated for growing human babies. To me UHT or fresh milk is only suitable once the child is eating well ie. three proper meals a day n can get all the nutrients they need from tat.
 
Jackie, Bobianah, Roo13, LiL, Jen, Bloom, Dora,
Heehee, glad u like the pix. This little girl is full of expressions. The look captured in the pix is actually a recent 'trick' taught by my PILs... they very notti lah, teach her 'how does a dog sniff?' and R will wrinkle up her nose and go sniff sniff and grin. Aiyoh.
 
hmm.. forum getting quiet hor.
Guess all mommies busy preparing for upcoming bday party for their prince & princess. I'm now also busy preparing hayley's bday party. Her deco items have arrived, cake/buffet have been book & cfm. Now waiting to finalise my guest list. Now see if there is any way to clear our untidy guest room which has become our storeroom. Hoping to clear that and let it become a baby room for hayley's friends to play inside during her party.

Hi Bloom,
Mygym also has sunday class (9.30am or 12.30pm). Just now kaypo yur kate's blog and wow.. kate is walking now and sooo fast.

Hi Afcai,
Actually Hayley got a nap (if u read her blog, she actually dozed off again while having her lunch) before she attend MYGYM trial class.. haa Can see BB TX also very bubbly & enjoying the class, maybe by end of class, she getting tired.
happy.gif


Hi Bobianah,
hope hannah is feeling better by now.
happy.gif

aiyoh.. I din get to read the article fm papers.

Hi Sylk,
yur regina got very cheeky look, so cute. haa

Hi Choo,
do stay on.. my friend told me it OK to feed cow milk after they reach one yr. Her PD also told her not necesary to give FM.. I going to let mine try some cow milk after she turns one, to see if she got any allergy. So next time even more easiy to bring her out as can grab a packet of milk in the event she is hungry.
 
afcai,
I have booked a chalet in Chevrons at Jurong there. Welcome any mommies to join. esp those staying in west. warm welcome if u are available on 19dec (wed).

choo,
Dun be sad... i think cannot use nursing liao bah. no use for ivan now. if my gal dun slp she sure get beating from me one. I most hate when I want to slp & she dun slp. she sure get whacked by me. I rem when she is like 2-3mths old, she wakeup in the middle of the nite to cry & dun slp. i got so pissed. bring her nxt door to avoid disturbing my hb. give her milk dun want, nurse her dun want, bring her to windows & see outside she keep quiet. sit down oni cry. so angry until i slap her thighs hard & pinch her tongue. Soooo pissed. other things make me angry i OK, but if i nid to slp & she dun slp she sure no good life liao. haha.
for me now, my gal in the morning, wakeup i will feed her milk, then bathe her, then feed her abit porridge + abit milk to force her to slp. she will go slp abt 12-1. at my sis hse she can slp 5hrs. (i got a big shocked- is my gal still breathing???). then go my mom hse slp 3hrs at 1 go. but both ON aircon for her to slp lar.then afternoon wakeup play again, then 4pm onwards i force her to slp again. haha. then i can do hsework or cook mah. i dun air con for her one. oni at nite. then now night pattern, she usually used to nap from 8-9pm, but now NOT AT ALL. ok. i am fine with it. bring her to kai kai make her eyes be tired, then 10pm onwards she start to rub eyes, i am happi. faster make milk for her to slp. she hold the btl herself then after finish take up throw to me then turn her body slp until 7-9am nxt day. slowly train Ivan his sleeping pattern. else u bring him to go outside kai kai lor. go yew tee shop lor. make him become tired.
 
any babies co-slp with parents? my gal is realli like a dog leh (born in dog yr mah). wow bian she slp with us, such small baby want to snatch place with us u knw. she flip her body until can slap us lar, else head dunno why ended on my tummy lar, else dunno hw she turn her body, head also turn & hit onto our head lar - very pain ok. cos her head very hard leh. she wont be awake by her knock to us, but we wakeup to Ouch... she also love to slp on tummy then her head is turn left & right, left & right until fix liao then will fall aslp. see her fall aslp,put her to her cot, she wakeup & cry liao. put back my bed, she slp again. cant stand her. i think forever hv to slp with us liao. this No2 come out i dun dare nurse her at nite & put baby slp with me anymore. wait all 4 pax hw to squeeze 1 bed? haha
 
Hi Jen,
wow, u so 'violent' to yr gar huh....slap her etc...won't she scream even louder? tx will do that if we did that(sometimes lose temper to her cos she dun finish her ebm). same situation like u, she can eat and slp well at my mum'plc but during wkeend, she dunno why refuse to drink milk and slp less than will get cranky.

we did a spring cleaning at hm to prepare for her birthday as we invite a few frenz to our hse. however, we still cannot finish the cleaning.so dunno feel guilty of not bring tx home on wed night. so pissed off again y'day at my mum'plc, I went early to play with tx. tx wailed a bit, mum will come and intend to snatch her fr me. then she will say, tx still prefer her etc...all the nonsense. so pissed off.

co-slp, see my mood loh, sometimes, sun morning after her first feed, We will place her to slp with us or else she slp on her own playpen.same, she very bad slp posture, will roate ard to slp.she will put her legs or even backside on hubby's face. think for yr case, u need to get rid of her co-slp habits b4 the arrival of yr sec one.reassure her security by putting her favorite toys with her to slp loh. see this work.
 
sigh...hannah still coughing badly...until face red, sometime vomit.
sad.gif
i feel so sad for her.
sad.gif
sad.gif


choo,
dun stress. bbs are lidat. Maybe u ask PD, if his assessment ok, u can relax. Btw, have u started bottle-training Ivan yet so that you can stop BF and go back to work? How's the progress?

afcai
ai-yo, wat diet? Anyway hor, when u read these things, u must read with "a pinch of salt" loh, u dunno this thing that newspaper can edit what they want so that it fits better their story?
 
bobianah,
tot u are on diet cos read that the breakfast and lunch meal seems that u eat a little only.

ai-yo, do u give Hannah cough medicine(is there a cough medicine for bb??)

Gan
wow, give cow milk, tot fm not cow milk meh...u mean fresh milk type, isn't it sweet? or did u intended to go for a specific brand which contain less sugar one (can bought it fr ntuc, forgot which brand)? my col gave his son fresh milk instead of fm daily cos his son dun want to drink fm. hshe only wean off bf when his son is 23mth.but of cos, she did warm up the fresh milk before giving it to the son.

LiL
yup, y'day, she also like that again. always like to talk so loud when carry tx. Have reminded her that tx's ear is just beside her mouth only.as usual, she like to put power all over tx.so stubbon despite telling her so many times, she still like that. hai...anyway, she only looked after tx from her 4th onwards full time loh. but previously, she did the confinement for me where she only did was to bath tx, hand wash tx's clothes and then cook for me loh.hubby is the one who helped out (tat's time he just ord only).
 
Gan,Lil,bobianah,jen,

thanks!!i am much better now...I think I have to accept that Ivan is just a bad sleeper bah.I have tried to train him on bottles but unsuccessful.He will only play with the teats.FOr water,I will have to spoonfeed him.PD said he is growing well very active .
 
afcai..ahah..was she that noisy in the videos :p hp always on so already ready... camera..stillin the cupboard..ahaha

choo, i htink ur PD is weird!

gan...ahha..with speed comes bumps (oh pak cak-blue black bumps)..drink cow's milk once in a wihle is fine lah.but i think choo's PD wan choo to use 100% UHT and 0% FM!

bobianah, what did the doc say abt hannah's coughing? hahaa...so which part of ur food intake is salted in that article?
 
Mummies
Been down with the flu
happy.gif
Wah this DR dunno prescribe what meds to me...take liao who day so sleepy...eyes so heavy. Lucky my mum here else E will be running wild at home while mummy knocked out on the floor. Already told him I m looking after bb at home liao...siao Dr. Feel slightly better liao but coughing like mad.

Gan
FM also cow's milk bah n it's better than UHT. Must remember fresh milk produced by cow for it's calf not human babies. FM is vit n minerals fortified for our growing bb's needs. I already give my boy some UHT milk cos i use it to cook pasta n poach his fish.

Afcai
Whether she looks after tx full time frm newborn or 4 mths onwards, she would still hv developed v strong attachments to tx cos she looks after her day n night. Just be more tolerant of ur mum lor. BTW, when u say 'just do confinement only for u'...I m sorry but it does sound as if u r not v appreciative of ur mum. It's not easy work for n old lady u know. Cook special food n prepare all the bu soup for u n still bother to hand wash tx's clothes! I just ask my mum to put all in washing machine together cos I also dun want my mum to be so xing ku. She still does alot for u...maybe u shd kan kai abit when she does something tat irritates u. I also just tahan when when my mum says something to irritate me or doesn't do things they way I like cos I really appreciate her coming up here to keep us company when I know there's lots of things she could be doing at her own home.
 
weekends had been spent carrying kate out of those 'forbidden' zones cos she is now always going into the kitchen (water and dangerous chemicals) and computer room (lots of hb's rubbish on the floor).

Any suggestions on what kind of safety gate to get and where to get reasonable price?
 
morning ladies...
last weekend was such a hectic period for me... found out ethan had been addicted to yao lan liao... n he super hong sim... fri i was the only one not working... then hor... as soon as i bathe n change, ethan keep screaming n screaming saying he wanna go out... everytime i change he will wanna go out lor... some more cannot wait for me to pack things wan... wanna go out means immediately wan... haiz... actually dun feel like going out wan... no choice lor... bring him go mil place... he oso dun wanna sleep mah... e most sleep 1 hr at hm... then bring him go mil place liao tot its time for him to watch his fav tv show... but hor he start screaming again lor... aiyoh... go bedroom liao keep looking at the yaolan... ask him if he wanna yao yao he smile at me... put him inside sleep in less than 5 mins... alamak... then he sleep for 2hrs+ lor... aiyoh... then he wake up liao bring him hm cos told hb i will be cooking dat day liao... then ethan drink milk liao play a while make him sleep again... cos he din sleep much for whole day n i wanna cook mah... then havent finish cooking he wake up liao... aiyoh... got to entertain him while cooking... now i know how mil feel when she looking after him... in the end dinner still turn out ok... except dat the rice is abit too soggy... hee... put too much water... fil still say ok.. luckily still edible... hee...

yest was so angry with fil... he practically spoilt ethan to the core liao... n he dun even think he spoilt him... ethan finish porridge liao scream n scream wan ppl to carry... then fil quickly carry him saying dun let him scream for too long... aiyoh... told him dun spoil him liao... mil oso let him scream... then scold him... if he continue then she will smack him... then he dun dare to scream liao... fil actually say got meh... aiyoh... no wonder he keep telling me ethan got sayang him n kiss him where i keep wondering y he din do the same thing to me... of cos lah... he is the only one who dun bear to beat him mah... argh!!! so angry...
 
Hello mummies

Wah the forum was so quiet during the long weekend, guess everyone was away enjoying themselves!
happy.gif


Bobianah
oh dear! Poor Hannah.. the last time JT was sick, she also coughed till vomit... very poor thing one.... the PD said to stop solids and just give milk till the vomitting is better.... really hope hannah gets well soon... poor girl....

Bloom
eh... I dun think I will sign up JT for Kimi's playgroup long term, cos no $$$$... altho JT really enjoyed herself... single income mah... well almost single income lah :p

I got a lucky baby safety gate but haven't installed yet. Got it at a sale at OG for $50+ or $60 the other time. So I can't comment whether good or not, but seems like it's the cheapest one ard ... :p

Zion
Sigh... my JT is also spoiled rotten by ILs... she is very demanding now... even hubby buay tahan calls her little tyrant....

Mummies, my JT is refusing food again... sigh... this time, I think it's really teething... can see 4 upper teeth coming out at the same time and she's super grouchy... hopefully her teeth will come out soon....

Choo
different babys have different behaviour mah... my JT can nap in the day, but at nite also may wake up cos she is a very light sleeper... and to top it off... she is super fussy abt food... I always go crazy trying to feed her... these days, I just give up and feed her biscuits if she doesn't want to eat porridge... cos bo bian if not I'll go crazy.... so sometimes as much as we want our babies to be like others.... we just have to accept that our babies are difficult.....

are you training Ivan to drink FM from sippy cup? I have read that some TBF babies, especially those who are latched on full time, have difficulty accepting FM and bottles, it might be easier to start of with sippy cup straight away. And some BF bb just dun like FM, and they will go straight to fresh milk... I have 2 nieces like tat, and my mum said I was also like tat... seems like my JT will also be like tat.... so you have to see if Ivan will accept FM or not.... if not no choice just have to give fresh milk...
 
Zion,
wow ethan can speak liao ar. my gal havent call me leh. so sad.

dear mommies,
any recommendation for cake ordering for your babies 1 yr old bday one?
 
afcai,

mummies

zion

dora
how do u train JT on slippy cup? tx dun wan to drink fr there when given water. she will drink a lot of water when feed her with bottle instead.
 
LiL
yup, will try to remind myself to appreciate what my mum did. sometimes, she just like to spolit tx, tx wail a bit, she will attend to it etc.

Jen
wow, even selina is in deep aslp, she also can sense when she is being moved. ai-yo...need time for her to be independant.
now, have u try to talk to selina abt the arrival of her little sibling? my frenz who has a 19mth old bb is so jealous of her little sister when her mum is bf the bb. she will push away the bb and then hug her mum and cry. pitiful....her mum also gek sim...cannot dun attend to her also...
 
dora,
mandy's on a food strike oso! or rather a porridge/cereal/mashed potato strike! sigh... den i kept having arguments w my hubby cos i wanted to feed her wholemeal bread which she loves when she rejects her porridge. but hubby tinks tt it's ok if she doesn't wanna eat n if i feed her e food she likes she'll tink she can get her way n reject porridge even more. n he tinks wholemeal bread has preservatives so i shldn't feed her too much. which i agree oso lah...

n hubby feels tt all her other devt r going on well so there's nothing wrong w her.. n he accused me o being obsessed w wt!!!! HMPH!!!! i dun need a big n heavy bb but i need one who eats!!!!

ai-yo, she smack here smack there, smack until i so gek sim. this morn smacked milk all over my face n clothes... n she eats a few spoonfuls 4 dinner nia..

i tink she's sick o mushy stuff so i made meat sticks 4 her 2 chew. minced beef + mashed potato + egg yolk rolled into a stick, then baked. she ate 3 sticks 4 lunch n a no. o spoonfuls o rice. oh, i dip e sticks in brocolli puree too. so, in a way, it's q a nutritious meal. altho quantity is not much..

i tink we share e same prob.. i always tell ppl if my bb is like 10kg i can relax a bit n nt force her so much n focus on gd eating habits... but i just weighed mandy yest, nt even 7 kg! gosh... i tink she's like JT, nv gain wt 4 e past few mths at all..

very gek sim lah... now i hafta somehow roll all her food into a stick or a ball or sthg. i tink tt's e only way she'll eat them

sad.gif


choo,
so u've found a job ar? wat wld u b working as? erm, act hor, i've said b4, it takes many mths 2 train a TBF bb 2 drink fr bottle n e older they r, e more diff it is to train. i tried since she was 6/7 mths old n was at it for 3 mths or so still din succeed. now gotta spoonfeed cos she din wanna latch oso. if ivan has 2 depend on u 4 his milk, i dun tink u'd b able 2 leave his side for prolonged period lor.

act other ppl can spoonfeed mandy milk but bcos it's tiring n takes a lot o skill so i prefer doing it myself n nt burden others oso. even when hubby feeds, he tends to give up much earlier than i would haf. so end up, mandy wld drink less, unless she's being fed by me.
 
Kimi!!!!

Aiyo!!! Mandy and JT really same same one leh.... Tat day JT refused to eat her food, no matter wat I gave her to play. She would only eat when I let her hold the spoon and guide it into her mouth... then you know lah, the other hand comes and before I know it, her body, table and floor is full of porridge... luckily hubby came home in time to bathe her while I clean up the horrible mess... Then yesterday we were outside, had to let her play with coins in our desperate attempt to make her eat.... and she would usually eat her papaya if I cut them in cubes, but she didn't even want that during the weekend. But I'm hoping that its just teething cos can see her 4 upper teeth coming out....sigh... dunno wat to do with these 2 girls... eating is so difficult meh???!!! ARGH!!!
I've been thro the roll food in ball phase. At least Mandy eats that so it's just harder work for you. I did potato balls with meat and carrot purees.... JT still didn't like it.... waste my time... She only eats the Healthy times teddy puffs... you want to let mandy try that again? at least that is organic with no preservatives, high in calcium, iron and Vit B. You know last week I couldn't find it in Lot 1 NTUC and there was only 1 box left in AMK NTUC extra, I panicked cos in the back of my mind, I was thinking wat is my girl going to eat if this is out of stock??!! This is how pathetic I am now... luckily I found them at tiong bahru NTUC and quickly bot 4 packs... islandwide hunt for it...
Tell your hubby must still feed Mandy something lah... maybe not immediately after, but like 1/2 hr after the meal lor... they cannot live on air mah.... and it's not like Mandy is drinking a lot of milk. That's why I gave JT the Healthy Times Teddy Puffs cos they are the healthiest so far.. and she will eat them.... It's probably ok for them not to gain wt for 1-2 mths, but my PD says their development will be affected long term if their wt remains stagnant for 3mths... so try to at least give Mandy stg lor.
 
Zion,
my gal same as ethan. very hong sim one. she will crawl to her dady in the moni when the dad say Lets go gai gai actually is go my MIL hse. then at nite she oni believe me cos i always carry her go downstairs market to shop & see the car & air lar. haha.

DORAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

yes yes yes... mandy wld eat oso when i let her hold e spoon n direct it to her mouth. otherwise... sigh... now objects r q useless. if she doesn't wanna eat she'd get angry n sweep everything off e table... usu these objects wld b stained w milk or porridge etc n when they get scattered all over e floor.... sigh.... u can imagine.. or rather, u must be going thru tt all e time oso..

yest she refused 2 eat outside oso. created a din. i was buying food n hubby just gave up on her. let her cry while he ate... ai-yo... in e end she took just a few more mouthful o cereal while fingering things n was attempting 2 smack everyting away... so i relented n gave her 2 bread.. haiz... i shld go buy e teddy puffs. tt day dee let her try one piece, she was ok w it.

i'd prob let her eat beef sandwich tmr.. den next day perhaps baked fish w orange juice... n erm, i dunno liao... argh! now i hafta rack my brain everyday 4 her meals.. even more troublesome than e adults' meals. we share share wat our bbs like ok??? really lack ideas...

oh, coins. been there done tt. hehehe.. she only likes cold tings so i hafta rake my fridge 4 her. even den, she's slowly getting sick o e tings in e fridge!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!
 
Jen
ai-yo, still got to tell her and get that message into her so that she will learn the sharing and caring issue. my mum bought a doll with milk bottle for tx. she kept telling tx that u must sayang "yang wa wa" and let her drink milk milk.


zion
ai-yo, dun give in him to have his own way, later ethan know by screaming he can get what he want. no gd wor...

agreed, grandparents always like to spoilt kids.haa...climb onto head n urinate...wow, ethan 'dun like' yr fil huh??
 
Afcai

JT has never liked bottles in the 1st place, so I guess the sippy cup is stg new to her. And before I intro the sippy cup, she has never drank water cos she was TBF. so I guess in a way its easier for me to get her to drink from the cup since she hates the bottle.

KIMI!!!!
Something tells me that JT and Mandy are long lost sisters!!! Cold things, been there done tat... I let her played with ice... but now ice also not interesting liao....Yah yah yah.... everything coated with porridge... porridge all over the house... all been there done tat... still doing it!! :p Just now at MIL's house, she was hitting the milo tin with a spoon like a drum... and managed to get her to eat almost 1 bowl of porridge... sigh.. where got so many new things for her to play!!!
and I think JT is worse cos she is allergic to so many things, and yet still so picky abt food... sometimes I just sit there in exasperation, then keep thinking will my girl ever grow out of this phase?!? I mean will my girl ever EAT??!
Wah beef sandwich sounds exotic... I can't even give JT bread cos dunno got milk in there or not.... AHHHHH!!!! I dunno lah... you can try poached fish in fresh milk, soak the teddy puffs in milk, steamed veg sticks like broccoli and cauliflower....overcooked pasta like penne (cook until soggy?) I tried the penne but because I bought the organic wholemeal pasta, I think its a bit tough so she didn't like it... How abt yoghurt? JT loved the yoghurt, but she got hives from head to toe 10min after eating it...

Zion
JT has also been screaming to get her way.... haiz.... but most of the time I bo chup her just let her scream.... too unreasonable liao..
 
dora,
ya, u more cham cos she's allergic 2 lotsa stuff. at least 4 mandy, no matter wat she eats, she has absolutely no prob, at least until now. unless u count getting hi on papaya. hahahaha...

ya, agree. where got so many new tings 2 play? sigh... i've already given her everyting i can find on my dining table... just last nite, outta exasperation, i gave her one box o wrapped up candies n choc. she just kept emptying it n me filling it. ha, managed 2 feed her 240ml o milk. but after a while, she'd realise i'm tricking her n get v angry n wld frantically smack at everyting n throw everyting on e floor... *shake head*

mandy almost finished her dinner o 3 meat sticks, sweet potato puree, bt 2 tbspn o cooked rice n 5 sticks o green beans. only e green beans n rice had leftovers. i tink it's sthg new lah. dunno when she'd get sick o them!!!! keep my fingers crossed..

oh, e yoplait bb yoghurt is nt bk yet. any idea where to get other bb yoghurt?

oh dear, e forum is so quiet.. it seems to b filled w both o our grievances...

Mummies, been really busy at work. Just celebrated Evee's 1st birthday yesterday. Had been really tiring preparing food and i also took the risk to bake her her 1st birthday cake. Its the first time i am making a fondant cake too. Its her actual bday tomorrow so will be on leave to bring her out.

QSG
waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! the cake so pretty!!! Evee is a lucky gal.

Dora, bloom, gan
hannah's coughing seems a bit better...but, haiyo, at least once a day when she cough till vomit sure kena change clothes n bedsheet. Her lungs r clear - thankfully - and she seems to be getting better. I did give her some medicine but stop after 5 days. Anyway, she pass all her germs to us cos now my hb n me coughing!!
sad.gif


Choo,
yes, as some of the mummies here advise, better bottle train or sippy cup train ivan soon.
 
zion... thats the prob when grandparents take care of the grandchild..they tend to spoil the grandchild...

dora... babytown selling safety gate for $49.90 but its metal... so i am still considering..my colleague suggesting DIY using cardboard and she is making one too, so maybe I will just join in the fun! cheapo mommy! :p 4 upper teeth! no wonder super grouchy! Last time kate also reject food when her first 2 pairs of teeth come out...hopefully after the teeth are out she will eat with a vengence!

afcai, again, some of our period gone haywire after we stop/partially stop bfing.. its quite common... i thot all kids are noisy when they are at home cos they run around, scream, cries when cranky? Or only kate is like that (ooopsss)? kate also refuses to drink much water from sippy cup..headache...

kimi.. sighh... *sayang*...... i think maybe mandy and jt are more independent and so want to feed themselves (since u 2 said they will eat if you let them hold the spoon?) instead of letting other pp serve them?

QSG, thats a lovely cake!!! wow!!!!! happy birthday evee!

bobianah, is it phelgm?
 


bloom
ya..she has phelgm..dunno how to cough out. I hear her swallow it back many times liao.
and i think her throat oso itchy. Like me know lor...i got her germs!!
