happy.gif


bobianah,

Hannah look like a toddler leh! big girl! ya think today is Hannah's 10th mth!!there are some bbies who turn 10th mth today too bt i cant recall! opps!

Dora,

I understand how u feel..last wed i brought Ivan see the new PD recommend by Vanessa.He assured me ivan is growing well ,he is now 7.75kg( still cant cross 8kg) he said if he is under 7kg then is underweight.n if he is not eating well n not active then there is something to worry.I have ald accepted the fact lor.wat to do!
happy.gif
i tot after seeing this PD he might encourage me to give FM to fatten him up ,bt he said no to FM .

btw any mummies know wat is FUll CREAM milk and UHT milk?PD ask me to give Ivan when he turn one.

Hows the Dec birthday bash?is it still on?
 


oh yes, many bb turning 10 mths today. got mine, and rainv, bobianah, afcai, linette, zion and fizz.... happy 10 mths! hope i got all the names right.
happy.gif


choo, huh? uht? its those normal fresh milk lor. full cream meaning it contains more fat, not like skim milk. usually in asia its not popular to introduce fresh milk at this age. there are other milk powder avail. hmmm.....
 
Hwee/Choo/Bloom

The thing is, JT is still not eating well. There's improvement from previous times, but she still needs to play and play then she'll open her mouth to eat. It still takes 1 hr and an incredible amt of mess before she'll eat. I think I should bring her to see the PD to see what is wrong with her..... haiz.... and she is allergic to cow's milk, so no pediasure for her.

Choo
UHT stands for ultra-heat treated. It's the time of milk in the tetra pak (paper cartons) that doesn't need to be refrigerated and has a long shelf life. As it was treated under high heat, the protein level in the milk is kind of affected. THe other type if pasteurised milk. This is the type that needs refrigerated with a very short shelf life. As this was only treated at around 70+deg, the protein level is not really affected, so closer to fresh milk. But not sure if all the bacteria are killed in this case, so maybe that's why your PD suggested UHT milk. There are full cream milk for both types.

Bobianah
Wow, Hannah really looks like a big girl
happy.gif
 
Dora
Thought pediasure is corn based milk, not cow's milk? Maybe you shd double check.

Bobianah, Rain
Gymboree looks like lots of fun. Reviews? Think I will definitely arrange for trial but kinda busy these 2 mths.
 
RainV
I think vernice oso quite active. She just needs time to warm up...hannah used to it, thats why not too shy. you think vernice enjoy the class?
k. PM u my cleaner. not sure if she got vacancy tho.

hwee
heheh...u see, we both think the same...cos our gers got little hair! hahaha!

choo, dora,
thanks.
happy.gif

I really like the pic of her looking at the menu tho. so funnee!! :p

Happy 10th month to all 8 Dec bbs!!!!

Lil
Gymboree not too bad. I only dun like it that class size is so big. 12 bbs a class!!!
But activity quite fun cos hannah like these move around, climb around things, then some sing song time, bubbles time, puppet time.
 
bobianah

shihui
so miserable lunch time 30 mins...did u feel engorge if u miss the the lunch pump? can discuss with yr superior to give u 20 mins to pump??

wow piang...over the weekend, i tried to reduce to 3 times per day (6am, 1pm & 11+pm(delay suppose to pump at 10pm)) but felt a big lump over my left breast. piang....a bit pain pain...today, only managed to clear the lump by continuing massaging every hr...now, dunno happy or sad, ss drop....the least is 80ml i can get.

ask u, do yr 'gd frenz' come regularly? since aug, the arrival of my 'gd frenz' after that sept my 'gd frenz' gone missing liao. siao liao...

hai...if u are free over weekend, can ask tx to go over yr hse or ph to come over my hse to play toys or interact....see ph will behave guai guai in front of my little missy or not. haa..


hmm...thks for the info for window contractor and will look into it with hubby.

Gan
are u mentioning abt safra member? if so, go roadshow to sign and promotion more attractive with free gifts and discounted membership if one take up 3 yr or 5 yr membership.

as a safra member, there are quite a numberous of plc with discount. eg when produce yr safra card at golden village over weekend, it cost $8 only. so 'wu hua" (in hokkien). hubby also won movie passes almost every mth when he joined the contest online.


err..i can only open the movie of Hayley when I'm hm.

yeah, I really pei fu Hayley can drink so much ebm.


Starluster
hubby took care of tx every fri when he ord that time during her 5-6 mth.but bath her when I came bck only. that's time tx is quite cranky but still ok. 2 mth ago, when I went for d n d, hubby took care of her during the evening - night time. tx cried for 2 hrs before she doze off man...


bloom
wow, yr hubby so 'patient' with kate huh....is kate close to papa?


choo
for me, i either rinse off by giving tx water after milk feed or wipe her with damp cloth (she opened mouth big big and chew).


choo/hwee
bingo, hwee u got the right bbs....
yup, beside Hannah, tx is one of the bb, today is 10mth. so is Linette, Rainv, hwee, zion, fizzy (long time never online).


hwee
is it ok to give uht milk? cos my col who has a 2.5mth old toddler. she stopped before on his 21 mth bec her kid auto-wean off. hence, whenever fm she gave to this boy, he dun wan. then she bought the uht fr ntuc(forgot which brand) and gave him, he loves it. now, his caregiver will warm up the milk fr the fridge loh.

this kind uht ex wor...but isn't it less nutrient when compare to fm??

happy.gif


<font color="0000ff">Hi Bloom/Hwee/Bobianah/Choo/Dora,</font>
tks for the compliment..
As for the funny video -> till today we keep laughing whenever we watch the funny video. Actually before that is captured, she already doze off several times, then she woke again & smiled sheepish at me for apologising her poor behavior. Haa
happy.gif


<font color="0000ff">Hi Bobianah/Rainv</font>,
your Hannah & Vernice looks like sisters fm the side view. I agreed that Vernice has very nice and expressive BIG eyes.
happy.gif

shihui, doesnt ph try to pull the wires/xbox off the shelf?
 
Shuihui,
PH looks so cute standing infront. isit u are trying to stop him from touching the electronic device so he is looking at u? cos my gal always hv this kind of reaction when being stopped by any command from mommy.

Is Qian hui ard???
 
gan, thanks for the offer. safra yishun a little far for me. let me go find out abt the safra at bt gombak. maybe i'll go there.

shihui, bjg takes a while to call back. i registered online and they called me back like 1 month plus later. only when they have slots for trial then they call. wait for a while more. agree ph is cute! my, he stands very well!

afcai, guess its ok to give any kind of milk to toddlers. my gal also drinks fresh milk when travelling.
happy.gif
 
Shihui
PH starting young on XBOX ah?? Heehee! Aiyoh, he's so cute...i really love his big eyes. This top down view is real cute!!!
abt BJG...yah, they usu full cos only abt 6bbs max...small class size. which is good lor. I oso sign on their website and they took abt 2-3wks to call by then i oso forgot i signed up! heehee!
I'm glad u like the window grilles contractor. Else I'll feel guity for recommending something others not fully satisfied with. :p Now I'm making new curtains to go with my new grilles. U need contact? haha!

bloom,
clim book shelves...not stores...heheh... no la, my MIL will watch her while she's climbing lor...dun allow her climb hing la. But i realise, once they set their mind to do something, no point forcing them not to, cos they will just turn back to it to satisfy curiosity. So, sometimes i let hannah explore stuff under very close supervision!
Hey, my hb going for the SGX bull run! I'll be there...but waiting at esplanade! hahaha! me not running.
 
hwee,
where got safra at gombak? gombak got only home team clubhse while the clubhse near bt batok interchange is civil service club(CSC). ai-yo....
 
bloom,
PH is not so advance yet.. :p now, he's usually cruising along the coffee table etc.. :p hand got touch lah.. but not yet pull.. :p

Bobianah,
Hannah is one lucky baby! So many activities to keep her active and interested.
 
sylk
haiz, cos i not SAHM, so try to "compensate" on weekends. :p besides, with her "boundless" (to me) energy, I find it easier to take her to some gym to do stuff...:p
 
Hi mummies,
any one know supermarket got sell first toothpaste and toothbrush or not?? if not, what other brand is suitable for our bb age?
 
rainV,
me oso wonder if Sophia will be clingy or scared during class, coz she quite sua ku n quite scaredy cat... this mummy never expose her much. lookin fwd to seeing her reaction during the gymboree trial.
happy.gif

Sylk
Still havn't received your PM leh. Maybe you can sms me. I PM u my HP in case u haven't got the Dec mummies contact list.
 
Bobianah,
I wish I can take her to classes too. At the moment, Regina hates the car seat and I have trouble bringing her out alone because she will wail and squrim her way out of the seat. Haiz.

Dora!
My hb also left for a 2 weeks biz trip yesterday. Then he'll be back for 2-3 days before going away again for 2 days. Followed by another long trip again....
sad.gif

Bravo to you 2. Dunno who you manage all alone with bb 24/7. Noti me make my mum travel to SG to accompany me everytime hb go on business trip. So poor thing has been spending 2 weeks in SG then a week in KL, then 2 weeks in SG again etc etc...

Mbb
Wow, must make my hb take lessons from yours. My hb spends more time glancing at his blackberry or talking on the phone while at home than with E. Even when he is on leave he is on the phone...GRRRRRRrrrrrr!!!!!
 
<font color="0000ff">hi bobianah/mbb</font>,
Tks .. guess i just go and grab the disposables for the time being. Last night even went to kiddy to look for one. BUt very exp leh like $25 for another brand, not i-play. The last time i got the i-play cost only abt $5.90 during the last taka fair. It is such a steal, right?haiz

Mbb, where is Target?

<font color="0000ff">hi Rainv,</font>
Yes, u got it right. I at orchard. U too?

<font color="0000ff">hi afcai</font>,

The class will start from 10am - 4pm, from 10am - 12 noon, I will be teaching the cookies and after lunch, the kids will get to paint the containers for putting the cookies in. Either glass container or basket. It will be a very interesting course, mostly all hands-on, the kids will get to fold in the flour and do their own baking n after that will be hands-on painting. Anyone interested? It will be on 19th Oct (PSLE Marking Day). This is a 1 day course, so it will be a good chance for you to see if you child loves art. It's $120 inclusive of all ingredients, materials and lunch. Let me know if any of u interested.

just share with u something which I read today - Straits times - mind yr body. there 's this article page 8 abt cracking bb speak code.

it mentioned abt how an australian woman decoded meanings behind the sounds that bb make. she has developed the Dunstan bb language system, a set of sounds bb produce by reflex when asking for specific needs to be met. they are used by bb aged zero to 3 mth to 'communicate' the 5 basic needs of hunger, fatigue, need to burp, pain fr wind in the gut and gerenal discomfort. she use audio equipment to record the cries of her child.

she discovered that when bb said 'eh' they weren't hungry but only needed to be burp. so when u burp them, they werer happy again. if bb said 'neh' mean they are hungry.

this woman backgnd is a trained violinist and opera singer that allowed her to differentiate the diff sound a bb made.it took 8 yrs to rearch to uncover the sound system - a language shared by all bb.she is hoping to bring DvDs to sg thru retailer such as mothers work and mothercare.

the sound s that a bb mkes are universal. bb don't have ctrl over what they are saying.it's the body talking or the body making sounds. eg.

Neh: I'm hungry.
sound produced when there is a sucking motion.

Owh:I'm sleepy/tired.
sound of a yawn reflex.

Eh: I need to burp.
sound produced when the muscle in the chest is lightened.

Eairh: I have lower wind pain.
sound is produced when the muscles in the lower abdomen are constricted.

Heh: i am uncomfortable/need to be changed.
sound made when the chest muscle is contracted and breath is pulled into the diaphragm.
