dora

talia ann has been doing her poopoo in the potty for the last 3 mths also. in the beginning, you try to catch her when you know she's going to poo and then put her on the potty. so she associate potty with poopoo.

now i normally will get poopoo after her morning milk and depending on the quantity
biggrin.gif
, will attempt a second time after lunch. so that i don't get accidents on the diapers.
 
Dora,
in the beginning, JT will not like sitting on the potty.
you gradually warm her up to it lo.

after wee wee...she will stand up liao

lil,
I used to have hairloss history since 20s
sad.gif
It was under crtl for the last few yrs. During preg I even see my hair glowing. Think this tm cld b my unbalanced diet (can't eat when Denise is crying) and lack of sleep. I dun really believe in those yunnan or beijing 101. I hd a hairspray fr GP but if I gg to hv no.2 there mayb some concern.
 
kimi,

Bloom,
i love Kathleen's fairy custome!

happy.gif


the socks hor...you need to keep pulling it lo.
else it will slip off (the shoe shape part will not sit well on sole of bb). if you are buying, do get bigger size coz we got those up to 1 yr old, guess wat?!
by 6 mths, cannot wear liao!!

as for the bblegs....nice to look at and since i die die wanted one, i ignore Calynn's warning.
Meg wear once and it's history again.

i dun tink she is comfy in it.

Zion mei mei,
i will pay ppl $$$$$ to address me as "xiao mei".
 
Morning,
So many ladies miss me ah (super duper thick skin kekeke)

Lil,
Jovey is fine but this mummy had a crazy 1.5mths working schedule rushing tender. Lucky it ALL OVER
bounce.gif


Roo,
U make me
embarrassed.gif


Dora,
I know abt JT suitation from the dark side. Hope it just a phase and now it over.

Mbb,
Dont feel guilty, bbs hor is the worst kind of creature on earth (worst than women) kekeke, so unpredictable...Come to the dark side than we CHAT, CHAT, CHAT
happy.gif


afcai,
I dont know about you but personnel i need to see Jovey every night before i can sleep peacefully. Otherwise what the point of having a bb when you only choose to see them when you are free??
 
Kimi!
Rest well, don't strain your injured finger ok?
Oh, I am interested in the playgroup if it's in Orchard, can email me the details? Thanks.

Hmm... anyone follows Greys' Anatomy? I like it better than CSI, but haven't had time to watch since R started being mobile... hah hah. Last time she loved to watch Grey's Anatomy with us... it keeps her attention longer than stuff like Baby Einstein or Blue's Clues. Then I have to cover her eyes when it comes to bloody or gross scenes... but she likes to peep. :p
 
mbb,
I go look out of it. Thanks, muack!
wat abt 8/11? We go celebrate deepavali haha....

oh so its nt tt Denise had big legs hor. Cos I had the same problem with the mary jane socks when Denise is in her 6th mth tou it claims can wear until 1yr.
Ok I save my $ n buy u more makan haha.....
 
hwee
haha! ok, i'm glad she emailed u. aiyoh, these ppl, very KS. sorry i griping...cos i see many of these ppl in my line of work. Can send the same email to like 5 diff ppl!! So KS!
 
CF

Eh... please lor... the 2 of us hor... plus 2 screaming babies go ntuc... not auntie then what?? Xiao mei mei ah?? *puke*
Nevermind lah, let philson bully JT abit.. she always bully me at home... high time she knows the feeling of being bullied!!!

Kimi
You are welcome to our auntie gang kekeke.. but next time you come lot 1 lah... the ntuc here much better than your sun plaza one... that one really cannot make it lor...

Eh, at least your bbs steal food ok... my JT stole batteries!!!! No wonder she got feeding problems.. cos really no interest in food whatsoever!!

MBB
The Himalaya is good?? Hubby also has severe hairloss.. he tried Regaine... got some effect lah... but its really ex!!! How much is the Himalaya selling??

Doggie
Thanks for your advice... but JT's poo timing very erractic one leh... wah like tat I have to quickly strip her and put her on the potty lor?? aiyo.. think I wait for hubby to come back before I try it, dun wan to do additional work in the meantime hehehe :p

Jackies
Thanks for your concern... I think JT's problem is not a phase... hubby and I thot very hard abt it.... even the PD says phase can't last 3 mths... then we concluded it's the FM... she really hates it... anything that we have put FM into... she will develop a phobia to it.. initially she eats her cereal like a normal bb when mixed with water or EBM...but when we started putting FM into the cereals, she started to hate food.... then she was also happily drinking water and EBM with the sippy cup, until I put FM in it... she somehow associate FM with all these things and developed a phobia to the spoon and the sippy cup... it didn't help that we keep putting the FM in cos my SS was going down.... Now I cut out all FM and slowly coax her back to eat and drink. I'll rather she doesn't take in enuf milk then to reject all food and water.... so now she seems better liao... this girl has such a strong character... its scary lor!!
 
CF, u bad lah... wan philson to bully JT...

roo, BP for taiwan leggings cancelled

mbb, thanks for the advice on the socks.. iam getting 12-15cm loh..leggings cancelled!

jackie, i think its only those pp that are used to seeing their bb everynight that they will miss their bbs (like u and bb) ..for afcai who don see her bb to sleep everynight i think should be ok guai..

sylk, i hate grey'a anatomy cos of meredith grey... squinty eyes whinny voice and ALL the men (almost all) love her? PLEASE!

we talk too much of csi/er yest i dream i am george cloony married to katherine heigi (?) (the one from CSI LV)
 
eh, i used 2 hate grey's anatomy. so much talking like mosquitoes flying ard. tt time hubby kept watching during preggy time. i wld tell him i feel sick n made him turn off. hahaahahaha... but i got stuck at season 2. but now season 3 nt watching liao... cos i'm stuck on dexter n supernatural. i dun even haf time for HEROES n desp hsewives... no must pick n choose liao...
happy.gif


sylk, wat's ur email add?
 
Dora
Aiyo...too bad dun live near u SAHMS (or PT SAHMS). RE potty training...like the other mummies...when I c that E has the urge I will quickly put him on the potty n go MMMMmmmmmmmmmm! Mmmmmmmmm!!! until my own poo also wanna come out. Unfortunately his poo poo never ever materialises in the potty
happy.gif
He will sit for a long time but nada! Think the potty too big so his butt dips in slightly which doesn't help to spread his buttocks lor. That's why cannot poo.

Kimi
U gotta be joking rite. U look so young in the pictures, at most u r only in ur mid to late 20s nia rite? Serious man. BTW, the playgrp timing is E's nap time leh. Think I'll hv to pass this time round else E will spoil everyone elses fun.

Mbb
My hb also usually work till 9-10pm n worse after coming home still hv to make phone calls cos he is dealing with ppl in Germany. But b4 my mum went home she told him he must come home earlier to help me
happy.gif
So nowadays I c his face by 8pm at the latest. Then poor thing, after E n I go to bed he still has to work.

BTW...I also love Greys anatomy...actually just give me any medical/scientific n legal related shows n I'm there. Love House, love Boston Legal and Looovvveeee Sitcoms. But now all I get to watch is E's monkey shows nia
sad.gif


Roo
Coffee bean? 9.30am? Is ur hairloss genetic?

Sylk
R so cute...potential Dr huh?
 
bobianah,
yup, yup, that's right, dora mentioned the yum cha restaurant.
Heard fr my col that the yum cha restaurant at chinatown is not nice leh. dunno I have not tried yet.

kimi
read yr blog abt the description of yr hurting finger. wow so brave man, dun seem to feel the pain.wow, mandy so so much hair, haa didn't comb her hair huh when u took her to morning walk?

mbb2
as for the potty, did u get those with seat one or just normal one (cheap cheap cost $1.xx). my mum told me those cheap cheap one will stick onto butt one.

hmm...diaper free gd wor...so pocket will not burn a hole on diaper.

Dora
i have not bought the potty yet. dunno which one is gd? my mum will train her cos tx most of the time are at her hse.

Jackie
u bring Jovey home every night?
 
Mummies
Aiyo...I hope E is not falling sick again. Since two days ago I tot I heard some phlegm in his throat. Then last nite he woke up n wldn't go back to sleep again. His breathing was laboured n I cld hear phlegm in his airway. Mayb his nose was blocked. But no fever nothing so dunno want to go c PD today or not. Else weekend no Dr leh. Hmmmm....maybe will call Dr to ask.
 
oh oh... looks like i have to call all of u jie jie liao... hee... good news... mil stopped force feeding ethan in the morning liao... at least this morning lah... but hope cont liddat... this morning she juz let him cont sleeping... then feed him only when he wakes up i supposed... think she had enuff of him crying when she force feed... hee...
 
Afcai
All potty will stick to bum bum one (got abit of suction effect once they sit in it for long mah). I bot one which looks like an arm chair frm Mothercare...tat one also stick to E's bum bum n costs $$$. Think most important is the fit. Think I prefer the cheap round type from pasar malam but dunno where to find in SG. U got lubang?
 
bloom
Hi 5! I oso hate Meredith Grey cos of her super whiney voice. Grates on my nerves. But, oh well, to each his own...that's why guys like her...
Wah, u dreamt u were george clooney??!!!! I dun mind dreaming of a nice dinner with george clooney. haha!
 
dora

yeah! in the beginning, if you see jt got the poopoo face, 55 rip off her diapers and put her on it! then must do the urrgh urrgh sound! if she fusses and want to get out, don't force her! if she develop phobia of the potty! then die liao! what i do is i read to her whilst she's on the potty so she will guai guai sit there until she poos. but normally the longest is about 10 to 15 mins nia.

afcai

as for potty, try to get one that has a strong base cos you don't want your baby to topple whilst on it.

and even though i can understand if you don't want to bring tx home, but visiting is another matter altogether isn't it? ai-yo...

Lil

the round one may topple. actually potty shld grow with the baby. think maybe you bought one that is too large for E now. those elongated over ones are quite stable.
 
Dora,
FM cannot beat yr BM mah.....JT know mummy's BM is the best. She so smart leh
happy.gif


Bloom,
U bring Kate back every night, so u should be able to understand why i need to see Jovey everynight kekeke

afcai,
I am staying with my inlaw and they are helping to take care of Jovey. But Jovey will sleep in the same room with hubby and me. We both do the grave-yard shift so that inlaws can rest even though both of us need to work and Jovey still wake up for night feed.

One look at a sleeping bb can melt my heart and make me forget all my hardwork. You dont know what you are missing out. AI-YO!!!!
 
Doggiebb
Ya I know shd grow with bb but what i bot is the smallest size liao wor. Think E small bum bum...till now still wearing M size mamypoko with space to grow somemore
happy.gif


Elongated ones...u mean those u position over adult toilet bowl?
 
Hi ladies,

Wanna check if anyone got contacts for part time maid?

Mbb, saw your post abt meg lao sai. Lao sai really associate with teething? My boy also recently lao sai. but he seems ok no signs of discomfort so I din bring him to see pd
He can poo 2-3 times per day wondering is it normal also
 
<font size="+1">AI-YO <font size="+2">!!</font> AFCAI</font> <font size="+2">!!</font>

I cannot imagine not seeing my ger every night unless there is really really an unavoidable event.

Even that time, when my hb was overseas for 3 weeks, I still dash to & fro my mom's place everyday by myself. Some days when I'm late due to work constraint, I will still bring her home, settle her down liao, wait for her to sleep then take my dinner, do the housework and try to finish up my work at home.

I remember my sis used to leave her ger at my mom's place when my niece was still a baby. But she'll go over to her place, take over all the duties like feeding n bathing n changing, then wait for her ger to sleep liao then go home.

You know, time flies and before you know it, they'll be all grown up and you wouldn't want to miss any part of their growing process. Coz there is no room for regrets
 
Lil

no no! it's a potty but it's not round. Instead it's an elongated over shape. Being long, those are quite stable. I was looking at buying that FP potty but reckon that the hole was too big for my ger's bum so i settle for a cheaper but smaller one that fits.
 
Afcai
I'm one of those mummies that only bring my ger home friday nite to sunday. BUT, i go and see her EVERYNIGHT. Like jackie and Calynn, i oso cannot imagine not seeing my ger for 1 nite.
Ai-yo why must only see tx alternate days only ley? poor tx loh.

Like Cal's sis, everyday I will rush to my MIL's bathe her, feed her (she joins us at the dinner table), play with her, read, sing, get her ready for bed then go home when she sleep. Same as Jackie, see her sweet face, my heart melts and not tired oredi. Thats why i still hv energy take her gym, swimming on weekends without complaining.
Now year end liao i'm clearing leave and spending time with her.

Jackie
hi 5! i so understand what u mean when u say that seeing jovey make u forget all the hardwork.
 
afcai, think you should really consider seeing tx more often. like jackie, calynn, bobianah, and other mummies too, guess no matter how tired, once you see your little angel's face, its all worth it. i still pick and send my boy from my in-law's place everyday.
happy.gif
consider la.

dora, maybe jt will jus be one of those who dun like milk later in life. dun worry, let her get her calcium elsewhere. as long as she's feeding, its fine.
happy.gif


lil, if so worried, better bring ewan to see the doc before the weekend. take care!
 
ai-yo afcai

from your posting, i realised u only spend 15 to 20 min a day with tx cos you re busy with your pumping, dinner n going to toilet. so if u stop bf, you will ve more time for tx BUT u are thinking of whether to visit her everyday ornt????

i spend 24/7 of my time with philson even though i ve to give tuition, manage my online biz, mop n vacuum the floor everyday, cook n many other stuff. BUT even when my mum offers to look after him for awhile or let him stay over night at her place, i also cannot bear to. I still rem dat time when hubby n i went to watch transformer, i left my boy with my mum for dat 2 hrs, in between the show, i called my mum 2 ask abt my boy. i mayb abit kuang zhang. but the time with our bbies are so precious. in another mth or so, they are turning 1 liao. soon they will be teenager liao. by then u wanna hug n kiss n spend more time with them, they oso dun wan liao.
 
afcai,
me same as hwee, will bring ethan hm frm mil place every day... unless i work late then will drop by next day morning to see him b4 work... once in a while IL will wan ethan to stay over... tho i dun like it but will still stay till he fall asleep then go hm... will miss him in the middle of the nite...
 
mummies,
may I know which type of potty are u using nw? the wan I hd is the traditional (come with my guo da li set). I feel its nt stable.

bloom,
I bought the shoes like socks for Denise smtm fr a bp spree. 12-15cm shd b able to last till over 1yr.

Lil,
9.30am at coffee bean Ok. If nt McDonalds oso can
happy.gif

In my family only me n my sis hd this prob. Coincidently it happened when we both in poly days so dunno considered genetic. Heng Denise had quite a lot of hair when born. Hubby used to hv thick hair but aft married me, the hair loss prob transmitted to him. Lay Choo jus commented my place a lot of hair........hee
Think u jus bring Ewan to the doc for peace of mind.

Jac, Bobianah,
HIGH 5 on the part abt the sleeping bb. I jus can't stop kissing Denise when she is sleeping....

afcai,
hw I wished I can see Denise everyday leh. Initally, my plan is my parents stayed in my plc fr Mon to Fri so that I can see Denise everyday and oso to take over the nite feed since it will b xiong for my parents. After sm discussion, to be fair to them, she will stay with my parents from Sun to Wed. Wed afternoon my parents will bring her back to my plc. Always very excited to go home on Wed nite.
On Sun, I will only leave my parents place when she fell asleep. Can bear to c her cry while I go. (only do this once last wk n she was crying for 1hr. hear liao oso heart pain
sad.gif
)The moment I step out, already started to miss her.
Do agree its quite tiring for working mums like us and till nw I'm still doing nite feeds when Denise is home. But when u see hw they grow its really a mummy's joy n pride. I jus can't get enuff of her and I feel tm really files. This is smth tt we can't turn back the clock. Enjoy ur time w tx as much as possible.
happy.gif
 
roo, for potty, think its ok whichever type as you are still holding or at least near bb. i used the cheap plastic type like you too but tim won't poo there for dunno wat reason. i'm bringing him to the toilet now. holding him on the seat. will buy the child seat soon...

denise still on nite feed? i just have this feeling this nite feed will last for while for tim.... :p
 
today had appraisal, so disappointing no chance for promotion again. This boss really take me for granted, no matter how good i am he won't bother to promote me as he felt i am stuck here for sure. He said my score deteriorated bec last year most of them in my dept are new but this year they have gained experience so basically he is saying now he dun have to rely on me anymore lah, crap!

Mbb2, no wonder your hb dun allow. Understandable that its not good to overload our kids with classes else they dun have a happy childhood as their days are just packed with classes after classes. Regarding ballet,not sure if you aware, i was warned by a friend who practiced ballet that long term practicing of ballet will cause the feet to be "deformed" due to the type of shoes they have to wear gradually. I had wanted my elder girl to sign up initially but after hearing this, i let her go JG instead since she needs to improve on her English.
 
QSG,
my folks prevent me to learn ballet due to tat reason.
but i doubt so le....

Lil,
go piano lesson but hse bo piano at home can bo huh?
hb dun wanna Meg to learn piano coz he argue tat we cant fit one into our tiny flat.

he ask me to consider violin.
he gotta be kidding...wanna me suffer listening to Meg "killing chicken".

btw, i got the cheapo potty at one of the HDB shop at my plc. those tat sell container n household stuff.

Meg dun likey ex potty. her poo refused to shoot out.

Starluster,
the lao sai must not be too serious type wor.
it's not a fool proof sign of teething. but for Meg, it is....

Calynn,
is tat YOU??
posting here in the forum???
who got such POWER to invite you out???!

afcai ah afcai,
ai-yo, ai-yo, i think most mothers here r tired lah. i'm also a working mother. i rush home by 6:30pm to be with her b4 she falls asleep. when i step home, i might go to toilet, but i dun eat dinner n i dun drink soup until she's asleep, cos i'm already with her so few hrs a day, i want to maximise the time with her. i sleep with her every night since birth - thru her surgeries, thru the recovery period when she wakes up 3-4 times a night, thru all the nightmares she gets n thru all her behavioural changes. dun talk abt not sleeping with her, if i'm late due to work n cannot be there when she falls asleep, i will feel terrible already. recently, i also wake up at 6am to cook porridge for made. i feed her n let her nap b4 i go to work.

my hb is taking exams n working long hours. he returns at midnight a few times a wk n yet, i'm quite sure he spends more than 15-20 min with her each day. as it is, i already complain that he spends too little time with her. ai-yo.

i think u should stop pumping n try to spend more time with tx. ai-yo, i think tx is very eager for ur love n ur affection, but ur time is spend on washing dishes n eating dinner. if u r hungry, y not tabao something during tea break n eat on ur way to ur mum's place? tea breaks r a common occurrence in mindef right?

the enjoyable part abt bringing children up is the journey. our babies r almost 1 yr old liao. when she's older n ask u what she was like when she was younger, ai-yo, what can u say? can u tell her her little habits? tell her how she charmed u? like i said in my post to u n jen b4, b4 u know it, they hv their own friends liao. by then, even if u beg them, they might not be spending more than 20minutes with u in the same room every day.

Afcai!!
Aiyo... I know this sounds a bit harsh, but the way you put it, seems like your mum is more like tx's mummy than you!!! Your mum virtually looks after tx everyday and every night, fixed her routine, trains her to sleep and poo etc. Seriously, are you spending enough time with tx? I know everyone of us have our own ideas of our role as mummies, but your approach really baffles me. I totally agree with what the other mummies are saying, ie. once you stop bf, you should have more time and energy for baby, not less.

Mbb,
Agree with QSG. My hb's good friend is a dancer now based in NYC. He said she used to have very painful feet coz of ballet during school days, and it was terrible to see her cry.
 
Doggie

Ok ok.. will try it when hubby is back.. think its better if he is ard the 1st time I try it, in case I garang gabo!! yeah... phobia... tell me abt it!!! My princess JT has told mummy never force her to do things that she doesn't like.... if not she'll boycott it for the next 3 mths!! :p

I bot a cheap potty also, but it looks more stable then those conventional red ones lah... dunno if JT likes it or not... and the hole is very small... good for JT cos her butt is extremely small also :p

Afcai
I think all the mummies here pretty much said what I want to say liao.... I also think you should stop bf asap... then at least you get to take over 1 feed from your mum before tx goes to bed... no wonder you were saying that you need to spoonfeed tx milk during the weekends.... cos she is not used to you feeding her milk! At this stage, our baby's emotional needs is as, if not more important, then their nutritional needs.

Jackie
Aiya I know.... but my ss drop like crazy liao... she is definitely not getting enuf milk lor... bo bian since this girl is so stubborn... not enuf not enuf lor... have to see open if not I go crazy liao

Hwee
Yah, I am trying to give her other source of calcium.. but she's allergic to cow's milk, so no dairy for her .... and she's also allergic to ikan bilis!! Win liao lor... now I give her tofu, broccoli and the healthy times cereals and teddy puff which is calcium enriched... and also my miserable supply of BM lor...
 
Hi Mummies

I am very IMPRESSED with SAHM. I salute you! You can look after yr bb, do housework and cook all on your own. I wouldn't be able to achieve that at all. Just curious how do you do that? Do housework & cook only when bb sleep? I believe these days, bb are napping less during the day. If yes, how can you even manage?

Afcai
Like what many mummies here have said, tx would love to spend more time with u. If bf is taking too much of yr time, stop it lor. Anyway she is already 10 months. I stopped my bf a few weeks liao. A little sad but sooner or later have to stop also mah.

Looks like it's time to potty train my bb

...think with any muscial instrument, the inital stages of playing, everything wld sound like 'killing chicken'. If u decide to let her learn piano u wld need to hv one at home for her to practice. Actually why not be different n let her learn the cello (which I find more feminine than the violin). Once she can play, it sounds beautiful.

Afcai, mummies
Agree agree wif what u all say. All us mummies r tired but still we do what we hv to do for little darlings regardless, n their needs always comes 1st n our own needs last. To each their own n all that but hv to say I never understood the big deal abt giving up pumping EBM so that u can spend more quality time with ur bb (unless u hv no choice like Dora). I gave up pumping at 3-4mths cos I realised that's all I spent my time doing...pumping n washing. Hv to say I m also quite shocked sometimes to hear abt u ignoring bb tx's needs (like nite feeds) so u can squeeze in another 1/2 hrs sleep. We r all sleep deprived but that's all part n parcel of becoming a mummy. When we see them smile at us or hug us, all the tears shed r forgotten.

Altho on bad days I also gripe abt being SAHM but actually I think I wld hv chosen this road regardless. It's a privillege to be able to watch every min of them growing up. HB n I were just saying last nite that even tho E is so clingy, always wants to be hugged, we dun mind at all (in fact we love it) cos we know once they grow older they wun want hugs n kisses liao le...SOB SOB SOB! Everynite when my hb comes back he will try his best to squeeze every min he can to spend with E. Even if E is alseep he will also go in n sayang n kiss him.
 
Dora

Must see 'open' otherwise will go mad. Than your hubby come home to a mad wife and a cranky bb.

mbb,
HIGH FIVE!!!!!!!!! r our hubbies long lost twins brothers??? my hubby said the exact thing!!!!!!!!

afcai,
I stopped bf aft 8weeks of giving birth cos I felt depressed not being able to spend time with Denise due to expressing. Knowing the fact that breastmilk is the best, I feel if I'm resented abt the whole process, no pt doing it. Mayb the milk oso will b of bad quality cos all the stress hormones in it haha.......
During then I kept questioning myself whether I'm doing the right thing and feel gulity for not giving her the best. But I had no regrets after setting my mind cos the time spent with her is more important to me.
