Irin,
thanks.. i am not purposely following that thread la.. just that I chanced upon it on Sat night so I was reading..

Yvonne,
hiaz.. i still scared he not enough and still think of increasing EJ's milk somemore!! jialat hor.
 
I was thinking of not exactly doing the full CIO but i train her to sleep w/o me carrying her.l meaning i let her cry and i pat her to sleep.. will this work har? or faster to let her super cry and i leave the room???
 
Autum,
Reyden's feeding schedule quite similar to EJ except that he doesn't have the 3.30pm 'teabreak'. And he has an additional meal of porridge/mee sua/macaroni/pasta at 5pm for dinner.

Starfruit: unfortunatley.. NO .. Rae will cry even harder to get ur attnetion..
ehh. shall i pass u my sleep guide one of these days? where do u stay?
happy.gif
 
Babygirl.. haha... I also no energy leh.. i feel old liao.. not as young as you mummies here!

Irin,
wau, you give such creative foods to Reyden.. mee sua.. cook with what huh?? hmm, recently I feel that EJ has lost weight leh.. he getting taller so seems to be thinner.. face also not so chubby liao.
 
autum.. and mummies..

at the expense of being called naggy hor.. let me reinterate my pt here.. bbs ur age.. need to increase solids liao.. not increase milk.. coz they are weaning.. off what? milk.. so need eat more solids.. and not increase milk.. coz too much milk affects solids consumptions.. which will make them drin k more milk.. vicious circle..
 
ASTRO!
i told u liao... that's absolutely NOTHING WRONG with Teng... i read ur posts on ur visit to Dr Ong, i really wan to LAUGH! Wahahahahaha... sorry lah...
 
star: ya. peep.. dun pat her to sleep.. patting to sleep is another sleep association.. rid one, create one? hmm.. cannot lah. not worth the effect..
sad.gif
 
Autum,
then don't anyhow 'chanced' uopn other threads, just stay put here. More positive environment here. hehehe.

YY,
remembered that time we 'do' for almost 10 days consecutively till my hubby told me it's gonna be the last time he's doing it on the last day of the 'supposed' ovulation period . And true enough, that was the last time for the next 9mths, hahaha!
 
IRin: 10 days consecutively.. SIONG!!! i dun have energy lei.. even though i as yojng as u :p.. teng dunno how come get conceived.. i think fated lah
happy.gif
 
Autum,
basically I feed them everything that's soft & can be swallow without much chewing. hehe. Meesua cook with threadfin or pork. I add in some minced button mushroom/carrot/spinach also. Reyes likes soupy stuff so I cook meesua & macaroni for them then don't have to cook soup separately mah. hahaha!
 
HI!!!(A BIG WAVE TO all mummies), finally got time to log in after so many tiring and tedious daz looking after Fabian.

Guess i got pages of archives to read thru. Dunno if i can catch up. Any juicy news to update?
 
astro
i really can't stop laughing.. how much did u spend???

star
the best way for CIO is to leave her SAFE in the room. as long as she's safe and would not get herself into any dangers.
u can modify a bit, go in every 10 min for half hr, then lengthen to 20min. check on her, pat her and tell her that she'll be ok and kiss her goodnite and u'll check on her later.. dun carry her. then leave the room.
 
yy,
Come to think of it, we were quite crazy then. My hubby also cannot tahan. haha! But the 'craziness' pays off.
happy.gif
 
BBgirl,
no lah, not every single night of the month lah. Just for that period of time when you are ovulating. But cos I don't know mine's a 28th or 30th day cycle so we do it over spread of 10 days.
 
Astro dear..
yes yes.. i know u NAGGED many many times liao about cutting down on milk.. but I kiasu leh.. and then no energy to cook dinner.. I was thinking of freezing meat purees.. how to do that huh? Pls advise.. I mean, if say I poach fish in milk.. then the whole thing puree and freeze ah? seems funny to me leh. also hor, as baby get older, cannot everything puree right.. so can freeze the fish/meat in pieces ah? I feel stupid asking this kind of questions! haha..

Pax.. u so funny, laugh at Astro.. actually hor, I also want to laugh at her!!! wahahahahahaha.. Okie.. Astro going to ah bish me liao! run!
 
Pax: *ah bish* !!! :pPP.. $70 plus.. i think same as dr low.. but i got many med.. so 'worth; the visit. Dr Ong.. she very confident..the way she speaks, i a bit scared of her.. haha

star: ya.. what pax suggests.. is the controlled crying method. in the book. so.. u want the book :p.. got many other disscusion also.. waking up earlier and earlier.. etc.. interesting read :p

bbgirl: "In His own time"..this is exactly what Joelle told me the other time when i got worried for teng's development!

and yep.. i read somewhere. quality of sperms will indeed deteriorite.. coz not time to 'replenish'.. men very tired after s*x one.. not for no rhyme and reason .. hee
 
autum: go ahead laugh at me lah.. I am tat kind.. not afraid to share my silly mistake mah.. now u all know also.. cannot carry too much.. coz got manipulative bbs like teng one!

yeap.. cannot everything puree.. coz u need to intro them to texture.. so that they can learn to chew/gum.. slowly puree lesser and lesser.. soon. they will be eventually be ablt to accept chopped and soft lumps..

hmm.. think u can try to puree it less finely first.. poached fish in milk.. then eventually becoming flaked fish.. bbs can manage one..

whey. how come noone say i good job ah? only laugh at me! :p.. teng NO teeth hor.. but i still manage to get him to gum lumps of carrots and potatos hor.. and big lumps hor!!! alamak. u all ah.. cannot encourage the fool a bit one..sian.. :p
 
astro
wat med did Dr Ong give Teng? her consultation $40? did u tell her u know Matthew and Jo's mommy? heeeee....

Autum
^5.. really Funny right!!! wahahaha... Astro's only worries are that Teng not being able to crawl and pulling himself to stand... heeee...
 
pax,astro,bb girl: i got 1 qs..so what happen if i find her sitting up and crying? Do i lift her up and lie her back down on the cot??

Astro: i wanna read ur book leh but dunno how to pick up from u. me stay damn far away from u leh. nvm lah, dun trouble, i read the online resource.
 
IRin: two already verysolid liao. i think u more solids.. can release two eggs at the same time.. that's why x and y sperms mah.. differnt ability to survive..
 
wow so much discussion tonight!

babygirl
is it really safe for bb to fall on bumber mat? leia cruises in her playpen in auntie's place, at home, i just let her crawl on ABC mat which i can fit piece by piece, bumper is a bit huge for my living room space, but i guess if i get it now, it's a little late rite?

ok the thing is leia can fall in the playpen without getting hurt, but she doesnt know that she can't do that outside of playpen, and thats why i have to watch over her all the time.

agree with you that every child is different. you mentioned that Anna is bad tempered, any examples?

Autum
i just feel tat u can pamper EJ, he's really a good boy by nature. As for me, from the very first day, I know this girl is bad tempered, if i don't discipline her, she'll be a spoilt brat next time. we know our child best.
her daddy has his own theory, he'll pamper girl but not the boy, cos boy has to be man of the house next time.

by the way, wat makes u decide to try 2nd? i came to this site because i wanted to learn about ways to conceive, me not easy..i had to take clomid pills to induce ovulations, i took that for 3 rounds and got preggie with first one, i believe my egg was not strong enuf which is why it didnt develop well. if u are trying now, start taking folic acid okie. sometimes i also wonder whether to try since its not easy for me to strike, but a lot of unsettled issues with our biz and Leia doesnt even have a room, so i cant possibly have another one, besides im so afraid tat i cant walk again..crab-walking to my kitchen's toilet is a nitemare.

starfruit
happy mommy today!!!! little brave rae started her attempt to crawl

today i found out that my girl follows anyone who carries her to go gai gai! omigod, so easy to con her!
 
Baby Girl: I was told if u want a boy, get ur hubby to drink HOT coffee before the sex.. as for why hot coffee er.. cannot remember liao
 
pax: if i could onli strangle u now! :p.. i dunno leh.. i was too engrossed to listen to her.. forgot to get discount from her.. by mentioning ur name. though i keep reminding myself too..

star: ignore her.. dun touch her.. where do u stay? i do delivery service.. :p.. aiya.. me is like that one.. dun flip hor.. tha ttime also visit sal at hospital .. lend her the tracy hoggs book

gave me $5 discount.. FBI card? total $73.. think cheaoer than dr low..
 
Starfruit,
erm, I didn't really want to comment on CIO, cos I don't really advocate that. Just to share with you how I so-called "trained" EJ to sleep.. and maybe you might find it worth a try..

ok, last time, EJ also needs me to put him to sleep. Put him to sleep means, every night, before sleeping, I will carry him close to me (he in upright position).. then I will sit in front of the fan and just sayng/sing/talk to him for a while before putting him to bed.

Put him to bed (last time) means, I will have to stand next to the cot and sing somemore and sayang. Then gradually it got to no more singing, but he will flay his arms and legs about.. so I will stand next to the cot, holding down his arms and legs so that he will not disturb himself. Then gradually this limbs flaying stopped.. he will scratch his head, so I will stand there and scratch his head for him.. I can stand there for like 15mins!

At this stage, I start to stand next to the cot a lesser time each day or whenever i can. I will stand there a while, then quickly walk away as I see that he seems to be falling asleep.. sometimes it works, sometimes he will scream some more.. so I will have to go right back in and stand next to the cot to scratch/comfort him.. but one thing is, I never pick him up from the cot.. perhaps once or twice.. but almost never. Cos I didn't want to create the habit of I must pick him up every time he cry. So I rather have my tired arms and legs standing next to the cot, than to pick him up..

now, gradually I try to leave him to sleep by himself as much as I can. ie. now sometimes, I just put him in his cot.. and he will roll and roll around in the cot, and then fall asleep. so now, about 70% of the time, he can sleep on his own, 20% of the time, I must stand there (5-10mins), 10% of the time screaming (more pacifying needed).

One thing to note is that I use the pacifier all this while.. which I know you don't. So you have to think of something else. Hmm, you might want to try this gradual approach instead of full CIO? I dunno if it can be done or if I am making sense! sorry for my super long post..
 
Autum: thanks for the advise.. i also reading now.. trying to see if i have other option that does not require CIO.. but base on what i have read so far, it seems like CIO is the fastest and best way for me now ..but of cos dunno it will be successful for me a not, cos there are also cases where baby do not response to CIO and attempt fails lah..not 100% one.
 
Star: it's harder in ur case.. got of the dependency. Autum's fortunate.. because in her case.. from her description.. EJ jas not developed any dependency problems yet..

ehh.. book also got gradual method.. want read? :p haha
 
Astro
tropex ear drops? muscosolvan syrup? i know polararmine and ventolin is for runny nose and airway.. the other two? wat ezema cream she gave?
 
Haha, today I make my girl "fa zhan". I have no place to put her while I'm getting prepared for the day (brushing etc.). Put her in cot, she will stand up and walk about in it. Put her on my bed, she will try to crawl off it. Put on floor, I scared she go and topple my big mirror or go lick toilet floor. Today, I discovered a method to immobilise her. Put her against the wall. She can't move from there cuz she dun dare/dunno how to sit down. LOL. So I finally can brush, wash face and change clothes in peace and she din even make a peep!



But hor, so sad, she is getting skinnier and skinnier. My MIL weigh her today, she is only 7Kg. All due to having less than 1 hour worth of nap in the day. Over the weekend, she managed to sleep more than 2 hours in naps, but come week day, each nap barely hits 30 minutes, sianz.

PAx: how many times did Jo fall before she learned to hold on ah? i thin kof all the crying. . veri=y sian.. and my mum.. she dun feel anything wrong fore teng not to move yet.. sian.. think i forsee another argument like last time with her liao.. sian..
 
Pink,
yah, I remembered you suffered quite a bit from your preg with Leia.. then after that also got eye problem.. why i want 2nd one ah.. I think if just one kid, the kid will be like so alone leh. I think it's good to have a sibling. I also feel very old liao (ok, I know we same age).. but physically I am more worn out cos I got no help right.. so I think if I want to have another one, then better be quick or else really no energy and cannot cope.

Folic acid, yeah I am taking now. It's precisely of this small little yellow pill, which is so damn cheap.. yet I have never heard of folic acid before I was ever preg.. that caused me so much misery (for my first preg).. that's why I feel so "cheated"..

EJ good boy ah.. hmm, i think he so far ok la.. but then who knows.. maybe now then he start showing true colours! hah.
 
jialat, i lost track...have we hit 12pax for the kindermusik trial session for this coming sunday 2/12? I cant find the posting.

pink, hope u hv recd the trsf.
happy.gif
 
mejo!! haha.. so cute.. ur punishement..

PAx: ear drops cos teng's ear got wax built up. and he scatching on it nonstop.. like dog like that.. and his ezema cream is the ezzera. non steriod based. coz teng has shingles before.. so dun risk it.. if not applying steriod cream to suspected shingle rash.. will trigger bigbig flareup.. like last time *sigh*

hmm.. correct u slightly.. my next worry for teng.. catching shingles again
