Astro: Do u intend to have more than 1? If yes, then the playyard is a very worthwhile investment. Trust me!

Oh yah.. I read that if mummy during preggie don't like to eat something, then baby won't like it either? Not true for my case leh.. I hated milk! Only drank a little during preggie. So little that now I'm thinking that could be the reason anna's complexion is not the fair-fair type. But anna is ok with her milk leh..
happy.gif


Teats/Cups/Straw/Nipple confusion: This one anna also don't have. She's quite versatile. Anything also can. Reason could be becos we used all types of teats with her when NB. She was at my nipples, and we also intro the teats very early.. And we changed from Avent, to pigeon, to Dr Browns and back.. So I think she's quite accustomed to the different teats.. And she likes water - in bottles she drink more, with mag mag cup, slowly but still manageable, sippy cup also liddat..
Good thing she's not fussy..

Again, I think this has to do with the adults' doing leh. If we intro and they show dislike, we should not give up. Should give and give until they're used to it. Remember that babies are very very adaptable wan.. Don't give them the power to "reject" something so quickly..
 
i slept quite a lot last night as compared to last time. Tian slept from 8pm to 6am this morning.. woke up once, then i brought her to my bed cause i really sleepy. then we slept till this morning... good good. looks like she dun wake up for nothing when sleeping with me. sigh!!

huingee, yalor. we all go eat wind without hb.. cause hb always busy and dun have time for us. haha!! then their market value also depreciate. hee hee.
 
QQ,
you drive to clementi then back to woodlands can practise liao

astro,
if you only want to buy one item, i would suggest the play yard rather than the giraffe. better mileage
 
baby girl,
it's a good idea to read archives and catch up when forum is down hor. i never think of that leh.

QQ, cos tian has your warmth to zzz with mah. it's better to have a warm body next to you then to zzz alone in a cot right?
happy.gif
 
astro, why u wanna buy girrafe? huh? for standing?

SQ, yalor, clementi to woodlands everyday... super good training. heavy rain last night somemore, my hands trembled.

bbgirl, u are very lucky leh, i find. anna is very good, adaptable, steady.. i kept giving tian milk until she fed up and milk strike.. sore throat, etc etc. u haven't met a baby who really dun open her mouth, really zip that type (without any hole, tight). i also use many teats on her, she also cannot make it. use sippy cup with can drink from strawcup now. I gave her sippy cup for 4 months. everyday... also dun way
 
baby girl,
haha....... i know it's a good idea to read, but i also dun. hee hee
happy.gif
no prob about the mail. i just pass on the kindness of other mummies *wink*

QQ,
i also think baby girl has a good bb to start with
happy.gif
lucky mama

so does tian drink milk from her straw cup?
 
re: yogurt
still dun have the courage to make my own
the store bought ones, expire before bb can finish them. can i freeze them? cos baby yoplait says do not freeze (why?), but i freeze liao leh. cos YE can't finish in time, so sayang to keep throwing

that's why i'm so envious that QQ, Yvonne, astro stays so near each other. can share food
happy.gif
 
SQ, no milk lar. only water. cause the water keeps splashing out from the straw cup. She drinks like there is no tomorrow, have to finish that type. suck suck suck until all wet, but only 10% water goes into her stomach, i think.

u reminded me something.
I will buy a whole bunch of mini banana and wait for teng, bel to come wallop all of them next tuesday. haha!!

realised i accidently cut away some words in previous posts.. haha!! read also cannot make sense. haha!
 
QQ,
YE drinks lidat also. think they dunno how to stop (unless almost choking liao). so i will control for her. let her take a few sips. stop. then let her resume. it gets better with subsequent sips.
 
QQ, SQ: Is it? I give thanks to God for an "easy" baby..
happy.gif


But the teats part.. I've heard cases of mummies who insisted on only direct latching in the beginning and no other substitutes. She was so successful the baby refused to use milk bottles or any other teats and refused to drink formula.
 
QQ, SQ: Anna is also liddat with the straw. I think a lot of it goes onto her top than into her tummy..

Last night, before finally putting her into her cot, I carried and sang to her. Gave her a bolster to bao bao and her paci. Trying to "condition" her it's bedtime and she needs to go to bed. Then when I put her into her cot, she still cried and fussed a little. But definitely an improvement from days before..
happy.gif
Today I will try this again.. No strenuous or loud activity before zzz-ing.. Make it a slow transition until she goes to bed..
happy.gif
happy.gif
 
how long did you sing and dance?
you should let her go kindermusik if she enjoys it. YE loves the dancing part
happy.gif


she still on paci? tot she doesn't want liao
 
babygirl,
the last assessment i went is with a PD... he also played peekaboo with bel.. she smile at him... i so sad lor... cos whenever i play with her... she just give mi a stupid face..
 
SQ: Hee.. You too? My CL told us to substitute formula into her feed sporadically to accustom the baby to the taste/teat. I also don't have that much milk so I thot why not substitute. I thnk we started her in the 3rd month. One formula feed a day and we will freeze the remaining BM..
 
Gd morning Mummies

Quite some time never come into this forum. Hope all mummies & babies are well.

Today is the 4th day that my gal is in Infant Care. She's still crying every morning there. I m really heartpain to see her crying for me. Sob sob...

The Infant care teacher told me tat becos she's already 8mths plus old, have recongised people & environment, so it'll be more difficult for her to settle in. Yesterday, when I brought her back from the IC, her eyes was a bit swollen. I really very heartpain...
 
SQ: Not sure how long. I sang to her "Jesus loves me this I know". I think repeated the song once or twice. WHen I plaecd her in her cot, I stopped. SHe cried, so I continued singing a while.. Then ask maid to take over from me.

Her paci? She's not dependent on it, but likes it anyway. So we give it to her once in a while, just before she goes to sleep.

Yvonne: Anna smiles everytime we play peekaboo. In fact, now she tried to "hide" herself and play peekaboo with us! Except she doesn't know how to say peekaboo as she does it..
One of the Brainy Baby dvd is on peekaboo.
 
baby girl,
you are funnie. still can ask maid take over somemore

yvonne,
don't take it personally. it's a new face to her mah, the PD. it's a novelty. doesn't mean she doesn't like you if she doesn't smile at your peekaboo

pop,
mine's also crying nowadays when i leave her with mil. and she's been going there everyday since she was 3 months. they will learn after a while.

how come yours suddenly go IC?
 
SQ: Re kindermusik, I really want to try out Shauna first. (Oh yah, remember you asked what's the other teacher's name - I forgot, didn't register at all. She had straight long hair, no glasses). I'm wondering if there are other music lessons for babies.
 
Michelle: I've now come to read the part that K is 9kg liao. Anna is only 9.35kg when we measured yesterday. Think K is at least 1mth (maybe even 2mths) younger right?

Sleeping: I remember reading that baby needs to rest to grow and develop - both physically and intellectually. So it's very impt that babies have enuf sleep.. And when they are sick, need to sleep even more so they can recover quicker..

Astro: How's Teng now?
 
mash,
aiyo, your fridge "conk off" huh?? so poor thing... that day, i discoverd my freezer door also didn close properly, lucky found out early, so all my "blood and efforts" still intact... phew!!! stress leh, need to build up reserve...

Angel,
you going to gym class this sun?? hahaha... my boy can take pix w kaiser liao... hehehe.... so is your hubby going also??? hahaha... must prevent my hubby from drooling.. hahaha..

astro,
regarding sleeping schedule, yeah... i know can be done thr some training... Currently difficult lah, cos my mil looks after my boy, her schedule equals no schedule!! lucky i insist on milk schedule. You know hor, my mil sometimes feed lreakfast/lunch, sometimes dun. i already told her, eating mus hv schedule and timing one, cannot anyhow... but seems like didn get into her leh. My energy is draining and running out liao...

re: flu bug

QQ,

sad.gif
 
SQ: The weather is very cold these 2 days. Unless it becomes fine and sunny again, not advisable to go to the pool leh.. Too cold..
happy.gif


I wonder how is Astro.... And Teng...
 
SQ
Is a long story. All becos of my sis in law, she has jus given birth to her 2nd son 2mths back. Initially, my ger together wif her elder son was taken care by my inlaws.

After she has given birth, she suggested tat to share costs to hire a maid 2gether wif my inlaws to take care of the 3 children. But herself & her husband are not earning much so she said tat the maid to be put under me & my hubby's name. Also, for the initial deposit (ard 2K) of the maid, she said don't hv tat much $$ to pay, so asked us to pay for it 1st also.

I told my hubby tat firstly, the responsibility of the maid is on us becos is put under our name. Secondly, how to distribute the costs of the maid? She has 2 children, we only have 1. And also the maid living, medical etc expenses, who's gg to pay? Thirdly, his sis may not be able to pay us promptly for the maid expenses. Finally, is an additional costs to us as we need to pay my inlaws as well.

So conclusion, my hubby decided to put our ger into IC. Main reason is not to cause any family disharmony.
 
Oh yes.. Yesterday was Anna's first time in a taxi. When I first put her on the seat before I got in myself, she cried! I think she's got new environment/stranger/separation anxiety, was afraid we'll leave her there and forget abt her. Only when I went into the taxi and put her on my lap did she stop crying..
 
pop,
you scare me. my sil also delivering this month or next. and my mil who was taking care of my gal also wants to go and be her CL. so i've got to ask my mum to come over and help. very bad timing actually cos now our babies going through separation/stranger anxiety period. i already suspect my mil's gonna give me alot of problems with last min requests to dump my bb and go over to sil's house. sian.

yes, IC is a good choice in your case.

your SIL very clever hor. no $ still wanna say and suggest so much! buay tahan!

i'd better call my mum to make bb sitting arrangements soon also
 
Mist
Yeah! We can finally meet! Then I will show Kaiser his 'brother' hahaha...he's born at 9pm so I guess he is younger.
Aiyah, dun make my hubby paiseh leh...
 
Pax: On second thots, I think the tall round spagetti ware can be used to put the cheerios! Yes, I order 1 set from you. Should I take cranberry (as before) or try the blue cover? Any advise?

My niece (she's 5) loves to take the MRT now cos she was very deprived of it.. My SIL sometimes brings her to take the MRT all over the island just for fun..
 
baby girl,

astro,

mash,
lidat might as well get new fridge
 
hi mummies,
muah busy with my exam. Last paper this coming monday after that i Can sing Ah Mei jie tuo liao.
Any mega gathering coming out? So no Christmas gathering huh?

HI Pop, understand how you feel to see gal cry when u left her in the IC. Just ask the teachers to shower her with more hugs and attention first lor and dun let her cry too long. Till now Clyde still sob a bit when i pass him to the IC teacher. But he knows lor no matter how hard he cry, mummy will still need to leave for work. I told the teacher not to let C cry too long lor. Cos i dun want him to come back with coarse voice. I know IC teacher will have many kids to take care but dun care lah just instruct them lor.

Actually IC teachers do know how to pretend. I normally will go to the IC to accompany Clyde after work while waiting for hb to fetch us. So I have ample time talking to the teachers and observe them. I notice the IC teachers will be esp nice to the baby if they know the parents is there hiding or approaching. So they will play with them instead of leaving them to play alone. You know what I mean. To me, as long as you dun let my boy suffer meaning take too long to attend to him when cry or let other babies bully him. I am fine. You leave him there to play or play with him is secondary to me.
 
Anna is on her hi-chair eating her cheerios next to me...
happy.gif
I'm happy..
happy.gif
I open my mouth and ask for one from her, she doesn't know how to give it to me leh..

BBgirl

the other day, Jo din wan to finish her milk, so i poured some into a cup and let her drink some from straw.. she drank... i think i'll slowly let her drink fr straw.. then to cup..
 
BBgirl
i dun think ur niece is deprived, but kids generally love to take trains and buses... serious... both M and Jo have already been on trains and buses..
 
Pax: Ok... I'll take the cranberry set. What's your account? I transfer to you. And where do I collect? No hurry, wait til you recover first..
happy.gif


They definitely enjoy the ride! When Anna is older, I'll bring her take the MRT too..
