springD: In last mth's issue of mother n baby mag there was an issue on dev milestones. it was written tt bb @ ten mths will strt crawling. so your son not considered slow la. Like u said he is v curious @ touching things. So he could hve been concentrating on exploring w hands n gave them priority over crawling. as for the magic cooker, it's just a pot w no power supply.

Jo, and the rest of mommies - about maids:
I suggest you shld have a discussion with them about your expectation... spelling out in details what you want. You shld not think that they understand what you mean since they are coming from different cultures.
When a few of my friends and myself hired a maid here, we interviewed them alternately and asked them situation quesions. Like, 1) it's already 530pm and you need to cook, who will you prioritize, looking after the baby or cook? what will you do first? 2) What will you do if everyone in the family is sick on a sunday which is your day off? Will you proceed with your day off? Will you change it? It's endless questions and sometimes, no right / wrong answers but it gives you an idea of their motivation and their priorities. You might be able to have an idea of their character before hiring them.
Maids chat a lot- it's their past time. Let me share with you- my own nanny chit chat a lot while waiting for me outside the school when i was a kid. She was my nanny for 5-6years and in the end, she eloped with security guard! Sounds stupid but true!
Whenever i see my maid chatting with an other one, I would usually ask her who is she talking to and what they spoke about. I think my maid is also open to me so she tells me most of the time. I do not tell her not to talk to them, I encourage her to talk so she knows the experience of other maids and compare it with her current situation.
The more you say don't to them, the more stubborn they are...
Apologies for the long blog, hope this helps...

spring D: lele used to be mre reserved w strangers too. he will just stare @ them w/out even blinking even tho never cry. so we keep bringing him out to meet n interact w people... ... downstairs w some sweeper lady, playgrd w kids n other caregivers, lift w neighbours, shopping centres w good-willed aunties, inside the cab w driver ...basically anywhere w anyone who cared interact.
It took some time but he gradually opened up n now I think all the strangers r like his friends cos he won't mind them touching him (in fact he will hold out his hand for them to touch) or carrying him...

AUgleo-- wah you are a wonderful mum!! I have not done anything and will prob not do much except buy a small cake..
Re: Perfect Child
I managed to catch some parts of the show last nite- very impressive.. they were mainly talking abt Shichida method. Featured this (I think) 7 year old girl who after a glance at a card filled with 20 objects can recite all 20 objects!! Then another boy (prob 8 years old?) who can 'communicate' telepathically with his mum.
Oh and they advocate this 8 seconds hug very day.. has to be at least 8 seconds.
Any mummies want to go trial class for Shichida? (tongue-in-cheek haha)

Re: Walking
Any babies walking already?
My bb J gave me a fright today.. he just stood up and attempted to walk on his own. He took one step and then fell on his bum. Cos most time, his way of walking is to lunge forward and I am so afraid he'll fall on his face and hurt himself.

mrc chia,
how are you? long time no see
btw, shicinda does not offer trial class. i must say i am impressed by their set up. they have several language usually in a session.
dlim has signed up bbJ and i know a few mummies who babe has already attended several months already.
if you are interested, there is one at HDB Hub which is nearby to you, they arelocated at LEvel 19, east wing. like i say, there is no trial class. bt if u are interested, they do organise talk(think its already $100+) cant remb exact amount which is redeeemable if u sign up lah. think 1 semester is ard $800+.

Traz
My maid is from Indonesia and she speaks good English. Previous one also quite ok. As in, I understand her and she understands me. Indonesia maids don't need off days as compared to most Filippinos.
I really pei fu you. I can't imagine having to work and take care of bb at the same time. All this SAHM stuff is driving me bad enough. You have to take good care of your health though. Must get sufficient rest for the little one inside you.
I usually give rusk or bb biscuits to bbG just like that. But I try to make her drink more water from her favourite Barney bottle.
Cool Daughter
Really disgusting right! I can't believe it myself. The worse thing is, he's married! Damn bas****.
My current maid worse, last time when she come hor, got BO leh. Like her clothes not dry enough kind of smell. Luckily she's 'cleaner' now. In fact, quite hiao leh. Coz when we went BKK during CNY, she ask us to give her some money to buy clothes leh. But she keep them la, say wanna bring home.
Funniest thing is the agency we went to (FIL intro one), the owner is a chee ko pek. Look decent but then ask trainee maids to show him their breast. Then he was jailed. This news was in the papers sometime last year. I showed my maid the newspaper cutting and she was shocked lor. Luckily she never ganna.
Kelley
I prefer Indonesia maid coz they cooking is more to our taste, rather than Filippino, I think. Other than most of them come from kampong, I think they're more down to earth, in general though I've experienced an exceptional one.
Michelle
Wah, your friend so good to bbK hor.
Beyond/ Dlim
I'm a very bad mummy. Never really get things done. Only ordered the cake (eCreative) and buffet (ylscatering) lor. Bought some ballons which I'm gonna blow it myself. That's all. But I've prepared some goody bags for my friends' kids and bbs.
Dlim
Aiya, at least you walk behind bbJ hor. I gotta crawl after bbG leh. Backache. I guess all bbs are super hyperactive at this age coz suddenly, they're mobile and they've got so much things to explore!
When bbG kicked my slow cooker's glass cover off the table top, I slap her thighs really hard till got finger marks leh. She wailed so loudly and I scolded her some more. Till my maid can't take it and carry her away from me. I abit mad sometimes one. Vent on a bb.
Min
Same lor. I give milk in the morning then it's porridge for lunch already. I still have some cereal which I wanted to prepare for bb's breakfast but then every morning, I still very sleepy so just chop chop make milk and snuggle back to bed with bb. BbG poor thing coz she deprives of fruits so to explain her constipation problem.
Springdance
I'm the opposite of you. My hb is the 'kind' one.
Aprilmum
Suddenly I miss the feeling of bb kicking inside me. Quite shiok though uncomfortable. I hated the last part when the tummy gets so huge I can't squat or sit on the floor or sleep properly coz I love sleeping on my chest.
Sanrio
Wah, your niece really gifted leh.
Mrs Chia
You must be really excited about bbJ walking! BbG still tip toeing around. My mum said bbs with small n narrow heels will walk later so I guess she won't be starting soon.

Below is the excerpt from wholesome baby foods website on topic of whole cow's milk for baby.
http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/milkforbaby.htm
Milk for Baby - When can Baby Drink Whole Cow Milk?
The Age for Introducing Whole Cow Milk to Baby: 12 Months
Why is Milk not recommended before age 12 months?
Whole Cow Milk does not contain enough nutrients, vitamins or minerals to adequately and properly sustain an infant's growth.
“Infants fed whole cow's milk receive inadequate amounts of Vitamin E, iron, essential fatty acids, and excessive amounts of protein, sodium, and potassium. These levels may be too high for the infant's system to handle."
Indeed, prior to the age of 1 year old, consumption of a lot of dairy products may put baby at risk for iron deficient anemia.
Milk impedes the proper absorption of iron and iron is one thing that an infant can not afford to have cut down or cut out of the diet. Additionally, whole cow's milk protein and fat are more difficult for an infant to digest and absorb. The most dramatic effects are on iron levels in the body.Recent studies show infants often have depleted levels when started on cow's milk at six months of age." MerckSource Dairy Facts - Infants
Did you know that Toddlers aged 1 year through 2 years do not need as much milk/dairy as you may think. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that 16 ounces of whole milk per day is all your toddler will need. Calcium for Infants & Toddlers (AAP).
It is thought that more than 16 ounces of milk per day may put an toddler at risk for anemia as well as nutrient displacement - a toddler who consumes too much milk will most likely not be eating all the whole foods that he needs!

Did you know that Toddlers aged 1 year through 2 years do not need as much milk/dairy as you may think. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that 16 ounces of whole milk per day is all your toddler will need. Calcium for Infants & Toddlers (AAP).
It is thought that more than 16 ounces of milk per day may put an toddler at risk for anemia as well as nutrient displacement - a toddler who consumes too much milk will most likely not be eating all the whole foods that he needs!

Re: Cheerios
Bot one box like 2 months back...hardly give bb...he doesn't really like them and I find the smell too strong..not exactly smelly but just too strong to be pleasant...now still 1 big packet sitting in my overcrowded fridge..
I prefer to give bb Weetabix soaked in milk...

Re - Schicida class
I have enrolled my Jayden & his class will start next mth. Yes I agreed its very exp,
per term (consist of 3mths) already cost $800++. We just want to give it a try. I know
is very exp but I dun mind to invest on my son...hahah..very kia su rite!
The person in charge did mentioned at least let yr child try out 1 year. Do not drop
out half way through. Beside that, mummy has to attend a special class organise for
mummy. We also have to do homework at home everyday at least for abt 15-20 mins i think.

Modern Montessori Institute: My hub's colleague sends her DD to MMI in Sengkang and she is totally happy with this decision even tho the school fee is exorbitant. She described to my hub till he is rather impressed. Her DD is now 3/4 but already know maths concepts of ones, tens, hundreds and thousands very well. She can easily "read" a 4 digit number. It seems MMI focuses quite a lot on teaching "real life". For one of the project, she was encouraged to investigate the lifecycle of a fish.
Aug: JK can walk liao huh? CONGRATS...
So now you can add another agenda to his party.... CATWALK! hee hee..................
classes: for me right now, sending Lele to lesson is more of a pressure-free thing. Dun expect him to actually show me what he has learnt. As long as we all enjoy the lesson it is enough liao. So I dun wan something too ex like shichida. Maybe when he is past 3 I will "invest" more into education.
