Gene,
Though it is a bit harsh to use syringe but better than not taking any fluid and have dehyration and go for drip right. Sometimes just need to be a bit hard hearted leh.
Hope she's getting better.

Hello mummies,
the zoo photos are nice. Everyone seems to be having fun. Ahh...its been years since I last went. Was the weather bearable?
Leo,
If Im not wrong, spinach and tofu better not to be taken together becos the calcium in tofu will decreases the absorption of iron in spinach.
Gene,
correct me if im wrong

Good Morning!!!
Hope all of u enjoyed ur Mothers' Day with ur loved ones yesterday.
Hb suggested going for the tree top walk since yday's weather was nice and breezy.
Ended up he parked at the furthest carpark, we (=hb + 5 mths pregnant me + maid + 11.5kg hippo w/o stroller + whiny gorgor who wanted to be carried) had to walk 3 km to the tree top bridge, then another 3 km trail, and another 3 km back to the car....that's 9km in total!!!!
What a way to spend my mothers' day...was cursing and swearing along the way...cos there were a lot of steep slopes/steps up +wet mud...and it certainly didnt help with a supper whiny kid tagging along, who kept on saying,
"Y didi can be carried but not me??"
"just how much longer do we hv to walk?"
"I'm not going to school tomorrow cos i need to rest!"
"who can carry me, huh?"
"I'm so tired! I'm only 4 yrs old leh!"
***whine whine whine.....***
Hippo was all wet too, not from perspiring (cos he was carried by papa all the time), but from papa's sweat....
my maid must be thinking: "why other employers go shoping, dining at air con shopping malls while mine go for trekking? Pai miah!"
NOw i'm aching all over...esp my back and thighs...but hey, my cough is getting better..dunno if it's bcos of "fresh air" + exercise yday...

Cool_D
Is Jordan’s party this weekend? Doing the “lok lok” at your house?
Mrs Chia / Jessesmom / Mrs Lai / Min
Me me me…. Is a Canto….both my parents are Canto…so I know the dialect as a kid…training from watching TVB drama serials on videotapes when I was a kiddo.
By the way, I suspect my boy understands Canto but NOT English & Mandarin lei....coz my MIL who is the caregiver speaks this dialect to him...next time go school will have some language catching up to do liaoz.

<font color="0000ff">Re: Brush Teeth</font>
Mummies, can advise how many times a day to brush teeth for baby? Any specific method? eg circular motion or up & down motion?

Traz,
Where's the trek? Haha...well, it's good exercise for her too. I was very grateful to have walked a lot during my pregnancy (although I didn't have anyone to carry!). I think it definitely makes labor easier and faster...if I ever get pregnant again, I hope to walk a lot too.
SpringDance,
don't worry lah, English is easily learnt in school. Dialect is a treasure...I can't speak any! I wish Jesse could learn some dialect but I have nothing to teach him.
I haven't started brushing Jesse's teeth yet. Need to ah?

SpringD,
I find it most convenient to use a cloth and rub M's teeth at this point in time. But M can bite and chew on his toothbrush so as to get used to the idea. He only "brushes" once a day. Cleaning 2 times daily.
Jesse,
I also wished I learnt my own dialect, but then the govt's policy was to speak Mandarin, so my parents didn't teach me dialect. Now we use dialect in front of M to "speak bad" of him so he cannot understand.

brushing: Lele started brushing after he turned 1. We used Pigeon stage 3 toothbrush. I will let him hold the toothbrush and hold his hand to brush. I brush in strokes from top to bottom because was taught this way. But seems the latest way is to brush in circular motion...
The instructions given by pigeon were also to brush in circular motions. I will say "Okay now, let's brush your teeth" and give him the toothbrush to hold. While brushing I will say "brush brush brush..." till done. when done I will say "done!" give him a smile (he'll smile back) and put back the toothbrush.) So far so good... Started using toothpaste on sat. He seemed to love the taste!

Actually I also tot dun nid to brush can wait till baby has more teeth or know how to spit the toothpaste out…but recently have been hearing afew mummies saying that need to start brush to prevent early tooth decay… when I told my MIL about it (coz she the caregiver)…she was like wided-eye and “duh” … “I also never brush your hubby’s teeth when he was a baby/toddler and there’s no tooth decay wat..”.
Anyway, I’ve got a tube of the first teeth toothpaste..so ask my MIL try to finger brush for my boy lor every morning…but hor…looks like the mummies are saying to train the baby to brush on own…think my MIL will faintzzzz…
Cool_D
Oh ya... your cake from E-creative? I read got May mummies their order delayed or never arrive...better call up the gal and get their mobile number...just in case.

Mindy: Last time the gripe water also attracted ants. MIL taught me to wipe the mouth of bottle with damp cloth before capping, then wiping the whole bot with damp cloth
Min,
everything that attracts ants, from gripe water to his meds, I just put in the fridge! haha.
SpringDance,
I've heard that it could happen lah...but I'm too lazy to start. Maybe when he can stand first...heh.
Michelle,
Okay, I'll go take a look at the street directory.
Hmm...it looks far from the carpark! Didn't know Macritchie so big.

Yawn... what a lazie monday...
Anyone with jokes to share?
Anyone with jokes to share?
Kate,
got this off an email
This is the Doctor I want as my primary physician, he answers
questions like this:
Q:I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A:Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't
waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up
your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can
extend thelifeof yourcarby driving it faster. Want to live longer?
Take a nap.
Q:Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A:You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and
corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than
an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need
grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green
leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your
recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q:Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A:No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit.Brandyis distilled wine,
that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even
more of the goodness that way.Beeris also made out of grain.Bottoms up!
Q:!How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A:Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one.
If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q:What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular
exercise program?
A:Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!
Q:Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A:YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!.... Foods are fried these days in vegetable
oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more
vegetables be bad for you?
Q:Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
Aefinitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You
should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q:Is chocolate bad for me?
A:Are you crazy?HELLOCocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best
feel-good food around!
Q:Is swimming good for your figure?
A:If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q:Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A:Hey! 'Round' is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had
aboutfood and diets.
And remember:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
toskid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other -
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming"WAH-HOO, What
a Ride"
AND.....
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on
nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those
conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wineand suffer fewer heart attacks
than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.thank you. LOL

jesse and traz,
the macritchie treetop walk is quite fun. i've been on it twice -- once with a nature fanatic group that walked really really slow cos the guys wanted to see every single thing on the trail (gosh!), and another time with my colleagues who were more normal. seriously can't imagine doing the macritchie route with a big belly and two kids (traz, you are amazing!)
by the way, there's a much much shorter treetop walk at bukit chandu. maybe you gals can consider that if you're into this tree top thingie. the bukit chandu route allows you to u-turn easily unlike the macritchie route. and it's closer to civilization (vivocity/alexandra/pasir panjang coffeeshops) so you can go for a snack when everyone's tired. i went there to walk abt a week before i gave birth and thought that it would be lovely to bring my baby there (haven't gotten round to doing it yet though)

if you have specific questions can ask here cos review still pending...
We stayed at villa-on-the-rocks (302). It was nice. If you're into walking, bring your walking shoes. Even though I have some foot problems, we still enjoyed walking about in slippers...it's just hard to walk the slopes with slippers on. Should've wore track shoes.
Michelle,
haha...sounds like "how much further papa smurf?"
cool_d,
I had a balanced meal too...chicken nuggets (protein and veg)
