My girl, though abit slow, can finally walk on her own now. However, yesterday fell down twice, one on her knee and the other on her face. This morning two blue-black...of course she cried more when fell on her face...hope the blue-black will go away soon, otherwise, not pretty already for a girl...'sign'

Oh, you mean Cher still refuses the bottle till now? Woah, she's quite determined huh? Hehe! Mine at first rejected, but took NUK teats well. However now, he can take whatever teat I give, phew!

Oh tat's what I do too! In fact I surf the net each time he slept, hehe. Being the net addict that I am

Wow, congrats to your little gal! you mean blue-black on her face? Oh dear...next time (if u haven't already), massage quickly then put some ice pack there. Blue black on forehead also pretty normal lah - should go away within 2 days

#2 birth is no doubt faster and more painful (coz I didn't have epidural for both births..not by choice but as I was almost fully dialated so no pt having epi). Not to mention the super sore back...it's worse this time round.
I remembered telling everyone that #2 is my last. Don't want to be a rolly polly clumsy COW again. And during #2 labour, I told myself that this is my last time going thru such pain...never again. But I think the euphoria of having ur newborn in your arms somehow have an erasing effect on mommies' brains.
Now that #2 is 1 yr...I'm less resistant abt having #3. So jeanyard...don't speak too soon...you'll never know.
About disciplining your toddlers...I've tried the cane, smacking hands and butts...but they don't really work. So I did what the childcare do...they use the "silent" chair. It's like a "naughty" corner. If the kid is naughty, they'll be belted onto the chair and forbidded from participating in their fav games etc until they agree to behave.
I created a "silent" room at home...if my #1 misbehaves, I'll put her in that room. I'll talk to her and explain why she's placed there...that what she did was wrong or dangerous....and make her apologies or not to repeat the act again.
Of course kids will be kids...they're bound to forget and do it again. So you need to be consistent. As for #2, "ignorance is bliss"...just ignore his throwing act. No reaction from us (he enjoys seeing us pick up stuff out of frustration), he'll grow bored and move on to something else.

gosh yr kiddos are so cute! Such round eyes yr girl has
Sanrio
Cher, nevermind, no hair but look at her cutie cheeks! Full TBF and so chubby
Aww, you're an experienced mummy, am sure you'll find a way soon. But cher sleeps thru the night right? My adam still wakes up to comfort-latch! And recently, hungry too - if my BM is too little, I'll give him formula and he finishes about 180 ml in the middle of the night.
Has any baby gone for MMR - 15 mths yet?

mommypoh,
nice pix!!
yes 'silent chair' is also known as time-out. That's what i'm slowly implementing with Josh. When he can talk and communicate better with language, i will apply choice theory to teach him. I learned this when i was teaching delinquents many years ago and it's really effective and will teach kids to have personal responsibility and self control.
My friend uses this method to discipline her twin sons as well. They are very well-behaved.
sanrio,
the kids are so cute. Esp Cher and her big eyes!! makes me inspired. I want to have a girl!!
sgn,
you wean KY off BM liao?
janet,
congrats on your girl walking! now everyone will be very busy. she's not slow lah...my Josh just only started to use the dining chair to walk!

Hi Mummies,
I read somewhere in the Dec07 postings about the baby boys pulling their penis. Sounds like it's normal and they're just curious and playing with the extra flesh. But my boy who is now 13 months old is still doing it (since 8 months old I think) and he pulls really hard whenever I change is diaper. It makes me wonder whether he feels itchy at that area or what. I'm so clueless how to make him feel more comfortable.

Janet & Mum@Work & everyone else,
Hello! I'm naqia!
addie
My kiddo looks at his penis in a curious way too for a moment (about 11 - 12 mths +) and he'd pull it too when I'm bathing him. But I'll take his hands away. Now he doesn't pull anymore - he prefers to explore stuff in the bath - eg, rubber toys, shampoo etc.
Do you wash his penis area with water? Might want to consider that coz maybe using wet wipes might not be clean enough so he feels rather uncomfy? Just a suggestion...other mums might have more.
Mum@work
I try to put baby in his cot/playpen but at night I latch him on, so he ends up on our bed! Haizz... but as much as possible I try to put him in playpen so I have a bit more space. How about yrs?

mum@work,
my bb sleeps on mattress.
I saw on Monday My Paper, Carrefour is having discount for toddler mattress. IT looks just like a mattress, except that it has a higher border that prevent bb from rolling out of the mattress. I thought it is quite good, because now bb always toss and turn, and I use pillows to block her from rolling off the mattress.
If you have not bought any, maybe you can consider that.

Hi Smalldreams,
Yes, did wash his penis area with water and soap whenever he poos. But not with every diaper change if diaper is only heavy with pee. Do you wash your kiddo with water at every diaper change? And my MIL applies powder at that area too, but I asked her to stop for the time being in case he is allergic to powder.

tat sounds like a cool mattress! But too bad, no space for that. My room is super cramped liao.
Addie
I do that too - mostly wash his butt when he poos, penis area, mostly water only. I don't wash my kiddo at every diaper change. Basically as follows :
1. Wake up in the mornings - bathe / wash with area whether or not he poos
2. If I'm the one taking care, I'll change his diaper noon time (w/o water). if it's my mom, she just change diaper during bath time in evening
3. Evening - around 6 pm, wash/bathe with water.
That's it. Perhaps can stop powder for the moment. Unless you use a talc-free one like the one from CB. I've not put powder on my baby's pte parts since he was a newborn too. HTHs

I'll only move him to big boy bed if and when i have #2 lor.

mum@work,
we stay with him until he falls asleep. initially it is a bit difficult. he'll wake up a lot to look for us. aft a while he'll get used to it. must take time and alot of patience to train. actually the reason we put him in his own room is to improve his sleep cos when he was in our room, he'll wake up a lot just because daddy or mummy come in or go out or due to any small movements...
baby mobile? you mean monitor? yes i put monitor..but Josh can cry louder than that =P

mum@work,
did your fren lower the cot/mattress all the way to the lowest level? The moment Josh could stand I did that. On top of that Josh is a tall boy, now already >80cm (as tall as my neighbour's 3yo gal!), so i have to make sure that he can't get out at all. Try not to put anything in the cot that they can step on to climb out, or anything next to the cot (outside) that they can step on. Josh's cot only got 1 teddy bear, 1 blankie, 1 small giraffe. All these things are too soft to support his weight.

Your girl's eyes are so big and round....like doll. Don't worry abt her hair...my gal had very little hair till recently too. As shown in picture...it'll grow..eventually. Picture taken when she was abt 1 yr old.
lovedogs
she's turning 3 this Dec..I didn't agree to cutting her hair either...love to tie little pony tails for her.
But when she started cc...had no choice but to trim it to a more manageable length else very messy.
I still sleep with my 2 kids as we didn't want #1 to feel that she's being abandoned once #2 arrived....now they sleep in between me and hubby on our bed. yup...4 sardine fishes...been like that since #2 turned 2 mths old. Initially we tot #1 might be wake up from all the crying etc so we splitted up to dif rooms during my confinement but surprising when we tried putting them together in the same rm, she slept like a log.
It's really cute seeing them sleep together...they're each another's pillow and bolster. Once in a while, there might be cries of discomfort but they'll shift and adjust themselves accordingly.
One thing to note, I only started placing them side by side when #2 was abt 10 mths old (he's strong enough to unlodge himself if #1 "body slam" on him in her sleep)
nellu
yup...I think supernanny also use this naughty corner/chair discipline method...works better than physical punishment but it'll only last for a while coz their intelligence will catch up and understand that it's no big deal...then we'll have to think of alternatives.
