Jang: Bottom shuffling occurs when a baby sits on his bottom, and uses his arms to push himself around. Kinda like when a person sits on a wheelchair, and uses his arms to push the wheels.

Pinkysummer: I'm a psychologist, and I do psychoeducational assessments. Hence, I work a lot with OTs. Many doctors in my family too, and they're also not really aware of this issue. Even my own PD isn't aware, and many books on child development written by PDs say that bottom shuffling is ok...hence, the widespread perception that it is. The weak muscle condition is due to developmental issues with the cerebellum (a part of the brain), but it can be corrected easily enough with therapy. We know that there's a correlation between bottom shuffling and developmental dyspraxia, and this in turn may (not always) lead to problems such as inattention, poor social skills etc in school age children. Children with such problems are often diagnosed as just below borderline ADHD, but may never receive treatment because they're not ADHD. The treatment is really administered by occupational therapy, often with very good results. However, OTs tell me that the window closes by age 12 years. In my practice, I've seen many children with this condition, and many either bottom shuffled or were prevented from crawling by their parents (weird but true).

ythanhn,
I think everyone envying Jete now, I know I do kekekeke.. and soon I'll be envying chatty!!

Chatty,
ya cos u have the pro background, can reason better with PD, for me I'd be more emotional hehehehe..

Woof,
I got extra 2 boxes of medela bottles bought during OG sales, usual kiasu me.. I can sell u at S$25 / box (bought at 27). U want?

I saw jete just signed in!!! I think she's back!!
 
Pink,
mine not lake view one so not that nice lah kekeke.. we thot of getting the one that really lakeview by lakeside mrt, but too noisy due to mrt..
 
woof,
medela only comes with 150 ml, which if I fill full, it's actually 200 ml up to the brim.

yes I use pigeon teats, rings and caps, so I just use the medela's bottles, I keep the ring and seal disc in storage..

here is the pic..

woof,
Ike also drink 200ml, then I make to full brim.. I actually did a test, I filled up water up to 200ml, then pour into the medela bottle hehehe.. when inside got formula powder, must pour slowly.. If ike needs more than 200ml then I make 2 bottles..
 
i'm back. it's almost 3am, i'm awake, hubby is awake, so is paige. that should sum it up!

i'm sick, tired, and jetlagged. paige is sick and jetlagged too. cranky definitely!! will try to catch up more when we are settled in. the cruise was nice, weather a bit rainy. our little piggy got popular on the ship with the staff and grandparents. they come play with her when we are about the ship. "hey paige!" and i'm trying to remember when/where i have met this person heading our way. heehee even the security personnel got to know paige since they have to scan her card whenever we get on and off the ship. and know what paige loves? the breakfast buffet!! what a piggy!!

chatty:
i didn't realize not crawling by 9m is an issue. paige didn't start crawling until the day she turned 9m old and still doesn't crawl very well. hmm... glad you had the knowledge and persistency and got him the help he needed.

BPA bottles:
i was looking for bigger BPA free bottles when we were in the US but non i fancy, so we decided to use the playtex drop ins when we need bigger bottles. paige takes 4-5 oz now so when she needs more than that, we'll just use the drop ins, if not we'll use the medela bottles we've been using. she's not a big eater and have kept to the same oz for a long time, hopefully it'll be the same, esp with more food.

if any one wants to buy the pigeon bottles, i heard you can go to their office and buy it from them directly.
 
Chatty, prevented from crawling by parents!!!! but i thought parents would love to see their little ones crawl.. these parents must have their own reasons.
 
Xman, rouxi cough and flu better now?

Jete, welcome back. I was thinking how come you have not been posting for so long liao then i suddenly remembered... cruise to alaska

Nining - i have no clue. Nowadays he is into screaming. Happy or crying also can suddenly scream....either too happy or too hungry will scream super loud..

Jang - wow, she is really amazing...how old is she? Hers is natural birth i guess but no pain meh.

The weekends pass so fast.

So when is the gathering date for the birthday bash. Think my hubby won't be going. Anyone whose hubby won't be going?

Zhu,
I got my quest already. I actually thinking of whether techno xt or quest. It is said that tehno xt can recline more than quest and suitable from birth (i think), but somehow I let meg try hor, not really recline that much ler.. How can a newborn sleep on it?? For quest, stil cant recline much but at least she could sleep inside
sad.gif
my old lucky baby one can recline till sleeping flatly ler, which is very good, but a big too bulky for me to handle alone.

Somemore techno xt, heavy ler, i think about 8.2 kg or sth. In the end I chose Quest lor..Brought it out with me yesterday (alone with Meg), stil okay lar, not very heavy for me hehehehehe.. easy to fold and unfold.

Seriously I think combi one very nice, lightweight and easily folded, but too narrow for our babies (even Meg fits so nicely in it without any extra space), think for newborn and smaller baby stil okay.
I asked hubby NEXT TIME MY NEWBORN HOW LER?? QUEST, SURE A NO NO FOR NEWBORN.
He told me WE BUY ANOTHER ONE
happy.gif


If you want quest, get it from OG - sale at S$219 (mothercare sale at S$257+), techno og no sale i think, and mothercare sale at S$392+...
 
bliss,
doren still as charming as before..like the pic on the right more (somehow or rather the pic on the right melt my heart)..

cola,
i agree wif u..the lightwt combi stroller is real small for our bb at this stage..newborn still very comfy but this stage, itz pretty small especially if they lie down..
ur hubby so nice har...willing to buy another stroller for ur nex newborn, so to speak, ready for the 2nd one?

Gt this from my friend..

NEW USE FOR VICKS VAPORUB

<font color="0000ff">To stop night-time coughing in a child (or an adult, as we
found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the
bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.
Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five
minutes, and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This
works 100 percent of the time and is more effective in children
than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition,
it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
I heard the head of The Canada Research Council describe these
findings by their scientists when they were investigating
the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in
children as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure.
I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy
talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm
than good due to the chemical make-up of these strong drugs,
so I listened. It was found to be more effective than prescribed
medicines for children at bedtime and in addition to have a
soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on
to sleep soundly.
My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and
persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100 percent! She said
it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped
in a few minutes, and believe me, this was a deep (incredibly
annoying - every few seconds!), uncontrollable cough, and she slept
cough-free for hours every night she used it.
If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed
at the effect.</font>
