re: busy buddies
that time when i attended the trial, there were only 3 babies, so it was a little boring.. hehe.. but overall the program is not too bad.. the place was nicely done up. when i was at the trial, one of the mummies recommended Rhythm in Me, also under GraceKids, have yet to try it though.

chomecc,
my maid can take non-halal food as long as pork is not added on the food she's eating. she also ordered from chinese stalls when outside.
thanks for including my frd.
zhuzhu,
grossss... cant imagine wat she did to the undies if realy stolen by her.
pooh,
ya, keep trying till he holds. chloe also refused to hold her bottle, i tried everyday for quite some time and now she 'automatic' hold the bottle le. when eating things like chwee kway, toast, eggs, she'll feed herself using fork.
sigh... but she's still lazy or timid to try walking. only cruising nia.
an_gal,
for her body and hair, i usually used more exp like GAIA, sebamed, california but am thinking of switching to cheaper ones like J&J but duno will it be too harsh on her skin.

i have been using J&J tip to toe (think that was the name) since his birth leh. prefer this to any other brands coz still think J&J soap smells good for bbs. no prob leh. i only use the CB creams which is more ex for him to ensure his skin is not dry. think shd be no prob if bb no serious enzema bah? =)

oh ya.. ytday someone was talking about stupid mistakes made by maids, right?
mine is a funny one - she shifted the ancestor's urn and tablet to one side when she was cleaning the altar which we never tell her to do so. my mum almost fainted and burst out laughing when she came out from the toilet.
another from a friend - her maid put ice cream in the storeroom.
Hahaa... boring day so think of boring things to post. Am thinking of where to bring chloe to after her nap, running out of ideas.

sometime i pour the gerbers biscuit into a bowl and let him self feed then he will stuff all(eg 10) the gerbers biscuit into his mouth
they know nothing abt choking, mouth too full....so much be watchful...
i think self feeding can be quite fun but must really be prepared of the mess that they create
now must take some tips from ytanhn since she has sucessfully let chloe self feed

choco,
toast - just dip in beaten egg and pan fried with olive oil.
egg - omelette or scramble eggs.
I just cut into bite size before serving and help her poke the food with her fork. she will feed herself and passed me back the fork when she's done.
i'm using combi fork with soft edges, that's why i dare to let her try with fork.
miaon,
my gal is lazy, didn't even want to self feed with biscuits until recently cos this mummy here keep trying and trying and trying...
i've let her try most of the food except nuts. once i even let her eat my fried rice with curry gravy, she asked for more. of cos, everything in moderation and her own food is priority.

choco,
it's only recently that she started self-feeding and with certain food using fork only, so cant say too much about tips. i'm still helping her to poke and the bowl is away from her.
the next step - self feed porridge/rice with spoon. this is a challenge. can't imagine the mess then.
oh ya.. with alot alot alot of praising and encouragement. i always find it funny to look at her 'ya ya' look when she's being praised and she will do it even more.

hello twinkle2, seldom see u...must be a handful trying to mind the twins. hee, both similar expression, and really can tell their size apart.
chomecc: u shld see my blog, the mee sua pix i posted is also the 'dry' type. hee hee!
ytanhn: so funny and silly, ice cream in storeroom, haahaaa! Maid hor, you can say they're smart but they also will do silly things once in awhile lor. My hubby asked my maid to boil some chick peas and drained the water away after that. At the same time, he asked my maid to boil some red bean soup. My maid ended up draining the water for the red bean soup as well! LOL! This one was instruction not cleared, so we didn't chide the maid but so farnie lor.

Hi gals, didn't hv time to post here past few days.
Regarding sterilising bottles, I've asked Mrs Wong during my antenatal class at TMC, and she replied we can stop around 11 mths, but can continue to sterilise the bottles as they are deep. So i'm still doing that for bottles only. I use normal detergent for bowls, spoons and cups.
Seems like the maid issues are really a headache. Just rem to follow your maternal instincts to protect your little ones and don't take risks.
I'll be bring RY for his prevnar jab next wk, and doing his MMR at 15mths.
As for self-feeding, RY only knows how to feed himself Gerber puffs or small-sized food. I just started letting him explore the last spoonfuls of his porridge. the messy part!! teaching him to hold the spoon, to scoop and bring to his mouth. It takes lots of patience just like for any other training - potty, holding bottle etc.. frankly, i'm not consistent myself on the training, so not all the time succesful
. Guess the trick is always to be firm and consistent.
Btw, for those who've signed up for TMC Junior Angels Club, this mths promotion includes free entrance to the Toys Museum. I've not been there myself, so not sure if it's worth bringing toddlers there.
Oh btw, may I know who are SAHMs here? Sorry to make you repeat again cos there are too many threads to read thru. And anyone placed your kids in Childcare, or intend to do so? Any recommendations for West area?

It is good to let ur baby wear swimming diapers in case bb poo inside the pool. Just as we like the pool to be clean for our babes, others will look forward to a clean pool too.
