ladies, would like to ask if your child walking in tip toes (if using walker). Long ago I heard pple saying disadvantage of walker becos of this reason. However I also grew up with walkers and so do my siblings & nieces, so dun see any problem using a walker. However, i noticed that my gal is walking in tip toes when using walker. Will this problem rectify when she offically learn to walk? It's quite worrying me at this time.

chersam, itz normal for babies to tip-toe cos they are still exploring their own muscle groups and boldy functions.. what you can do to prevent this from being a habit is to guide her foot down patiently everytime she does it.. dun worie!
one excerpt i found:
Walking on Both Tip Toes
The most cause common is idiopathic toe walking (no known cause), also called habitual toe walking. Walking on tiptoes is quite common between 10 and 18 months when children are learning to walk. In some children it simply becomes a habit, when asked to walk normally they put their heel down on the ground before their toes. It's just that when they're not concentrating they seem to revert to walking on their toes.

Chersam,
No leh, I juz find tip toeing comes very naturally. Sometimes I tip toe coz scared feet dirty the floor or vice versa.

hippo: Yes, i do see pple around me walking on both tip toes. They do land on their feet except that more weight exert on the toes. So when they are walking, you will find that they are sort of "light weight" kind, a bit of 'floating" feel... mayb tat's y gingerleaf's nanny describe her as ghost.
Though my gal now havent even start to cruise, when putting her on stand position, 1 of her feet sure in tip toe and I have to keep correcting her.

hi mummies

Sharon, that's unreasonable of your employer. I thought according to MOM guidelines, 4 days of childcare leave are to look after children who fall sick and the other 2 days are no-questions-asked? My school is also like that--my colleague wanted to apply for child care leave to celebrate his kid's birthday and was rejected on the grounds that "we have to be accountable to the parents of our students". Then what about our own kids?? There was also one such case in my mil's school.
So I think Singaporean employers, yes, even the civil service, have a long way to go.

Haizz! really makes me think twice whether should i let my no.2 be taken care by a nanny whom i never know personally in next year. Hard decision for me leh.
CM,

CM,
I think u can ask ur boss for the reason.If there's no urgent work for u to do on that day,he can't possibly reject ur leave.I think u can log complain to MOM if he reject ur leave w/o any gd reason.

chris: i realise cough very hard to fully recover.yz has been nursing a cough for the past 1 mth! this week being the 4th week! its better but not totally fully recovered. he will cough a few times still a day and u can hear the phlegm!
thats why getting him the powder to see if it helps in dissolving the phlegm
PD says must avoid crowds and keep him warm. cos the cold can make them have runny nose = more phlegm and also dry air irritates the throat more..

Chris, must let brig take anti biotics k. i know some mummies do not like to feed their child that, prefering the child to fight it off with their own immune system.
I know this isnt related, but a few years back, one of my cat fell ill with fever, then it escalated into high fever v fast, and next day bring him see doc, he got middle ear infection liao, then I think it was menigitis, and he went deaf coz "brain fried". Almost lost him then, and it was v v bad. Luckily recovered after taking antibiotics for a v long period of time.

i think if baby get secondary infection, pd usually prescribe antibiotics and it's best to take. but for normal viral fever, should let baby fight it and developer immunity. Normal viral infections takes roughly 2 weeks to heal and if more than 2 weeks, still no recover, go and consult pd/doctor again. Aria fell sick a couple of times already and the worse was when she got rosella. the fever really went on off for 2 weeks and we let her fight it off. Only fed her those medicine that is suppose to help her feel better like baby panadol, cough syrup, running nose, etc but not antibiotics..
it's really no good for young babies to take too much antibiotics. if not, the body will be too reliant on it and will not know how to fight it naturally. this is what happen to my niece.. when she was young, her nai nai took care of her and her family doctor always prescribe strong medicine and loves to give antibiotics. everyone think he's good, sickness heal very fast but they don't know the long term effect. my poor niece now always kena high fever and always had to take antibiotics leh.. the latest incident she had to be admitted to hospital and even the pd there told my SIL that he will not prescribe her antibioctics (unless no choice) due to her history of taking too much and body dunno how to fight liao..

aria_jo: so scary.. this is the 2nd time yz is sick. the 1st time is before he is even 1 mth old. fever n sore throat so he was admitted and put on course of antibiotics. think he is too young then n PD didnt want to risk it.
and like wat u said, for this time round, PD said he wont prescribe antibiotics but let him recover from the normal medicine..

yaloh, when she has fever, a lot of times sure escalate to high fever one.. and her cough will drag on for so long and finally have to go back to that family doctor to take antibiotics again... so, now, my SIL slowly try to adjust and "train" her not to take antibiotics..

Babies w/ cough
For that coughing period, maybe can avoid giving fish to babies. Wait till cough gets over. Replacement of fish can be such as tofu (beancurd), etc. Intake of fruits, veg, n water is juz enough. Avoid giving heaty stuff like brown rice.
Advice we got from elders, no harm heeding. Juz some of what we went thru last time round when the boys caught cough virus then.

Oh yah, regarding the maid
Really sad to hear such things.
sometimes I also wonder how would an outsider stand if there is a baby that cries non-stop! Even ourselves would get frustrated when we don't understand what they want sometimes. Unless the person can really tahan the cries and not get frustrated and have very good anger management, if not things would sure turn out the sad way as these people knows that babies can't talk! That's why some people say getting a good maid is like winning a lottery!
Don't know I make sense or not!! still a bit sotong now with the headache!!!

yup, my mum also told me too much fish will induce phlegm though im not sure how true is it but better heed their advice, better play safe than sorry... but my mum also asked me not to give tofu too frequent leh, cant remember whats the reason, think it's the "clay" or "hardening chemical" thingy?... hmm..

dodo,
Yes, thatz about 'Everything in moderation'. We used to give fish almost everyday for about 2 months till the boys caught the cough virus. Then we were 'taught' about the fish causing phlegm prone thingy. We 'improve' n switch to alternate days for fish. As for the beancurd, we dun give often as well.
Anyway, as we do seek TCM advice, we were also taught not to mix too much veg. for a single meal. 2-3 veg/meat a meal is gd enough. Furthermore, they are still young n with their gentle little stomach. Hmmm...
I was silly enough to think that 'the more the merrier'. Hee... The more, the more nourish the meal is. So I am wrong/silly to think that way. =D
