ankh,
he is shuffling between the nuby sippy cup, and a thomas the train sippy cup with silicon spout. I find the nuk one the easiest the maintain. Plus its silicon so if want, can still sterilize or boil in hot water.
lynzi,
yup, good idea to start half day and slowly extend once faiq has adjusted. I am only planning to let him take up the extended programme which is until 3pm when he is in pre-nursery. Until then, will let him continue on half day if possible. I feel heartpain to leave him there for the whole day..

lynzi, erm... i sent susu to infant care when she was about 3 months leh. that time still blur blur la... hiak hiak hiak. now she has no withdrawal tantrums cos she's so familiar with her teachers. BUT i shudder to think when i need to change her school.
btw, i went to learning vision at grassroots club in yio chu kang on sat. the place is nice and cozy but they have one weird requirement - that ALL kids be weaned from their own milk powder and take nespray!!! i was bewildered!!!
dylan's mom, ya lor... at 3am the last thing you'll want to do is to fight with your baby. but i think when i go on childcare leave this jul, i'll insist that she falls back asleep in her cot when she wakes up. it'll be an uphill task but i'll try...

maybe so that all the mummies can contribute 1 tin of nespray every mth and cannot complain which kid accidentally consumes another's milk powder etc.
i know some student care does this with shampoos and soaps, all get same brand at the beginning of the mth. First time i heard abt milk powder though

Wow thread is moving really fast. For those with cough, think is better to dilute the milk for your little one until cough recovers.
The recommendation from Lynzi on the chuan bei with pear is good. Do add nanxin beixin when brewing. Smells and taste good..
Tub, That is strange, are they sponsored by Nespray? Is it for free inclusive as part of their meals?

steffi and starz, yeah... either they want to make it more convenient or the centre gets a cut from nestle (which we highly suspect). but it's so strange cos i can't even manage what my baby eats or drinks and we're paying a premium at LV. at first they din even want us to bring fruits but i told them susu takes at least 2 whole apples a day at childcare. i'm ok with not bringing if they are able to provide that. then the person relented and said fruits ok... can bring ourselves. then what if i dun want her to take nespray??? aiya... so weird. now having 2nd tots about LV at grassroots lor.
sigh... still like pat's school house leh. hiak hiak hiak.
lynzi, i want to take a break la. maybe go study or just stay at home. been so long in teaching. will be good to spend some time with su cos she's getting older and learning more new stuff everyday.

thanks all... he's still coughing. last nite was a nightmare. he woke up means i'd wake up too.. totally not enuff sleep. we both got paNDA eyes. he wakes up every 3-4hrly coz the ventolin wears off and he coughs again... fever came in the midd of the night at 38++... damn sian.
mimole, nope the inhaler is not permenant. it's like the oral ventolin excepts this works faster than oral ventolin. it's like spray and the kid inhales it thru a small chamber. he's one who coughs often. that's why i resort to purchasing the inhaler from the dr. so when he starts to cough badly at night, i could use it 1st to curb it

tub, lv has some kind of affliation with nestle. That's why you have nespray and honey stars. However it's weird. you should be able to bring your own milk powder and fruits & packed snacks (like yoghurt for teatime). they don't encourage parents to bring food to the CC because it's supposed to be a halal centre.
lynzi,
yah dylan loves the thomas cup also. carries it wherever he goes but thankfully for me, he also drinks from it subconsiously. he can finish half a cup or more within a few hours cos he keeps drinking from it. haha. If its the nuby one, he will not want to drink! frankly, the nuby one is easy to maintain
. Even less parts to worry about than the thomas one.
tub,
that childcare is so weird. i prefer any cc to be neutral and not be 'sponsored' or affliated with any brands. hope you find a cc that you are happy with and able to get a space!
its very headache to secure a space at the more popular ccs.
jeelo,
its a good idea to buy the inhaler. at least you can use it when he coughs to see if he gets better before bringing to doctor. my friends who own the nebulizer also advise that can do neb treatment when yr kid starts coughing... they can get better lor. then no need to see doctor already.

jeelo, aiyo poor boy. hope he gets well soon. when susu had phlegm and cough, i weaned her off fm for a while and gave rice/hazelnut/soy milk. those packet kind from rice dream etc. she recovers pretty quickly leh. not sure if it's due tat but like wat i told hen, can try la...
aiyo...LV is affiliated to nestle??????? if i decide to place her there, must negotiate and make arrangements with them then. but it's really ironic that i'm paying and i have to beg them so i can bring my own food!!! faint... ._.

Tub,
That's weird. They didn't tell me that leh. In fact, the LV @ RP told me to bring at least 2 milk feeds' worth of milk powder everyday. They is only 1 milk feed (before nap time). But bring 2 feeds' worth, in case accidents happen and the kids (or them) spill the milk.
But thanks for highlighting the bit on the Nespray. I shall just call and ask too. Have to take steps to ease the transition to cc for Louisa...
Lynzi,
For toiletries, I was told that bring own toiletries. Coz some kids have eczema etc, so they say better bring ur own that is suitable for ur kid.
My gal haven't start at LV yet lah. She's only 17mths...I'm starting her at the toddler class. So have to wait till mid-June (which is soon...).
How to prepare for cc? sticker labels...wat else ah?

tub,
just had a thought. did you try checking if su can join pat's now under infant care? that's what happened to me... i enquired for N1 but they said no vacancy. But when I ask whether he can join now as infant care, they said can... and on top of that, he will be secured of a place at N1. that's why there is always little to no vacancy for N1, because its reserved for those that are in infant and toddler care. So in the end, my hubby agreed to start dylan earlier, so he has a place lor.

LV dun provide bedding, wet wipes and toileteries. They have a cubby for you to store clothes, hanky and towels. Bring your own pillow (if need to) and bedsheet. They do wash bottles and cups for u after use. I give them a tub of milk powder and when they run out, they'll get me to replenish. If your kid is on vegetarian diet or allergic to something, let them know. They typically serve white meat diet for lunch. Snack is 1-2hr lunch (they give fruits then) but if your kid is sick or whatever, you can tell them to skip. They'd sub with rice cereal or something else. This is for Infant la. now that he's transitioning to PG, i oso dunno their schedule.
argghh...got to get my sis to help me post messages. hahaha.
I called up LV. Yes, they do give Nespray for their meals. But for milk feeds before nap, we bring our own brand. Toddler class / PG, bring the milk feed daily. They dun encourage parents to leave the entire tin there coz toddlers don't drink as often as infants, so just bring one or 2 feeds daily.
Basically, LV @ RP timetable is like that:- (i think roughly similar to all LVs bah...)
830am - breakfast (provided by centre)
11am-1130am - lunch (provided by centre)
12noon - shower
1230pm-1pm - milk feed (bring own)
1pm-3pm - nap time
3pm-330pm - afternoon tea (provided by centre)
530pm - light snack (provided by centre)
in between is all those activities lah.
dylan's mom,
yeah...clothes. hmmm...but LV must get uniforms. so hehs, not so bad lah. kekeke...uniform not dry, then wear home clothes lorh. hahaha. and vice versa. hehs...

<font color="aa00aa">csi,

tub,
hopefully u find one to your liking soon.
btw forgot to tell u that the other day i went lsh and they said i can bring my own food daily from home since i'm a muslim and the place serves halal food.
deerdeer,

lynzi, i realised that if i tell them su is a vegetarian, they'll let us bring our own food.
i also went to this childcare at sembawang called shooting stars. it's started by 2 teachers who were formally from MMI. anyone knows anything about them? seems quite good but no brandname.

2 amazing things happened today, first, dylan slept thru the night from 930am to 7am this morning! Whoo hoo!! Then when we sent him to cc this morning, he didn't cry or shed a tear, just happily joined the class and didn't even look back at us when we left! I guess my little boy is growing up!!

I haven't got my "mummy" yet! But jr's vocab is certainly increasing. V funny to hear him talk. He's auto call pa pa whenever he wanna ask for food from anyone. Thks to my hb lah! grrrr...
Jr's latest sentence and greatest num of words in 1 phrase.. Bear bear mei you le! or bear bear bear bear mei you le!
He purposely repeat bear bear many times. haha

haha ryan is so cute. I wish my dylan will only look for his dada when he wakes up for milk!
bluelily,
jr is so funny...he has a bear bear that he likes? Dylan can say a few words but he just loves "there" so sometimes he refuse to even say "ball", "milk" etc, he just point and say "there!". Headache ah!!

dylan's_mom, ya jr have 1 bear bear at each place, my home, my mum's home and in the car. He like to knock his head into the bear bear.. supposed to be a sign of affection. hehe. It's ok lah.. jr also KAI for many mths before saying more words. Cos they realise that 1 word is enough to get what they want!
bluelily,
hehe jr is cute. you are right, they know that 1 word is good enough to communicate so like to stick to that. Plus, he is most confident of his favourite word, so always shout very loud. If its milk, ball, car or anything else, he will speak softly! Toink!!
slimz,
yah, our litle ones are not babies anymore. Growing up sooo fast!

susu seems a bit too looong when i cuddle her now. her arms and legs seem to be dangling out when i carry her. miss those days when she could fit into my arms nicely. heehee
her vocab has also increased quite a bit recently and she could point to her 5 senses when asked to. including hair. but she can't differentiate between verb and noun. she calls the part time cleaner yiiiiii and she will say yiiiii everytime i clean or mob the floor.
