Grumpus, just read your post more carefully. I will BF baby if she is hungry, plus car got privacy and air con. Ask me to seat the baby in the car seat while she is bawling her heart out for milk, I don't hve the heart lor. But I'll ask hubby to drive more slowly and carefully when I'm BF baby cos 2 lives are at risk. Then when finish BF then transfer baby back to the car seat. You mean you have never BF your baby in the car before?

My dear son ate white rice everyday. NO ingredients. sometimes a little soup, tats all. Cos I din bring my blender lah, and he dunno how to chew veg. The fish sometimes fried. So most of the time he ate plain rice and cereal. Hee...
Nat's weight abt the same, she and Elliot opposite, one tan one fair, one tough one tofu. Sigh...

kitsune,
nope, i'm one of those that lets her bawl her heart out lor...but actually after the 1st few months my girl had a fairly predictable routine already so we just scheduled our outings in between feeds lor...make sure we get to our destination before her milk time or leave just after feeding her...
actually cos i'm a SAHM and i move around alot alone with bb...so no choice, i'm driving have to just let her cry

Mom2nat, I see, my hubby actually suggested bringing our gal for a cruise before but I was worried about what is she going to eat on the cruise. The cabin so small and I think no fridge so difficult to cook for her. But even Elliot did well on plain white rice so maybe I worried too much.
Grumpus, I see, ya when you are driving and alone, cannot BF her, can understand. RaeAnne is not an easy baby to look after, not predictable, even now. Last time, she woke up crying and screaming so many times that both me and hubby are zombies. I don't know if it's because she is teething or because she is hungry.

Mom2nat,
I thought can request them to cook porridge on the star cruise le..
I remembered reading it in the forum. That's why always felt that cruise is a good idea. Onboard cruise, no need to worry so much. did u bring your helper along? This round, I have a whole entourage of 7..haha..will tell u how I manage when I get back next week.
Would love to join u but my schedule very luan..carpenter coming in to fix up the living room.
Pauline,
I stayed up late to touch up the paper. like to finish my work before I go for my holiday.
Brough #1 on a cruise two years ago, he was about 4. fussy eater..Everything ate so little, finally he was so hungry..asked my hubby to buy wantan mee for him and finished the whole plate..Sometimes no need to worry so much.

blackbatz, I see, my hubby also, got so many testimonials to finish cos he's teaching Year 2s this year.
I see, 4 years quite ok liao cos can eat outside food. Mine only 16months plus so I'm still restricting her diet to occasional low seasoning outside food or home cooked food. I like crystal jade cos they have plain sweet potato porridge so I can let her eat as much as she want. Star cruise got plain porridge I think but the dishes that go with the porridge will be too salty for her.

kitsune,
haha my girl also not easy and not predictable...especially when it comes to food..
i've been a zombie the last 2 days too cos my girl's been crying every hr....
re: outside food
what i used to do last time is rinse the food in a bit a hot water to wash off as much of the salt and seasoning as possible before feeding her.

kitsune,
personal thoughts abt installing car seat at the front seat. If accident happened, airbag with carseat in front can be fatal, so it would have defeat the purpose of the carseat.
Actually hor, i think better dun get the habit of BF baby in the car.. first of all, they wont get used to car seats, and soon prefer to be carried in car. i know of friend of mine, who always end up bf in the car, becos baby somehow likes it.

Grumpus, I do that sometimes. Today, I ask for hot water to heat up the cold tuna and cold prawn in our tuna and prawn salad. hee.
Icy, ya, some mummies make do by shifting the front passenger seat as far back as possible but who knows exactly how far is safe. No one actually tried and tested the safe distance in a real accident after all.
I like to BF in the car also because once we reach our destinaton usually home, I can put her straight to bed. It's faster for us to rest too. So far, RaeAnne is ok, maybe because she knows if I'm not BF her, she goes into the car seat. Agree that using car seat must be consistent, I know my cousin's kid hates the car seat cos she admits that with so many people to carry the baby, her mum in law, her maid or herself (if her hubby is driving), they end up not putting the boy into the car seat. I went through a period when we had to stick to 5-10 mins drive cos she hates her Maxi cosi front facing car seat. In hindsight, we probably upgraded her too early (less than 9kg then), she was too young to be curious about her surroundings or what's outside the car so she doesn't like her forward facing car seat. Now, I can leave her at the back and sit in front with hubby and she can amuse herself, play then throw her toys to the floor one by one.

I din ask them cook porridge lah, cos in case later my son dun eat, waste pple's effort. Anyway he survived 3 days on white rice, so ok lah. Hoho... mean mommy!!!
NO fridge is a prob lah, cos I ask the crew to get my girl's medicine 2 times a day, so troublesome! The room is small lor, considering it is balcony class some more.
blackbatz

Mom2nt, blackbatz is the one who said you can request for porridge, not me. Ya, I stayed at Balcony class, agree it's very small too, only good thing is the $100 F&B credit.

morning all.
Mylvera: You are not alone. I suddenly CAN'T stand the butter or fish smell for 2 weeks ago. My hubby cooked salmon fish and he put a bit of butter, I had to run far from him! Suddenly he came near me and I smelled the fishy smell I shouted so loud and made him SHOCKED! Thanks God I feel better now but still no appetite. If your friends gave you face can always call them and explain the situation. I am sure they will understand.
Pauline: Canon Ixus is really good huh? We bought it few weeks ago and even my hubby agreed that the quality of pix and video are good.
Pixel: sorry to hear abt the car accident & glad to know everything is alright.

Hi Mummies,
I'm reporting from China now.
My dad passed away here from a heart attack on Friday night. My entire family flew in on Sat and the cremation took place yesterday. We are waiting for the documentation to be done today and will fly home with my father's ashes tomorrow.
We were really shocked by his sudden passing but were consoled by the fact that it was quick and he didn't suffer any pain. He left while singing KTV with his friends and in his hometown in China. We believe this is his way of "forcing" us to visit his hometown and relatives here as we never liked to visit china.
We are still trying to accept the fact but we feel much better after the cremation as it feels like he is still around and has gone travelling. It seems like he has everything planned becos even relatives from abroad was visiting at the same time and my grandma is just a short ride away.
Anyway, sorry to share this news on a monday morning. Just wanted to let it out.

so how was the verdict of the camera? issit good? is that the one in few colours? my fren bought the exact model of mine, 2nd hand, for $280, with a 2gb&32mb card, tripod, case, blah blah from a fella. good deal. i think she loves my camera so she sourced for one. another converted lover! welcome to the ixus club!
remember to set the preview to "off" so that you can snap pics of raeanne very fast. click, click, click. no need to wait for preview in order to snap the 2nd, 3rd picture again. set iso to high, pictures wont be so blurry. then can view the pictures, slowly delete them when you have time.
macro function on ixus is normal, but you can try playing with it - like i do, snap parts of xandall's body when he is asleep hurhur

aqua, my gal is in that childcare nw. her class teachers r very gentle n patient to her. she is the youngest in the class at 17mth old. i put her in early cos want her to settle down before #2 arrives in oct. u putting ur child there also? hopefully our kids can be classmates but i might be pulling her out if we shift to somewhere further east like simei as we are looking for bigger house to accomodate my ILs after my baby arrives.
kellie, i am staying at east coast rd. but the childcare outside my house (2 min walk) is charging 1400 per mth. my hb not willing to pay that amt esp since we have a maid at home n #2 is coming.
