Jacelyn & Jess,
Oh wow, I thought I am the only one who is having all such problems. Me too! My son also nowadays very naughty, sometimes doesn't want to be fed much. We also need 2 persons to feed him. 1 to trick him with a big adult eating spoon, the other is to feed him with his baby food. He wants to be fed with a big adult spoon! Aiyo, his mouth so small, why does he want to be fed with a big spoon leh??
Yes, it's very tiring for us when it's my son's bedtime. Now we just 'ren meng' ("recongise fate") If after feeding him milk he doesn't want to sleep, we'll like stay with him in his room. But he will stay in his cot lor.... =(
I bet our darlings must have Energizer batteries in them. They will just keep going, and going, and going, and going......

Actually, my son will stick his hand into his mouth to make himself puke if we don't sit next to him by the cot... =( Even if we lay on the extra bed in the same room also like that. He sticks his hand into his mouth, make those want-to-puke sound (eeeERRRRRHHHH..), we rush to him, he will laugh. *faint* But I must agree, carry our darlings now ultra siong. Back-breaking lor. LOL!
Jess,

wendyg,
What was the temperature like in HK when you were there? You dressed Tobey in fleece...1 layer or 2 layers?
I just bought a fleece sweater from fox kids for like $20...intend to use it for our Sydney trip in May. Is it enough to dress my boy in long sleeve cotton t-shirt/rompers with the fleece jacket? It's going to be about 12 degrees by then?

lynn chong going hk.
yvonne
coldest (daytime) was abt 14deg. very very chilly when the wind blew!!! very strong wind! and i'm not even at seaside or anything. if no wind, still ok, like aircon u know? on the coldest days, tobey wore 3 layers on top - romper, sweater & thicker sweater, all cotton. 1 pair of fleece pants over his diaper. i'll also use my shawl to wrap him up.
he didn't hv runny/ blocked nose, but he started to lao-sai on our last day there (23rd) until today. Fever since Saturday. PD said may be some travel bug... ?!?!
i dowan to go HK liao.. everytime go, someone will fall sick!!!
for your boy, i would add a sweater over the romper, before putting on the fleece jacket. also standby fleece or wolly blankets?
if anyone needs fleece pants sized 12-18m, i can sell to u cheap $6 per pair, excellent condition I hv dark blue, dark green, grey pairs. total 6 pairs i think
also hv THICK cotton sweaters suitable for both boys & girls. Too thick for sgp aircon.

mylife,
err recently after she fall asleep on my bed I just let her continue sleeping on my bed never move to cot cos she will stir once at ard midnight and another time at abt 3-4am and she will want to roll and dunno what again. If she is in the cot she will cry and I will have to go and get her. So this lazy mummy just dump her on the bed so that I can continue sleeping
For the afternoon nap, if I'm at home alone I will catch her for a short catnap at 4ish. But if I'm out or if I'm at my mum's place then she usually skips that nap. Not cos she's not tired but cos too much distractions.
At night, she takes abt half hr to fall asleep, so this is roughly her daily routine. Btw I don't feed lunch I feed her brunch.
7-7.30am Milk 150ml
9.30-10am Brunch (Rice/Macaroni, Veg, Fish)
12pm Milk 150ml / Nap
1.30-2pm Fruits, Snack (bread, biscuit)
4pm Milk 150ml / Nap
6.30-7pm Dinner
8-8.30pm Milk 150ml / ZZzzzzz

Wendyg,
The year before when hubby and I went to Phuket, we felt so guilty for leaving Jerome behind, especially when we saw other families with kids. This year, we brought both to Phuket. Tired like crazy..
Mei,
Let ur hubby try going out with the children. Within an hour, he will ask u to appear immediately or board the next available flight.

Yvonne,
For me, the weather in Sydney in May is just nice. Weather is just nice, around 15C (even in winter never snow in Sydney), day time still have plenty of sun, just add on 1 layer of fleece top would be enough, I think. Night time could be a bit colder, but it's management. I think to go Sydney in near winter time is good, as their summer is way too hooooootttt!!! Imagine the very old-style train with no air-con at >40C, gosh! Rain? No need to worry much. It won't rain like cats and dogs like here. Even if it rains, only drizziing and that's it.
Public transport generally IS expensive. Get the special ticket for travelling, like 3 days unlimited rides for train/bus/ferry, very good value for money. For a good harbour view, don't join the ferry tour, it's pretty much a waste of money. If you get the unlimited travel pass, just get on one of the ferries and you will have pretty nice view (similar to those if you pay for a special tour). Or if plan to go the Zoo, you have to take the ferry and the journey will give you a good view of the harbour bridge. Taxi is also VERY expensive.
Food wise, many different varieties and pretty easy to find food, Thai and Japanese (takeaway sushi particularly) food being the most popular, prepare to pay about AUD$10 per person. for a simple lunch, sit-in dinner, expect to pay AUD$30 per person. There are restaurants around harbour bridge on a high building give you fantastic view, but those will burn a hole in your pocket.
Too much to talk about........maybe you tell me what you want to know in particular?

Kam,
Thanks for the info! We hate summers so always plan our holidays during spring or autumn...winter is too cold for some countries. We always go free & easy so usually do alot of research on our own but this time is a little different cos of my boy so we gotta plan around him instead.
Good to know May is a good time. I know transport is ex but we might still take taxi to/from airport since we have so much luggage plus stroller somemore. And we're definitely going to Taronga Zoo.
Are the pavements in Sydney stroller-friendly? We intend to walk to most places since we'll be staying around world square which is in the middle. Considered walkable to Darling Habour as well as The Rocks/Circular Quay area?? Are the restaurants baby-friendly and do most of them provide high chair?? Sorry to ask so many questions but the travel guidebooks don't normally provide info for children needs.

U got any bedtime routine for Lexie or not? Or around 8pm, u jus bring her into room and let her roll on ur bed? Do u switch off all the lights? And do u lie down with her or u situp while she lie down? So nice now u don't need to carry n rock her to zzz liao.
Wendy
I hv the same situation as u. Would really love to go holidays with hubby alone but Rylee is still nurse to zzz and I can't bear to let her cry. Ask u ah, last time did u also nurse Issac to sleep too? Until when? And how's the transition ie how did he learn to zzz on his own. When did u wean him? Sorry for the many questions...

baby reaching 1st birthday make me reminisce every moment with her since birth. Feels a tug at my heart watching the videos and photos of her when she was so small and tiny. Don't we all?we must give ourselves a pat on our back for all the sleepless nights, sore nipples, engorged breasts, every tiny little bit of worries we have had for our little princes n princesses. Kudos to all of us esp those 2nd time mommies (not easy handling a toddler AND a newborn!)
Mylvera,
Sure, can open to anyone who is willing to leave your kids with me
Steph,
Nice one! Zander didn't change much leh, still as chubby and handsome. Almost every photo, he is smiling, what a cheerful baby!
Yvonne,
I don't think the pavement is particular stroller friendly, it generally has a pretty good size walkway along most streets, but usually full of people. Yes, those proper dine-in restaurants are baby friendly, service is generally very good as you pay quite a handsome service fee for it, no compulsory tipping as in the US. The Rocks/Darling Harbour is pretty nice. And yes, most of the places of interest are within walking distance.
Agree, baby+stroller on the train is pretty difficult. But you can take those airport shuttle to bring you from airport to the doorstep of your hotel, a lot more cheaper than the taxi, and they have plenty of space to put your luaguages, of course if $$ not a problem, taxi is the easiest.
Tell me after your trip if you like Sydney?

Your last question makes me think if my answer is going to be negative??? I know Sydney is a fast-paced big city so will not be so laid-back but gotta go to big cities since 1st time travelling with baby, easier to find the necessities. Melbourne was rather nice, especially great ocean road...but been there before so thought to going to Sydney instead.
