joeey, so the doc din give your nephew medication ? so different from local doc but i like their practice! too much medication = toxic.
esther: i saw organic shop selling it, and i got mine from lapis lazuli. have been feeding him since many months ago. put 1 drop enuff because it's concentrated and got taste one. when i first drink it's quite yucky. maybe i put too many drops that time. as for good chinese doc, i also duno where got good one lei. my dad will nag if i bring shaun to see chinese doc cuz he said bb too small for chinese herbs. erm.. duno lei. i tot drugs also chemical, and chinese herbs more natural, right?

Hi, qingling/tongtong/apple/esther
Thanks.
We hold E's hands to teach her feed Toy Dog & Doll a few times around her 10+ month; then let her pactice feed Toy Dog(empty spoon) while feeding her porridge---kinda of making our feeding easier.
During CNY we saw her hand coordination feeding dog seems ok; then let her self feed a small portion of porridge; We only let her self feed on weekends when MIL is not around to avoid any nagging.
Hi, Tonngtong,
Yah, she still mess up whole chair/face/clothes while eating porridge. For fruits/pasta she seems doing better.

Hi mummies
I've been silently following the thread. Long time never post liao. A month back a colleague kenna warning for surfing in the offce..so I stay low
Now with retrenchments and less headcounts, management is expecting us to be very busy.
Egg: Gave my boy a taste of his birthday cake on his bday..will say that was the first eff experience. After that we started him on stemed egg and Kueh Bulus which contains eggs. He loves his egss!
James can also feed himself. Cannot walk yet. I think his fine motor skills are quite well developed but gross motor skills are slower.

sweetpea, tubao,
your babies are good, can feed themselves.
hi mummies, i have a concern. during feeding, i sit opposite my son and hold the spoon on my right hand. then he'll use his left hand to hold the spoon. wonder if he'll become a left hander...
esther,
i let my son hold the spoon but my hubby doesn't cos he said it'll make a mess out of the whole place. hiaz ...
My son also doesn't dare to walk, prefers to crawl on the floor.

sweetpea.. wah.. not bad.. another smart baby can self feed!
Joeey.. if u are worried, y not try holding his right hand to self-feed? actually u cant sort of test whether he is left or right handed by passing him a pen to scribble on the papers.
I am not sure whether this will confirm or not but my ger uses right hand to hold pen/pencil and scribbles and when i pass her spoon or anything she will always take w her right hand so i assume she is right hander.
Re: vitamins E/multi vit and fish oil/calcium
Hey mummies.. anyone of u taking any of all these or bouht for ur parents. I am thinking of buying for myself and my parents but not sure what brands i should choose.. any advice?

James can't really balance himself on his 2 feet. Cannot stand w'o support also and sometimes tiptoes when he stands with support. I attribute this to the walker. I seriously was against the walker but I gave in to my in-laws coz they bot him a walker w/o my permission. Do you think walkers impedes balance and walking development?
Hi, nagsterak,
Guess that my gal will eat biscuit in mess too due to lack of practice; we didn't give her biscuits though MIL feeds her a lot of biscuits on weekdays' daytime.
Hi, Genice
Not everything E wants to learn/join. Last Sunday we brought her to zoo, she didn't dare to play in water play. We just let(and will let) her stand and watch, let her choose whether to play or to leave.

For egg eating,
My gal eats egg(hard boiled egg or steamed egg or hard boiled an1 chun2 egg--don't know English word) almost every morning.
Last time MIL opposed feeding her egg, quoting her four children grow up fine without eating egg. We just follow what MIL decided on the subject "food".
Then around 11 month she was suggested/adviced by other caregivers at playground to feed her hard boiled egg. She came home and complained/consulted to us why those grandmas especially from China ones feed their grandchildren eggs. Then we said "try noh". That time my gal can't take it, had diarrea when trying it every week.
During CNY, my mum feed my niece steamed egg (Japanese type one). E likes it very much and always wants more... we started to give steamed egg every morning.

Walker :I also read that it will hinder the development and its dangerous as there are cases where babies flip over or what. But the elders think walkers help them to learn to walk. Anyway, my point of view is to use sparingly. Cos sometimes just want to have a break so let them wander around in the walker when they are still unable to walk.
Tubao: My mil also heard that China pple feed their kids eggs thats why so smart. haha. But its true that eggs help in brain development. Its good that Emma can take eggs so well. Amanda will vomit when there are eggs. Haizz.

ooh i will try! curious to see if E is L or R handed. not that i really mind either
self feeding
oh, like that then E can feed himself too
i thought self feeding is can scoop by themselves also - scooping at this age is the messy part!
agree it's messy, but i think it's all part of learning how to feed themselves. and i think the earlier they get to feed themselves, the faster they learn. i've seen 2 year olds who can feed themselves v well, and 5 year olds who still wait to be fed...

re walker: Heidi has been on the walker since 5 mths? She started to walk recently at around 12mth 1 week..i think it doesn't really affect the progress of walking..i used to be on walkers to according to my mum and i walked at 11 mths. every baby just have different development stage.

joeey, same concern, RaeAnne is also using her left hand to hold things and feed herself (biscuit only). I prefer for her to be right handed cos so many things in life are made for right handed people in mind. But hubby doesn't mind her being a leftie. Anyone knows if being right handed or left handed got to do with genes? I asked hubby since both of us are right handed, how can our daughter be left handed?

genice: actually there's nothing wrong for walking late , in fact my mum said i only walk when i'm >1.5yo. i think we dont need to concern too much on the physical development, healthy is most important ma.
iso: yea, i think OCBC centre there got one LSH. er, but not sure wheher it's only for OCBC staff.. but i think they got preferential rate for their staff la.
esther: can eat whole egg liao right? how you give? fry? in fact i myself is allergy to eggs when i'm a kid. after eating egg my eyes will get swollen. but then i still very tam jia and love eggs a lot. but luckily i outgrown it.
sweetpea: actually i also very scared if got warning.... sigh.. but too attached , how? my son was on walker since quite young, but he is ok when he walks. maybe if he is not on walker he could walk earlier?
cheryl: vernon can climb out of the walker ah!!
re: steamegg
when we cook this do we put seasoning? if no seasoning, will it smell fishy?
re: walker
shaun wont climb out of the walker but when he is out of the walker he will turn the walker upside down. same as heidi, shaun in walker in early months too and also started to walk in 12 mths +.
nag: mine doesnt sleep in cot/playpen very long ago cuz too small for him.
he sleeps on the floor.

my boy (#2) is still sleeping in the baby cot. when i was pregnant with #2, i transferred my gal to sleep on the single bed when she's abt 20 mth old. 'cos i need the baby cot for #2.
if financially you are ok, probably you wanna consider getting another cot for #2.
