cloth covering face...

i must admit i dun really care that much. cuz even when we carry ruth and sleep at times, she will automatically move her face if she happen to squeeze and squeeze and block her nose. she doesn't really just lie there and suffocate against my shirt or what.

at night when she sleeps, she likes to press her face light against a pillow to feel 'safe'. she sleep need to have like...4 pillows around her.

but her pillows are all very 'light' and made by my mother in all sorts of sizes.

once again, i give my mum one million hugs for doing so much for her.

 

[xiaoyun9]

artemis,
the book seems not bad.
you organising amazon spree too?
i may be interested in joining if the review is good.

 

[xiaoyun9]

sunny,
if you secure the bumper well, shouldn't be risk of suffocation. the worry part is the blanket which are too big for them. hence i still let bb wear long pants and socks when sleeping and without using any blanket.

my gal now has 1 pillow and 1 bolster. they are all quite small and i don't think it poses risk for her as it barely covers her face.
i am the kind need to have lots of pillows during sleep (i've got 2 big pillows, 2 small pillows and 1 bolster on the bed for myself; hb has 2 big pillows + 1 bolster), so i tend to give her more things to hug as i thought she will be like me.

re: hair loss
my hair loss condition is better now. don't see so much hair on the floor liao. *phew*
i think it's just a phase. don't worry too much about it, it will grow back one...

 

[artemissoh]

Hi Xiao Yun,

Oh, I was thinking of joining Garfield9's. I am thinking of buying 4 different books with the buy 3 get 1 free promo. Cheapo mummy.

 

[xiaoyun9]

artemis,
i am interested in this too:
http://www.amazon.com/Playtime-Learning-Counting-Colors-special/dp/0312495676/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216359936&sr=8-2

do you think it's useful?
but it doesn't have the 4 for 3 promotion.

 

[kitsune_sg]

Artemis, I thought of that as well but I take leave, my hubby also can't take leave, no use also lor unless I want to deprive him of bb's first time. Teaching profession got a lot of limitations.

Gar, me also feeling very sian, already 'lun' for so long liao, still got to start early by 2 days. Thought of waiting until next weekend, but nowadays, my SS already not enough for her. Frozen stock depleted again so don't know whether can tahan TBF for another week. Dilemma

 

[xiaoyun9]

re: amazon
hi gals,
need to check with you all is that really a lot of savings to get those children board books from amazon?
sorry, i seldom visit local bookstores. i only know that local bookstores doesn't have that much varieties.

 

[prata_queen]

hi mommies,

Does anyone have 2 sets of baby cubes (2oz) to let go? Must be brand new.

Kindly email me at [email protected]

Thanks!

 

[nyny]

lezy/xiao yun
there was once my boy grabbed the cloth and cover his face. he made some noise to get help. i didn't go to rescue him immediately. after a while, after i pull off the cloth, he looked at me and 'scolded' me. haha...

 

[babyhope]

xiaoyun, i never check the other pdts, jus see the sunscreen and the BP price is 25-27. Have not tried this brand before so din dare to buy other pdts. Have been using sebamed for my boy and so far so good.

re:amazon, i saw the dr seuss books that berry mentioned before on 4 for 3 promotion. Can check those out too.

Taka toy sale, ongoing now. Interested mummies can check this out over the weekends.

 

[tongtong8]

jeannie: wah you let your gal had drops of coffee? i think better not even if it's just a few drops? later when she grows up kopi gian hehe

bx: you woke up to pump at 4am and do work? youi mean house work?

babyhope, which bp price is high? you mean the CB BP by nabmum? i bot calendula cream from her lei. i think price quite ok. not sure about the other products though.

lezy: wahhh, LOL when you said your parents haev to squeeze your flesh layer by layer.. haha

 

[violetlce]

Sorry to intrude, Mummies,

<font color="0000ff">RE: Formula Exchange for Similac Stage 2

(1) Mamil Gold Step 2 (400 grams)
(2) Nan Pro 2 (400 grams)
(3) Enfarpro A+ (900 grams)

Please PM me if keen. Thanks!</font>

 

[xiaoyun9]

tongtong,
babyhope is looking at sunscreen only. it's indeed quite high comparing the price from vitaglo.
however, if get from other websites, e.g., drugstore, BP price is comparable.
calendula cream is a good buy from BP.

 

[babyhope]

yar tongtong, I only check the sunscreen price. What is the calendula cream used for? I see so many mummies buying it.

xiaoyun, amazon books may not be cheap all the time. I remember checking out the baby einstein ones and found that BP price is cheaper.

 

[starrbliss]

re: feeding fruits
must steam apple and pear? i thought we can feed the fruits puree without cooking.

 

[artemissoh]

Hi Xiao Yun,

That's cause it is not available from Amazon.

RE : BP on Braun products

My new BP is up! Must advertise a bit.

http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/1566598.html

 

[artemissoh]

Hi starbliss,

I think it is a personal preference.

 

[starrbliss]

orh, ok. thks

 

[artemissoh]

Hi Garfield9,

I am thinking of ordering the following:
<ul>[*]Where's the Poop? (Hardcover)
Qty: 1
Price: USD8.99 <LI> Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (Board book)
Qty: 1
Price: USD7.95 <LI> Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? (Board book)
Qty: 1
Price: USD7.95 <LI> Time for Bed (Board book)
Qty: 1
Price: USD6.95[/list]I think like that means the Time for Bed is free right? I will need to confirm on the potty book though. Will update you tonight.

 

[tongtong8]

babyhope, the cream can be used for rashes, ezema, scratches, cut, or diaper rash. i think it's pretty useful!

starbliss, can pear be blended till mash texture? is the chinese yellow pear or the green pear which is harder one?

 

[jass1408]

tongtong:
hahah i nv make pear puree bcoz i oso not sure the ang moh green pear / chinese yellow pear. hee~ can't decide which is better...

 

[jass1408]

artemis:
wat is a potty book?

 

[genice]

tongtong and stephie..hehe.. somehow i am not worried she addicted to kopi leh.. cause i also cant do w/o kopi everyday.. At least only kopi and not other things..

If i miss my caffiene intake i will get headache leh.. my hubby also same. But i will try to control myself from giving her , must remind my mil also.. cause think she let gwen try everything.

xiaoyun.. sorry.. i got short term memory.. i have paid u for the bug blend thingy right?? so is this sunscreen more expensive than that?? If we order now when can we expect to get?? Wanna bring my ger swimming liao...

Re: cloth cover face

Erm... i think i am a sadist mum leh.. i always cover gewn face w her handkechief leh to play w her and sometimes she will " shout" for help.. Otherwise she just try to pull it down.. And i think quite fun leh.. hehe. Think she can breathe thru the handkerchief lah.. not that thick. But of coz under supervision.

At night.. i use nappy to swaddle and cover her.. she will break free and sometime cover her.. so must watch out lor.

Artemis, so i got the maths dvd and shades from children's place w u hor.. can send to me via post i will trf everything to u together can??

 

[jass1408]

artemis: i tt to u later ok... now gotta finish up something before knock off

 

[artemissoh]

If I am not wrong ang mo green pear is more cooling and will cause phelgm while the chinese yellow pear is not that cooling. That is IF I didn't remember wrongly.

 

[artemissoh]

Hi jass1408,

Potty book is something for baby to read once you are ready to start toilet training.

I plan to start when Danica is 9 months.

RE: tt

Okay no problem.

Hi jeannie,

The DVD is for M1 set. Yeah and the shades. If opt for post, should be the same price as sunny, an additional S$2.35 which adds up to S$3.39 in total.

 

[sweetpea]

Hi Eliaw

Sorry to read about Carter..poor boy. Glad he is
alright now. You have rest too.

I've also started cereal for baby. Yesterday took half-day leave just to see how my MIL feed him, so that tomorrow I will know how to feed him. Too bad didn't have my camera or video cam with me. So cute to see his mouth so dirty.

I have also reduced my pumping..now pump at 7am, 12noon and 6pm, then latch at about 10, and about 4am. No time in office to pump.

 

[xiaoyun9]

jeannie,
i've received your payment.
comparing to the previos one, this is $0.02 more expensive. The difference of this is that it doesn't have citronella (bug repellent).
if order tonight, think will take about 2 weeks to reach here.
so, what's your say?

 

[starrbliss]

tongtong, have not started solids yet. but i had pureed apples for my doggies so i guess pear can too. as for what type of pear, i guess it personal preference.

 

[jass1408]

[artemissoh]

Hi jass1408,

It should be a very simple book for babies/infants to read and understand that they are supposed to do their business in the toilet.

Hi goodbbb,

I think should be possible but Garfield9 is the one organising the spree so need to check with her if she is comfortable.

Hi jasmine chen,

Thanks, I have received. It works on my laptop so I think should be okay. Hahaha... I think Danica will love it. Currently, she loves watching hand puppets.

Hi Stephie, jass1408, snowbelle,

I have received your transfers.

[kitsune_sg]

Jasmine, ok count me in if there's a collection at Tampines. The DVDs are original not fakes or parallel imports right? Sorry, no offence, a bit paranoid cos lots of fakes around.

 

[jasminechenx]
