jenifur,
I follow Prof Shichida, Glen Doman and Dr. Sears in parenting
. It's about lots of love and understanding our own children.
What your #1 is doing to you now, could be he wants your attention and you to accompany him. What I will suggest which many might not agree, is to just spend more time with him, carry and pat him and talk to him to tell him that mommy is tired carrying him, ask him to lie on bed and mommy will pat. Give him what he wants. Ask till he said yes. He will be ok already. Gotta take baby steps to "correct" behaviour. I will recommend "The good behaviour book" by Dr William Sears and Martha Sears. It's a very good book, I find.
My #1 will listen to me when I ask him to do things before I gave birth to the gals. Even when going for classes, he is quite independent unless I had not given him enough attention that day or previous day. Now, after giving birth, I was away from him for 5 days. And when home, I cannot carry him, cannot do things with him, cannot play with him. He dun really listen to me now, but still quite a happy boy. Gotta repeat and repeat. It's kinda like detached... He's more attached to his daddy and porpor now
hmm... I do not believe in spanking. Violence will create violence in them
If a child hit or beat other children when he/she goes to school, very likely the parents also beat them at home. They will learn to associate if I dun get what I want, I just beat up the other person, cos that's how I was treated. Furthermore, now is spanking the backside, next time might be even more when get out of control. They will get so called "naughtier" as they grow up. Violence will create even more violence.
According to Shichida, when a kid is difficult, parents should reflect on themselves
. It's true. Whenever I am tired and frustrated, I will have a cranky and naughty #1.
jerejoy,
You should be able to cope. Believe in yourself
You just need to recognise your baby's cries and cues for their need. You will be fine and will be enjoying parenting
My hubby and I enjoyed parenting so much with #1 till he wants 5 kids now. hahaha... Last time, he only wants 1 kid.
From experience from #1, whenever he needed to be carried when he was very young, we will carry him. We did not let him cry out loud. We will attend to him when he stirred. We had a lot of objections that we should just let him cry, else carrying become a habit. However, after a few days of carrying, he do not need to be carried anymore. It was indeed tiring, but I think worth it. Following Shichida, I feel that the most important is not to let baby keep crying and searching for his needs. Baby's cries is communication. If the parents just refuse to acknowledge the cries, it will reach a point of "communication breakdown". The child becomes "closed". And parents will think that it's good, cos the child is quieter now, not realising it's the child gave up in trying to communicate. This might cause parents-child communication problems in future, and also communication problems with others or lack of confidence in the child. These are the last thing I want in my kids
I do not give pacifier to my #1, and will not be giving it to my gals too
Pacifier can hinder speech development. Some parents give the pacifier because they are afraid of their babies sucking their fingers. I read from GD that babies suck fingers cos they are exploring their fingers. But after the exploration stage, it's due to boredom. So, at a later stage, if baby suck fingers, keep them occupied. That stage will pass
Some of the things that I follow are a bit controversial, especially to our parents' generation. You know, one day, my mum was telling me that she listened to the older generations of not carrying me and my sisters when we were young. When she told me these, I can feel that she's kinda regretting after seeing the "results" in my #1. I told her it's the past already. That time, I had lots of objections and nagging, but me and my hubby insisted in our believes and follow the books.
I also do flashcards and Glen Doman program from birth. I follow "How smart is your baby" by GlenDoman and Janet Doman. Lots of objections when I had my #1 too. ...too young... ...too stressful... ...pity my child... etc etc. Cos all these are very "new". I persisted. Results are showing slowly in my #1 now. He's coming to 2 years old now
Now, everyone asking me if I have started all those things that I had done previously with my two gals! hahaha...

yr #1 sound like my gal too. Many of those who met my little gal will knw how she is like. But then again i am not 100% attachment parenting mother/believer. For me i believe in combination of both. at times i have to be the decision maker. Eg when i wan to go out/mtg with frens, i would not depends on her mood or slpign time. She has to follow my style, thus trained her to sleep in strollers etc etc. I guess i am more of the following types of mom:
- Authoritative
The authoritative style of parenting is often seen as the best. These parents are not particularly firm or permissive. They also will set high standards for their children but leave some of the decision-making up to each child. These parents reason with and listen to their children but don't hesitate to insist on certain behaviors and limits. This parenting style works well with middle-of-the-road children who are neither shy nor aggressive. It helps children develop a sense of independence and self-sufficiency
In some cases where i feel no harm then i will follow wat my gal wants and her needs. Of cos following Maslow's hierarachy of Needs, i will have to satisfy her basic needs first.

abc mummy,
I also "train" my boy to sleep in stroller when out. I also go out often, sometimes whole day
I will sling when he wanted, but not anymore now. Now, after giving birth to the gals, I seldom carry #1 already, but I will give him hugs. Do you still carry your gal?

I often have to re-read Shichida's books on the expectations of a mother to calm my souls. hahaha... I was an impatient person. Lately, due to lack of sleep taking care of my two gals at nite, I was rather frustrated and impatient towards my #1. I am guilty of that... Today, I let him go to JB with my parents. At least he's very happy there and well taken care of. If left with me, he might be cranky and a difficult child cos I am tired and not prepared to take care of 3 on my own.
Remember, whenever you are frustrated or angry, hide in another room and take a few deep breathes. Then go back to settle the situation when you have calm down. It really works for me. When I am angry with my #1, I will just do the housework and ignore him, or hide in the toilet for a while.

Hi lyn
initially wanted to engage a maid for my mum so that when i go back to work, the maid can help out looking after no1 and my mum can concentrate on the baby. but my mum is quite skeptical on maid so the idea was shelved. After trying out 2 weekends of taking care the 2 of them on my own, i think my mum does need a maid if nt she will be tired out. So i have booked a maid but will be coming only next month.
Adeline
Good for you, at least there is a childcare at your blk so convenient.me still cracking my brain which one to send zac and also convince my parents to send him there. haiz my parents bu fan xin zac go childcare scared he kena bully
Attachment parenting
=====================
This is my first time knowing this but i guess all of us does practice this in one way or another. I believe in repetition learning, esp for my son at this age. I agree with Lyn that beating the child does not help. I started off discipling my son by beating his hand but i realise it does not stop him from doing the wrongdoing. After discussion with hubby, we decided to reason with him and to our surprise, repetitive reasoning does work on him. But mind you, it takes time for the reasoning to get into him but i think the effort paid off.
Petrina
My boy is nt a stroller baby, he can sleep in the stroller at most 10 min and it must be in moving motion. I gave up and bought the ergo carrier and whenever i go out with him i will just ergo him and both of us are happier. As he grows older, i started the stroller again as he is too heavy to be carried and he is more willing to sit in the stroller. Every baby is unique, some are more fussy and need more security which explains why they need to be carried more often. I used to envy those mummies whose babies can guai guai sit in stroller and seldom fuss. My hubby told me nt to compare as our son is unique and his needs can be more demanding but he really trained and build up my patience. So now my no. 2 i am more patient and calm and it does rub it on the baby. So Pet, stay calm and happy ya!

jerejoy,
You can read Dr. Sears website for some tips. But his books got more details and more useful tips
Last time, before I found Dr. Sears book, I was reading a book by "baby whisperer". I had a very hard time. I followed that book and had a crying baby for days! There are some useful tips in there, but better dun follow all. So I dun recommend that book. So far, Dr. Sears' tips work. He had 8 children and is a PD! He should be an expert in dealing with babies and kids.
clover,
Yes. I am a SAHM. I have a part-time biz too. Sometimes when I get too busy with the biz, I will reflect that my priority of not having a full-time job is to nurture my kids. Cannot get too engrossed in other things.
I do flashcards daily with my #1. Flashing the cards is very easy and fast. It's the preparation that is very time consuming!
Shirley,
Choose a maid that can do housework for your mum. Really need someone to do housework. With 1 only, I am already exhausted - housework, cooking, teaching, going for classes, etc etc... loads to do. When I was pregnant, I pop lots of supplement cos I only eat one meal a day. I do not even have time to eat. I gotta live in a less clean home, cos I do not mop the floor everyday. Wash the toilets only when really "buay tahan". hahaha... Hopefully I am in luck, can get a good maid to do all the housework
Then we will be living in a very clean home again
I am also into reasoning with my son now. It does works.
Okie dokie... just finished my lunch.. gotta go already

sleeping on tummy
i let my bb sleep on his tummy for the first time today and surprisingly he sleeps v well with this pos and his body jerks less. i did a quick search on Internet and found that this sleeping pos is linked to SIDS. i wonder if its too early to let him sleep in this manner coz he cant support his head well enough yet.

clover,
Just keep watch on your boy for the first few days. After a few days he will be able to lift his head to turn. Let him practice lifting his head while you watch.
tsukushi,
Whenever there's opportunity. eg. change diaper time, changing time, etc. U just need 5 second maximum each time. Only one card each time. For my gals now, I am using B&W checker board. I put at the cot. So far, when they are awake, they will stare at the board. They seems interested
It will take time to build concentration and interests. And lots of encouragement and energy from your part. "Stop the cards before your bb wanna stop".
Flashcards sessions need lots of patience too and there will be some ups and downs too.
abcdisney,
I am also hoping there's no sibling rivalry in future
. My boy will kiss his sisters on the cheeks just like we kiss him.

Thanks for all your tips. Now I've to persuade HB to stop using "Mr. Cane" on #1. I nv approved of his method but he keep saying even our Church Senior Pastor encourage cane. He always say - Spare e Rod & U spoilt e child *sigh*
When I share w him bout all e shut-out syndrome etc as shown on e web, he jus said all these r -ve things to worry ppl, we shld jus leave everything to GOD.
I'm now trying to b more patient w #1 too. Trying to understand her needs for more attention. She luvs to disturb me when I'm in e midst doing stuff w Josiah. Eg She will ask to go toilet/drink water etc when I'm bfing Josiah. If I ask her to wait awhile, she will bcome v sad.
I don't think there's sibling rivalry yet. She's been kissing & hugging Josiah & she's always e 1st to run to him when he cries. So is tis another case of wanting attention or wan to b involve?
Will go grab a Dr. Sear's book soon, can I get it from Kinokuniya?</font></font>

jenifur,
I think it's a case of wanting attention. If not handled carefully, will cause sibling rivalry in future, but you have a good start there
There's a chapter in "The good behaviour book" on sibling rivalry
Maybe you can get her involved. How to be involved, I dunno, cos I am still figuring that out
Maybe you can share with me when you found out
Yes, I got mine from Kinokuniya
adeline,
Your #1 is so sweet... Can help to wipe bb's mouth...
Sheryl,
I invested in Glen Doman set. Words can only start when baby can see well. About 3 months old. Most start words at 6 months, according to the boss I bought the set from
CaiYuTong,
Wow... You give talks... But what is it all about? Which company are you working for?

I once had a prob like u or even worse. when bb din latch n jus pump, I can only express 40ml. after visiting dr kang, tis is wat she suggested. when bb latch, pump d other side too at d same time, ie tandem pumping. after bb finish drinking , continue to use dual pump to stimulate yr breast. nvm if no milk produce, jus massage n pump both breast together for another 15min . she recommend me to gt handsfree so tat I can go online or read a book during d 15min . nw after latching, I still able to gt another letdown n when bb din latch n I jus do expressing, I can gt abt 85-100ml of milk.

abc, yr boy still seeing dr terence tan? I called his clinic for some qn fr monday and up till now he still hasn't call back. kinda disappointed in him...
Hi mommies,
Saw that some of you have faced problems with CL and asked them to leave early. I don't have major upfront conflict with her, but I think we both know I cannot stand her. How do you put it across to her? And how do you pay her, as in how to prorate the payment? Thanks for advice.

Responding to baby's cries is biologically correct. A mother is biologically programmed to give a nurturant response to her newborn's cries and not to restrain herself. Fascinating biological changes take place in a mother's body in response to her infant's cry. Upon hearing her baby cry, the blood flow to a mother's breasts increases, accompanied by a biological urge to "pick up and nurse." The act of breastfeeding itself causes a surge in prolactin , a hormone that we feel forms the biological basis of the term "mother's intuition." Oxytocin, the hormone that causes a mother's milk to letdown, brings feelings of relaxation and pleasure; a pleasant release from the tension built up by the baby's cry. These feelings help you love your baby. Mothers, listen to the biological cues of your body when your baby cries rather than to advisors who tell you to turn a deaf ear. These biological happenings explain why it's easy for those advisors to say such a thing. They are not biologically connected to your baby. Nothing happens to their hormones when your baby cries.
