Adeline Sia,
do take care. You n family will be fine and get well soon.

Mikael,
ok, my boy jus look down from the side of his walker as though he is stretching to pick things on the floor from his walk. Then stretch n stretch using his stomach muscle, he finally slipped down from the walker and turn n fall on his back. You watch the Japanese movie " The Ring". Hope its clear to you.
But anyways, now when I need to put him in his walker, I make sure the walker is stationary n my eyes are also on him. Scare liao.

Babyheng,
you boy is so handsome since birth.

Liyun,
you siao liao. I m going to keep Issac nude photos to blackmail him next time. hahahhaha! Jus joking la.


Welcome Chua!

[happysunflower]

jerejoy, celia,
My gals are crawling on the cold hard floor. kekeke... My home too many things, so did not bother to buy mat for them. First time, will knock their face on the floor, then no more already. They learnt very fast

And sometimes they decided to lick the floor. hahaha....
You gotta make sure the mat is non-toxic, cos they will sure lick.

 

[happysunflower]

yt,
You can get teether from Robinsons. Takashimaya also has.

Your boy is very fast! Can support to walk already. It's just the beginning of "ransacking" everywhere.

 

[mummygirl]

hihi mummies,

me having exam next week. So stressed now! 4 days never surf net already. Been studying everyday. Decide to come online to destress a bit. So many postings to read now.

YT,

you can find the teether in raffles city robinsons.

 

[mummygirl]

Now can let baby walk already? My colleague told me best to let baby walk after 1 year. Try not to let them walk too much.

 

[adelinenchelsea]

YT
sembawang plaza baby store on the 2nd flr has it too...store called cherie i think

mummyboy
i know a few babies who walk bfor 1 yr old...it's ok lah, perfectly normal just like walking at 18 mths is normal too

....personally i prefer walking than crawling and some babies actually skip crawling phase, feel that walking "cleaner" for bb hehe

 

[shalom]

Welcome Chua!

Shaz17

HappyMummy

DS #1 (Travis) did filling cos there's a hole on his molar tooth.. Whereas DS #2 (Dariz) only did cleaning... Bill add up to $299.60.. Damn Heartpain man... And the best part is something wrong with my baby bonus card, I can't use the baby bonus nets card to pay, so I have to pay all in cash... WOW~~~~~ Lagi heartpain!!!!!!

Long awaiting Happybellies pre-order

I have liased with supernature. He is still liasing with his boss to give us a better discount. However max charge is $12.55 per tin.

He knows that i am the one who started off with this BP thingy and hence will give me more discount than other ppl and also priority to us.

hello mummies.

haven online to check the forum for some time.. work is a little too hectic so impossible to sign in during ofc hours.. at nite me too tired recently..

so many bbs noe how to crawl liao!! mine still no desire to crawl. but think size does affect the motor skills development.. but i think i juz take it that she's not ready yet.

Re:sick bbs
hope all bbs will recover soon.

Reart-time study mamas
Study part time is pretty stressful. so take care while preparing your exams! I finished my master b4 i start my mummy career coz not confident i can manage both. Understand tough to juggle study n work. now with a BB some more.. must really take care!! JIA YOU!!

Re:cranky bb
Felicia recently teething so is a little cranky too. kept waking up at nite too. really tiring to look after her..

A recent photo to share:

 

[abcdisney]

crawl
wow so many bb crawling. That's great! But definitely i am not looking forwardm to it.

Adeline L
i hope mine is one who skip the crawling stage though. hahaha

 

[simp]

All e babies look so cute, i think i have fallen in love w bb Tristan, such a cutie like japanese / korean. Hahah i have always kinda like jap/korean boi hahaha

 

[madeleine]

My girl starting to wean herself off.. So i suppose it's time for me to stop bf! will express till no more milk then stop hahaa.. but now she taking more fm..!

 

[mummygirl]

Adeline,

How come? She don't like to drink your bm?

 

[ryan_mummy]

tristan is handsome!
boon, felicia is soooo chubby!! if ryan were to see her, he sure wan to bite her...
today i went to church, he saw a 18mth gal, he went nuts.. stretch out both hands wanna hug her.. then grab her skirt.. took her hand n lick.. she so scared! her granny was carrying her, my mom was carrying ryan..

adeline, u intro fm to her? then maybe fm taste better to her?

bugis BHG having mini baby fair...

jerejoy, aiyo.. i also can't rem how many times ryan wake up in the nite. he'll scream, then i immed latch le. then i also immed go back to zzz. end up this morn whole mattress wet wif bm. jialat...

celia, confirm mon meeting? meet where?
i'll be gg sentosa for "retreat" wif hb n ryan this wed till fri..

so looking forward..

abc, i gave ryan carrot this morn, he vomit.. dun like.. then i added bm, he also dun like..
end up i throw all away n fed him cereal instead... 4 teaspoon of dry cereal, he finished all. so happily. haiz, i dunno wat to do manz.
i'll be trying sweet potato tmr morn. hope he's more receptive. otherwise i cham le. only eat cereal n no other veg/fruits..

 

[abcdisney]

pet
obey the 4 day rule. ANyway dun worry too much. They r new to new taste. If he reject try again. Btw maybe u try potato first since it has the mildest taste.

 

[ryan_mummy]

abc, ok.. i heard that some babies dun eat carrot because of the raw veg taste.. so i dunno whether to try again or not..
i bot pumpkin, sweet potato n carrot for him yesterday. enuff for a wk's supply on each veg..

 

[abcdisney]

pumpkin
too dry. not advisable to start easrly

sweet potato/carrot
taste quite strong

For carrot better to get organic ones as it tend to be much sweeter. The non-organic ones are rather raw taste.

Try potato first for 4 days(nothing but cereal and potato) before u introduce any other food. Tat is to check for allergies as well as to allow bb to get use to the taste.

 

[alynnk]

pet,
if steam till very soft, the raw taste shd nt be tat strong..

 

[reena]

bbheng,
Tristan is very handsome. My 6 mth old weighs 7+ kg only.

boon,
Finally see your chubby bb pic =)

Pumpkin/Carrot,
For a start, give a tsp or so for the first 4 days. Once tested not allergic to these, limit feeding pumpkin/carrot to twice a week as they may cause jaundice in your bb.

Crankiness
Not the kids but me! Both dd3 and ds2 refused to take their naps and they are super cranky! DD3 woke up at 11.15am from her morning nap (slept for 45 mins only) and I tried to put her to sleep again at 2pm, together with ds2. She's very tired but just REFUSED to sleep. Ds2 also refused to nap, lied down and got up, told me "It's morning time!" and dashed out of the room. My method is, if you ignore what I say, I'll ignore you too. Then ds2 cried and cried (ok, he can cry easily for 30 mins or more non-stop, a very long-winded boy). DD3 was also cranky as she's very sleepy but just refused to nap. I'm home alone with the 3 of them as DH's outstation again. I hear nothing but 2 children crying... And dd1 had to add on by asking me lots of questions at this time. I gave up. I just let them CIO. I need time-out... I don't know how long I'm going to sustain my sanity.. Sorry, just needed an avenue to vent.

 

[madeleine]

mummmyboy, dunno leh suddenly reject lor. Dunno y also. But nw she slp, I manage to latch her lor.

 

[mummygirl]

[belle_mommy]

adeline :

Can understand how u feel. Its not easy with one kid being cranky, let alone 3 kids! Hope u feel better after u vent out.

Clover,

Petrina,

Sometimes, he latches on too many times and I'm disturbed by his latching and find it hard to fall asleep. but there are times where my breast is being exposed and I din realise it till I wake up. haha! too tired liao. dun know how to break his habit manz! hopefully i can wean him off when he's one yr old.

 

[isabellali]

“White Rabbit Creamy Candy” Found To Contain Melamine

AVA’s latest laboratory findings show that the “White Rabbit Creamy Candy” (大白兔奶糖) from China is also contaminated with melamine. Consumers who have bought the affected products are advised not to consume them.

The latest test results bring the total number of milk and related products from China imported into Singapore that are found to be contaminated with melamine to three. The other two affected products are "Yili Brand" Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection” and “Dutch Lady” brand of strawberry flavoured milk.

All the affected products have been recalled earlier. Since 19 Sep 08, AVA has suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China. These products include milk, ice-cream, yoghurt, confectionery such as chocolates, biscuits and sweets as well as any other products containing milk from China as an ingredient.
