Hi ladies, what do you think of the DOIDY Cups? >>> http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/2638936.html?1246537248
esther, i have one of those cups, super cute but Adel didn;t know must drink from the longer end. Most times she'll just drink from the shorter end which defeats the purpose. She can drink from our normal cup without spilling much already, only not very good at holding it without slipping as she tilts the cup, so the handles will definitely help..
angel, mummyfel and other mummies interested in the customised iron-on labels, i've asked another mummy to start an official spree for it, me too 'incompetent' to keep track of orders and payment..
heehee, can just post your orders on the spree thread or PM the mummy if unable to post..

Thanks Lynn for sharing. Think I will not buy it then. =)
Anyone giving Pedisure Complete to your child. Can it replace the formula? I'm quite puzzled about the instruction on using cold water...

Esther,
I am giving yan pediasure. Pediasure is more 'filling' coz it has more calories compared to normal formula. Its supposed to be that per ml is 1 calorie if you mix as per instructions. So its targetted at picky eaters who dun eat enough. So if you mix say 220ml for a feed it will have 220calories. Some parents feel that it won't hurt to replace formula but some parents use it as a supplement. For me, i am afraid of overfeeding so i only give yan 2 feeds of pediasure per day. The other 2 feeds for the day i feed her enfagrow. For me my decision is coz when she starts to eat more and eat better, i will stop giving her pediasure coz i feel that a variety of solid food for her will be better than supplementing her with pediasure. Just my two cents...

hi everyone! i'm new here..also SAHM. my son's 14 months and is still breastfeeding and co-sleeping with me. Am getting worried that he'll still sleep be in my bed when he's 4 or 5... Is it too late to train him now? In between he's also slow talker, just mama, dada.. have not yet given him MMR jab cos scared it can cause autism...
jaime : yesterday was so bad! scream n shout. never seen this before. like tat how to go out... cannot pak tor with hubby already. haha. he wants either of us. everytime we go out maid will tell me he cry but didn't know he cry for 90 min!
janine : hi. i'm ftwm with quite flexi hours. my son is 14 months. it's not too late to train him sleep on his own bed. in fact I just trained my son 2 months ago. he needed to fall asleep on our bed. my friend encouraged to train him now since he's young. her daughter still co sleeping with her at 4 yrs old. regarding mmr, I'm considering to take separately. actually my pd told me mmr not proven to cause autisum. he gave it to his daughter. but if we are uncomfortable, we can take individually. he told me measles most important.
amy : ok. thanks. may supplement him 1 feed a day.

Hi Mummies,
My son will usually point to my bed to sleep after his night-time milkfeed but i will usually transfer him to his cot after 2hrs on my bed which he will be adapted to accept then and thus sleep till the next morning. Btw, cud i ask how many hours usually wud they nap in the noons and how many hours overnight they wud be into their dreamland...? cos my son will retire to bed ususally on a fixed schedule daily at about 8.30-9pm and awakes between 7-7.30am with a noon nap of about 1.5 to 2hrs... each day.... Care to share more with me, mummies...?? His weight seems a little stagnant after turns 10mths old since... very slow indeed. HOw many mths ? & What is yr child height and weight now ?? I am quite concerned on his growth chart.... lets catch up more then. hr frm u gals - RAR

Jule's mum: hahaha.. wait till he sleeps already then you can go park tor. That's what I did occasionally, our secret date starts 10 pm ! hahaha..
RAR: sure ! Can always meet up for tea ya !
Xav is 15 months plus, with height of 79.5cm, weight 10 kg, just managed to hit the 50 precentile.
Sleep timing is almost the same as your boy. Just that Xav naps twice a day. Each nap about 1 and a half hour to 2 hrs. Woke at 6.30am after he was discharge from the hospital. So now I follow his wake time and try to get him to sleep earlier.

Today went to PD for Adel's 2nd prenavar jab, at 14 months only measured to be 70cm, 8.15kg
PD is worried abt her being so short and has referred us to do some testing, so worrying.. I dunno why her skirts and dreses are looking shorter and she's reaching higher places but the measurements are simply not showing. But she is definitely on the short side though, just that evey 0.5 or 1cm would make her chart look better..
My niece was also on the small side, i believe almost the same statistics as Adel when she was at this age. But neither me nor my hubby can be considered short, and my sis is even taller than me but both our girls are short.. Hiaz I remember my sis fretting over it, now my turn has begun..
My girl is 14 months and 5 days old, but my PD has already done the 15-18 month assessment (age written as 15 months on the assessment), and all her growth charts are also plotted for 15 months, seems like a mistake but i was already too distracted by the request to send my girl for checks until i didn't realise until we've left her office.. Heng on her assessment only one box is checked 'no', if not then will seem like she has failed her test lol.. maybe should with my PD again what is climb up several steps without holding onto a person, cos my girl can manage like 3 steps up the stairs holding onto railings before getting scared and demanding to hold my hand instead..
very depressing day..

cath, thanks my mood totally spoilt manz.. so retail therapy today lor, bought books from borders (go download 30% off) and then collected part of a playhouse from a mummy. silly me forgot to measure the car the panels too big to fit.. headache now.. impulse buy cos the other day my girl so happy playing in the playhouse at the store, cried so hard and drama mama when we had to leave, so hubby agreed to buy one even though we have no space in our house for one!
just measured my girl sleeping, from head to heel 73cm leh, why PD's nurse only got 70cm? my girl did put up a fierce struggle every time she's being measured though, only before 6 mths she was very cooperative..

Thanks Jamie, Jules' Mom and Leo's Mom, it's so comforting to know i'm not alone... Will also be checking about individual jabs, thanks for that!
Lynn, I think head to heel measurement can be difficult to measure cos maybe she was bending her knee which makes her appear shorter on that day? On another note, I found my son growing much taller since I started giving him cheese everyday. My only concern now is his head diameter which is small... they say big = high IQ.
RAR, meeting up will be great for all SAHMs. I've been so bored at home. Sometimes I wish to go back to work.. but cant bear to leave baby behind.

Corte Gr : My son's like that too. His internal clock will ring at 630! His usual bedtime is 830-9. I tried delaying to 10. Also wake up at 630. But good thing is he will play by himself till about 7 before waking us up.
Lynn : I think the measurements in the clinic is not accurate. Ju measured last week and he was 73. I doubt it cos he doesn't look that short. He also struggled when trying to get his measurements. His head was not straight, abit tilted, and the nurse just pull his legs to take the readings.
Xav mum : by the time he sleep we tired already la. how to pak tor. Haha.

on weight and height.. same same my son not growing much.. used to 95% percentile.. now drop to 70% percentile.
reason too active + maid feed him less for 2 mths. (porridge too watery and lesser too).
but dr say.. they should but on 200gm per month starting from 1 yr old.
now my son, after shower.. with no clothes on. his head v big and body v skinny.. can see all his bones.

Hi Xav,Janine,violet, mums...

Janine,
Yr boy is pretty tall cos ryan is only abt 81cm and have same weight at abt 11kgs as well... His head circumference is pretty big of which i cant remember the figure though but a truly consosled when u mentioned that big head = high IQ cos it have been a big worry to me. Hahah i am flattered and relieved and hopefully is true hor.. ? Thanks for the equation though.
Hi Lyn,
Cheer up... cos my my niece when young is very tiny and short. My sister used to worry so much during her slow growth sprout for being very short and small built for her age then... but guess what time outgrows their built whereby she is now so big and tall that i found it unbelievable too... u take it easy and worry not, yeah. Tc! - RAR
Mummies...
I am unsure... some of the postings showed that yr tot sleep pretty much compared to ryan's as he only have a total nap hrs of 1.5 to 2hrs at noon only... well i have read about this healthy and happy baby sleep hours which was guided at about at least 11hrs sleep overall wud be least sufficient for a day rest for age up to 2yrs old...? Do any of your tots here sleep on "yao-lan". I am now stucked with this knotty problem to help him overcame the habit of napping in yaolan instead on bed or cot... cud anyone have similiar experience to share ....? Thanks.

hi mommies, currently ivan is going through "back to basic" for almost 1 week. he is refusing all kind of solid food and wants nothing but milk. is any baby going through this phase? since his rejection of solid food, i have changed his milk to pediasure. but not sure if it is nutrious enough for him. can anyone advise?
jules mum: yah! i tried that too! sleep later at 9 plus 10pm, but he still wakes up at 630.. and he doesn't play on his own.. immediately call us to go over and get him.. sigh.. he's our alarm clock now.. was just telling my hubby.. dunno when we can go back to waking up at 11am again.. ha!
calamari: wow! kayla's eating a wide variety already! is she picky or bored of her food already??
lynn: 15 months can walk up steps already?? i dun think mine can either leh.. hehe.. climb up considered?? he can climb all the way up 3 floors..
we haven't brought for 15 month checkup yet, so dunno how his weight and height will be.. but my hubby and i are not very tall, so i'm not expecting baby to be above average.. maybe if don't expect too much won't be disappointed..
