Maybe each of us bring our own changing mat/big bath towel -like those we bring for bb massage? Calamari, where's your condo?

 

[angel__oz]

eh we can use e mini toons mat. The mummies who are interested to join can all chip in lo. But then store where?
Then each week we want can take out n use lo.
Calamari, can book every week meh? But it's just for an hour. In fact i think we will only use about 45 mins.

 

[angel__oz]

angel, i think a mat would be good coz we can use it for a long long time plus when our babies start to crawl and spend more time on the tummy, it would be useful

Re: Sucking thumb
My gal also suck her hand, not just the thumb. the wrist, her first 2 fingers or sometimes the wholefist she will move here n there. My MIL say if suck thumb is love daddy, suck finger is love mummy. She likes to suck her fist lei so love everybody????

 

[joellez]

Sherin
no worries, just planning my purchases, trying to space them apart so the blow is not too big and painful
btw you can have my gymbucks
I will collect the gymboree books from your plc at CCK, if u can arrange a weekend for some of us to collect. second choice wld be registered post.

 

[Mylollipopdays]

Sherin, I dun mind sharing in the mat too if can find storage space. Once brought my nephew for a Kindermusik trial held in 1 mummies' home in a condo, everyone sat on the floor with their bbs. I like this type of music-based playgym classes!

 

[calamari]

sherin: i can find out whether i can book every week or not...hehe..maybe 3pm or so. Ok to sharing mini toons mat BUT i cannot store the mat at my place leh cos my place is seriously short of storage space! HAhahahah!

Mummies interested: BUT my place quite far for ppl staying in the east and north. I am at Jurong East, Chinese Garden MRT station nearby.

RE: mat for gym

for convenience, maybe one of those cheap $20+ mattress that are around 2" u can get from neighborhood centers may be enough. light enough to carry around in car / taxi. if want thicker, layer on a thick towel. Or fold into half to use - double layer!

 

[angel__oz]

i'm near calamari. hee. think simp and angel also quite near right.
let's workout the mat prob. how abt yoga mats?
I know watson sells yoga mat w a bag. we can each bring one and then we can lay them together? Should form a huge mat?
then we'll just bring the mat every week lo. dont have to bother calamari to store. The mat is quite huge somemore.
3pm is ok with me. I think it's the same as if we were to attend a playgym class right? we need to allocate that one hour for our babies.
Erm. Calamari, does the function room have a CD player?
I'm so excited

 

[joellez]

sherin
yoga mat good idea. dense and compact.

Yoga mat is great - I've 1 Nike one at home. Sherin, good idea!

JE is near my home. 3pm on Sat is good too. Wow, when can we start this?

Re: Sucking Thumbs
My Princess is sucking her whole fists and fingers, not just thumbs. They're at the exploratory stage lah...Also drooling A LOT! And recently ever since started sucking her fingers, she seemed to have lost appetite for milk, can't finish her 120ml (every 4-hourly)!

 

[raynsky]

actually can get those blue foam mat, which is better than yoga mat. cos yoga mat is quite thin. Foam mat can get fr those army supplies shop. My pilate instructor ask us to buy tt instead of yoga mat, cos she say it's better for our back.

 

[angel__oz]

next sat? So this week it leaves some preparation n booking time? and buying of mats? Is nike one good? It's $30+ right. I read that even for yoga mats there are 3mm to 6mm ones. It would be good if everyone can invest and get e same one. So that we will have an even "flooring" will be easy for babies when they start to "wiggle" or crawl around.
Angel, can u advise how much is ur mat? and where we can get it? Meanwhile, i'll check out watson's. Think it's cheap but may not be good. I think nike's non-slip right

 

[angel__oz]

raynsky, where can we get it? u got a pic? how much?

 

[Mylollipopdays]

Sherin, I got my Nike mat from World of Sports during their 20% storewide discount. Can't remember how much, but around that price. If I'm not wrong, before discount around $50+ (comes with a carrier). Actually, can put big towel on the mat incase aircon is too cold for bb. Next Sat 2 Aug afternoon Jaspire, Lynn and I have GD assessment. How about after National Day, when our baby's neck is stronger too?

 

[angel__oz]

oh talking abt GD. I need to call lawrence!

[cheesycake]

hi mummies: any idea how to let bb gain more weight? my gal is only 4.3kg at 3mths. im so worried abt her low weight gain. PD said its ok ans she gave her vitamin to take. she advice me to give her milk 2-3 hrs interval. i have tried but she refuse to drink when she's not really hungry. her intake is abt 500-600 ml daily which i think its not enough. sometimes she will slp thru out the night from 10pm to 5am then wake up for milk. dunno shld i wake her inbetween her slp to feed her? and she's very fussy when drinking, she will keep using her tougue to push the milk away...

how to make her drink more milk? im very heartache to see her so thin.

 

[summerdaze]

Re: Sucking Thumbs
my ger oso loves to suck her whole fist.. not 1 but 2 at the same time. hehe.. greedy ger..

simp, my ger oso does the same thing. suck her thumb immediately after i unlatch her.. in the end... i latch her again till she finali slp. these few nites.. she had been cranky n refused to slp. i had to latch her for 1hr +..

babybliss, ur boy sooo cute.. still shy shy.. mine doesnt leh.. either she smile happily or will cry out if grandpa carries her. i tink my ger is afraid of guys...

Sucking Thumbs/fingers

my gal too loves her 10 fingers. think is pacifier to her. my boy last time never do that...My gal suck her fingers when she wants to sleep or want to drink or i unlatched her.
I also think it is their security thingy.

 

[mashimaro08]

Hi Sherin,

I'll collect the gymboree books at Harbourt Front, just let me know which day you convenient. Thanks.
For walmart spree, can i still sen you my orders?

Cheers

 

[raynsky]

Hi Sherin,

It's something like this: http://www.argoss.co.uk/sleeping_mat.html

It's more used during camps, but i tink it's gd to use to let bb lie down cos it's pretty comfortable n keeps their backs warm. There's different thickness to choose from. Cheap also, i tink i paid less than $10 for it. Can get at army supplies shop at beach rd. Tink west mall also got a shop which sells.

 

[cloudme]

cheesycake:
my ger also abit like ur ger...keep pushing the formula out...but since i change teat better liao...

jasmine

[Mylollipopdays]

Jolene, my ger is exactly like yours too! TV addict, her eyes will be glued to the screen and no matter how we turn, she will tilt her head to face the TV! She even watches TV when we place her on the Parklon mat. LOL

Dunno if it's a cause for concern?

 

[koori]
